The Tannhäuser Job

The Tannhäuser Job

Working on the details for our second mission (but third session). I asked the group what sort of jobs a team consisting of a Killer, Pusher, and Hacker would take, and was told “wetwork”. OK then.

////MISSION DIRECTIVES:

When you accept the mission, mark experience.

When you decide how to get into the Hyatt Regency Barbasquillo, mark experience.

When you transmit the signed documents, mark experience.

When you transmit proof of Tannhäuser’s “accidental” death, mark experience.

When the mission ends, mark experience.

This is a pretty straightforward job. The team is hired to assassinate Elizabeth Tannhäuser, the major shareholder of a small construction corp after a merger deal goes bad. The fixer knows where the target is staying, the Hyatt Regency Barbasquillo, but Tannhäuser will be there for less than 24-hours. The team needs to get into the hotel, get the target to sign some documents (a will dictating where her shares will go upon her death), then eliminate her so that things look like an accident.

There’s a twist though. The Corp hiring the team is Real Bad News. Once proof of Tannhäuser’s death is transmitted, a second team in another part of the city is greenlit to fire off a few Kawasaki Heavy Industry Type-01 LMAT anti-tank missiles. The attack will obliterate any evidence of shady dealings (including the team), damage a major property of a rival Corp, and get blamed on anti-robot radicals. That’ll allow the hiring corp to look like heroes when they send in the prisec teams to “clean up” the slums the missiles were fired from.
