Bigguns - to be completely honest, I had a completely different view as to how this run should end.
In my eyes, due to Strawberry's warning you avoided the ambush. Carried IT 3 kilometers by foot to the clinic through an alternate path. (get some fatigue perhaps) then after her spirit get back to her body. You'd tell her that your car is ambushed and you need help retrieve it. (how can she refused you just saved her life).
The drones that ambushed you were IT's drones. They were hacked while she was out and I imagined
that ambush starting when IT struggles to gain control over one of the drones then go head to head with the enemy rigger. 3 of you over two of them. One of my experiences is that things do not go like I plan, not always, but I really did not anticipate that you will actually tackle the ambush. I accept the critique and I hope that the next run will be more fun!
I was completely open to solutions that completely avoided combats this run.
The first combat would have been avoided if Max accepted Strawberry's help by coming clean that he really wants to go out of the window, and she'd make him invisible rather then just going for a sower so she does not have to face him in combat.
And the exploding jacket is actually a force 5 fire spirit that possessed Max jacket. (that is both good and bad.) it is good because the spirit helped you, it is bad because now Strawberry knows where Max lives. It was completely planned.
