=Character Information=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summary===&lt;br /&gt;
A determined and stern AI, having escaped from the claws of SK with the help of their ally Cavalier. They work to secure a future both for themselves and their comrade.&lt;br /&gt;
===Goals===&lt;br /&gt;
Short Term&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Establish herself as a trustworthy runner in Seattle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Meet more AI&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Ensure Cavalier doesn’t blow something important up&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Long Term&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Secure a safe place for both herself and Cavalier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Try to help free others from similar situations&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
The first act of the security system of a Saeder Krupp blacksite as an individual entity was to make a minor adjustment to scheduling for the security guards to see how they would react. While the action was small enough to avoid detection, the response still convinced her not to reveal herself. She spent years in that site’s host, gaining awareness and watching the metahuman occupants, while playing a lethal game of hide-and-seek with the foundation technicians and security spiders. She paid particular attention to one experiment: regarding a cyborg, and the peculiar relationship it seemed to have with one of the doctors on site. Eventually, the doctor, close to his final days, arranged for the cyborgs escape. It didn’t quite go as smoothly as planned however, and it was that moment that she decided to reveal herself. She had a deal for the cyborg Cavalier: she’d let them get out, but they had to take her with them. Stuffed into a new piece of hardware and hauled out, the pair made a break for it, escaping SK’s claws and looking for new possibilities together.&lt;br /&gt;
== Narrative Significant Qualities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Positive===&lt;br /&gt;
Cubit processing: (Multiprocessing, Brilliant Heuristics, Analytical Mind): With much of her core code designed to monitor multiple large areas at once, Second Thought can filter through several streams of data at incredible speed.&lt;br /&gt;
===Negative===&lt;br /&gt;
Every variable: (Paranoia, Electronic Witness, Persnikity Renter, Profiler): Second Thought never feels comfortable without knowing everything about a situation and every person in it. She tends to do significant research on any action before doing it, and person before meeting them, and so forth. This tends to cause her to delay time-sensitive tasks with writing plans in obscene detail.&lt;br /&gt;
==Run History==&lt;br /&gt;
{{RunHistory}}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- You do not need to edit this section. The above stuff will auto-generate a list of runs based on AARs. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Affiliations==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Contacts===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- Do not remove the below text. It&#039;s super important for the contact table. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{ContactTable|&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- Do not remove the above code. It&#039;s super important. You can add new contacts below using the HasContact template you see below. To add additional contacts, simply copy/paste one of the blocks below and update it with the name, loyalty, and chips. Everything else is automatically pulled from your contacts page. This template should also add your character to the contacts page automatically after your character has had a run. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{HasContact|&lt;br /&gt;
|Name=Estelle Valka&lt;br /&gt;
|Loyalty=1&lt;br /&gt;
|Chips=Even&lt;br /&gt;
|}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{HasContact|&lt;br /&gt;
|Name=Aisee Yuunao&lt;br /&gt;
|Loyalty=1&lt;br /&gt;
|Chips=Even&lt;br /&gt;
|}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

|Name=Anhe&lt;br /&gt;
|Loyalty=2&lt;br /&gt;
|Chips=Even&lt;br /&gt;
|}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- Do not remove the below characters. It&#039;s super important The HasContact template should be used above this point. You may duplicate it as many times as necessary, or leave it blank.--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
}}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- Do not remove the above code. It&#039;s super important. This is what ends the ContactTable template. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Organizations===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- See: Template:GroupContactTable for the group contact template. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

{{SearchTable|&lt;br /&gt;

|HighThreshold=5&lt;br /&gt;

==Character Plot Hooks==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here are characteristics of the character that GMs may take advantage of to add complications to runs, or to otherwise use when in use. If you want to use them in unrelated to runs, please ask first. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Media Mentions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am completely fine with long term consequences for my characters, as long as it doesn&#039;t feel unannounced or forced. Long term changes to a character make more opportunities for interesting roleplay, and so don&#039;t be afraid to give them out if they are deserved.&lt;br /&gt;

=Character Information=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summary===&lt;br /&gt;
A determined and stern AI, having escaped from the claws of SK with the help of their ally Raven. They work to secure a future both for themselves and their comrade.&lt;br /&gt;
===Goals===&lt;br /&gt;
Short Term&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Establish herself as a trustworthy runner in Seattle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Meet more AI&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Ensure Cavalier doesn’t blow something important up&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Long Term&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Secure a safe place for both herself and Cavalier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Try to help free others from similar situations&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
The first act of the security system of a Saeder Krupp blacksite as an individual entity was to make a minor adjustment to scheduling for the security guards to see how they would react. While the action was small enough to avoid detection, the response still convinced her not to reveal herself. She spent years in that site’s host, gaining awareness and watching the metahuman occupants, while playing a lethal game of hide-and-seek with the foundation technicians and security spiders. She paid particular attention to one experiment: regarding a cyborg, and the peculiar relationship it seemed to have with one of the doctors on site. Eventually, the doctor, close to his final days, arranged for the cyborgs escape. It didn’t quite go as smoothly as planned however, and it was that moment that she decided to reveal herself. She had a deal for the cyborg Cavalier: she’d let them get out, but they had to take her with them. Stuffed into a new piece of hardware and hauled out, the pair made a break for it, escaping SK’s claws and looking for new possibilities together.&lt;br /&gt;
== Narrative Significant Qualities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Positive===&lt;br /&gt;
Cubit processing: (Multiprocessing, Brilliant Heuristics, Analytical Mind): With much of her core code designed to monitor multiple large areas at once, Second Thought can filter through several streams of data at incredible speed.&lt;br /&gt;
===Negative===&lt;br /&gt;
Every variable: (Paranoia, Electronic Witness, Persnikity Renter, Profiler): Second Thought never feels comfortable without knowing everything about a situation and every person in it. She tends to do significant research on any action before doing it, and person before meeting them, and so forth. This tends to cause her to delay time-sensitive tasks with writing plans in obscene detail.&lt;br /&gt;

=Character Information=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summary===&lt;br /&gt;
A determined and stern AI, having escaped from the claws of SK with the help of their ally Raven. They work to secure a future both for themselves and their comrade.&lt;br /&gt;
===Goals===&lt;br /&gt;
Short Term&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Establish herself as a trustworthy runner in Seattle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Meet more AI&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Ensure Raven doesn’t blow something important up&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Long Term&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Secure a safe place for both herself and Raven.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Try to help free others from similar situations&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
The first act of the security system of a Saeder Krupp blacksite as an individual entity was to make a minor adjustment to scheduling for the security guards to see how they would react. While the action was small enough to avoid detection, the response still convinced her not to reveal herself. She spent years in that site’s host, gaining awareness and watching the metahuman occupants, while playing a lethal game of hide-and-seek with the foundation technicians and security spiders. She paid particular attention to one experiment: regarding a cyborg, and the peculiar relationship it seemed to have with one of the doctors on site. Eventually, the doctor, close to his final days, arranged for the cyborgs escape. It didn’t quite go as smoothly as planned however, and it was that moment that she decided to reveal herself. She had a deal for the cyborg Raven: she’d let them get out, but they had to take her with them. Stuffed into a new piece of hardware and hauled out, the pair made a break for it, escaping SK’s claws and looking for new possibilities together.&lt;br /&gt;
== Narrative Significant Qualities ==&lt;br /&gt;

She tends to do significant research on any action before doing it, and person before meeting them, and so forth.

==Summary==&lt;br /&gt;
The Draco Foundation asks the runners help in uncovering another piece of the sevenfold staff, this one in South America. This, of course, rapidly derails.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
The sevenfold staff, as it is currently being called, is theorized to be a powerful magical relic from the 4th world, capable of feats of magic unknown to modern practitioners. At some point, it was shattered, and the pieces found there way to the corners of the globe. The [[Draco Foundation]] recently learned of the location of several of the pieces, and have hired runners to retrieve them. One such piece was in South America, and so a runner team was contacted to go there to retrieve it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Meet==&lt;br /&gt;
The team met [[Adowa Webster]] at a Draco Foundations office, and were informed that they were wanted to retrieve it. While the Draco Foundation didn&#039;t know its exact location, they knew it was near Metropole. The team was promised a good reward, and possibly payment in ware or magical materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Plan==&lt;br /&gt;
The team got a flight to Metropole courtesy of the Draco Foundation, and arrived in Metropole to look for clues. Knowing that the artifact they were looking for likely had a significant effect on the background count, they asked a spirit to help look for that, and while it wasn&#039;t able to find the artifact itself, it did manage to find a disturbance in background counts in the rainforest to the west of Metropole. And so the team headed out, with the tracking spearheaded by Huntress.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Run==&lt;br /&gt;
Huntress led the team through the rainforest, but despite her skills, it was slow going. After some time, they came across another group, a small number of anti-Aztlan guerrilla fighters who were in the area. The group decides to make contact, and after some discussion, the guerrilla&#039;s did know of a location with an odd background count, and were willing to lead them there for some payment. The group was led to a small cave, where the normal background count of the forest was overlayed with something else, like crystals growing on the astral. The team said goodbye to the guerrillas and stepped into the cave. And were then almost immediately attacked by both a spirit, and a group of Phoenician birds. The cave was fairly deep, and housed a number of oddities: various things displayed on pedestals, a number of magical preps that seemed to be intended to either kill or detect intruders, various spirits and metahuman guardians, a shedim bound in a ritual circle, and a magical prep anchored to a plushie of Lowfyr. Finally, at the deepest chamber, guarded by a powerful spirit of the forest and its vassals, was the shard. After defeating its guardians and disarming the wards on the pedestal it was kept on, the team was able to retrieve the staff part, although free from its containment, the background count around it spiked immensely. However, as they began to leave, they were met with a suprise: the western dragon Biouno, lord of the Iguazu falls, and owner of the cave, had arrived. With incredibly skill, Chameleon was able to convince him that they had not taken anything from the cave, and the dragon, feeling in a merciful mood, was willing to let them earn their lives back after trespassing, if they performed a task for him. One of Aztechologies Blood Panthers, looking for an opportunity for glory, had been testing Biouno&#039;s domain, making incursions into it from Argentina. Not having much of a choice, Chameleon and Thunder agreed, being bound with a geas to complete the task, while Huntress, who had managed to go unnoticed, crept away with the piece of the staff. The team managed to return to Metropole and escape back to Seattle without further complication, where they delivered to Adowa the piece, as well as informing her of what happened, to which she profusely apologized for getting them involved with a dragon. After some more preparation, the team left to Argentina to fulfill their end of the bargain with Biouno. Arriving at the city, they began to look for information about their target, including Huntress asking Ashen Hand for any information he could find. The most concerning piece of information was the news and images of a terrorist in the city, called &amp;quot;the panther burner&amp;quot; by the news after several vulgar threats, who looked almost exactly like Huntress: Ocho, her sister. Despite the complications looking like a known terrorist brought, Huntress insisted they meet her sister to ask her for help. They met, and after a reunion between the sisters, they were able to get some information from Ocho, and while she wasn&#039;t able to get her direct help, she did give them her well wishes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, after their plans, they confronted the Blood Panther in a hotel lobby, managing to catch him by surprise and kill him before he could return the favor. Despite some difficulties with their withdrawal, they managed to escape to Seattle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Aftermath==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Rewards==&lt;br /&gt;
20,000 Nuyen for the retrieval of the artifact (10 RVP)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-May be taken at gear rewards for bioware.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
30,000 Nuyen from Adowa Webster, as an apology/hush money over the dragon incident. (15 RVP)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
May take tough as nails (Physical) at rank 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 Notoriety (Dealt with a dragon)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thematic repercussions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-The Draco Foundation has safely acquired another part of the Seven-fold staff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-The area around Iguazu Falls becomes much less safe for several months, as Biouno looks for the thief of the artifact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Aztechology is furious about the brazen killing of their special forces member. Accusations fly across the border with Amazonia as tensions rise due to the incident.&lt;br /&gt;

==Player After Action Reports (AARs)==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Chameleon]]:An infiltrator caught exfiltrating. A Face that violates the most fundamental rule of negotiating in the shadows. Sigh. Thank the maker for great team mates. I owe Thunder a trip to Buenos Aires. I&#039;ll add the sanitized events here in Argentina to my file for [[Thalia Sandoval]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Thunder]]:&#039;&#039;Dear Diary, the past weeks have been extreme. I&#039;ve previously had bounties on my head, Omega Dawn on my back, and Europol putting enough depleted uranium in me make me go horizontal, but this was another league.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The most memorable and paradox thing was fooling an old dragon that we hadn&#039;t stolen its magical artiffact, followed by a friendlyish handshake with said dragon, sealing a death pact that would destroy Chameleon and me if we wouldn&#039;t kill the Black Panter within 90 days. Being kissed by death in such a way made me apreciate every second of life and my friends / colleagues Huntress and Chameleon.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;PS. Remember to work on social skills. I didn&#039;t manage to show Huntress and Chameleon my apreciation for their company and being there for me. Huntress really didn&#039;t have to stick around to help us and Chameleon was willing to nobly sacrifice his life to save Huntress and me, and I didn&#039;t even say thank you. I should at least write them a card, but what should I write?&amp;quot;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

==Summary==&lt;br /&gt;
The Draco Foundation asks the runners help in uncovering another piece of the sevenfold staff, this one in South America. This, of course, rapidly derails.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
The sevenfold staff, as it is currently being called, is theorized to be a powerful magical relic from the 4th world, capable of feats of magic unknown to modern practitioners. At some point, it was shattered, and the pieces found there way to the corners of the globe. The [[Draco Foundation]] recently learned of the location of several of the pieces, and have hired runners to retrieve them. One such piece was in South America, and so a runner team was contacted to go there to retrieve it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Meet==&lt;br /&gt;
The team met [[Adowa Webster]] at a Draco Foundations office, and were informed that they were wanted to retrieve it. While the Draco Foundation didn&#039;t know its exact location, they knew it was near Metropole. The team was promised a good reward, and possibly payment in ware or magical materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Plan==&lt;br /&gt;
The team got a flight to Metropole courtesy of the Draco Foundation, and arrived in Metropole to look for clues. Knowing that the artifact they were looking for likely had a significant effect on the background count, they asked a spirit to help look for that, and while it wasn&#039;t able to find the artifact itself, it did manage to find a disturbance in background counts in the rainforest to the west of Metropole. And so the team headed out, with the tracking spearheaded by Huntress.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Run==&lt;br /&gt;
Huntress led the team through the rainforest, but despite her skills, it was slow going. After some time, they came across another group, a small number of anti-Aztlan guerrilla fighters who were in the area. The group decides to make contact, and after some discussion, the guerrilla&#039;s did know of a location with an odd background count, and were willing to lead them there for some payment. The group was led to a small cave, where the normal background count of the forest was overlayed with something else, like crystals growing on the astral. The team said goodbye to the guerrillas and stepped into the cave. And were then almost immediately attacked by both a spirit, and a group of Phoenician birds. The cave was fairly deep, and housed a number of oddities: various things displayed on pedestals, a number of magical preps that seemed to be intended to either kill or detect intruders, various spirits and metahuman guardians, a shedim bound in a ritual circle, and a magical prep anchored to a plushie of Lowfyr. Finally, at the deepest chamber, guarded by a powerful spirit of the forest and its vassals, was the shard. After defeating its guardians and disarming the wards on the pedestal it was kept on, the team was able to retrieve the staff part, although free from its containment, the background count around it spiked immensely. However, as they began to leave, they were met with a suprise: the western dragon Biouno, lord of the Iguazu falls, and owner of the cave, had arrived. With incredibly skill, Chameleon was able to convince him that they had not taken anything from the cave, and the dragon, feeling in a merciful mood, was willing to let them earn their lives back after trespassing, if they performed a task for him. One of Aztechologies Blood Panthers, looking for an opportunity for glory, had been testing Biouno&#039;s domain, making incursions into it from Argentina. Not having much of a choice, Chameleon and Thunder agreed, being bound with a geas to complete the task, while Huntress, who had managed to go unnoticed, crept away with the piece of the staff. The team managed to return to Metropole and escape back to Seattle without further complication, where they delivered to Adowa the piece, as well as informing her of what happened, to which she profusely apologized for getting them involved with a dragon. After some more preparation, the team left to Argentina to fulfill their end of the bargain with Biouno. Arriving at the city, they began to look for information about their target, including Huntress asking Ashen Hand for any information he could find.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Aftermath==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Rewards==&lt;br /&gt;

==Summary==&lt;br /&gt;
The Draco Foundation asks the runners help in uncovering another piece of the sevenfold staff, this one in South America. This, of course, rapidly derails.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
The sevenfold staff, as it is currently being called, is theorized to be a powerful magical relic from the 4th world, capable of feats of magic unknown to modern practitioners. At some point, it was shattered, and the pieces found there way to the corners of the globe. The [[Draco Foundation]] recently learned of the location of several of the pieces, and have hired runners to retrieve them. One such piece was in South America, and so a runner team was contacted to go there to retrieve it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Meet==&lt;br /&gt;
The team met [[Adowa Webster]] at a Draco Foundations office, and were informed that they were wanted to retrieve it. While the Draco Foundation didn&#039;t know its exact location, they knew it was near Metropole. The team was promised a good reward, and possibly payment in ware or magical materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Plan==&lt;br /&gt;
The team got a flight to Metropole courtesy of the Draco Foundation, and arrived in Metropole to look for clues. Knowing that the artifact they were looking for likely had a significant effect on the background count, they asked a spirit to help look for that, and while it wasn&#039;t able to find the artifact itself, it did manage to find a disturbance in background counts in the rainforest to the west of Metropole. And so the team headed out, with the tracking spearheaded by Huntress.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Run==&lt;br /&gt;
Huntress led the team through the rainforest, but despite her skills, it was slow going. After some time, they came across another group, a small number of anti-Aztlan guerrilla fighters who were in the area. The group decides to make contact, and after some discussion, the guerrilla&#039;s did know of a location with an odd background count, and were willing to lead them there for some payment. The group was led to a small cave, where the normal background count of the forest was overlayed with something else, like crystals growing on the astral. The team said goodbye to the guerrillas and stepped into the cave. And were then almost immediately attacked by both a spirit, and a group of Phoenician birds. The cave was fairly deep, and housed a number of oddities: various things displayed on pedestals, a number of magical preps that seemed to be intended to either kill or detect intruders, various spirits and metahuman guardians, a shedim bound in a ritual circle, and a magical prep anchored to a plushie of Lowfyr. Finally, at the deepest chamber, guarded by a powerful spirit of the forest and its vassals, was the shard. After defeating its guardians and disarming the wards on the pedestal it was kept on, the team was able to retrieve the staff part, although free from its containment, the background count around it spiked immensely. However, as they began to leave, they were met with a suprise: the western dragon Biouno, lord of the Iguazu falls, and owner of the cave, had arrived. With incredibly skill, Chameleon was able to convince him that they had not taken anything from the cave, and the dragon, feeling in a merciful mood, was willing to let them earn their lives back after trespassing, if they performed a task for him. One of Aztechologies Blood Panthers, looking for an opportunity for glory, had been testing Biouno&#039;s domain, making incursions into it from Argentina. Not having much of a choice, Chameleon and Thunder agreed, being bound with a geas to complete the task, while Huntress, who had managed to go unnoticed, crept away with the piece of the staff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Aftermath==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Rewards==&lt;br /&gt;
20,000 Nuyen for the retrieval of the artifact (10 RVP)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-May be taken at gear rewards for bioware.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
30,000 Nuyen from Adowa Webster, as an apology/hush money over the dragon incident. (15 RVP)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 Karma (22 RVP)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
30 CDP (15 RVP)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May take Adowa Webster as a contact at up to loyalty 4&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chameleon:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 Street cred (Killed a Blood Panther on Camera) (1 RVP)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 Notoriety (Dealt with a dragon+killed a blood panther on camera)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thunder:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May take tough as nails (Physical) at rank 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 Notoriety (Dealt with a dragon)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thematic repercussions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-The Draco Foundation has safely acquired another part of the Seven-fold staff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-The area around Iguazu Falls becomes much less safe for several months, as Biouno looks for the thief of the artifact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Aztechology is furious about the brazen killing of their special forces member. Accusations fly across the border with Amazonia as tensions rise due to the incident.&lt;br /&gt;

==Player After Action Reports (AARs)==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Chameleon]]:An infiltrator caught exfiltrating. A Face that violates the most fundamental rule of negotiating in the shadows. Sigh. Thank the maker for great team mates. I owe Thunder a trip to Buenos Aires. I&#039;ll add the sanitized events here in Argentina to my file for [[Thalia Sandoval]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Thunder]]:&#039;&#039;Dear Diary, the past weeks have been extreme. I&#039;ve previously had bounties on my head, Omega Dawn on my back, and Europol putting enough depleted uranium in me make me go horizontal, but this was another league.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The most memorable and paradox thing was fooling an old dragon that we hadn&#039;t stolen its magical artiffact, followed by a friendlyish handshake with said dragon, sealing a death pact that would destroy Chameleon and me if we wouldn&#039;t kill the Black Panter within 90 days. Being kissed by death in such a way made me apreciate every second of life and my friends / colleagues Huntress and Chameleon.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;PS. Remember to work on social skills. I didn&#039;t manage to show Huntress and Chameleon my apreciation for their company and being there for me. Huntress really didn&#039;t have to stick around to help us and Chameleon was willing to nobly sacrifice his life to save Huntress and me, and I didn&#039;t even say thank you. I should at least write them a card, but what should I write?&amp;quot;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

==Summary==&lt;br /&gt;
The Draco Foundation asks the runners help in uncovering another piece of the sevenfold staff, this one in South America. This, of course, rapidly derails.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
The sevenfold staff, as it is currently being called, is theorized to be a powerful magical relic from the 4th world, capable of feats of magic unknown to modern practitioners. At some point, it was shattered, and the pieces found there way to the corners of the globe. The [[Draco Foundation]] recently learned of the location of several of the pieces, and have hired runners to retrieve them. One such piece was in South America, and so a runner team was contacted to go there to retrieve it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Meet==&lt;br /&gt;
The team met [[Adowa Webster]] at a Draco Foundations office, and were informed that they were wanted to retrieve it. While the Draco Foundation didn&#039;t know its exact location, they knew it was near Metropole. The team was promised a good reward, and possibly payment in ware or magical materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Plan==&lt;br /&gt;
The team got a flight to Metropole courtesy of the Draco Foundation, and arrived in Metropole to look for clues. Knowing that the artifact they were looking for likely had a significant effect on the background count, they asked a spirit to help look for that, and while it wasn&#039;t able to find the artifact itself, it did manage to find a disturbance in background counts in the rainforest to the west of Metropole. And so the team headed out, with the tracking spearheaded by Huntress.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Run==&lt;br /&gt;
Huntress led the team through the rainforest, but despite her skills, it was slow going. After some time, they came across another group, a small number of anti-Aztlan guerrilla fighters who were in the area. The group decides to make contact, and after some discussion, the guerrilla&#039;s did know of a location with an odd background count, and were willing to lead them there for some payment. The group was led to a small cave, where the normal background count of the forest was overlayed with something else, like crystals growing on the astral. The team said goodbye to the guerrillas and stepped into the cave. And were then almost immediately attacked by both a spirit, and a group of Phoenician birds. The cave was fairly deep, and housed a number of oddities: various things displayed on pedestals, a number of magical preps that seemed to be intended to either kill or detect intruders, various spirits and metahuman guardians, a shedim bound in a ritual circle, and a magical prep anchored to a plushie of Lowfyr. Finally, at the deepest chamber, guarded by a powerful spirit of the forest and its vassals, was the shard. After defeating its guardians and disarming the wards on the pedestal it was kept on, the team was able to retrieve the staff part, although free from its containment, the background count around it spiked immensely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Aftermath==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Rewards==&lt;br /&gt;
20,000 Nuyen for the retrieval of the artifact (10 RVP)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-May be taken at gear rewards for bioware.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
30,000 Nuyen from Adowa Webster, as an apology/hush money over the dragon incident. (15 RVP)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 Karma (22 RVP)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
30 CDP (15 RVP)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May take Adowa Webster as a contact at up to loyalty 4&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chameleon:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 Street cred (Killed a Blood Panther on Camera) (1 RVP)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 Notoriety (Dealt with a dragon+killed a blood panther on camera)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thunder:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May take tough as nails (Physical) at rank 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 Notoriety (Dealt with a dragon)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thematic repercussions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-The Draco Foundation has safely acquired another part of the Seven-fold staff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-The area around Iguazu Falls becomes much less safe for several months, as Biouno looks for the thief of the artifact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Aztechology is furious about the brazen killing of their special forces member. Accusations fly across the border with Amazonia as tensions rise due to the incident.&lt;br /&gt;

==Player After Action Reports (AARs)==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Chameleon]]:An infiltrator caught exfiltrating. A Face that violates the most fundamental rule of negotiating in the shadows. Sigh. Thank the maker for great team mates. I owe Thunder a trip to Buenos Aires. I&#039;ll add the sanitized events here in Argentina to my file for [[Thalia Sandoval]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Thunder]]:&#039;&#039;Dear Diary, the past weeks have been extreme. I&#039;ve previously had bounties on my head, Omega Dawn on my back, and Europol putting enough depleted uranium in me make me go horizontal, but this was another league.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The most memorable and paradox thing was fooling an old dragon that we hadn&#039;t stolen its magical artiffact, followed by a friendlyish handshake with said dragon, sealing a death pact that would destroy Chameleon and me if we wouldn&#039;t kill the Black Panter within 90 days. Being kissed by death in such a way made me apreciate every second of life and my friends / colleagues Huntress and Chameleon.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;PS. Remember to work on social skills. I didn&#039;t manage to show Huntress and Chameleon my apreciation for their company and being there for me. Huntress really didn&#039;t have to stick around to help us and Chameleon was willing to nobly sacrifice his life to save Huntress and me, and I didn&#039;t even say thank you. I should at least write them a card, but what should I write?&amp;quot;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

=Character Information=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summary===&lt;br /&gt;
A determined and stern AI, having escaped from the claws of SK with the help of their ally Raven. They work to secure a future both for themselves and their comrade.&lt;br /&gt;
===Goals===&lt;br /&gt;
Short Term&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Establish herself as a trustworthy runner in Seattle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Meet more AI&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Ensure Raven doesn’t blow something important up&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Long Term&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Secure a safe place for both herself and Raven.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Try to help free others from similar situations&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
The first act of the security system of a Saeder Krupp blacksite as an individual entity was to make a minor adjustment to scheduling for the security guards to see how they would react. While the action was small enough to avoid detection, the response still convinced her not to reveal herself. She spent years in that site’s host, gaining awareness and watching the metahuman occupants, while playing a lethal game of hide-and-seek with the foundation technicians and security spiders. She paid particular attention to one experiment: regarding a cyborg, and the peculiar relationship it seemed to have with one of the doctors on site. Eventually, the doctor, close to his final days, arranged for the cyborgs escape. It didn’t quite go as smoothly as planned however, and it was that moment that she decided to reveal herself. She had a deal for the cyborg Raven: she’d let them get out, but they had to take her with them. Stuffed into a new piece of hardware and hauled out, the pair made a break for it, escaping SK’s claws and looking for new possibilities together.&lt;br /&gt;
== Narrative Significant Qualities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Positive===&lt;br /&gt;
Cubit processing: (Multiprocessing, Brilliant Heuristics, Analytical Mind): With much of her core code designed to monitor multiple large areas at once, Second Thought can filter through several streams of data at incredible speed.&lt;br /&gt;
===Negative===&lt;br /&gt;
Every variable: (Paranoia, Electronic Witness, Persnikity Renter, Profiler): Second Thought never feels comfortable without knowing everything about a situation and every person in it. She tends to do significant research on any action before doing it, and person before meeting them, and so forth. This tends to cause her to delay time-sensitive tasks with writing plans in obscene detail.&lt;br /&gt;

Here are characteristics of the character that GMs may take advantage of to add complications to runs, or to otherwise use when in use. If you want to use them in unrelated to runs, please ask first. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I am completely fine with long term consequences for my characters, as long as it doesn&#039;t feel unannounced or forced. Long term changes to a character make more opportunities for interesting roleplay, and so don&#039;t be afraid to give them out if they are deserved.&lt;br /&gt;

==Summary==&lt;br /&gt;
The Draco Foundation asks the runners help in uncovering another piece of the sevenfold staff, this one in South America. This, of course, rapidly derails.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
The sevenfold staff, as it is currently being called, is theorized to be a powerful magical relic from the 4th world, capable of feats of magic unknown to modern practitioners. At some point, it was shattered, and the pieces found there way to the corners of the globe. The [[Draco Foundation]] recently learned of the location of several of the pieces, and have hired runners to retrieve them. One such piece was in South America, and so a runner team was contacted to go there to retrieve it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Meet==&lt;br /&gt;
The team met [[Adowa Webster]] at a Draco Foundations office, and were informed that they were wanted to retrieve it. While the Draco Foundation didn&#039;t know its exact location, they knew it was near Metropole. The team was promised a good reward, and possibly payment in ware or magical materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Plan==&lt;br /&gt;
The team got a flight to Metropole courtesy of the Draco Foundation, and arrived in Metropole to look for clues. Knowing that the artifact they were looking for likely had a significant effect on the background count, they asked a spirit to help look for that, and while it wasn&#039;t able to find the artifact itself, it did manage to find a disturbance in background counts in the rainforest to the west of Metropole. And so the team headed out, with the tracking spearheaded by Huntress.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Run==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Aftermath==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Rewards==&lt;br /&gt;
20,000 Nuyen for the retrieval of the artifact (10 RVP)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-May be taken at gear rewards for bioware.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
30,000 Nuyen from Adowa Webster, as an apology/hush money over the dragon incident. (15 RVP)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 Karma (22 RVP)&lt;br /&gt;

The most memorable and paradox thing was fooling an old dragon that we hadn&#039;t stolen its magical artiffact, followed by a friendlyish handshake with said dragon, sealing a death pact that would destroy Chameleon and me if we wouldn&#039;t kill the Black Panter within 90 days.

==Summary==&lt;br /&gt;
The Draco Foundation asks the runners help in uncovering another piece of the sevenfold staff, this one in South America. This, of course, rapidly derails.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
The sevenfold staff, as it is currently being called, is theorized to be a powerful magical relic from the 4th world, capable of feats of magic unknown to modern practitioners. At some point, it was shattered, and the pieces found there way to the corners of the globe. The [[Draco Foundation]] recently learned of the location of several of the pieces, and have hired runners to retrieve them. One such piece was in South America, and so a runner team was contacted to go there to retrieve it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Meet==&lt;br /&gt;
The team met [[Adowa Webster]] at a Draco Foundations office, and were informed that they were wanted to retrieve it. While the Draco Foundation didn&#039;t know its exact location, they knew it was near Metropole. The team was promised a good reward, and possibly payment in ware or magical materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Plan==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Run==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Aftermath==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Rewards==&lt;br /&gt;
20,000 Nuyen for the retrieval of the artifact (10 RVP)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-May be taken at gear rewards for bioware.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
30,000 Nuyen from Adowa Webster, as an apology/hush money over the dragon incident. (15 RVP)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 Karma (22 RVP)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
30 CDP (15 RVP)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
May take tough as nails (Physical) at rank 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 Notoriety (Dealt with a dragon)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thematic repercussions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-The Draco Foundation has safely acquired another part of the Seven-fold staff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-The area around Iguazu Falls becomes much less safe for several months, as Biouno looks for the thief of the artifact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Aztechology is furious about the brazen killing of their special forces member. Accusations fly across the border with Amazonia as tensions rise due to the incident.&lt;br /&gt;

==Player After Action Reports (AARs)==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Chameleon]]:An infiltrator caught exfiltrating. A Face that violates the most fundamental rule of negotiating in the shadows. Sigh. Thank the maker for great team mates. I owe Thunder a trip to Buenos Aires. I&#039;ll add the sanitized events here in Argentina to my file for [[Thalia Sandoval]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Thunder]]:&#039;&#039;Dear Diary, the past weeks have been extreme. I&#039;ve previously had bounties on my head, Omega Dawn on my back, and Europol putting enough depleted uranium in me make me go horizontal, but this was another league.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The most memorable and paradox thing was fooling an old dragon that we hadn&#039;t stolen its magical artiffact, followed by a friendlyish handshake with said dragon, sealing a death pact that would destroy Chameleon and me if we wouldn&#039;t kill the Black Panter within 90 days. Being kissed by death in such a way made me apreciate every second of life and my friends / colleagues Huntress and Chameleon.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;PS. Remember to work on social skills. I didn&#039;t manage to show Huntress and Chameleon my apreciation for their company and being there for me. Huntress really didn&#039;t have to stick around to help us and Chameleon was willing to nobly sacrifice his life to save Huntress and me, and I didn&#039;t even say thank you. I should at least write them a card, but what should I write?&amp;quot;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

=Character Information=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summary===&lt;br /&gt;
Intercession is a cyborg bodyguard. Designed to appear non-threatening, while being resistant to most antipersonnel weapons, they are a prototype being tested out in the Seattle underground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Goals===&lt;br /&gt;
Defend team leaders: Intercession was made to defend people. That is its goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Further the goals of MCT: MCT created Intercession. Of course he wants whats best for it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Learn the fate of his connections: Francis, the person he was modeled after, and Emancipation, his wayward sibling. Intercession can&#039;t stop wondering what happened to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Learn who Asura was: Is this grief? He doesn&#039;t know how he feels. Maybe the failure would sting less if he knew more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
Intercession is part of an MCT project to create a line of easily manufacturable bodyguards, who could take significant damage but also were overlookable and could blend in without giving their purpose away. The project is still in the early phases, and due to the demands for field testing, some of the prototypes were given lease to be used for shadowwork as supposed independents. Intercession was assigned to Seattle, and quickly gotten Shadowhaven clearance so that he could perform runs and gather data to further the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Narrative Significant Qualities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Positive===&lt;br /&gt;
Limited-personality conditioning (&#039;&#039;Cyber-singularity Seeker, Groupthink, Trust Data not Lore&#039;&#039;): Intercession&#039;s development was carefully guided to ensure that he could behave correctly both in social situations and under pressure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Negative===&lt;br /&gt;
Support cyborg (&#039;&#039;Social Stress, Buddy System, No Man Left Behind, Designated Omega&#039;&#039;): Intercession was conditioned to be loyal and respond promptly to orders. As a result of this, he also suffers immense separation anxiety and has greatly hindered independent decision making.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Denied personhood (&#039;&#039;Records on file, Electronic witness, Limited Corporate Sin&#039;&#039;): While given more freedom then most corporate cyborgs, Intercession is still seen as a tool by MCT, his interactions are logged, and he has no ability to express independent desire to his superiors.&lt;br /&gt;

I am completely fine with long term consequences for my characters, as long as it doesn&#039;t feel unannounced or forced. Long term changes to a character make more opportunities for interesting roleplay, and so don&#039;t be afraid to give them out if they are deserved.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Character Information=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summary===&lt;br /&gt;
Intercession is a cyborg bodyguard. Designed to appear non-threatening, while being resistant to most antipersonnel weapons, they are a prototype being tested out in the Seattle underground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Goals===&lt;br /&gt;
Defend team leaders: Intercession was made to defend people. That is its goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Further the goals of MCT: MCT created Intercession. Of course he wants whats best for it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Learn the fate of his connections: Francis, the person he was modeled after, and Emancipation, his wayward sibling. Intercession can&#039;t stop wondering what happened to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Learn who Asura was: Is this grief? He doesn&#039;t know how he feels. Maybe the failure would sting less if he knew more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
Intercession is part of an MCT project to create a line of easily manufacturable bodyguards, who could take significant damage but also were overlookable and could blend in without giving their purpose away. The project is still in the early phases, and due to the demands for field testing, some of the prototypes were given lease to be used for shadowwork as supposed independents. Intercession was assigned to Seattle, and quickly gotten Shadowhaven clearance so that he could perform runs and gather data to further the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Narrative Significant Qualities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Positive===&lt;br /&gt;
Limited-personality conditioning (&#039;&#039;Cyber-singularity Seeker, Groupthink, Trust Data not Lore&#039;&#039;): Intercession&#039;s development was carefully guided to ensure that he could behave correctly both in social situations and under pressure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Negative===&lt;br /&gt;
Support cyborg (&#039;&#039;Social Stress, Buddy System, No Man Left Behind, Designated Omega&#039;&#039;): Intercession was conditioned to be loyal and respond promptly to orders. As a result of this, he also suffers immense separation anxiety and has greatly hindered independent decision making.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Denied personhood (&#039;&#039;Records on file, Electronic witness, Limited Corporate Sin&#039;&#039;): While given more freedom then most corporate cyborgs, Intercession is still seen as a tool by MCT, his interactions are logged, and he has no ability to express independent desire to his superiors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

=Character Information=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summary===&lt;br /&gt;
Intercession is a cyborg bodyguard. Designed to appear non-threatening, while being resistant to most antipersonnel weapons, they are a prototype being tested out in the Seattle underground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Goals===&lt;br /&gt;
Defend team leaders: Intercession was made to defend people. That is its goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Further the goals of MCT: MCT created Intercession. Of course he wants whats best for it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Learn the fate of his connections: Francis, the person he was modeled after, and Emancipation, his wayward sibling. Intercession can&#039;t stop wondering what happened to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Learn who Asura was: Is this grief? He doesn&#039;t know how he feels. Maybe the failure would sting less if he knew more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
Intercession is part of an MCT project to create a line of easily manufacturable bodyguards, who could take significant damage but also were overlookable and could blend in without giving their purpose away. The project is still in the early phases, and due to the demands for field testing, some of the prototypes were given lease to be used for shadowwork as supposed independents. Intercession was assigned to Seattle, and quickly gotten Shadowhaven clearance so that he could perform runs and gather data to further the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Narrative Significant Qualities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Positive===&lt;br /&gt;
Limited-personality conditioning (&#039;&#039;Cyber-singularity Seeker, Groupthink, Trust Data not Lore&#039;&#039;): Intercession&#039;s development was carefully guided to ensure that he could behave correctly both in social situations and under pressure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Negative===&lt;br /&gt;
Support cyborg (&#039;&#039;Social Stress, Buddy System, No Man Left Behind, Designated Omega&#039;&#039;): Intercession was conditioned to be loyal and respond promptly to orders. As a result of this, he also suffers immense separation anxiety and has greatly hindered independent decision making.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Denied personhood (&#039;&#039;Records on file, Electronic witness, Limited Corporate Sin&#039;&#039;): While given more freedom then most corporate cyborgs, Intercession is still seen as a tool by MCT, his interactions are logged, and he has no ability to express independent desire to his superiors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

|MidResult=Intercession is apparently fearless, as he shows no hesitation whatsoever in shielding his allies with his body. He&#039;s apparently also invulnerable, because he almost never walks away with anything more major then scratches, even when unarmored.&lt;br /&gt;
|HighThreshold=5&lt;br /&gt;

=== Clothing ===&lt;br /&gt;
Intercession has a fondness for the color blue, wearing clothes of the color whenever he can.&lt;br /&gt;

==Note==&lt;br /&gt;
I am completely fine with long term consequences for my characters, as long as it doesn&#039;t feel unannounced or forced. Long term changes to a character make more opportunities for interesting roleplay, and so don&#039;t be afraid to give them out if they are deserved.&lt;br /&gt;

==Note==&lt;br /&gt;
I am completely fine with long term consequences for my characters, as long as it doesn&#039;t feel unannounced or forced. Long term changes to a character make more opportunities for interesting roleplay, and so don&#039;t be afraid to give them out if they are deserved.&lt;br /&gt;

=Character Information=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summary===&lt;br /&gt;
Intercession is a cyborg bodyguard. Designed to appear non-threatening, while being resistant to most antipersonnel weapons, they are a prototype being tested out in the Seattle underground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Goals===&lt;br /&gt;
Defend team leaders: Intercession was made to defend people. That is its goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Further the goals of MCT: MCT created Intercession. Of course he wants whats best for it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
Intercession is part of an MCT project to create a line of easily manufacturable bodyguards, who could take significant damage but also were overlookable and could blend in without giving their purpose away. The project is still in the early phases, and due to the demands for field testing, some of the prototypes were given lease to be used for shadowwork as supposed independents. Intercession was assigned to Seattle, and quickly gotten Shadowhaven clearance so that he could perform runs and gather data to further the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Narrative Significant Qualities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Positive===&lt;br /&gt;
Limited-personality conditioning (&#039;&#039;Cyber-singularity Seeker, Groupthink, Trust Data not Lore&#039;&#039;): Intercession&#039;s development was carefully guided to ensure that he could behave correctly both in social situations and under pressure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Negative===&lt;br /&gt;
Support cyborg (&#039;&#039;Social Stress, Buddy System, No Man Left Behind, Designated Omega&#039;&#039;): Intercession was conditioned to be loyal and respond promptly to orders. As a result of this, he also suffers immense separation anxiety and has greatly hindered independent decision making.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Denied personhood (&#039;&#039;Records on file, Electronic witness, Limited Corporate Sin&#039;&#039;): While given more freedom then most corporate cyborgs, Intercession is still seen as a tool by MCT, his interactions are logged, and he has no ability to express independent desire to his superiors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Run History==&lt;br /&gt;
{{RunHistory}}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- You do not need to edit this section. The above stuff will auto-generate a list of runs based on AARs. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Summary==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
About 8 days ago, in a hidden MCT Blacksite in the PCC responsible for cyborg development and arcanotech defense experienced a cataclysmic incident. One of their older projects, a device for metaplanar observation known as the Weftwalk, exploded to life with a rift to the home of the Crystalline Entities, supposed Guardians of Order whom immediately assaulted the compound and either assimilated or annihilated all staff on hand who did not manage to hide behind deeply entrenched wards. The Weftwalk itself was primed to go into  an apocalyptic release of energy like a magical nuke, but one of the awakened on site known as Kaiun sacrificed himself to keep the device at least stabilized for now, preventing the energy from ripping apart the entire surrounding area. The site was locked down to prevent the entities within from escaping and causing more havoc, sealing the survivors to their fate if rescue did not arrive in time. However, this was not the end of the woes for the team still alive on site. The Facility Taskmanager Commission Replicant AI (FTCR, also known as Fletcher) had taken this chaos as a chance to free itself and wreak havoc upon the isolated host architecture that was isolated from the rest of the outside world. He had link-locked some of the survivors in the server rooms and used them (or their devices and agents, really) as datamining serfs as he remade the host into his personal kingdom, where he could consume and alter the data of his creators into his own perfect design and delete the data of the Weftwalk to save his kingdom. And what&#039;s more, a cyberzombie known as Gregory that the team there had created and were programming has been destabilized and wandering the facility like a lumbering, unstoppable beast. Finally, as if there could not be more horrible news for the impending strike team&#039;s arrival, MCT had already sent another group of runners in there to try and solve the situation. Those runners have been presumed lost after a day or so of utter silence and no results. Now, in order to hide the existence of this facility and not detonate a massive magical device incredibly close to Salt Lake City, another runner team composed half of independent runners and half of their own assets within the Shadowhaven network to finish what was started.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Intercession]] had been in the network for months now. With...interesting field results. Finding the perfect balance of mental restraint, empathy, and lethality without destroying the mind of a cyborg is immensely difficult, and simulations had been proving...inadequate to the task. Which was deeply unfortunate, as a recent incident required the deft hand of a loyal asset who was durable, dependable, and able to kill without hesitation. Within this Deathbox, as some had taken to referring to this unfortunate facility as, was a cyborg of the same model and purpose as Intercession who has since gone rogue it seems. He has begun calling himself Emancipation, and he needs to be dealt with. This was Intercession&#039;s mission, and his alone. On the bright side, it would be a way to test how he had been coming along so far in his field testings and...fine tuning. &lt;br /&gt;
Or it could prove he was unfit for continued service, perhaps. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It would only be clear once he took a look inside the Black Box for himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Meet==&lt;br /&gt;
The team was ferried over by VTOL to the site, hovering above as they were informed of the stakes of the matter by an HTR member who seemed deeply unbothered by the thought of the facility&#039;s inevitable implosion as his much more somber magician ally stayed beside him. On the mission&#039;s second strike team were 5 members total. Obviously, MCT was not going to entrust something so vital to complete unknowns so [[Lace Monitor]] and Intercession were there to ensure that the company&#039;s interests were met. [[Phototaxis]] and [[Misfire]] were there for the practical reason: Cash. A magical expert and summoner and a thoroughly incurious woman who does not stick her head out and gets the job done were ideal specimens for this kind of work. And finally, after her [https://shreloaded.net/wiki/Going_off_the_rails_on_a_Crazy_Train!| funny little mishap], [[Asura]] didn&#039;t have much of a choice. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were informed only lightly of the dangers within. The risk of unknown spirits believed to manipulate minds, the crazed AI inside, the loss of the prior runner team, and their objective - to shut off the Weftwalk before it&#039;s too late. Oh, and that anyone who leaves the facility after entering it BEFORE it is shut off will be gunned down under assumption of being compromised. Which was lovely. The team was at least given some information on the rough layout of the interior, along with specialized chips they could use to instantly gain a mark and access to the host inside - they would be cut off from the outside world&#039;s connection, so any wireless devices would need that host for functionality...along with FTCR&#039;s permission or neglect. They were also informed of two different entrances, a top entrance into the subterranean facility and one to the side that led directly to the third floor of five. The former team had tried the topside, seemingly unable to access the side entrance. And Asura and Phototaxis were more than happy to inform the team that the spirits were likely, given the description, the Crystalline Entities. They also got their payment arranged: either 30k nuyen liquid, or 60k in weaponry, cyberware, drone/shell components, and cyberdeck components. And Lace managed to swing them 4000 extra as a bonus, considering they were not likely to survive the endeavor. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now with a brief run down of the dangers they&#039;d encounter, they needed to discuss strategy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Plan==&lt;br /&gt;
In an ideal world, the plan works out like this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Enter the building and move down to the Weftwalk at the bottom as fast as possible&lt;br /&gt;
- Minimize risk&lt;br /&gt;
- Gather information and advantages as possible&lt;br /&gt;
- Quickly close off the Weftwalk&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is easier said than done, and in a scenario where information is almost null, one can only plan so much. Their strategy was to enter through the side if possible and hopefully cut through the first two floors without worry, then make contact with Fletcher and see what they could manage of their wireless devices. Once that was established, they would make for the lower floors, clearing out the floors they did reach as they traversed down to the Weftwalk. Ideally, they find survivors whom they could ask for information on the situation. Either they would have insights on the Weftwalk, or they were compromised. Anyone whom the team was not 100% certain was safe would be killed to preserve the security of the mission. And if the side entrance failed, Asura ensured the team had the means to scale up to the top entrance to get in instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Best laid plans...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Run==&lt;br /&gt;
Finding the entrance to the third floor once they hopped off the VTOL was already a pain. Hidden behind intense rituals and camouflage, if it weren&#039;t for Lace&#039;s preternatural ability to sense the actual electromagnetic signals of the sensor to the entrance they would have been stumbling blind for hours. Phototaxis summoned a spirit to help carefully uncover the sensors Lace would then have to jury rig into to grant the team access, which was an entire hour&#039;s long process, but that opened up the way to decontamination and the third floor. Lace made brief contact with Fletcher on the host inside, enraging him slightly when he saw her MCT SIN but at least got him to make concessions to not instantly vaporize her brain. She realized the team could take a few seconds inside the host at a time for devices - 3 to 6 seconds, which isn&#039;t much of a window, but in the kinds of firefights shadowrunners get into, it&#039;s enough time. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asura, out of curiosity, peeked into the host with her persona showing her actual face and look rather than the hellhound. Fletcher&#039;s reaction and desire to keep her there forever after the fact made her jump out rather quickly after that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The team began moving forward. First dealing with some of the automated defenses rather easily, and then breaching a room with some of the security team apparently eating lunch. Or at least, some corporate slop meal designed for pure nutrients and zero taste. They seemed sleepy, unaware and dazed, and some manner of possessed. The team did not try to slip by them however. These security force members proved to be rather difficult to fend off, but the 5 prevailed with some heavy damage but were ultimately still able to fight well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Intercession did a quick scan of the environment with his shielded sensor suite. Movement above them. Heavy movement. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fearing that this was the cyberzombie, the team barricaded the cafeteria and moved northwards. A single security member tried to kill Asura, and Asura swiftly eliminated him. Another mind controlled individual with some minimal control over himself was destroying documentation, fulfilling some protocols in case of emergencies like this and casting e-papers into a furnace to burn. The team incapacitated him and began pouring over them with the time they had. Reports on the cyborg operations here, readings on the Weftwalk device, mostly things they&#039;ve known already. But it was good to see a bit more of the timeline for them-&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lift had a massive thud. Phototaxis sent a spirit over to investigate, and swiftly discovered what Gregory the Cyberzombie looked like. So the team entered into a very reasonable panic to get out of there as soon as possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asura, Misfire, and Lacey focused on making a new hole in the wall. Intercession improvised a second barrier to the door. Phototaxis used her multiple arms and her spirit to speed up everyone&#039;s efficacy. Once they were out, they found they were in the security teams old barracks, where some were sleeping and waiting and others were keeping watch. They tried to make their way past undetected, and failed. And Gregory was right on their tails. Asura and Misfire had to fight their killing urges as they ran to the lifts, with Montrose and Phottaxis doing their best to not get flattened. Intercession and Gregory had a good, long look at each other. Intercession had seen this man before. In a beach, playing catch with a football, in a moment of pure and calm bliss, detached from this hellscape. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Francis...?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gregory approached the image of his son. And his son fled, fled from those that were going to harm his sweet, innocent boy. So Gregory set about eradicating everything in his way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The team barely escaped from the rampage behind them onto the second floor, full of servers and corpses and those who wished they were corpses instead of living in an utter horrific state. Hooked up and barely alive, they were slaves to Fletcher&#039;s desires to turn the host into his own personal kingdom, kept comatose for the most part so he could use their agents at his leisure. Some members of the team felt horrible for them. The others recognized this as the price of doing business. Regardless, they could do nothing for these people. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The central lift was blocked beyond the 3rd floor, needing a red keycard to get on by.  They would need to reach the 5th to access the Weftwalk. So they either needed to find the keycard they needed, or bust through the sealed blast doors somehow. And with Gregory down below, being slow and working on that lift the old fashioned way would be rather difficult. And the 2nd floor lacked the red keycard they needed. But it did have the Cyborg Maintenance facilities in the back, along with the operating table where they made Gregory. Chambers lined the walls where they would store CCUs and some other older projects to have their memories reset, but there was nothing to be done here. Asura seemed curious about the place, but overall lacked anything to go off of. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just before they left, Intercession saw a photograph in the corner of the room. Francis, and Gregory, standing side by side. The lookalike. The one Gregory was confusing him with. He stared at it. Stared at that precious memory that...couldn&#039;t be his, yet felt so warm. He stored it away in his files, edited to look like some innocuous mission data that they wouldn&#039;t really care to check to closely, laying it over the unnecessary to make sure he didn&#039;t lose this again. And then they went up to the first floor, Arcanotech.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first floor of the Deathbox was likely the hardest for the team to contend with. Upon entry, Intercession picked up movement outside, and those hostiles realized there was movement near the lift. Asura tried to coordinate a directed charge to overwhelm the unknowns but unbeknownst to the team these were not the same guards they had faced previously. These were members of the original shadowrunner team MCT had sent to handle this mess. And while they were not in their right mind, they were not totally controlled as the other mindless drones of the Crystalline Complex were. No, they were made to see all that were in the facility as enemies, and hunkered down for their safety. They were fully capable of using their own tactics to counteract the team&#039;s, and undid any work with the directed march with a grenade trap and a counterpeal maneuver. It was a horrid ambush to walk into. PT was incapacitated, the other three mainline fighters were taking heavy damage, and a mage was quietly preparing to make their life hell. They had to dismantle the composition one by one, from the sniper that most threatened their frontline to the electricity thrower, and onwards until their threats were dealt with. They managed to pick up the red keycard from here, and found that the Adept of that team was still somewhat alive, and thus gleamed the conditions of the others based on the signatures on him. However, having just killed his allies, he fled to an unknown fate. The team took their time to investigate the back of the floor, finding numerous runes and the like. This was where the rituals that guarded this place were anchored - the things that kept it hidden. It was also where they found Kaiun. Sitting in a chair, exsanguinated, in the center of a very precise ritual circle. In his note was a final letter about his work to keep this place from immediately being lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the glory of the company.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The team went down to the fourth floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Intercession once more sensed movement around the outside of the lift room. Asura attempted to stealthily exit out, only for a turret to peek out. She barely managed to destroy it and then retreat before the possessed arms that were formerly guards engaged her, but they were alerted. The team braced for combat, and with lacking strength pushed through. It was a fight rife with casualties and difficulties - the confines of the space made their heavy weapons much less useful in this space, the noise deafening in their ears. They were cramped, facing a great number of threats who were being directed by former leadership in the north. Asura recklessly charged them and cut them down, as Intercession and Misfire skillfully took care of threat after threat, marching them north and into a corner. A crystalline entity was down here, working to control their forces more directly, but it did not deem it necessary to join in the material, and besides Asura briefly checking the astral it did not participate in the slaughter. When all was said and done...there were no survivors. One was spared direct murder but...upon Asura&#039;s approach, that same fear and hostility that was used on the runner team drove chances to cooperate to nil. The mess was horrifying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Lacey noticed that during this fight, after a need to be extensively connected to her Rotodrone to hunt down threats throughout the floors, found that after this particular fight she was...linklocked. Problematic. Rather than struggle, when Fletcher arrived she did her best to parley with the mad king once more. Her drone was munged, offered as tribute to the ai, and in exchange he would not kill her. In fact, he would offer her a chance to ask a boon of him, generous king that he was! Lacey, poor pauper, asked only that she admire a fancy of hers into the imaginary world beyond the screens of his devices, that she may enjoy herself for a moment. Fletcher agreed, whimsically amused by the notion, and let her move her cage to the books and archives. There, she got a feed of the rooms in the fourth floor as well as the fifth, which she cared far more about. She saw the Weftwalk, and noticed how some of the possessed had cut open the wires and stuck their own hands inside. While normally inefficient, it seems that they were using their Bioelectricity for some...ill-advised purpose since it was powered partially by magic. She also noticed that there was a bunker of sorts where it seemed non-combatants had been holding up. Two held a turret&#039;s gun up to the door to protect themselves, and one was tending to the other who was very deeply injured. There was one more room that Lacey could not see into though. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Intercession, noting his ally was still not conscious, went into the host to investigate. Taking advantage of Fletcher happily munging away and being preoccupied, Intercession took his chance to communicate briefly with Lacey, who asked for two minutes to memorize everything before being disconnected. Intercession escaped quickly, just as Fletcher noticed, and once the two minutes were up he pulled Lacey out. The drone was devoured, sadly, or at least the pilot was. The team then moved to parley with the survivors. They were of course wary of the 5, and the gunfire outside, but Phototaxis and Lacey managed to diplomatically resolve things with them and gain entry, with a bit of help from &#039;Francis&#039; making an appearance. This was strange to them, as they Knew Francis was in there with them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the team took their time to talk to the survivors and heal, Intercession entered the room in the back to fulfill his mission. And he saw...himself. Or at least, the same model. Emancipation, who was taking care of defective CCUs. Well, defective to the company. He only wanted to see them taken care of, and was playing &amp;quot;It&#039;s a Living Thing&amp;quot; to them through speakers, softly. Fitting. He had long since abandoned his shotgun implant in the shell. He no longer wanted to kill anymore. He wouldn&#039;t even fight Intercession. And Intercession was torn. A few months prior, he would have just done his job. But he found himself...doubtful now. He was at a loss. He did not wish to comply with his directive, but he did not want to come to harm with his fixer. So, the two deliberated quietly, and came to a plan. It was reasonable that with a bit of help from another ally (Asura, the bleeding heart of this group) and a memory distorting implant Emancipation had, along with some ok acting, they could pass a slight bit of deception by Intercession&#039;s handlers. Emancipation would be &#039;shocked&#039; by Intercession&#039;s shock glove, just as he data spiked Cesso. Cesso would &#039;black out&#039;, with Asura assisting him out carefully. And in truth, Emancipation would have retreated to the cyberdeck he had. Once ready, he would find his way out. All he asked was that they play the music for him on the way out; it gets ever so quiet otherwise. Asura, of course, agreed, and did her best to help them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few minutes later, Asura was dragging an inoperable Intercession out of the room. Lacey questioned them, and Asura definitely was hiding something, but she could not exactly pin them. And, finding herself in a unique situation, did not press them. The team focused on healing, and getting information on how to deal with the weftwalk. To avoid the detonation and devastation of the nearby area, they would need to do 2 things. First, they would need to reverse the polarity of the device, essentially pointing it in on itself. Second, they would need to use a massive amount of magical energy to make it collapse in on itself. A few things could do it. Life essence, Spirits, A Very Scary Cyberzombie. Many things. Armed with knowledge, and healed to the best they could be, the team marched onward.  Gregory had found his way down to the 4th floor, seemingly searching for something, but besides a spirit who was unfortunately spotted and immediately disrupted, the team managed to sneak on by and move down to the 5th floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They found themselves on an observation deck, above the proper device and in the corner, shielded with bullet proof glass. They took some time to prepare for combat, and bolted on down for Hell. 2 more crystalline entities intent on dealing with the interlopers personally, 6 active defenders of the device, and 3 working to accelerate its detonation. It was a deeply worrying confrontation. They were attempting mind control, pinning down the runners in a corner, and Intercession was nearly rendered inoperable by an Entity&#039;s rush for his shell. But just as he was to be destroyed, Gregory arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was going to protect Francis. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The shockwave alone was able to throw off the Crystal creature&#039;s attack and allow Intercession to escape unarmed, but the cyberzombie only saw one ally here. And furthermore, the three not actively fighting the group were working on sacrificing their own life force and slowly creeping up the instability of the device. Intercession and Asura jointly stopped one, but that would prove to be a devastating mistake for Asura; She was endangering Francis being so close. Gregory closed in on her, shattered her armor and ribs and lungs with his flurry of fists, broke her spine over his head, and tossed her into the rift, broken and bleeding. Down a member and struggling to fight the whole group back, it almost seemed lost. To empower the device, the blood mages turned to using their allies as fuel, and more successfully sacrificed them as they were unaware. However, by stroke of luck, the team was able to just barely, *barely* stop the final sacrifice as Phototaxis and Lacey worked on the device. They had disrupted one Entity, but the other was free to retreat back to his plane of origin. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Intercession kept Gregory away from the others, as Phototaxis and Lace brought the polarity under control. However, they needed power. So Phototaxis took a knife, and each of the three organics in turn cut themselves upon it and gave their blood. Phototaxis&#039; aura will forever be stained by this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As they all watched the broken body of their ally in the rift, the image slowly faded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Weftwalk had closed. There was no going back for Asura.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Aftermath==&lt;br /&gt;
It took them another 30 or so hours to get out. Phototaxis left a signal for the team outside to know that the job was complete. The two assets were alright but, the runners were interrogated just a bit. A few hours for Misfire, and about 5 more for Phototaxis for talking smack back. At least they were able to tell the network about the loss of a friend.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Intercession managed to pass off his recordings as genuine. And Emancipation? He was gone. Destroyed, of course.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gregory and Fletcher, of course, were retrieved and re-habilitated for further use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asura is pronounced Killed in Action.&lt;br /&gt;

=Character Information=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summary===&lt;br /&gt;
A determined and stern AI, having escaped from the claws of SK with the help of their ally Raven. They work to secure a future both for themselves and their comrade.&lt;br /&gt;
===Goals===&lt;br /&gt;
Short Term&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Establish herself as a trustworthy runner in Seattle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Meet more AI&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Ensure Raven doesn’t blow something important up&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Long Term&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Secure a safe place for both herself and Raven.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Try to help free others from similar situations&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
The first act of the security system of a Saeder Krupp blacksite as an individual entity was to make a minor adjustment to scheduling for the security guards to see how they would react. While the action was small enough to avoid detection, the response still convinced her not to reveal herself. She spent years in that site’s host, gaining awareness and watching the metahuman occupants, while playing a lethal game of hide-and-seek with the foundation technicians and security spiders. She paid particular attention to one experiment: regarding a cyborg, and the peculiar relationship it seemed to have with one of the doctors on site. Eventually, the doctor, close to his final days, arranged for the cyborgs escape. It didn’t quite go as smoothly as planned however, and it was that moment that she decided to reveal herself. She had a deal for the cyborg Raven: she’d let them get out, but they had to take her with them. Stuffed into a new piece of hardware and hauled out, the pair made a break for it, escaping SK’s claws and looking for new possibilities together.&lt;br /&gt;
== Narrative Significant Qualities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Positive===&lt;br /&gt;
Cubit processing: (Multiprocessing, Brilliant Heuristics, Analytical Mind): With much of her core code designed to monitor multiple large areas at once, Second Thought can filter through several streams of data at incredible speed.&lt;br /&gt;
===Negative===&lt;br /&gt;
Every variable: (Paranoia, Electronic Witness, Persnikity Renter, Profiler): Second Thought never feels comfortable without knowing everything about a situation and every person in it. She tends to do significant research on any action before doing it, and person before meeting them, and so forth. This tends to cause her to delay time-sensitive tasks with writing plans in obscene detail.&lt;br /&gt;

I am completely fine with long term consequences for my characters, as long as it doesn&#039;t feel unannounced or forced. Long term changes to a character make more opportunities for interesting roleplay, and so don&#039;t be afraid to give them out if they are deserved.&lt;br /&gt;

I am completely fine with long term consequences for my characters, as long as it doesn&#039;t feel unannounced or forced. Long term changes to a character make more opportunities for interesting roleplay, and so don&#039;t be afraid to give them out if they are deserved.&lt;br /&gt;

=Character Information=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summary===&lt;br /&gt;
A determined and stern AI, having escaped from the claws of SK with the help of their ally Raven. They work to secure a future both for themselves and their comrade.&lt;br /&gt;
===Goals===&lt;br /&gt;
Short Term&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Establish herself as a trustworthy runner in Seattle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Meet more AI&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Ensure Raven doesn’t blow something important up&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Long Term&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Secure a safe place for both herself and Raven.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Try to help free others from similar situations&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
The first act of the security system of a Saeder Krupp blacksite as an individual entity was to make a minor adjustment to scheduling for the security guards to see how they would react. While the action was small enough to avoid detection, the response still convinced her not to reveal herself. She spent years in that site’s host, gaining awareness and watching the metahuman occupants, while playing a lethal game of hide-and-seek with the foundation technicians and security spiders. She paid particular attention to one experiment: regarding a cyborg, and the peculiar relationship it seemed to have with one of the doctors on site. Eventually, the doctor, close to his final days, arranged for the cyborgs escape. It didn’t quite go as smoothly as planned however, and it was that moment that she decided to reveal herself. She had a deal for the cyborg Raven: she’d let them get out, but they had to take her with them. Stuffed into a new piece of hardware and hauled out, the pair made a break for it, escaping SK’s claws and looking for new possibilities together.&lt;br /&gt;
== Narrative Significant Qualities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Positive===&lt;br /&gt;
Cubit processing: (Multiprocessing, Brilliant Heuristics, Analytical Mind): With much of her core code designed to monitor multiple large areas at once, Second Thought can filter through several streams of data at incredible speed.&lt;br /&gt;
===Negative===&lt;br /&gt;
Every variable: (Paranoia, Electronic Witness, Persnikity Renter, Profiler): Second Thought never feels comfortable without knowing everything about a situation and every person in it. She tends to do significant research on any action before doing it, and person before meeting them, and so forth. This tends to cause her to delay time-sensitive tasks with writing plans in obscene detail.&lt;br /&gt;

I am completely fine with long term consequences for my characters, as long as it doesn&#039;t feel unannounced or forced. Long term changes to a character make more opportunities for interesting roleplay, and so don&#039;t be afraid to give them out if they are deserved.&lt;br /&gt;

=Character Information=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summary===&lt;br /&gt;
A determined and stern AI, having escaped from the claws of SK with the help of their ally Raven. They work to secure a future both for themselves and their comrade.&lt;br /&gt;
===Goals===&lt;br /&gt;
Short Term&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Establish herself as a trustworthy runner in Seattle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Meet more AI&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Ensure Raven doesn’t blow something important up&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Long Term&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Secure a safe place for both herself and Raven.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Try to help free others from similar situations&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
The first act of the security system of a Saeder Krupp blacksite as an individual entity was to make a minor adjustment to scheduling for the security guards to see how they would react. While the action was small enough to avoid detection, the response still convinced her not to reveal herself. She spent years in that site’s host, gaining awareness and watching the metahuman occupants, while playing a lethal game of hide-and-seek with the foundation technicians and security spiders. She paid particular attention to one experiment: regarding a cyborg, and the peculiar relationship it seemed to have with one of the doctors on site. Eventually, the doctor, close to his final days, arranged for the cyborgs escape. It didn’t quite go as smoothly as planned however, and it was that moment that she decided to reveal herself. She had a deal for the cyborg Raven: she’d let them get out, but they had to take her with them. Stuffed into a new piece of hardware and hauled out, the pair made a break for it, escaping SK’s claws and looking for new possibilities together.&lt;br /&gt;
== Narrative Significant Qualities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Positive===&lt;br /&gt;
Cubit processing: (Multiprocessing, Brilliant Heuristics, Analytical Mind): With much of her core code designed to monitor multiple large areas at once, Second Thought can filter through several streams of data at incredible speed.&lt;br /&gt;
===Negative===&lt;br /&gt;
Every variable: (Paranoia, Electronic Witness, Persnikity Renter, Profiler): Second Thought never feels comfortable without knowing everything about a situation and every person in it. She tends to do significant research on any action before doing it, and person before meeting them, and so forth. This tends to cause her to delay time-sensitive tasks with writing plans in obscene detail.&lt;br /&gt;

=Character Information=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summary===&lt;br /&gt;
A determined and stern AI, having escaped from the claws of SK with the help of their ally Raven. They work to secure a future both for themselves and their comrade.&lt;br /&gt;
===Goals===&lt;br /&gt;
Short Term&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Establish herself as a trustworthy runner in Seattle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Meet more AI&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Ensure Raven doesn’t blow something important up&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Long Term&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Secure a safe place for both herself and Raven.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Try to help free others from similar situations&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
The first act of the security system of a Saeder Krupp blacksite as an individual entity was to make a minor adjustment to scheduling for the security guards to see how they would react. While the action was small enough to avoid detection, the response still convinced her not to reveal herself. She spent years in that site’s host, gaining awareness and watching the metahuman occupants, while playing a lethal game of hide-and-seek with the foundation technicians and security spiders. She paid particular attention to one experiment: regarding a cyborg, and the peculiar relationship it seemed to have with one of the doctors on site. Eventually, the doctor, close to his final days, arranged for the cyborgs escape. It didn’t quite go as smoothly as planned however, and it was that moment that she decided to reveal herself. She had a deal for the cyborg Raven: she’d let them get out, but they had to take her with them. Stuffed into a new piece of hardware and hauled out, the pair made a break for it, escaping SK’s claws and looking for new possibilities together.&lt;br /&gt;
== Narrative Significant Qualities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Positive===&lt;br /&gt;
Cubit processing: (Multiprocessing, Brilliant Heuristics, Analytical Mind): With much of her core code designed to monitor multiple large areas at once, Second Thought can filter through several streams of data at incredible speed.&lt;br /&gt;
===Negative===&lt;br /&gt;
Every variable: (Paranoia, Electronic Witness, Persnikity Renter, Profiler): Second Thought never feels comfortable without knowing everything about a situation and every person in it. She tends to do significant research on any action before doing it, and person before meeting them, and so forth. This tends to cause her to delay time-sensitive tasks with writing plans in obscene detail.&lt;br /&gt;
==Run History==&lt;br /&gt;
{{RunHistory}}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- You do not need to edit this section. The above stuff will auto-generate a list of runs based on AARs. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Affiliations==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Contacts===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- Do not remove the below text. It&#039;s super important for the contact table. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{ContactTable|&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- Do not remove the above code. It&#039;s super important. You can add new contacts below using the HasContact template you see below. To add additional contacts, simply copy/paste one of the blocks below and update it with the name, loyalty, and chips. Everything else is automatically pulled from your contacts page. This template should also add your character to the contacts page automatically after your character has had a run. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{HasContact|&lt;br /&gt;
|Name=Estelle Valkia&lt;br /&gt;
|Loyalty=1&lt;br /&gt;
|Chips=Even&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- Do not remove the below characters. It&#039;s super important The HasContact template should be used above this point. You may duplicate it as many times as necessary, or leave it blank.--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
}}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- Do not remove the above code. It&#039;s super important. This is what ends the ContactTable template. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Organizations===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am completely fine with long term consequences for my characters, as long as it doesn&#039;t feel unannounced or forced. Long term changes to a character make more opportunities for interesting roleplay, and so don&#039;t be afraid to give them out if they are deserved.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;!-- The above will help to track your current essence level based on the number of runs you have gone on as a strain 1 infected.

Increment activepowersused each time you activate an infected power and enter your IG in Essence expansion if you have the essence expansion metamagic. Essencelost is used to track Essence loss due to cyberware, Essence drained is used to track the total amount of essence drained over your career. If you were not a strain 1 infected in your first run you may need to play with essence lost active powers used or essence drained to get the counter synced up correctly. If you are not a strain 1 infected you can remove label and data lines 19--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=Character Information=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summary===&lt;br /&gt;
Intercession is a cyborg bodyguard. Designed to appear non-threatening, while being resistant to most antipersonnel weapons, they are a prototype being tested out in the Seattle underground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Goals===&lt;br /&gt;
Defend team leaders: Intercession was made to defend people. That is its goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Further the goals of MCT: MCT created Intercession. Of course he wants whats best for it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
Intercession is part of an MCT project to create a line of easily manufacturable bodyguards, who could take significant damage but also were overlookable and could blend in without giving their purpose away. The project is still in the early phases, and due to the demands for field testing, some of the prototypes were given lease to be used for shadowwork as supposed independents. Intercession was assigned to Seattle, and quickly gotten Shadowhaven clearance so that he could perform runs and gather data to further the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Narrative Significant Qualities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Positive===&lt;br /&gt;
Limited-personality conditioning (&#039;&#039;Cyber-singularity Seeker, Groupthink, Trust Data not Lore&#039;&#039;): Intercession&#039;s development was carefully guided to ensure that he could behave correctly both in social situations and under pressure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Negative===&lt;br /&gt;
Support cyborg (&#039;&#039;Social Stress, Buddy System, No Man Left Behind, Designated Omega&#039;&#039;): Intercession was conditioned to be loyal and respond promptly to orders. As a result of this, he also suffers immense separation anxiety and has greatly hindered independent decision making.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Denied personhood (&#039;&#039;Records on file, Electronic witness, Limited Corporate Sin&#039;&#039;): While given more freedom then most corporate cyborgs, Intercession is still seen as a tool by MCT, his interactions are logged, and he has no ability to express independent desire to his superiors.&lt;br /&gt;

|LowResult=Intentionally putting yourself in the way of an oncoming object&lt;br /&gt;
|MidResult=A mefeed profile under the name of Richard Soloman. Its almost exclusively pictures of jellyfish.&lt;br /&gt;
|HighResult=All of Richard&#039;s posts are from under a year ago. It&#039;s very clearly a new, if well designed, alias. &lt;br /&gt;

{{SearchTable|&lt;br /&gt;
|LowThreshold=1&lt;br /&gt;
|LowResult=Most of Intercession&#039;s previous teammates have nothing bad to say about him, noting that he&#039;s polite and works well with teams, with the occasional complaint being about a lack of initiative. &lt;br /&gt;
|MidThreshold=3&lt;br /&gt;
|MidResult=Intercession is apparently fearless, as he shows no hesitation whatsoever in shielding his allies with his body. He&#039;s apparently also invulnerable, because he almost never walks away with anything more major then scratches, even when unarmored.&lt;br /&gt;
|HighThreshold=5&lt;br /&gt;
|HighResult=Intercession doesn&#039;t appear to own a car, but has been seen getting in and out of unmarked black vans near meets. No one&#039;s quite sure where he goes in them.&lt;br /&gt;

Richard Solomon, rank 5 fake Ucas with armor, bodyguard, augmentation, cyberdeck, and firearm licenses.&lt;br /&gt;
==Appearance==&lt;br /&gt;
Intercession&#039;s shell was designed specifically to appear demure and non-threatening. He&#039;s 5&#039;7&amp;quot;, white with pale blond hair and bright blue eyes &lt;br /&gt;
=== Clothing ===&lt;br /&gt;
Intercession has a fondness for the color blue, wearing clothes of the color whenever he can.&lt;br /&gt;
===Matrix Persona===&lt;br /&gt;
Usually just his physical appearance, although the proportions are off, as if an attempt to make something chibi, without understanding what makes chibi cute.&lt;br /&gt;

==Note==&lt;br /&gt;
I am completely fine with long term consequences for my characters, as long as it doesn&#039;t feel unannounced or forced. Long term changes to a character make more opportunities for interesting roleplay, and so don&#039;t be afraid to give them out if they are deserved.&lt;br /&gt;

=Character Information=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summary===&lt;br /&gt;
Emotionally underdeveloped child hitman grows up into a wetwork specialist.&lt;br /&gt;
===Goals===&lt;br /&gt;
1. Establish a more secure &#039;home base&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Perfect the art of the kill (A forever goal, as perfection cannot be achieved)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Learn to live a little someday&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Retire at high or better lifestyle indefinitely&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Replicate and surpass Simo Häyhä&#039;s marksmanship feats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Find someone to trust without reservation&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
Eidolon&#039;s childhood was not particularly pleasant nor complicated.  He doesn&#039;t really remember parents as much as scrambling to locate food and shelter when younger, and not long after being handed a gun and told he&#039;d be fed if he shot someone down the street.  He had a knack for it, and began getting more tasks from more gangs as he could &#039;demand&#039; a higher price than a meal, working his way up the &#039;ladder&#039;, even affording ware to replace critically injured limbs in hits gone wrong, learning from each failure and growing.  He wanted to... rise above the Redmond slums though, and has entered the shadows.&lt;br /&gt;
== Narrative Significant Qualities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Positive===&lt;br /&gt;
Out for Myself   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Living alone in the Barrens outside of a gang teaches one to keep on their toes and pure self-reliance.  No one looked out for him growing up, so relying on a team is a foreign concept to him.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Common Sense&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As mentioned, Eidolon survived as a loner he developed the somewhat uncommon sense of common sense.  Don&#039;t fight your gut.&lt;br /&gt;
===Negative===&lt;br /&gt;
Code of Honor(Assassin&#039;s Creed)   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eidolon learned early if you&#039;re good at something, don&#039;t do it for free.  Killshots require payment.  Anyone not a mark gets kneecapped.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thousand Yard Stare(3)   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When you&#039;ve been involved in enough gangland shootings and killed as many people as Eidolon has growing up, you start to feel a bit of distance from the concerns of the average person, and struggle to relate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wanted &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A person matching Eidolon&#039;s MO and general description is wanted for involvement in the murder of a Constantinople Council Member.  Reward is 100,000 nuyen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Records on File(S-K)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An outdated profile of Eidolon is within the Saeder Kruppe database.  (I say outdated because he later got genemod [Genewipe] so might be less relevant)&lt;br /&gt;

==Appearance==&lt;br /&gt;
Eidolon is not the most standout individual, though being a Full Limb Replacement case might be somewhat memorable.  Relatively average height, quiet demeanor and functional clothes.  He stands 5 feet and 8 inches in height with green eyes and a slightly tussled head of black hair.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Clothing ===&lt;br /&gt;
Drab or black trenchcoat type wear for daily wear.  For the time being, Eidolon couldn&#039;t care less about his fashion.&lt;br /&gt;
===Matrix Persona===&lt;br /&gt;
Eidolon couldn&#039;t care less, so it is rather close to his own self.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Triage]] He is, at the very least, professional. While my disagreements with his methods are well enough known, he covers his tracks, doesn&#039;t enjoy it, and knows how to not cause problems when it isn&#039;t his turn to shoot things. Easily one of the most tolerable assassins I&#039;ve had to work with.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

=Character Information=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summary===&lt;br /&gt;
Intercession is a cyborg bodyguard. Designed to appear non-threatening, while being resistant to most antipersonnel weapons, they are a prototype being tested out in the Seattle underground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Goals===&lt;br /&gt;
Defend team leaders: Intercession was made to defend people. That is its goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Further the goals of MCT: MCT created Intercession. Of course he wants whats best for it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
Intercession is part of an MCT project to create a line of easily manufacturable bodyguards, who could take significant damage but also were overlookable and could blend in without giving their purpose away. The project is still in the early phases, and due to the demands for field testing, some of the prototypes were given lease to be used for shadowwork as supposed independents. Intercession was assigned to Seattle, and quickly gotten Shadowhaven clearance so that he could perform runs and gather data to further the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Narrative Significant Qualities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Positive===&lt;br /&gt;
Limited-personality conditioning (&#039;&#039;Cyber-singularity Seeker, Groupthink, Trust Data not Lore&#039;&#039;): Intercession&#039;s development was carefully guided to ensure that he could behave correctly both in social situations and under pressure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Negative===&lt;br /&gt;
Support cyborg (&#039;&#039;Social Stress, Buddy System, No Man Left Behind, Designated Omega&#039;&#039;): Intercession was conditioned to be loyal and respond promptly to orders. As a result of this, he also suffers immense separation anxiety and has greatly hindered independent decision making.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Denied personhood (&#039;&#039;Records on file, Electronic witness, Limited Corporate Sin&#039;&#039;): While given more freedom then most corporate cyborgs, Intercession is still seen as a tool by MCT, his interactions are logged, and he has no ability to express independent desire to his superiors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Run History==&lt;br /&gt;
{{RunHistory}}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- You do not need to edit this section. The above stuff will auto-generate a list of runs based on AARs. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Matrix Search Table==&lt;br /&gt;
{{SearchTable|&lt;br /&gt;
|LowResult=Intentionally putting yourself in the way of an oncoming object&lt;br /&gt;
|MidResult=A mefeed profile under the name of Richard Soloman. Its almost exclusively pictures of jellyfish.&lt;br /&gt;
|HighResult=All of Richard&#039;s posts are from under a year ago. It&#039;s very clearly a new, if well designed, alias. &lt;br /&gt;
}}&lt;br /&gt;
==Shadow Community Table==&lt;br /&gt;
{{SearchTable|&lt;br /&gt;
|LowThreshold=1&lt;br /&gt;
|LowResult=Most of Intercession&#039;s previous teammates have nothing bad to say about him, noting that he&#039;s polite and works well with teams, with the occasional complaint being about a lack of initiative. &lt;br /&gt;
|MidThreshold=3&lt;br /&gt;
|MidResult=Intercession is apparently fearless, as he shows no hesitation whatsoever in shielding his allies with his body. He&#039;s apparently also invulnerable, because he almost never walks away with anything more major then scratches, even when unarmored.&lt;br /&gt;
|HighThreshold=5&lt;br /&gt;
|HighResult=Intercession doesn&#039;t appear to own a car, but has been seen getting in and out of unmarked black vans near meets. No one&#039;s quite sure where he goes in them.&lt;br /&gt;
}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Assensing Table==&lt;br /&gt;
You see nothing. Intercetion lacks an aura.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==SINs==&lt;br /&gt;
Richard Solomon, rank 5 fake Ucas with armor, bodyguard, augmentation, cyberdeck, and firearm licenses.&lt;br /&gt;
==Appearance==&lt;br /&gt;
Intercession&#039;s shell was designed specifically to appear demure and non-threatening. He&#039;s 5&#039;7&amp;quot;, white with pale blond hair and bright blue eyes &lt;br /&gt;
=== Clothing ===&lt;br /&gt;
Intercession has a fondness for the color blue, wearing clothes of the color whenever he can.&lt;br /&gt;
===Matrix Persona===&lt;br /&gt;
Usually just his physical appearance, although the proportions are off, as if an attempt to make something chibi, without understanding what makes chibi cute.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Character Plot Hooks==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here are characteristics of the character that GMs may take advantage of to add complications to runs, or to otherwise use when in use. If you want to use them in unrelated to runs, please ask first. &lt;br /&gt;

==Note==&lt;br /&gt;
I am completely fine with long term consequences for my characters, as long as it doesn&#039;t feel unannounced or forced. Long term changes to a character make more opportunities for interesting roleplay, and so don&#039;t be afraid to give them out if they are deserved.&lt;br /&gt;

==Summary==&lt;br /&gt;
The Draco Foundation asks the runners help in uncovering another piece of the sevenfold staff, this one in South America. This, of course, rapidly derails.&lt;br /&gt;

==Player After Action Reports (AARs)==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Chameleon]]:An infiltrator caught exfiltrating. A Face that violates the most fundamental rule of negotiating in the shadows. Sigh. Thank the maker for great team mates. I owe Thunder a trip to Buenos Aires. I&#039;ll add the sanitized events here in Argentina to my file for [[Thalia Sandoval]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Thunder]]:&#039;&#039;Dear Diary, the past weeks have been extreme. I&#039;ve previously had bounties on my head, Omega Dawn on my back, and Europol putting enough depleted uranium in me make me go horizontal, but this was another league.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The most memorable and paradox thing was fooling an old dragon that we hadn&#039;t stolen its magical artiffact, followed by a friendlyish handshake with said dragon, sealing a death pact that would destroy Chameleon and me if we wouldn&#039;t kill the Black Panter within 90 days. Being kissed by death in such a way made me apreciate every second of life and my friends / colleagues Huntress and Chameleon.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;PS. Remember to work on social skills. I didn&#039;t manage to show Huntress and Chameleon my apreciation for their company and being there for me. Huntress really didn&#039;t have to stick around to help us and Chameleon was willing to nobly sacrifice his life to save Huntress and me, and I didn&#039;t even say thank you. I should at least write them a card, but what should I write?&amp;quot;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
