Look, It's the Goodyear Blimp!

A new VP for the Samasu Corporation is coming, and the runners are paid to welcome them.

Background:
 William Smith is an underpaid, under appreciated grunt who has been slaving as an accountant for the Samasu Corp for 11 years, being promoted only once and having only one raise. He's tired of the Samasu Corp walking around him, so he's prepared a little joke on them. Using funds from the Corp's own finachial account, he's hired runners to hijack the blimp which is going to fly over a field where a visiting VP is giving a speech. The blimp will NOT be showing the normal welcome and greeting message. It will be showing "Hey, Kamisga san! Your'e a stupid little frag up!! Smith will be laughing, the runners will be paid, and Smith's boss will be held responsible for the incident. In fact, he'll be fired.
Meet:
Smith calls up the runners and tells them to meet at the local Soy Burger Cafe. At the eating joint, he will present the runners with a total of 8,000 ¥ to do the job. The runners can make a negotiation test against his willpower (3). For every success, the price will be raised by 1,000 ¥, going to a max total of 13,000 ¥ at the most. No one is to be killed or seriously harmed. Smith tells them that the blimp is being held at the private airfield of Samasu Corp. After flying the craft over the field, you are to crash the blimp into Lake Washington. Parachutes are onboard. The runners must make the break in and have the blimp ready at 10:00 am the next morning when the VP arrives.
The Airfield:
The airfield is patrolled by 7 security guards, each armed with Ares Predators, 2 clips of normal ammunition, stun batons, handcuffs, ID cards, blah, blah, blah. They have on Level one form fitting armor and an Armor Jacket. The airfield is enclosed with chain linked fence. Security cameras are located in a few places. Additional security can be called in and will arrive in 1d6 x 2 minutes. There are 4 hangers, 2 runways, the small airport, and a control tower.

Points:
  1. Hanger 1 - This hanger contains a small plane which is currently under construction. The construction crew is gone when the runners appear. It is guarded with a maglock (r8)
  2. Hanger 2 - This hanger contains the small blimp which will fly over. The door is also protected with a maglock (r8). There is one guard positioned here at all times. The door to the blimp is unlocked. The roof of this building is specially designed to open up. There is a technician on board setting controls.
  3. Hanger 3 - This hanger is empty. Door is a maglock (r8).
  4. Airport - This is the main part of the airport. It leads to the terminals, baggage claim, etc. There are 2 guards here patroling around. There are 6 suits scattered around.
  5. Parking Lot - The parking lot is completely filled with cars of suits who are seeing the VP's arrival. Pleanty of cars. A security guard wanders around here.
  6. Main Gates -A single guard watches all the incoming and outgoing cars. He also monitors the security cameras around the area.
  7. Airplane Terminals - These are empty, as no flights are scheduled in or out.
  8. Control Tower - The control tower has one guard and 3 techs. There is a rigger jack point for manual control of an aircraft that can override the normal controls. The runners must either control the blimp from here or make sure the rigger doesn't take over the blimp.
  9. Runway 01 - The runway is empty.
  10. Runway 02 - This is the runway that the VP is arriving by. There are about 20 people waiting nearby, along with 2 guards.

Methods: The runners can either:
1) Take the blimp from the hanger, and fly it manually. They must open the door and roof first. As well as take care of the rigger in the control tower. A decker or rigger can make skill tests every 2 minutes to fight for control of the craft, deckers receiving penalties.

2) Take the blimp from the control tower. Holding off the guards long enough to crash the thing into Lake Washington (A virus can do that, but there is a good chance it could be crashed by a corp decker.

The host for the planes is completly hard wired, so the decker cannot access it from the Matrix and must use a LAN connection from inside the airport.
