The team was hired to recover a personal comm' unit which was currently in the possession of corp exec. He had the comm in a safe on his private estate.
My team was made up of an Engineer, a Heavy, and a Netlogger.
The team started at the manor gates and easily wired a bypass on the alarm and slipped through the gates, closing them once through. Unfortunately they were almost immediately spotted by the three guards in the gate house. Heavy was the nearest to a face man they had, so he stepped forwards and tried to talk his way passed them. Sadly they were not having any of it, they slapped the alarm button and... BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! Seconds later there were three dead guards, and our team's Engineer was lying down there with them.
The team ran into the manor grounds, and took cover in a briar patch. Guards were everywhere, they swept right past the team without seeing them.
Moving out of the briars they came to open ground surrounding a small lake. The mist coming off the water highlighted a bunch of alarm-linked lasers sweeping the grass. The team danced their way across the grass leaping over the lasers and not giving away their position.
Unfortunately they then found themselves by some willows which appeared to be a temporary hub of the ongoing search of the grounds. Bad luck was hounding the team and they were spotted. The guns came out again. BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! Four guards lay dead and Netlogger had more holes in himself than he was happy with.
They moved on towards the house which was surrounded by a moat. With a grapnel thrown across the water, Heavy crosses without getting wet, but the injured Netlogger slips and unfortunately shouts in dismay. The shout brings three guards, and only Heavy is able to fight them as Netlogger is swiming the rest of the way across. Fortunately the guards seemed to have been hired for their muscles rather than shooting skills, and Heavy soon puts them down.
The team ran to the nearest window, but that bad luck kept running. As they were fiddling with the window security four guard dogs came yapping for them, the dogs jumped into the moat and started swimming across. The team opened fire at the dogs in the water but missed and then it was a confused melee that ended up with four dead dogs and Heavy bleeding from a bad bite.
They busted through the window and found themselves in the library. The team looked around at the stuff in glass cases thinking it was probably worth a mint, but the alarm blaring meant there was no time to loot.
Exiting the library they came to the stairs but a guard had taken a good defensive position behind the stone balustrade with a machine pistol. With no cover at the bottom of the stairs, the team rushed the guard straight up the stairs. They managed to get up without dying, and mobbed the guard, but in the scuffle both the guard and Heavy ended up bleeding out on the floor.
Netlogger's knees went weak, injured and alone, he decided he couldn't go on, and bailed on the mission.
