==Summary==
The team got pulled out of the Daze' holiday party to help Alyssa pay off some long term debts, and end up saving Christmas (probably) in the meantime.

==Background==
Alyssa P. owes the occasional favor to the Fae Courts from some dalliances in her younger years as the gates and portals opened the courts up. Including Carmallend The Yarl of Northern Wind, who in turned owes several favors to a spiritual being often simply called Mr. Kringle, colloquially.

For years the great celestial orrery has adjusted as the Holidays become increasingly corporate, leading (or possibly stemming from) an intersection of The Metaplane of Man's North Pole and Zecorporatum. This has lead to Santa's workshop reinvisioning itself as a swiss Chalet parked north of the Emerald City in Zecorporatum with a casual magical assault that will turn into a physical assault soon, Santa and the Elves need some outside the box thinkers to help them fight off the legions of Zecorporate agents trying to monetize the workshop and capture Mr. K for their own productivity related devices.

==The Meet==
Alyssa puts out an emergency call on the Haven network and through the Daze itself that there are two folks here to cash in a Favor and she cannot possible handle it while running the Party. If anyone wanted to take on some work, it was available with some immediacy.

The two "runners" (obviously relatively high force spirits in a normalized form) looking for Alyssa were carrying themselves well and trying not to light the place up or be too obvious,
but were obviously lighting the place up and incredibly obvious, just with the reek of force. Alabaster, an Elven Street Sam Blackjack from Zeecorporatum and Evergreen, a Spirit of Elves (Man) had slid into the real world to look for a team of outside the box minds who could help a unique client with a distant matter. The pay would be viable, if not in cash , in terms of experience alone.

It did not take the team long to offer Alyssa some help and find the elves in question, having a quick chat and agreeing to head with them to check out the situation and heading out to a 2085 Eurocar Westwind in cherry red, radiating far more power than either of these initial spirits, with its "Rudy" vanity plate.

==The Plan==
The team hopped into the spirit car which shot off towards the nearest OU exit, using its natural connection to the home realm to drag them all through the deep astral and directly into Emerald City, Zecorporatum. The team did minimal equipping and exploring here, gaining some understanding of where they are and heading to the Emerald City Crime Mall in this location to further stock and feel out the situation.

Ultimately the team decided to take the "on the ground" approach to the chalet, as opposed to more metaplanar shenanigans and the car transformed itself, as expected, into a Red Nose Reindeer of some repute. The gang weathered a snowstorm on a 12 hour trek north and out of the city, getting minimal cold damage in the process due to preparations, and eventually made their way to the workshop to speak to Mr. K.

Understanding they only needed to provide support and some outside the box ideas on the final wave of the siege, the team took advantage of some militant elves and their newly created (and honestly quite silly) snowball launchers and candy cane ballista and set some fire zones out on the main entrance.

Renato, overcome with emotion, draws an earnest apology from Santa about the difficulty of his life coming up, and is asked if he has any particular christmas wishes. Renato apologizes to Mr. K for his outburst and thanks him simply for proving he was real, prepared to give all on this mission.

==The Run==
The team bolstered defenses, gathered elves for violence and set up barricades and ballista. While Renato did take a hard hit from a spirit and end up out on the floor, overall the team mounted a very successful deflection of opposing waves of Blackjacks, and gave the elves enough time to protect the principle, who would eventually in the middle of waves of opposition come tell the PC's they have limited time to get out to the Zecorporatum side before worlds disconnect.

Ultimately they pushed to the last second, so Rudolph crossed into Zecorporatum as the bubble burst, his formula transferring to Zecorporatum and creating a flying eurocar ripoff that lives permanently in that realm, even as the north pole spawned a new Rudolph.

==Aftermath==
Christmas was saved, Zecoproratum did not keep control of Santa's incredibly productive workshop, and a version of rudolph became perpetually a high force spirit of cars with some unique abilities.

The PC's were offered anything they liked courtesy of the Jarl, on the arrival back, but opted unanimously not to accept his fae mark.

==Rewards==

Thank you for saving Christmas in Here we go a wassailing: Metaplanar Edition (Extreme 30 RVP)!

28 Karma (28 RVP)
6 CDP (2 RVP)

One Chip From Alyssa P. Alyssa P Available as Contact at 1 Loyalty.
Counts as Initiation Ordeal

Alternatively:

Players can exchange Karma for Gear Rewards 1: 4000 Up to 20F as the Fae Courts conspire to grant your requests on Behalf of the North Pole. Any category, except Deltaware.

Accepting any of these gear rewards will lead to the Fae Mark of Carmallend The Yarl of Northern Wind being placed on a physical location of their choice marking them as one of his retinue, subjects, or property. The Jarl basically sees it all of the same and a pact the Jarl will claim them as a protective boon to the Courts of the North, but has no designs on the pc's. The only requirement the PC's have to maintain this pact is to avoid the Jarl to the best of the PC's ability.

==Summary==
Tasked with finding a missing reporter, the team searched far and wide before rescuing her from an aggressive paramilitary group. The mission was fully completed successfully!

==Background==
Ela Blanche Beaudin was kidnapped and Mr. Johnson wanted her located!

==The Meet==
The team met Mr. Johnson and received their mission to rescue the reporter, Ela Blanche Beaudin. She’s been missing and he suspects she was kidnapped. By who, he wasn’t sure. He gave the team a dossier on her and told them where to find her apartment.

Mr. Johnson agreed to pay the team 12,000 Nuyen to rescue her and bring her in alive, and less if she was dead, as long as they discovered why she was kidnapped. The team was prepared to negotiate for a higher reward, but he told them if they could skip the back and forth, he’d give them 2,000 Nuyen extra right away. They agreed.

==The Plan==
The team decided the best course of action would be to first investigate Ela Blanche Beaudin’s apartment for clues, and go then from there.

==The Run==
Investigating Ela Blanche Beaudin’s home revealed some interesting information. While Twitch Fox searched elsewhere in her apartment and Lanky guarded the doorway, Samael did some snooping on her computer. There, he found a digital photo of a picturesque home in a rather nice neighborhood on her desktop. After some skilled matrix searching on the device, he found an address for the house. He also found out that she was doing some digging on the local prostitutes, and the team made the guess that she was trying to help them in some way.

Next, Twitch Fox and Samael spoke with the nearby prostitutes while Lanky continued to cover their flank. The prostitutes gave the team a picture of a man with a scar across his face who seemed like he may be connected to Ela Blanche Beaudin’s disappearance. Lanky remembered some prior military knowledge of his and made the connection that he must be either former or current military, judging by his appearance.

Deciding the best course of action would be to investigate the house in the nice neighborhood, the group drove and rode their cars there and discovered the location was being staked out by several vans, with some type of paramilitary organization inside. They drove around the neighborhood but after being noticed and followed by the group, decided the best choice would be to leave the area and sneak back in on foot.

Under the cover of darkness and rain, the team sneaked to the house and found several more paramilitary personnel inside. Lanky took up a sniper position and Twitch hid in the nearby, destroyed ruins of a barn, while Samael made his way stealthfully into the house, proper. Samael looked into several of the rooms where he found a decker jacked into the matrix, ready to unleash the home’s weaponized defenses on anyone who would attack. So, he made the expert decision to knock the decker out with a pen full of tranquilizer.

At the same time, Lanky noticed a patrol was approaching dangerously close to their position, so he and Twitch Fox shot the pair of guards with less lethal ammunition. Lanky was smart enough to use a silencer, but Twitch Fox, who didn’t have a silencer for his assault rifle, and was out of range for shooting with his machine pistol, had no other choice but to fire a burst of bullets which echoed out blazingly loud throughout the neighborhood.

At that point, the team was forced to go loud. With a thunderous firefight, they knocked out most of the opposition with less lethal attacks, but a few of the guards left the team little option but to kill them. Once the smoke had cleared, Twitch had caught a round in the shoulder, but would likely make a full recovery. However, the team discovered Ela Blanche Beaudin in an adjoining room who had been struck with a couple of bullets and was dying fast. Using Samael’s Savior First Aid device, Twitch Fox stabilized her and Samael called in a drone to airlift her safely to the Mr. Johnson.

With their mission completed, the team quickly slinked through the shadows to leave the area before reinforcements could arrive.

==Aftermath==
With their mission completed to the full scope of the Mr. Johnson’s request, the team received their pay!

==Rewards==
14,000 Nuyen (7 RVP)
+2,000 Negotiation Bonus
5 karma (5 RVP)
6 CDP (3 RVP)
+2 CDP (Base)
Optional: Connection Finigan Lieutenant and Fixer: Quinn Connoway C3 L1 (3 RVP)

==Player After Action Reports (AARs)==
Twitch Fox: "Despite the danger, this mission just felt kinda good. I may have a hole in my shoulder, but I have no regrets here. Bullet holes heal. But the life we saved was worth the pain."

==Lanky=="Another day, another dollar. Putting a chunk forward into Abdul's investment scheme. Job almost got hairy but we saved the extraction target. Need to get more kami.
Need to get off kami. This might be a problem."

;Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/GamingHoople/

==GM Style==

===Strengths & Weaknesses===
I'll be the first to admit I'm a little rusty and the LC is giving me a chance to this system back up.

I'm fairly adept with all things awakened, from basic adepts up into Metaplanar stuff. I may not know the realm directly but with 2-3 days I can read everything that exists and extrapolate a run from it.

I'm tolerable with regular matrix and slowly getting back into understanding rigging. I just don't know how great of an ewar cat-and-mouse rigger/spider I am capable of presenting.

General sixth world themes and vibes I'm pretty great with, corporate court specifics less so. I've been playing for as long as the game has existed but I was never into the politics or high level corporate story until the D's will came out. Now I just can't keep up as well as I'd like.

===Personal Preferences===
I have a couple "hot takes" that I think it's worth putting on my Gm sheet.

I'm not super into the idea of Player Character operated Paramilitary Forces, or PMC's. In most of my preferred shadowrun fiction, the runners are the oddball specialists or disposable
backup for the merc squads and specops teams they occasionally get hired in by. The thematics that I prefer tend to go in opposite directions of "Massive NPC organization backs up
it's PC employees." so I prefer to avoid gming in that space, so I do not usually pick characters from the ranks of professional PMC's.

Second. This game comes hard boiled with plenty of negative qualities and hazards that can be "roll to disrupt the run for a bit." I recommend taking those if it is your playstyle.
I enjoy roleplay and negative quality chaos as much as anyone, but every instance of it being pushed into a limited time format table is a potential time sink of 30-60 minutes and
in some cases lead to major in game consequences. As such, I have a two part policy regarding this kind of thing.

1:If I , as the GM, am overlooking or not utilizing your negquals appropriately, I appreciate having them pointed out. However if I feel you are using a negative quality or mentor negative
to repeatedly pull attention away from the focus of the run, I will likely ask you to take a break from the play space and I likely will not pick the character again in the future.

2: Similarly, If I feel the player needs to make a composure roll for things happening in the game state. I will ask for them. If you have an internal conflict about how your character will act
in a given situation, I would ask that you settle that internally and make the decision for your character rather than adding "random actions and additional die rolls" into the play space.

===Pick Policy===
I tend to choose characters that I believe can bring something to the run, and fit the general themes and vibes I'm looking for. If a PC is clearly contrary to the stated goals of the run, I would prefer to only choose them if they're specifically looking for that experience and the majority of the table is comfortable with.

By "contrary to stated goals" I mean "Code of Honor: Mafia" when the job is clearly a mafia hit, etc.

I also choose characters who have a narrative tie in or fit to the run, even if they aren't particularly suited to the core of the run. (Inviting an Espionage Mysad to an Adept Initiation Brawl) for some background story and political happenings, for example.

To me, having a narrative goal can be as important, rewarding and fun as an actual mission goal. That said, if I feel the character will be back-seating during the run I will try to reach out on Discord directly to ensure the player is aware and comfortable with that role for the scope of the run.

===Declining the Meet===
Obviously, given the nature of LC runs it's easier to replace a character last minute, however if you think your character would
decline the meet given the post, my first choice would be to ask the player to choose a Pregen, followed by trying to find a replacement player.
If the goal is to show up just to play "Break the scene/shoot an NPC" than I would prefer to know that up front. I do run an occasional "bad day/everything goes wrong" style run but that's not usually what I want to cook into my sessions.

If you are going into the run with the intention to decline at the meet, please say so in your application post for the run.

===Run Beginnings===
I am not super excited about starting with multiple fixer calls and Sin checkpoints with vehicles so I will typically check that the characters are capable of making it to the meet as part of my run selection, and ask a little information about the character's day before arriving directly at the meet. Fixers can of course be used for information and checking out the J, but with seasoned characters and players particularly I will probably get right
to the run.

===Interfering with Run Objectives===
It really depends, especially where things border on PVP. However is the team as a whole is "anti" a job, I am willing to spin things in another direction. That said, the run may be a bit more free form than I traditionally run if it goes this way.

If you are joining with the intention to go opposite the run objectives, please say so in your application post for the run.

===Realism===
I absolutely fall more into the Mirrorshades/Pink Mohawk side of the spectrum. I take inspiration from shows like Leverage and Burn Notice, as well as Shadowrun art and typical TV and Movie magic and science thriller tropes and vibes. This does lead to a sometimes bombastic shadowrun experience.

I am capable of, and do occasionally, run things in the uber gritty/realistic black trenchcoat style, but that tends to be more straightforward corporate opsec shadowruns, not my gang, street or random magic related stuff.

Ultimately I'm here to provide a fun session for everyone at the table and going against the job can REALLY facilitate that or go the other way, and I want to make sure the whole group is having fun.

===Failure===
Failure is an option on my runs and risk/reward/partial completion can matter in terms of RVP payout on a blown run. The consequences of failure are directly related to the runs threat level and actual threats involved. Could be as simple as "not getting paid" on a milk run, to enemies or long term after effects of burning edge, etc.

Obviously, 2 CDP will be given no matter what.

I will typically also offer Common Sense on blown jobs.

J.R.: /* Strengths & Weaknesses */

WORK IN PROGRESS

==About me==

==GM Style==

===Strengths & Weaknesses===
I'll be the first to admit I'm a little rusty and the LC is giving me a chance to this system back up.

I'm fairly adept with all things awakened, from basic adepts up into Metaplanar stuff. I may not know the realm directly but with 2-3 days I can read everything that exists and extrapolate a run from it.

I'm tolerable with regular matrix and slowly getting back into understanding rigging. I just don't know how great of an ewar cat-and-mouse rigger/spider I am capable of presenting.

General sixth world themes and vibes I'm pretty great with, corporate court specifics less so. I've been playing for as long as the game has existed but I was never into the politics or high level corporate story until the D's will came out. Now I just can't keep up as well as I'd like.

===Pick Policy===
I tend to choose characters that I believe can bring something to the run, and fit the general themes and vibes I'm looking for. If a PC is clearly contrary to the stated goals of the run, I would prefer to only choose them if they're specifically looking for that experience and the majority of the table is comfortable with.

By "contrary to stated goals" I mean "Code of Honor: Mafia" when the job is clearly a mafia hit, etc.

I also choose characters who have a narrative tie in or fit to the run, even if they aren't particularly suited to the core of the run. (Inviting an Espionage Mysad to an Adept Initiation Brawl) for some background story and political happenings, for example.

To me, having a narrative goal can be as important, rewarding and fun as an actual mission goal. That said, if I feel the character will be back-seating during the run I will try to reach out on Discord directly to ensure the player is aware and comfortable with that role for the scope of the run.

===Declining the Meet===
Obviously, given the nature of LC runs it's easier to replace a character last minute, however if you think your character would
decline the meet given the post, my first choice would be to ask the player to choose a Pregen, followed by trying to find a replacement player.
If the goal is to show up just to play "Break the scene/shoot an NPC" than I would prefer to know that up front. I do run an occasional "bad day/everything goes wrong" style run but that's not usually what I want to cook into my sessions.

If you are going into the run with the intention to decline at the meet, please say so in your application post for the run.

===Run Beginnings===
I am not super excited about starting with multiple fixer calls and Sin checkpoints with vehicles so I will typically check that the characters are capable of making it to the meet as part of my run selection, and ask a little information about the character's day before arriving directly at the meet. Fixers can of course be used for information and checking out the J, but with seasoned characters and players particularly I will probably get right
to the run.

===Interfering with Run Objectives===
It really depends, especially where things border on PVP. However is the team as a whole is "anti" a job, I am willing to spin things in another direction. That said, the run may be a bit more free form than I traditionally run if it goes this way.

If you are joining with the intention to go opposite the run objectives, please say so in your application post for the run.

===Realism===
I absolutely fall more into the Mirrorshades/Pink Mohawk side of the spectrum. I take inspiration from shows like Leverage and Burn Notice, as well as Shadowrun art and typical TV and Movie magic and science thriller tropes and vibes. This does lead to a sometimes bombastic shadowrun experience.

I am capable of, and do occasionally, run things in the uber gritty/realistic black trenchcoat style, but that tends to be more straightforward corporate opsec shadowruns, not my gang, street or random magic related stuff.

Ultimately I'm here to provide a fun session for everyone at the table and going against the job can REALLY facilitate that or go the other way, and I want to make sure the whole group is having fun.

===Failure===
Failure is an option on my runs and risk/reward/partial completion can matter in terms of RVP payout on a blown run. The consequences of failure are directly related to the runs threat level and actual threats involved. Could be as simple as "not getting paid" on a milk run, to enemies or long term after effects of burning edge, etc.

Obviously, 2 CDP will be given no matter what.

I will typically also offer Common Sense on blown jobs.

==Summary==
The small village of Hulett, inhabited exclusively by shamans who reject the technology of the modern world as a disease, has been hit with actual disease. The origin unclear, it's clearly infectious in nature, and in return they have been quarantined by the local government, and left to die. The chief asks the runners to stop that from happening

==Background==
MCT's biomedical research wing has promised that by the start of the 2090s they would have a permanent, safe and effective cure to VITAS, and needless to say, the shareholders and money people put a lot of faith in the claim. However, as more traditional research avenues prove ineffective in finding that solution they have been looking for. So, they turned to history, and found that the Amerinid population showcased a much, much higher survival rate during the outbreaks at the start of the century, and so they turned to on the field testing.

Creating in all haste a small operating base within the Sioux Nation, one of the more permissive of the NAN, they started offering the homeless and desperate of Belle Fourche money in exchange with being inoculated with a weakened version of the virus, so that they could track down any peculiar immunitary response specific to the Amerinid population that could point them in the right direction.

This plan seemed to have worked to some extent, but backfired when the virus spontaneously evolved in a way that removed some of the suppressive artificial genes, regaining some of its lethality, and in turn, infecting the local settlement of Hulett, where their refusal of technology (including medical one) left them woefully unprepared to deal with the outbreak

==The Meet==
Chief Serene Dawn, the village's healer and de-facto spiritual leader, contacted the team via matrix host, given his inability to leave physically due to the quarantine. The meet was fast and marked by his desperation: each moment spent in idle chat could result in one more person dying of the horrible disease. The team didn't negotiate, choosing instead to accept the meagre rewards he offered and simply get going as fast as possible

==The Plan==
The ride from Seattle to the Devil's Tower took the better part of 17 hours, so planning and legwork happened in that timespan. Foreman used his medical knowledge to hazard guesses on what the disease could be, and how to prevent it, landing on the realization that they needed a combination of medicines to stop the inflammatory response AND something to stop the actual pathogen, and that "something" needed to be acquired/produced on site, given that he needed precise genetic templating of the virus to make anything usable. In the meantime, partly due to a real good matrix search and some military and government procedures knowledge from the others, the party learned that the quarantine procedure and information suppression campaign around it weren't how the government operates, hinting at some level of systemic corruption by someone with lots of money invested in this.

==The Run==
The first hurdle was simply getting there, but the team had many riggers or people with simply decked out vehicles, so the road trip was easy to mount. A few border crossings (UCAS->SSC, SSC->SN) happened, and if at the Salish-Shidhe the cover story of Black Sabbath being a medic out to perform humanitarian aid with an escort to keep him safe from paracritters held, the Sioux border is much more secure, so the decision was to attempt an illegal crossing by the plains, something the wheelwomen and hackers of the party performed masterfully, managing to avoid detection and not crash.

After a brief rest, the team headed in Belle Fourche, the nearest town proper to the quarantine zone. A place that was poor, run down and all around depressingly reminiscent of flyover state tropes even while not being in the USA.
They had a quick breakfast at a diner, with service being handled by a certain white haired elf lady, and from there they delved in matters more, finding out about the metahuman testing, and consequently, piecing out what was happening. The immediate response was trying to locate MCT sites in the area, and the team learned of a small improvised lab in the town. What happened afterwards was some host diving to dig information on the virus, and consequent research data. Given that Chance/Pecker was running circles around the spiders, they decided that rather then trying to physically break in to use the lab's facilities to try and produce a cure for the weakened VITAS outbreak, the best course of action was granting the medic of the team access to one of the anthrodrones in the structure, produce it remotely, and then ship it outside. Given it was RNA-based interferons, they needed cold storage, but the Star of the Sea luckily had spirits to aid, using their cold inducing powers on a commercial minifridge to reach liquid nitrogen levels of cooling, necessary for mantaining the really frail (physically and chemically) compounds.

Now, during the dive, they also learned of a concerning development: MCT knew that if this outbreak became public knowledge, the PR damage and sanctions would be extremely pricy, so the course of action was to simply wipe the small community off of the map, and cover everything up under the guise of a natural disaster, which are quite common in the area given the roiling nature of the manasphere in the region.

The team made haste, using the excellent Foxtrot wheelwoman skills to break the quarantine perimeter by cutting through the woods with a combat spec'd truck, while being careful enough to not subject the vials to enough stress to break them. Black Sabbath and Star imemdiately started trying to administer the cure, but the cleanup crew was already on site, and getting to work with a great form earth spirit's quake power, trying to use a localized earthquake as an opener against the unarmed and sick shamans. What happened afterwards was a short but brutal gunfight, where the MCT squad of one cyborg and three spirits ultimately got dispatched. Notably, the cyborg got eliminated by the team's decker, by ejecting its CCU. The team decided that rather then killing what was likely only a 2 year old victim, they would hand it over to a contact of theirs, to allow the jarbrain a life away from corporate bondage

==Aftermath==
Thanks to some extremely good medical practice on Foreman's part and the team's fast response, the dead only counted in the dozens. A cyborg made the first steps towards actual personhood. The MCT biotech team was made aware that they have been made, and the cleanup crew definetly got some explaining to do to the higher ups, but ultimately, no evidence of the runners breaking into the database was found, and the data there, even with the study halted by the circumstances, was already good. Perhaps not enough to deliver the cure promised by 2090, but it's a solid based for a new approach based on inducing chimeric immunoglobulin production in the patient, and Black Sabbath has a copy of that data, in case he wishes to pursue this lead independently. Pecker's exploit made the rounds of the matrix again, apparently doing a solo dive in an MCT blacksite from an holy site is considered "kinda cool".

==Rewards==
Deadly TL 20 RVP

6,000 nuyen (3 RVP)
4,000 nuyen (Negotiation)
15 karma (15 RVP)
6 CDP (Base + 2 RVP)

Optional:

==Game Quotes==

{{Gamequote|Amusing quote from game.}}

==Player After Action Reports (AARs)==
[[Brunhilde]] - "Things went fairly smooth, glad we managed to stop a VITAS outbreak."

[[Chance]]- Successful field test for Botsquatch, and the new handle. Hacked an MCT black site... I guess I don't suck at this. Woodie seems to be much more talented than Squatchie ever was. Interesting.

=Character Information=

===Summary===
A survivor from a California Cult Compound that arose after the Twins, Poe found himself on the front lines protecting a vast stretch of the california wilderness by creating a mass grave. Eventually Aztlan would infiltrate the compound and Poe found himself on the wrong side of a pair of blood mages, barely surviving the confrontation with the help of a PCC Federal Patrol that had eyes on the compound for months. Poe was given a pass and a PCC Identity but was recommended to get out of Socal given his history.

Nearly a year later and he has found a home in the Shadows of the Emerald City. Poe works as a detective with the Arcane eye when they get stumped on cases, teaches younger talented Magi how to make it in the streets, and does a brisk trade in smuggling, theft and wetwork for the Shadowhaven network, while trying to stay one step ahead of the corporations and the law and keep his girlfriend in tuna tartare.

===Goals===
* Continue his education with Raven, collecting knowledge on as many things as possible arcane and mundane, while initiating further into arcane mysteries.
* Continue to ingratiate himself to the local awakened community outside of Seattle, working with the Washington Wizards, and a gaggle of former Psions.
* Maintain his lifestyle outside of the shadows, ideally with a permanent purchase of his incredibly convoluted mortgage.
* Make friends with all of the free spirits in Seattle.
* Create a Smuggler network of his own, using his knowledge of David Cartel practices.

==Background==
Eldin Masters was designed to be "Perfect" in a basement lab in Southern California by his overly rich and powerful Horizon exec Mother and extracted former Aztechnology father..
One of who knows how many genetically modified babies in the first generation of Biochildren.The first ten years of his life were practically idyllic, growing up "In" the Fun Town amusement park in Los Angeles. Eldin's parents were always casual dilletantes about the area including the local popularization of cults
in the wake of the Universal Brotherhood scandal. When the great quake of 69' hit Los Angeles, they took the cult quite a
bit more seriously. Even moreso when Eldin awakened shortly after the quake. Eldin moved with his folks into a section
of Angeles National Forest long held as private property by the obscenely rich or incredibly old California families in a bid to escape the corps altogether and live a more practical life.

As the years past the members of the cult dwindled, and Eldin did his best to simply remain on the outskirts, encouraged by his parents to use his abilities to join and eventually *be* the security team that patrolled the borders of the Cult's compound. He learned the majority of his magical practice from a Spirit posing as another adept of a similar mindset out on the boundary to wilderness.
This approach worked better than any of the cult's training had managed to stick. Ultimately this would put Eldin on the bordergrounds of the cult compound when the PCC government raided it after ignoring it for years, on suspicion of Blood Magic infiltrators joining it. In the surrounding chaos Eldin did find himself beset by a few blood spirits and assisting the PCC who informed him after the fact he was in fact, a citizen, in the Annexation of Los Angeles, and allowed him to start a new life for himself.

Eventually Aztlan would infiltrate the compound and Poe found himself on the wrong side of a pair of blood mages, barely surviving the confrontation with the help of a PCC Federal Patrol that had eyes on the compound for months. Poe was given a pass and a PCC Identity but was recommended to get out of Socal given his history.

Nearly a year later and he has found a home in the Shadows of the Emerald City. Poe works as a detective with the Arcane eye when they get stumped on cases, teaches younger talented Magi how to make it in the streets, and does a brisk trade in smuggling, theft and wetwork for the Shadowhaven network, while trying to stay one step ahead of the corporations and the law and keep his girlfriend in tuna tartare.

===Goals===
* Continue his education with Raven, collecting knowledge on as many things as possible arcane and mundane, while initiating further into arcane mysteries.
* Continue to ingratiate himself to the local awakened community outside of Seattle, working with the Washington Wizards, and a gaggle of former Psions.
* Maintain his lifestyle outside of the shadows, ideally with a permanent purchase of his incredibly convoluted mortgage.
* Make friends with all of the free spirits in Seattle.
* Create a Smuggler network of his own, using his knowledge of David Cartel practices.

==Background==
Eldin Masters was designed to be "Perfect" in a basement lab in Southern California by his overly rich and powerful Horizon exec Mother and extracted former Aztechnology father..
One of who knows how many genetically modified babies in the first generation of Biochildren.The first ten years of his life were practically idyllic, growing up "In" the Fun Town amusement park in Los Angeles. Eldin's parents were always casual dilletantes about the area including the local popularization of cults
in the wake of the Universal Brotherhood scandal. When the great quake of 69' hit Los Angeles, they took the cult quite a
bit more seriously. Even moreso when Eldin awakened shortly after the quake. Eldin moved with his folks into a section
of Angeles National Forest long held as private property by the obscenely rich or incredibly old California families in a bid to escape the corps altogether and live a more practical life.

As the years past the members of the cult dwindled, and Eldin did his best to simply remain on the outskirts, encouraged by his parents to use his abilities to join and eventually *be* the security team that patrolled the borders of the Cult's compound. He learned the majority of his magical practice from a Spirit posing as another adept of a similar mindset out on the boundary to wilderness.
This approach worked better than any of the cult's training had managed to stick. Ultimately this would put Eldin on the bordergrounds of the cult compound when the PCC government raided it after ignoring it for years, on suspicion of Blood Magic infiltrators joining it. In the surrounding chaos Eldin did find himself beset by a few blood spirits and assisting the PCC who informed him after the fact he was in fact, a citizen, in the Annexation of Los Angeles, and allowed him to start a new life for himself.

Loosely affiliated and working on potential membership within the David Cartel Western North American Region. 

Active Member: [[Arcane Eye]] -Private Investigator

===Allies===
The Barrens Boys- [[John Galt]], [[Buck]] These three are absolutely madcap when out on the town together. Charlies Angeles meets the Hangover Energy coming to a Run Near You.

[[Sticks]] When Poe first moved to Seattle he took a tough run in the CAS involving Sticks family, and in some ways they clashed on almost every level, magically, stylistically, willingness to deviate from the job for personal business, but by the end they brought the team through hell to come and continue to poke into each other's lives and help out from time to time.

[[Miut]] Poe met Miut when trying to come clean to the Arcane Eye about Koi and create some kind of resolution there. Little did he expect an incredibly pragmatic whirlwind romance that would slowly alter the course of both of their lives. Officially: "His girlfriend"

=Character Information=

===Summary===
Chance was born in North Redmond and thinks that Outremer is a long way from Seattle. He is a brilliant mind that has been largely filled with Barrens garbage and life on the streets. A fairly competent Decker, Chance barely pays attention to how much skill he actually brings to the table in the matrix, preferring to act like the street hooligan he is and refusing to be constrained in nearly any situation.

In recent months chance is only sporadically seen coming and going in Redmond and most of his work has gone digital, largely because after events in [[https://shreloaded.net/wiki/Infinity_Welcomes_Careful_Drivers|Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers]] he has been living at least part time, and sometimes more on Echo Station in Geosynchronous Orbit as space pirate "The Void" and only occasionally shows up in the flesh in Seattle.. When he does, it is rarely as "Chance the Decker" but instead is on a Loco speedball fueled rampage as "The Barrens Spaceman."

After his visit to Australia he is working to keep one foot in both places more frequently and starting to consider the world around him just a little bit more.

===Goals===
Growing up in the Barrens you don't really set goals. You survive, day to day.

It would be nice if he could replace the cyberdeck that he recently lost when questioned by K.E. but otherwise he's just trying to get some jobs and possibly some ware.

It's a big world outside Redmond and the only way chance thinks he'll see it is from the Shadows.

==Background==

"My Mother was a Bunraku and my Father had a credstick." -Chance

This guy grew up in a failing foster system after a sweep and clear of the bunraku parlor he grew up in. The SIN he was awarded fell through the cracks well before he finished school as a "head count" student from North Redmond High. He was smart enough to avoid joining a street gang as of yet, and has been plucked for some shadow work in the meantime. He was always talented in computer lab and has worked as an occasional hacker
, barrens tour guide, or sword for hire since he was a teenager.

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==

===Positive===
Flick Hacker Combo, Speed Reading, Shoot First-Don't Ask, Codeslinger-HOTF, Deck Builder, Drug Tolerant, Impenetrable Logic,
Speed Reading, Trust Data Not Lore, Go big or Go Home, ICU, Analytical Mind, Spacer

===Negative===
Social Stress (If Cops are visible)
Did You Just Call me Dumb?
Force of Chaos
Down the rabbit hole
Reduced Sense (Smell)
Favored (Outspoken, Sasquatch)

==Summary==
Urubia wants a few things from an SK facility in North Carolina, and hires our team to go to pull a mid stakes job on SK Logistics in Charlotte.

==Background==
An SK ambassadorship program is shipping crates of Lowfyr plushies as part of an ambassadorial North American Logistics branch of SK of a trainyard. Patrolled by Centurion Securities. Urubia wants them and invited the gang to the Funhouse via the Secretary of Fun and arranges a meeting with [[Orianna_Cazador|Oriana Cazador]] to commit the robbery with a secondary extraction target (the actual ambassador, Gabriella Roth) on the table. Client recommends a delicate approach and not slugging it out with security. The SK ambassador is bringing the Lowfyr plushies to give out to children and social groups across the UCAS and CAS and is arriving in on a train from Raleigh and Durham.

==The Meet==
Fixers were very clear to the team that they should show up on their best behavior and not act too much like Scrubs. The team arrives on time and relatively well dressed, making their way to a meeting with Orianna relatively easy with Will socially covering Snickerdoodle a bit. Snick buys a handful of Cereprax and K-10 which she doesn't usually see on the street, and some Jazz because why not.
Orianna is quite serious, though not curt or the like. The team makes it through the meeting, with Firewill becoming increasingly excited about the notion of more Loywfyr plushes. Neogtiations go relatively straightforward, not much flex on the offer but a drugs payout is on the table by the end of it.

==The Plan==
The team acquires an SK Rental truck in Seattle, along with an existing Bulldog, and drive a few vehicles through the CAS to Charlotte.

The plan is loosely to gain entrance to the yard by reversing the codes to the delivery van. Find the train and a manifest, loot it, and if possible find and kidnap Ms. Roth and get out as clean as possible.

==The Run==
The team picks up the passcodes to enter the compound, some actioneer jumpsuits to look the part, and a set of fake Burner Sins imported from Seattle while on the road and pick up cheap lodging along the way. The road trip itself is incredibly pleasant with the team getting very lucky outside of bribing the standard checkpoints, with contacts providing routes almost the entire way.

Pulling up to the compound, will throws together a fake work order as Hawkins stalls the guard and the two of them get the vehicles through the gate with Snickerdoodle hiding in the metahuman smuggling compartment in one of the trucks on the process. Hawkin's fly spy with a little help from Snickerdoodle finds the train they are looking for and Hawkins and WIll make a fast move to the train, finding some direct connection points and getting the equipment manifest directly from it, rather than taking a run at a difficult host.

Once the traincar is found, WIll and Hawkins force the train door open, damaging the pinset to keep it close and potentially damaging the train worse by proxy. A security detail cruises past and a well placed use of the accident spirit power blows their tire out at the far point of their route. The team finds the crates and Hawkins and Snick load up as much as they possibly can into the vans. Pausing to open the crate to steal a handful of extra plushies, and realizing the ambassador was in residence quarters.

Once the crates are a lock, Will creates a gasoline bomb rig in the storage compartment and Snick sneaks across compound to get into position for an extraction. The team in trucks sends a picture of one of the plushies up to the ambassador with a "Come out front of the Dragon Gets it" picture, and squelches her call to security. As soon as she steps outside, a hidden in the bushes snickerdoodle pounces and knocks the target out quickly with a punch spell. Throwing her over a shoulder and booking out when the bomb goes off.

On the route back, keeping eyes on her health, Snick realizes she's a drake and shares this with the team. They pause in memphis to get a pacifier chip for the target and get her back to Seattle safely. Meeting Urubia herself and taking rides on her as part of the run reward. Seemingly not realizing the extraction was the core part of the job, not the toy theft.

==Aftermath==
Narrative Consequences:
-The Lofwyr plushies are successfully stolen, to be re-purposed into Crimson Queen plushies for Urubia's brainwashing community outreach efforts.
-Gabriella Roth is successfully kidnapped and "offered accommodations" at the Funhouse; S-K manages to eventually track her location, but is unable to attribute the job to the runners thanks to their ample discretion.

==Rewards==
EWARDS for "The Real Thing Don't Do the Trick":
32,000 nuyen (16 RVP)
0 karma
2 CDP
1 Lofwyr and 1 Crimson Queen plushie
+2 Streets of Redmond reputation
