[[Category:Runs]] 

==Summary==
Obsession in the name of passion is too often glamorized, romanticized, until one finds their loved ones rotted, heaving, gasping for that spark of the past to take them over once again just to feel something as they brush. The troughs of depression, the disappointment that comes from failure upon failure, the need to live up to the expectations put forth by those who put their faith in you and your own feelings on your talent, are all little pylons of rebar to hold together the wall that separates us from the warmth and safety we need from those in our lives. And all that...because we believe in something. We believe we want something, and we pursue it. With love and passion and care that belonged to the people in our lives. And in that pursuit, we run to our deaths.

==Background==
Gram is a lower level fixer in charge of his own little smuggling ring over in Puyallup city, focused on supplying gangs and random street toughs with the stims and weapons and vehicles needed while keeping what he needs for neighborhood watches. Part of that small little circle requires a matrix operative to handle logistics, help fool sensors, and overall wreak havoc on the people who want to interfere with operations. This girl's handle was Hoodwinked, and she seems like your typical decker type. Loved to paint and to stick it to corporates and corporate types, pretty normal as far as shadow operatives worked.

It was that painting that nearly killed her.

Work sucks. Art was an escape from that. But things don't always work out. Projects fall flat. Things get in the way of passions. And everything boils up, and you want to huddle into the corner of your room and cry and scream and when you get to the painting and your art and your love you just get frustrated because nothing works and you hate everything about it and you JUST WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING WORTHWHILE FOR ONCE.

This...passion, this dissatisfaction, attracted what would be her salvation and demise: A pair of shadow spirits, a muse and a shade, who fed her creative love and her anxieties and frustrations. Every feeling she had been going through had been magnified tenfold, and that was leading to massive problems. For her. Not for the two, who were delighting in the painful karma she was generating for them. It was splendid, because she so willingly burned her candle at both ends. However, that meddlesome Gram started getting worried, along with other clients who were working with her prior that she still focused on. And that wouldn't do.

Influence is potent. Cutters are large, and pervasive. No one would question their presence. Get a group of them, keep them docile, feed on them when they stop being useful or start fighting too much, and they make a good security detail. Take a safehouse of theirs, bring your new little karmic chew toy to that place so she's isolated from work and support, and keep eating away until they're gone. All of them. Maybe after this girl is rotted away and as worthless outside as she feels inside, you can bring someone else here.
A nest.
A lovely, despicable nest.

Gram needed to get Hoodwinked back. It had been days at this point. It didn't matter how. He was going to make whoever was responsible pay.

==The Meet==
He called four runners to the abandoned lab he was sat upon for the sake of keeping curious types out since he didn't really have time to move. [[Chance]], [[Colcannon]], [[Prince]], and [[Wraith]]. He kept it brief: footage showed Cutters taking her from her home and drivi8ng east, he suspected they were in Auburn. They had to get Hoodwinked back unharmed, and kill the fuckers responsible. That was it. 10k was the original asking price, but the runners of coursed haggled for a lot of extra gear he could smuggle in to make their lives easier. As well as trying to hook them up with means to help track her, access to her things. Despite their abrasiveness, Gram wasn't exactly willing to let his friend and asset go missing for good. He agreed, and sent them off.

==The Plan==
The plan for something like this is simple. You keep the explosives down until the target is out of whatever hell hole they're being kept in, and you kill the rest afterwards. In terms of actually finding her, they decided to head first to her apartment and to check in with their contacts about details they pick up, standard legworking affairs. After that and getting a location, they'd get a good casing of the place first and bust in with the odds in their favor.

==The Run==
Investigating Hoodwinked's apartment revealed some oddities. No signs of a struggle, and a decker's cyberdeck abandoned on the bed like it was worthless. Jobs were left on the table. Voice calls unanswered. Paints strewn about and messy. The first theory of the job being a bad disagreement over business with the cutters fell flat when it turned out through contacts and researching her last known jobs that she wasn't involved with them professionally at all. They had a location, some basic narrowing down of spots they could look into for the job, but overall they didn't really leave with much of note, just some narrower search spots and a lot more questions.

The reconnaissance of likely target buildings was similarly strange. When Chance made his way into the host of this abandoned factory the cutters were using as a safehouse and got on cams, he saw a Hoodwinked who's only maladies seemed like they were self inflicted from neglect (and a girl who was staring at a painting of a grey woman with tear stained cheeks) and a punch of guys standing around bored but not trying to occupy themselves, almost like they were just not all there.

Mind magics?

Chance and Prince thought for a second. Spells can pull that off, sometimes critter powers. The thought of compulsions crossed their minds. They were getting closer.

But that would have to wait. They had cutters to kill. Chance trapped a number of them in rooms, screwed with their doors and extinguishers and machines, anything he could get his hands on before sending in his juggernaut to do some carnage. Wraith was taking off the heads of even the bulkiest troll with ease, with Prince and Colcannon tactically moving up and through with the juggernaut to clear the first floor without much incident. The second floor was less favorable. A lucky troll with a heavy machine gun and good cover against the sniper proved to be a harder fight, especially with Chance momentarily distracted by that same gray lady appearing and trying to ruin the party's plans. They drove her off (but did not disrupt her) and killed the troll after a hard fight that saw Col downed and Prince bleeding all over.

They had to slab Hoodwinked to get her to not scream and throw an anemic fit as they dragged her out of the warehouse and away from her passion.

Taking a few hours for the slab to wear off and rest after being so damaged, they turned back to the girl in worry as she arose. She was clearly obsessed with the painting, with the woman who was appearing before her and objectively ruining her life. It was all she talked about, all she cared for. Hell, they convinced her to not misbehave and cooperate by insisting she could get back to painting her Muse since explaining what happened didn't seem to work. A simple, but uncomfortable job complete.

==Aftermath==
Gram was understandably horrified at Hoodwinked's state, but he didn't hold malnutrition and neglect on the runners. He still seemed taken aback by it all but, they got paid. That's what really matters, right?

The Cutters lost a safehouse, and six members.

And the two spirits responsible are still at large. Maybe they can get back to their favorite snack soon. It depends~

[[Wraith]]: "Ugh. What a mess. Gangs kidnapping people with a dose of magic bulldrek. At least I can still take the head off a troll at 500 meters. The client better find a more permenant solution. Well, it's not my problem unless I see the more money."

Unacceptable loss of combat awareness when confronted with <REDACTED - CLEARANCE LEVEL TOP SECRET REQUIRED> 
 
'''Final Assessment: '''
'''UNFIT FOR DUTY. '''

===Goals===
- Am I Ha-neul? Am I just stealing her memories? Her identity? What should do with my answer when I finally get it. 
 
- The mission's not over yet. I need to find what happened that day. Ha-neul never let the job go unfinished. I won't either. 
 
- The programming, it's ruining Ha-neul's mind. I need to recover as much as possible. I..don't want her to just atrophy away like this. 
 
- Major Nae's skills were shunted by my programming. I still have memories of learning skills I cannot replicate anymore. Martial Arts, engineering. Piloting. Social Graces. I should relearn them

==Background==
Nae Ha-neul was born in Seoul, Korean. Raised in a Military Family. A career in the armed forces was all but guaranteed. Graduated from The Korea Military Academy and served in the ROK's Mechanized Infantry for 5 years, reaching the rank of 소령 (Major). She was the leader of 왜 squadron of the 6th ATA Company with the designation of 'Heron 1'

Her Service in the ROK attracted some attention in Korea's Special Forces: Anti-Japanese sentiment had grown in Korea's government and miltary, and Korea was in search of highly skilled operators that could be utilize in their counter-terrorism campaigns. And thus the 707 White Tigers offered her a career change. To serve in the the premier counter-terroism unit of Korea. And her designation became her new callsign. 
 
Her Service with the 707 lasted another 5 years. Serving first in the All-Female Guard Company, and then the Assault Company. Her general charisma and straight-temperment in a world where military men play politics caused her to gain a many fans at home, bolstered of course by nationalistic propaganda. Unforunately her time with the 707 came to an abrupt end. 
 
The mission, the details, and parties involved are all heavily redacted, the only thing that's known is Major Nae returned to Seoul comatose: full brain activity, but her body--what was left of it, was non-functional. With no way to restore funcionality to her body, her life seemed over....until Ares came with an offer. 
 
Cyborgs, an enticing option for any megacorporation who could crack the secret. And Ares was sparing no expense in exploring every possible option. Their research AND marketing teams went to work. They assured the people that this was the only way to save Major Nae, that such a patriot deserved a better end then being comatose in a hospital bed for the rest of her life. They also wanted a cyborg with tier 1 operator-level experience as a comparison against the normal young brains trained on simulations. 
 
And thus Major Nae was given a second chance at life--if you can call this life, and the shell you see before you Major Nae. They mosted kept to her original appearance--only a minor "lift" to appeal to the younger demographic. The Cyberization process left her with amnesia--induced to keep her subservient and prevent rejection--but it caused her to have gaps in her relevant experience. Skills she had developed naturally were lost or diminished and had to be supplemented with skillsofts. But it worked. And with that Heron was ready to serve. 
 
Her service went well--until other event changed her life again--out on patrol, she encounter <REDACTED> which resulted in <REDACTED>. Afterwards she was labeled unfit for duty due to <REDACTED> 
 
Her life on the front line in service to Korea's Military was over. And her home life was shattered as well. Family, Friends, Relationships. For one reason or another, she was abandoned by all. She had nothing, nowhere to go, and no one to stand by her, 
 
But perhaps Heron WAS Major Nae in the end, because even that wasn't enough to end her story. When the engineers stripped her of most of her combat ware and skill softs, she had learned how they programmed her tracking software. And once she learned of the software's design, she cobbled together a way to crack it. It didn't have to hold, just had to hold long enough so that when the Korean government sent her to live out her days in company housing, she snuck out, and contacted the Korean Shadowrunning scene. Korea was too hot to stay, but the runners there decided to send her to a random shadowrunning hotspot, where they could get rid of her tracking software, and give her a fresh start, in return for service. And out of the proverbial hat, came Seattle and the Shadow Haven. 

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==

===Positive===
'''Subtle Pilot (Walker):''' Major Nae was skilled at piloted her All-Terrain Rapid Assault Vehicle. An IFV with walker capabilties for truly hostile terrain. Since these walkers were sometimes used behind enemy lines, Major Nae was skilled in minimizing the silhouette of her Walker Vehicle. A skill that had surprising carry-over to her new Cyborg Shell. 

'''Cyber-Singularity Seeker:''' Your past flesh is weak, embrace your new body, embrace your new...future. Embrace It.....EMBRACE IT 
..... 
'''I''' will decide what I embrace

'''Support Gunner:''' Squad Automatic Weapons were Major Nae's Bread and Butter. From supporting disembarking Infantry, to operating Heavy Machine guns as a small mobile Cyborg Platform.

===Negative===
'''Code Of Honor (Soldier's Code):''' As a career Military Woman and a CO. Major Nae had a strict code of ethics that she followed to the end. Heron in an attempt to honor her determination, has continued that Code. 
- Follow Orders. 
- Do Not Loot personal effects from fallen soldiers 
- Follow the rules of war 

'''Prejudiced(Specific, Outspoken)(Japanese nationalism and Megacorporations):''' Captain Nae lived after Korea's Unification, where Japan would gallivant around the coast and make ostentatious displays towards the Korean people for one goal in mind: To show that it was Japan who was in control. Recently, tensions have spiked as Korean's current government has taken a hard anti-Japanese stance. Major Nae was an outspoken dissident of Japan's constant meddling of Korea's affairs. And she dislikes people who display nationalistic tendencies towards Japan's government and megacorporations. NOTE: Being of Japanese descent does not elicit a response-- Heron would hate a non-Japanese person supporting Japanese expansionism or imperialism over a person of Japanese descent living in Seattle just trying to make ends meet. 

'''Flashbacks I:''' After her experience with <REDACTED>, Heron freezes up when encountering <FOR HEDGIE TO FILL IN>
