First we stop by the Moon and hook up with Yusuf. He digs up some info on the armored guy who attacked us. He is a mercenary who resurfaces every 10 years or so, named the Avenging Angel. Most likely the armor is passed down from person to person as the Angel has been around for more than 90 years.

We visit Venus and then move on to Hektor. En route we purchase new SINs and gun registrations. We also switch the ship’s computer over to the secondary system so we may not be recognized or traced. There is a lengthy docking process for us to get on to Hektor.

We drop off the legit merchandise and then head toward Vayard to contact the hacker AI via its IP address. Apparently this hacker was caught up in shady business developing one piece of the planet-scale technology virus, and is now trapped in Vayard’s system, undetected. She can take the company’s network and security system off of Hektor’s grid for 20-30 minutes so we can get in and take the data for the planet-killer. From what we understand they are still 6 months away from going live with the program.

We go to a coffee shop to message OC Prime. We check the area for tails and wait 30 minutes before starting. Cam pings the address and gets a response saying “Am at Vayard in Section 22, two floors from the loading dock. Give signal. Will give you schematics once you are inside.”

We go to Vayard via cab (Raptor in his armor and wearing a jetpack). Section 22 is an office space with many businesses. They are currently open. There are scientists and corporate business people inside. We ping OC Prime to let her know that we’ve arrived and move in past the robo receptionist. Cam gets a schematic of the building and we start moving towards the goal. A guard stops us, unsheathing his snap blades, and Eve takes him. Raptor grabs him and fires up his jetpack, slamming the guard against the wall and instantly turning him into chunky salsa. (Raptor does 33p damage to him, taking 2 boxes of damage himself.)

Eve and Cam run after Raptor. Cam gets a message from the AI that the auto defenses have been activated. Security droids come out and start coming towards us. We need to get to the door. Eve uses a maglock strip to get in. Cam hacks in to one of the robots to get it to stop. Raptor flies at another one with his jetpack and rams into it. The last robot turns and leaves the building quickly, we are not sure why.

Breaching the room, we move in and see server racks with a coffin-sized and shaped steel case.
