The videos are piecemeal and of grainy quality as if recovered from a wiped drive. The area shown is obviously in the lower levels of Center from the dilapidated look of things. A team of four guards are seen standing outside of one such building, when their shift change came they obviously had taken a more relaxed approach. They watch as an attractive well to do young woman comes in paying more attention to her and their coffee than to the doors they should be protecting.
As the attendant leads the woman in back and opens the vault there is a strange hazing effect, but as the camera is combined from another angle you can see a team of four people standing behind an illusionary wall. The moment the vault door is opened their is a flicker as the team teleports in.
As they are chatting with their replacements and refilling coffees a small team of five humanoids move in with incredible speed. Through a series of teleports and improvised techno-wizardry miracles the team is able to start looting the vault. Then the video pauses about two thirds of the way through. Watching your old team mates in action is impressive. The fact that Castruccio apparently does not know of your former affiliation could make this mission a lot easier.
Castruccio points out a sleek looking black box retrieved by one of the mercenaries. “What you see there is a box we have been interested in for some time. When out intelligence network became aware that it has gone back to the market we became very interested again.
“The team you see there is a new crew we are not very familiar with yet. However they are apparently competent. What I want is that box, and what is in it, I do not care how you get it, bribe them, steel it, or work something out in trade. But I will pay you for the box and its contents.” As the video resumes you can see the techono-wizard opens the box his face shows a flash of rage before coming back into control.
“I am willing to pay 1,500,000 credits for that box. If you can get it to me without there team or anyone else being alerted to the fact it was taken I will quintuple that price.” Looking he makes it clear for the team to understand. “Discretion is so important to me on this one, that I would be willing to give a favor in addition to the pay if you can pull this off.”
It is only after having let you watch the video that he tells you the tough part. Castruccio does not know where the crew is now. The last time he saw them they were hired my a Mekakurian for a mission Castruccio has not been able to discern. He currently does not know where they are, but that is why he is hiring you.
