The orbit of Los Angeles was as busy as always. Commercial transports and citizens on their private shuttles were constantly coming and going to the planet, along with the occassional police patrol. For the last few decades Planet Los Angeles enjoyed the highest development rate in Liberty.
"It is our turn now." The Lane Hacker operative with the blonde hair said. The relatively young man was augmented, with mechanical extensions covering his eyes and a side of his face.
"Are we going to be scanned now?" Goro Yoshida asked while he was occupied with another business on his computer. The senior Hacker's tone was demanding and his posture intimidating. The entire operation was a very risky one; no mistakes could be allowed since that would put all of them at risk.
"Yes, activating the plasma burst shielding now."
Then the augmented Lane Hacker operative pressed the button and the ship was momentarily cloaked on a powerful electromagnetic field. This forced the docking ring's scan to absorb tremendous amounts of data causing the system to collapse and thanks to the absorbed software viruses to produce the wrong results to the traffic inspector. While not an extremely complicated technique, countermeasures could easily be installed and thus the technique was used sparingly by the Lane Hackers.
Once the ship crossed the planet's atmosphere it headed for the Bronx District, one of the oldest and relatively poor districts of the planet. The relief was obvious in the eyes of most of the crew since the majority of them haven't been on a planet for years. The team swiftly landed on a private launching pad and headed to a nearby unmarked and abandoned apartment.
"We are twenty kilometers away from our target. Load up gentlemen." Yoshida announced. While seemingly abandoned, the hideout contained an impressive number of Detroit-made light arms and close combat armored uniforms. There was also a respectable amount of stored cardamine. The Lane Hackers through their planetary sympathizers and Junker contacts have established such hideouts and stashes in every district of Los Angeles, should they ever need to use one of those. From the collection Yoshida retrieved only a pistol which clearly indicated that he wasn't going to activately participate in combat.
