Shadowrun: Street Legends Supplemental - Title

Getting into the pyramid was the comparatively easy part,
and the tactics she employed became something of a recurring
motif in her extraction work. With her mixed-race appearance
and fluency in Aztlan Spanish, Rucker led a six-Marine squad
disguised in Aztechnology corporate security armor and
infiltrated the pyramid, posing as a unit regrouping from earlier
conflict. Her team was able to locate and recover
their fellow Marines, two wounded and one dead.
She earned the nickname Hard Exit from how
they made their escape. They needed to evacuate
the pyramid with their comrades and then make

knew they were Marines, they were dead. If the CAS
saw the Azzie armor, they were dead.

defensive line with a well-aimed LAW that broke the line
and brought them into contact with CAS troops. Sgt. Rucker
managed to fast-talk the Confed soldiers whose position they
overran into not shooting them, and that’s where the story
would have ended. Mission accomplished. No one left behind.
Hard Exit’s a war hero.
She spent the next few months in the former Aztlan sector
working on civil affairs and conducting peacekeeping operations
in the Confederation’s new territory. She kept a firm hand, but
she knew that controlling the environment means knowing
the streets. She drew on an old concept called “community
policing” that fell out of favor back in the 1980s. The idea was
to overcome the traditional us-versus-them mentality that often
exists between police and residents of neighborhoods hit hard
by crime and to put the residents and police on the same side,
