Cursor reloaded his crossbow up to max and left it ready, sick of the previous  road bumps and feeling like he'd actually been a little useless.
"Let's get this done with...

All right, come in. The gate open.

Once your are through the gate, You follow long and winding driveway through several stands of densely packed pines.
(OOC: perception rolls.. rolled... results counted...) Cursor first spotted reflections, then the pattern, there are cameras mounted on the trees that are monitoring you as you travel. (All are online, from Cursor's perspective)

At the house, you are silently greeted by four “businessmen.” All are dressed in ill-fitting off the rack suits, and all are Hispanic men. The leader of the group, the same as the one form the gate AR introduces himself - Good evening, I am Michael. Sottocapo is expecting you, but he’s currently involved with a meeting downstairs in the shooting range. He’d appreciate it if you’d join him there.

If there is nothing that you do the group of four escorts you into the mansion. The brief look you get, reveals that the mansion is luxuriously appointed. You're
passing through a formal sitting room, and around a grand staircase, before descending to the basement. Mata recognize some items - that the knickknacks in the sitting room alone were worth several hundred thousand nuyen. A moment later once you descent to the basement, you're escorted down a short hallway and then through a soundproofed door into an indoor shooting range.

Just before you pass through the door your Michael - Speak only when spoken to, and wait for the sottocapo to address you.

Omar Chavez is standing at the range counter with a pistol, examining a target, and leaning heavily on his cane.
Sottocappo is an elderly man. He is skinny to the point of near frailty, and stands with a slight stoop. His frailty and his cane only serve to make the Ruger Super
Warhawk he carries look even more enormous in his hands and in its shoulder holster.

A skinny, cringing elf, stands hunched over next to him sweating heavily wearing a badly ripped white shirt.

As you enter, Chavez hands a target to the elf. Hang it. As he walks down the range, he draws a gun and targets back of the elf’s head.
Sorry for a small delay ;)

Mata Tabi stands there stoicly and quietly expressionless as he watches the events, he is slightly amused by it, but he'd prefer a trog of some type was the target. Not that he cared much for any meta, Elves and Dwarves were.........less filthy, more Human, not grotesque disfigurements of the Human form like trogs.

Eight-Stone tensed up slightly as Chavez took aim at the elf, but he did nothing to stop it. As far as Eight-Stone was concerned, the job was almost finished, and he didn't want to make waves. Maybe this elf did something to warrant execution. Maybe Chavez was just the insecure sort, and wanting to spook the new shadowrunners by wasting one of his minions like some cheesy trideo villain. Either way, Eight-Stone didn't have much incentive to stop it, as much as he didn't really want to watch it.

As seemingly all but Mata tensed, you noticed the Cursor face change turning grim, and his eyes becoming distant, which you began to recognize as a sign of his deep Matrix ventures.

Mata is used to reading faces, so was the only one to see Michael's very subtle eye movement.
Eight-stones on the other hand was the only one in position to see that two out of three took stances allowing them to open fire without drawing guns through their belt holsters. The third is aiming troll. Seems like taking off Mata was the Michael's job. So far nothing ill has happened.

in another reality

Cursor found herself in a node sculpted to the smallest details as trid simulation of the house. You can see the digital emulations of your escorts standing behind you. They're not logged in, their icons are sculpted around the positions of their commlinks. Your team is also emulated, same as the battered elf.

There is distinctive lack of Sottocapo icon.
There is also distinctive presence of an icon of persona sculpted as Mafia Gangster (styled to be wearing suit and hat from 1920, his suit however is not in vertical stripes, but they seem to concentrate weblike in one spot on his back probably. He is belting a revolver with a very long pipe and he is watching you closely.

Since looking for node isn't something aggressive he isn't doing anything else.

back to mundane reality

The elf took his steps slower and slower ... reached end of the shooting range ... started to hang the target

BAM !!!

Bulls-eye !!! the target was hit in the center and torn from the elf's hand leaving him crying and covering the head.

Hang it !!

(OOC: Cursor, entire movement of the elf took about ten seconds had he shoot at the elf, you had no chance to find his node and hack it)

with a still smoking gun he turns toward your team, assessing you. For a brief moment he watches Michael who very slightly nods toward Cursor.
Feeling lucky punk ?!? he smells the smoke from the monster gun and waver briefly on his frail legs.

The question obviously needed no aneswer.

This was supposed to be a quiet delivery, and the news are trumpeting about your little cruises like there had been a bank robbery or something. (this made you wonder, who make bank robberies this days?). But, he takes a look on the old fashion chrono at the wall, you made in time, and you somehow haven't been identified.

Give me the package. and once you hand it to him, Michael pay them.

One more thing, he turns to Mata you took a bullet for that package. I like that kind of loyalty. There is a small bonus for you. I also might have a work for you. (OOC: transfer for Mata is 500 nuyen more plus an info to send him check for new suit).

Now if you excuse me. He motion Micheal to walk you out.
As you move out you hear Ruger's roaring again, and shrieks of the elven man.
After one of the shots the shrieks have suddenly ended in mid-cry - this might have been closing the soundproof doors. This must have been ...

The End
