Welcome to the beginning of this adventure, I would like you all to bear in mind that English is not my native language and that I'm no pro writer, so be forgiving and enjoy the ride.
It is 2076 and we are in the outskirts of Night City.
A fixer by the name Dakota is hiring a group of edgerunners to find and retrieve a specific item that one of her customers is looking for.
A group of young misfits has gathered and is ready to go on this job to make some Eddies, the only thing that matters, besides rep, in Night City.
Wrench's van is humming idle while the group gets the last details on the job, they are to visit a man called Falco in a storage container lot and retrieve from him a yellow jacket.
The job should be easy enough, but is it ever?
The chumbas pile into the black van, a quite unassuming vehicle, if you don't consider the red band running diagonally on its sides.
Upon arriving on the site of the exchange, the group hears gunshot and, getting closer, see a R.E.O Meatwagon ambulance parked between some of the containers.
A cowboy looking man is busy shooting four figures dressed in yellow jackets that are trying to encircle him.
Bluescreen and Thronen jump off the van and start circling around the containers to reach the ambulance, while Wrench comes to a skidding halt and backs the van into a container squishing one of the yellow clad shooters.
when the van comes to a halt, Maven start targeting people with her sniper rifle, while Insurance engages in close with another attacker.
The firefight is short and brutal, between the party and Falco, three of the assailant are put out of action, while the one stuck between the van and a container passes out.
At the rear, the Netrunner and the Rocker are going through the ambulance trying to get some clues and intending to steal the vehicle for themselves move it further to the back.
Since the other members of the group seem not to have any trouble in the gunfight, they take their time and Bluescreen finds a shard in a case on the passenger seat, jacking it in he finds out that this hit squad is was supposed to recover the same yellow jacket they are after and it seems like all these jackets are equipped with a tracking device.
When the situation calms down, the group enquires with Falco about this attack, and learns that the jacket in his possession was actually stolen by some biker with red and blue hair that actually run away just minutes before the party showed up.
After inspecting the ambulance and finding a tracking device in it, the party decides to split, Bluescreen and Thornen will head back with the ambulance to the meeting point with Dakota, while the others will try to find something interesting in the remaining containers, while Falco gathers his stuff and gets out of this place.
While driving back Bluescreen and Thornen receive a call from the R.E.O. headquarters and the netrunner has to put up a little acting show to pretend he is one of the ambulance crew. Doing so he learns that two more squads are directed to the storage container lot, so he cuts the communication and calls his friends to tell them to get out of there as fast as they can before the new ambulances arrive.
In the meantime the other half of the group has been scavenging the storage lot, they found a sealed door that seems to be leading into a bunker protected by Militech mines which Maven has removed and plans on selling for big bucks.
Suddenly the edgerunners hear the roar of engines and get on the van and leave towards the desert to the outside of the city and two new R.E.O. start chasing them and shooting at the van.
Maven and Insurance try to shot from the back door of the van with little success and Wrench is busy driving while being shot from the second ambulance.
Thornen and Bluescreen, being aware of the situation, ask Dakota if she has any help to send the others' way and she calls a merc solo by the name of Hardpoint which appears moments later charging with her motorbike in one of the ambulances, jumping off the bike at the last moment and slashing the ambulance crew with her mantis blade.
Shortly after, while the second ambulance gets dangerously close to the van, Wrench receives an armed mine from Maven and chucks it in the ambulance that, after a moment of swerving uncontrollably does up in a giant ball of flames.
After this very intense chase, Wrench drives back into Night City and the party is reunited at Dakota's base, which happens to be the temporary camp of a nomad family she is working for.
The party decides to "donate" the ambulance and its supplies to the nomads, to possibly get some favor later if needed.
While the nomads check the ambulance, one of them notices that the tracker device on board is pinging with a signal indicating the position of a jacket, very likely the one the party is looking for.
It is then decided to follow that signal quickly to avoid loosing the trace. Everyone gets ready to go, except for Wrench who needs to take Delila (the van) to his garage and get it fixed after the numerous gunshots it received.
This is where we decided to interrupt the first session, with the party renting a car and driving off to the location indicated by the tracking device in the jacket.
