==Summary==
In which the runners are recruited by the City Watch to rescue a reserve member from organleggers – FOR JUSTICE!

==The Meet==
The JUSTICE SIGNAL is sent out, and our heroes answer its call: CAPTAIN FREEFALL is out on patrol in Puyallup, hopping on the JUSTICE COPTOR (his Dustoff drone) and heading to City Watch HQ as soon as he gets the signal on his JUSTICE PHONE; King Beef is training with his coach/fixer/Horizon talent agent when he receives the news that he’s been tapped as the newest star of Superheroes of Seattle; Nogitsune and Sp4rks meanwhile are somewhat surprised to see that they have been contacted directly by [[Bold]] based on their reputations and potential Shadow Heroes in the making. All are excited at the prospect of a grand pink mohawk comic book-style adventure, and make their way to Watch HQ – there they are met by Clemmett and Martha, who just nods as the Captain and his newest batch of recruits hop in the elevator and descend to the Horizon-funded headquarters.

Bold meets with the team when they arrive, explaining that the Watch is currently over-taxed dealing with a) a totally-real-and-not-staged bank robbery, and b) the escape of System Crash from Watchhouse Containment, after the nefarious cybercriminal somehow compromised security of the new JUSTICE COMPUTER (a Horizon AI). Freefall expresses alarm at this, but Bold assures him that all is well in hand, and that his aid is needed elsewhere. Explaining the job, he tells them that a reserve member of the Watch (Archangel, a FLR with distinctive cyber-wings who acts as a Friendly Neighborhood Superhero for the neighborhoods around the ACHE Downtown) has been taken prisoner.

Showing the team clips that the JUSTICE COMPUTER pulled from a Horizon Mini-Zep floating Downtown, the team sees Archangel on patrol before a van pulls up and a pair of cybered-up trolls overpower and force him into it before driving off. The Watch as identified them as members of the Disassemblers, but do not know where they have taken Archangel and need the team to rescue him before he is harvested for his ware (which would no doubt damage the Watch’s reputation, if they cannot keep one of their own from being targeted by common criminals). For their aid, Bold offers the team the Standard Hero-ing Fee of 10 grand each (he already knows to donate Freefall’s to charity), which they accept.

==The Plan==
Naturally, before the heroics can begin, the team need to pick their superhero names and get suited up with costumes and simrigs (this is, naturally, a non-negotiable part of the job). Captain Freefall already has his name and identity picked out, so he helps the others with theirs while Bold and his comrades go to prioritize staged heroics over stopping the actual supervillain on the loose. King Beef kits up in his FBA, adding flashy accents and dubbing himself BEEF LORD! (exclamation included) Nogitsune dons a fox mask and kimono and calls himself Zenko (“good fox”), while Sp4rks suits up in a jumpsuit and redesigns his matrix persona as CAPTAIN CYBERSPACE (as everyone knows, all superheroes are captains).

After everyone is properly sim-rigged up and equipped with a trio of CU^3s to capture their antics for Horizon, they emerge from Watch HQ to find that night has fallen. Zenko calls up his GMC Armadillo to serve as the team’s heroic transport, while Freefall boards the JUSTICE COPTOR to fly while standing on top in heroic pose. Making their way towards Downtown, Captain Cyberspace hits the matrix to do a bit of digging and find out about Archangel and where the Disassemblers might have taken him. He is able to find the hero has quite a social media presence, but seems to be rather more down-to-earth than most of the Watch (a real-deal “stops muggings, busts drug dealers, saves kittens from trees” type of hero that seems well-respected by the locals). However, despite an outcry of support from those who have seen the videos of his capture taken by bystanders, no one seems to know where he was taken.

En-route, Freefall calls up his contact [[Carly Reeves]], his contact and fellow co-worker at KSAF, to ask her if she has any leads on the case; he rolls an astounding 9 hits on her knowledge rolls, and by an astonishing coincidence it turns out that she is actively investigating a potential lead which may point them in the right direction. She agrees to meet them Downtown, and one star-wipe later the team is converging on her position, with Freefall descending from the sky with his cape billowing in the wind (the jaded reporter just rolls her eyes, knowing it could have been so much more bombastic – thankfully she does not manage to identify him as her mild-mannered co-worker Steve Streamer).

Carley tells the team that for the last few weeks she has been investigating rumors of an organleggers clinic hidden in the foundations of the ACHE, and that an informant has given her a lead on an entrance. According to her intel, a coffee shop on the third floor of the arcology mall houses a secret elevator – unfortunately while she is very B&E capable, the team are hardly dressed for infiltration and will need to find another way inside (she asks that they at least try not to wreck up the place before she can get footage, seeking it for a story exposing the complacency of the Metroplex Guard in allowing this to happen – Freefall says he will send her his own footage, covering the cost of the favor for the intel).

Zenko rolls his smuggler knowledge and determines that the most likely route into the ACHE is through the old tunnels in the Ork Underground that were used to help evacuate prisoners during the Shutdown. Unfortunately none of the team have any Skraacha contacts, but Freefall has a bit of rep with the Yellow Lotus Triad who are just about the next best thing in the smuggling/trafficking world; he calls up his fixer Argent, who has enough syndicate connections and rolled decently enough on his networking roll that he is able to put him into contact with Liao Qing, the Yellow Lotus’ point-man for smuggling through the OU. Freefall is able to parlay his rep with the triad into a favor, and Liao agrees to send a van that will get them through the Skraacha-controlled section of the OU and into the foundation of the ACHE; he asks why they would ever want to go inside a place like that, and Freefall uses his JUSTICE AURA to send along a simsense file which combined with a leadership roll is enough to convince Liao of his conviction, and perhaps moving the smugger to rethink a few of his choices in life.

==The Run==
After kitting up with radiation-proof cloaks, the team heads to the gentrified part of the OU to find an unmarked van waiting to take them deeper underground and through the old smuggling tunnels into the bowels of the ACHE. BEEF LORD! sits in the driver’s seat while they make their way through Skraacha territory, and ends up spotted by a fanboy who strides up to ask for an autograph (referring to him by his ring name of King Beef, definitively connecting his hero identity to his runner handle), asking him about his outfit and receiving some inspirational words in return. BEEF LORD! spends edge in his leadership roll and mentions that he may be returning to the ring soon, and the excited fan runs off.

The remotely-piloted van makes its way through the OU and into a 20 year old excavated tunnel that ends with a hole that has been blasted into the ACHE’s foundations by enterprising smugglers. Once they can go no further, the team exits their transport and continues on foot with the Dustoff drone hovering behind (as they have a man in potentially critical condition to rescue). Inside the lower levels of the ACHE, Captain Cyberspace contends with the local static while the Awakened team members deal with the palpable aura of lingering suffering from the horrors of the Deus’ experiments and the collective trauma of the residents imposing a negative background count on them.

The team explore the dark, ominous tunnels and get some great shots for a found footage horror trideo in the event that they don’t return from their descent into Hell. Carly, having managed to infiltrate from above, is able to locate the clinic and send one of her own drones to get a bit of footage and map it out prior to their wrecking up the place; she sends along its approximate location and the number of the elevator shaft that the team will need to climb up before making her way out of the line of fire. Navigating their way through the veritable maze of abandoned tunnels (with Captain Cyberspace marking their trail so that they can return without getting lost), the heroes are able to find the proper shaft and begin to make their ascent to the chop shop. Freefall and Zenko brought gecko-tip gloves for the task, but BEEF LORD has a more direct solution in mind – he grabs Captain Cyberspace, fires up his jetpack, and rockets up the elevator-less shaft, alerting everyone above to their arrival in the process.

Everyone rolls for surprise and initiative, and combat begins with BEEF LORD! kicking open the elevator doors to reveal a pair of cyber-troll guards in security armor ready to frag up any wannabe-heroes, as well as a ghoul nurse running down the hallway to inform the boss of what is happening. While BEEF LORD! engages in fist-vs-spurs with the cyber-trolls, Captain Cyberspace activates his EAARS and spots out the clinic’s decker, proceeding to go-big-or-go-home a trio of marks onto him and fry the poor gnawer spider before he can put out a call for backup. Zenko remains stealthily in the shaft to set up his rifle and put down one of the cyber-trolls, while Freefall makes a characteristically-grand entrance by launching himself at the fleeing ghoul; he is intercepted by the other cyber-troll, but manages a counterstrike and uses the force to push himself at his target, scoring a glancing blow that knocks them to the ground before being literally stabbed in the back by cyber-spurs.

The “nurse” calls for help from “Doc”, and a moment later the supervillain of the hour reveals himself by smashing blow-ing his way through the nearby wall – “Doc” is in fact “Doktor Death”, a hulking minotaur mutaqua working for Tamanous who is even larger than BEEF LORD! The Big Bad just nods to his minion to finish off Freefall while he handles the rest, and everyone audibly gulps as he approaches. BEEF LORD! is able to just manage to dodge an incoming haymaker, returning one of his own that successfully makes contact, though the infected minotaur shrugs off the electric punch and gloats about how it tickled. Freefall activates his JUSTICE AURA (fey-touched edge-powered leadership) and attempts to talk the evil-doers into submission – the cyber-troll is cowed into inaction by the power of JUSTICE, but the mutaqua just cackles at such foolishness as he shrugs off blows from BEEF LORD! and Zenko.

As the screams of Archangel echo throughout the clinic, Captain Cyberspace is able to successfully trap the ghoul nurses and cut off their avenues of escape. With his opponent no longer willing to fight, Freefall leaps to the aid of his fellow hero, using Noble Sacrifice to take on his pain once he gets within sight. As Zenko shoots off one of Doktor Death’s horns, the baddie grabs BEEF LORD! in a clinch, lifting him up by the neck and preparing to drop him down the elevator shaft; noticing the jetpack, the mutaqua just grins and jumps down into the darkness. Captain Cyberspace is in no mood for this sort of thing, so he burst fires down at the infected menace and actually manages to not hit his comrade with EAARS engaged. Having torn out a sizable chunk of the boss monster’s skull, BEEF LORD! lands another electric punch before using the jetpack to pile drive his enemy into the ground, jetting upwards and saving himself at the last moment just as a spray of blood obscures his faceplate.

==Aftermath==
With the supervillain “dead” (come on, it was a Disney Villain Death and they Never Saw The Body – he’ll be back for the sequel), BEEF LORD! ascends back to the clinic with his rocket pack to assist with cleanup. Captain Cyberspace is able to pull files conclusively connecting it with Tamanous, which he passes along to KSAF, and while he and Freefall render medical aid to Archangel (successfully saving his partially cut-off cyber-wings from septic infection in the process) the others restrain the unconscious cyber-trolls and coral the ghoul staff before deciding what should be done with them. BEEF LORD! and Zenko are fans of the expedient solution (i.e. murder), while the Captains (Freefall moreso than Cyberspace) are more hesitant (especially on-camera with the kids watching at home).

Archangel awakens concurs with his fellow super-hero, saying that they should be given a chance to learn the error of their ways, though Captain Cyberspace remains a bit torn with the idea of just releasing them to go cause more harm in the world. BEEF LORD! solves the dilemma by calling up his fixer, The Man, who asks him why the frag he’s bothering to do something like this; he just tells him that he has a bunch of bleeding hearts here, and that it could be good for his image. The Man grumbles, but puts his networking skill to use, and with 7 hits is able to use the Inter-Fixer Network (something I decided on the spot probably exists, if only to facilitate the spreading of notoriety among runners) and put the crew in touch with Amelie and Jean-Baptiste to take the ghouls off their hands and give them a new lease on life with the infected cabal. Archangel thanks them for their aid, and returns to his patrol.

Patting eachother on the back for a job-well-done, the team return to Watch HQ and are congratulated by Bold and company for their heroics. Handing over their footage and simsense files, Captain Cyberspace gets the idea to ask for a bonus, seeing as how they went into the ACHE and fought an actual monster. After edging his negotiation roll, he is able to squeeze a bit more cash out of the Watch (“hazard pay in exchange for exceptional footage” – though it’s rather R-rated, Horizon can spin it off into “City Watch After Dark” for the teen and young adult crowd), and everyone leaves satisfied.

==Rewards==

* 6 karma
* 2 CDP
* +1 City Watch rep

==Summary==
Jack gets a promising-looking vessel!

==Background==
During the progression of the metaplot [[Hail to the Pumpking]] Jack's begun getting increasing amounts of pushback. He's decided to switch his approach in terms of coping with the Sixth World as a result.

==The Meet==
Jack is available as always and offers the team two potential options: scout three possible migration sites for the Starscreamers or capture a mutaqua for him. This creates some discord among the runners, since Babylon most certainly doesn't want Jack to get a hold of such a thing. Eventually, however, they appear to decide to go through with it, partially because Babylon's ally spirit, Gomorrah, persuades her to go with it. Legwork begins and thankfully some of the runners know [[Nameless]], others know [[Lamashtu]], Babylon also knows [[Chaplain Carmilla]], all of which will help do the legwork for the initial scouting operations in case the hunt goes bad.

Babylon's also been under the Renraku Arcology where the mutaqua's been sighted, so she knows a way in already. While the rest are preparing their assault and wait for deliveries, Babylon attempts contact with [[Mr. Herenight]] to keep him up to date on the situation. He does eventually get back in touch by arranging a meet in Aztechnology's pyramid mall in Seattle, having been elsewhere the last few days. He invites Babylon to a cafe where he's having a cup of coffee(?) with an Aztechnology blood mage and emphasizes that the creature must die, no compromises. Admittedly, he does it in his usual condescending manner.

==The Run==
Once the legwork is done, the team uses [[Ghaz]] and his underground smuggling routes to drive underground. The route takes a while and on the way the team talks a bit more about how to do the job. Once they reach the location, however, and enter a bunker tunnel, they hear a roar and some vent clamoring. What follows is King Beef speedballing far more drugs than any living being should be able to consume and a pandemonium of ghoul punching, spirit summoning, fireballs and lightning storms in closed doors. As the team goes through the released corridor's worth of ghouls, King Beef spots a dreadlocked assassin cleaving through the ghouls on the other side and beelining for the mutaqua. As the infected beast is hurled across his sightline, King Beef's only exhilarated by the challenge.

As the team finally reaches the exit where the Mutaqua escapes, King Beef forms a living obstacle to stop the assassin, which had gone invisible, from escaping. Unfortunately, the Mutaqua returns and ambushes him from behind with a dropkick, followed by a colossal Slash spell that hammers him like a truck ramming at full speed. Even then, he manages to counter by caving in the mutaqua's face, resulting in a double knockout. The fight's over sooner than expected and Babylon Sunbeams the Mutaqua almost immediately. To everyone's astonishment, the abomination survives the first Sunbeam, its flesh and calcified scales charring and burning with ethereal fire as a result. Before she gets to unleash the next one, however, the violent change in background count combined with Swerve and Noble bashing Babylon to save the job target cause the spirit she's channeled to leave, causing her to fall unconscious near-immediately. Using KB's commlink, the remaining two call Jack and within fifteen seconds the spirit materializes in the area, glad to see the fruits of labor realized.

==Aftermath==
While afterwards, Babylon and King Beef are recovering from some serious injuries, fortunately none of them are infected. Herenight leaves Babylon a handwritten letter, since the assassin saw everything and he read the report from Aztechnology; the mutaqua surviving wasn't her fault and he won't blame her for getting betrayed. Jack's also more grateful than ever and offers to invite her into his plans to inhabit the mutaqua, supposedly somewhere near Yellowstone in Sioux. Everyone else gets paid generously, whether it's prime Starscreamer armor, foci or karma.

==Rewards==
* '''For King Beef:''' Starscreamers Assault Armor (Heavy Security Armor w/ Fire Resist R6, Gel Packs, Chem Seal, RPC R4), 9,000 Nuyen & 4 Karma
* '''For Babylon:''' 24,000 Nuyen, R6 Banishing Focus (Fingerless studded black leather gloves with flaming pumpkins on the back of each hand), 1 Loyalty on Pump King Jack

* '''For Noble:''' Rapier upgraded into R4 Weapon Focus, 11 Karma
* 2 CDP
* 1 Starscreamers Reputation

===[[Swerve]]===

Well, this was a fragging disaster. One that I sort of came out on top of, for whatever minor consolation that is I suppose. When I saw Babylon at the meet, I was pretty fearful, I knew that we wouldn't get along. I was not expecting anything like what happened though. I still don't understand fully why she did what she did, why she was so secretive. I obviously get her reluctance to give the mutaqua over to Jack, but it didn't seem to fit her privacy. Why couldn't she just talk to us about it? Communicate?

I let my greed and paranoia affect me too much I'll admit. While this new focus is certainly nice, I think I regret what my come in the future. Not to mention handing over that Mutaqua was kind of a something I feel bad to do to another infected, even if he seemed like an asshole. I might have made a true enemy for life with Babylon, but I'm going to try to patch things up as best I can. Thankfully no one was killed.

I will say though, I still feel a deep desire to know who she was communicating with. It's clear that she is connected with some big players. I had a momentary urge to raid her mind, I'm somewhat ashamed to admit. Thankfully Gomorrah's presence was enough to shake me from such a abhorrent idea. I still did compile as much information as I could though. That infiltrator has to be somewhat unique. Perhaps Lamashtu will piece together what I couldn't. She certainly is intelligent and resourceful. While I'm still fearful of what our relationship will lead to, I honestly do enjoy learning from and working with her. While she's certainly prickly, she is fair in a strange way. Not to mention, her methods are showing results. My training is molding me into something less well... terrible! I might just be feeling stockholm syndrome, but I think she's even starting to warm up to me, a least a little bit.

[[King Beef]]
Man Babylon had a lot of mind changing after we got thr job and she asked me to lie too. Not that big of a deal long as I got to fight our target. And fight did I, ghouls filled the halls and we killed them. Our target came at me with some big magic but I got that last flash of awareness boxers get before going down and was able to bring him down with me. Disappointed I didn't take his head completely off in one punch though.

==Summary==
In which [[Cecelia Cross]] hires runners to prove that turnabout ''is'' in fact fairplay.

==Background==
During the events of [[Party Quarrel]], several runners ended up burning down Cecelia Cross' manor while attempting to steal a scale model of Cross Applied Technologies' first extra territorial location in Quebec. The model was stolen and given to [[Alexander-James Brodrick Johnson III]], who has been spending the last several months adding bits to the model in order to make it "cooler". Including [[Chasing the Dragon|A statue of Dunkelzahn]], [[The Most Urban Brawl|an Azlaner chalice]], and [[Evergreen Kingdom|a model rollercoaster]]. These have been assembled into a monstrous diorama and prepared for a presentation that Brodie J is planning on throwing on the 20th.

Thanks to the help of [[Duchess]] and [[Voltage]], and her connection with [[Babylon]], Cecelia Cross learned about this presentation that he has advertised as "The Rebirth of Cross Applied Technologies" in [[The Most Urban Brawl 2: The Metagame]], and cannot allow this insult to stand. So to this end, she has decided to hire Shadowrunners to return the same gesture that has started out this feud to begin with.

==The Meet==
Each of the runners is called by Cecelia Cross. [[Black Samurai]] and [[Vip3r]] in a coffee shop where they had been having a nice discussion with Black Samurai's sister about her new internship with Horizon, under the tutelage of [[Ace Powers]], working on some strange trideo project called "Fish & Unicorns vs Shadowrunners!".

[[King Beef]] is contacted after spending some time with Artemis from [[The Pantheon]], hunting a Juggernaut in the Snohomish Wilds. While King Beef gets broken in half by the creature, his spirit pal's regeneration power being conferred that keeps him from dying, before Artemis takes out the Juggernaut and King Beef is called by Cecelia, inviting him to E-Vue.

[[Babylon]] is called by Cecelia while spending time with Gomorrah, her ally spirit. On the way from Puyallup to Renton, Babylon is stopped by a Lone Star cruiser, and nearly crashes into it before stopping. Charles Dreyfus, Babylon's parole officer steps out and holds her up while giving her a speeding ticket and interrogating her about her plans for the rest of the day. Gomorrah tries to take a look at Charles' commlink, but is almost spotted. Once he's inconvenienced Babylon enough, he gives her a speeding ticket and sends her on her way, telling her that she must stop by the Lone Star office at 7 AM for the next three days and spend hours there as a part of their new "Parole service program." Delayed by about a half hour, Babylon sends Gomorrah ahead to E-Vue before starting on her bike again.

Upon arriving at E-Vue, the runners find the club as popular as ever, with a line around the corner. While Black Samurai attempts to get into the line, Vip3r drags him to the front of the line where [[Vee-Jay]] is in his usual position. The Troll doctorate student is too distracted talking to Gomorrah about the societal problems of the world, such as career criminals and student debt. King Beef also approaches the other troll, sizing him up in case he is attempted to be bounced, but an emergency is averted by the arrival of Cecelia's bodyguard who brings the runners inside, along with a tray of extremely expensive drinks. They move upstairs to the private room that serves as Cecelia's office. The runners take a seat and are given drinks while Cecelia explains that it is time for her plans to finally come to fruition.

Cecelia explains that Brodie J had stolen an important heirloom from her home when her house was burned down, and that she wants it back. She shows an advertisement that Brodie J made, inviting many people to a Downtown presentation on May 20th, claiming that it'll be the "Rebirth of Cross Applied Technologies." The runners are meant to steal the heirloom before the 20th from Brodie's home on Council Island, and Cross also expresses a desire to see his home burned down. She promises roughly 100k nuyen each in return for this service, or the equivalent in hardware and electronics. She expresses her desire that no one be killed if it can be helped, and makes it clear that Brodie J isn't to be killed at all.

==The Plan==
Leaving the meet and the club, Babylon calls up the [[Ancients]] and finds a safehouse near the Council Island bridge. Setting up there, the runners discuss their plans. The team ask Cecelia to give some up-front payment in the form of Rating 6 Fake SINs with some licenses so that they don't risk burning those that are connected to their real lives. The runners discuss many plans, including dropping from a plane, destroying the bridge, infiltrating via an emergency smuggling route that they learn about through [[Ether]], or even just trying to get Brodie J to burn his own house down.

Vip3r dives into the Matrix and finds information about the security measures of Council Island, as well as the Rating 7 host that the Johnson household is packing. She also learns that there is a full staff, and a consignment of guards that stick around the premises. The technomancer also dives into the schedules of the house, finding out that Brodie has a sister named Rachel Legaia Johnson, and that she and his father, Alexander-James Brodrick Johnson II, would be coming to the presentation on the 20th and that Johnson II would be coming in on the 18th to stay at the home.

Eventually the team attempt to risk Occam's razor and just call Brodie J to attempt to get him on their side. Babylon calls the young corpkid and finds him busy at work, and most shockingly: ''sober''. Able to have a lucid conversation without referring to himself in the third person, Babylon learns that he's taken the week off from his duties at E-Vue to work on this secret project that he's planning on revealing on the 20th. Though he's cagey about the details, knowing the relationship that Cecelia and Babylon have. Babylon takes a stab in the dark, using her connection with both Cecelia and Brodie to try and get the two of them to talk with Brodie in this state. However as they find out a few hours later, while Brodie J did go to the club, he did so after getting high and reverting to the Brodie J that people know and love. A verbal lashing from Babylon later, and the Black Mage is suddenly very interested in the arson and larceny that they are about to commit. However she also makes one last plea to Brodie to attempt to communicate with Cecelia while sober, putting forth all the effort that she can to make herself clear.

While Babylon leaves the safehouse to return to E-Vue and speak with Cecelia, Vip3r takes the time to search out Brodie J's commlink while it isn't slaved to the Matrix Host. Diving into the stylish opium-den like core of the Caliban that Brodie carries, she found several files protected by data bombs. While able to manipulate the files and disarm the majority of the data bombs, Vip3r grabs what she can before being faced with a Rating 9 data bomb on a secret folder. Diving into it and beating the bomb with the sheer force of her luck, Vip3r discovers several Federated-Boeing top-secret files, alongside one labeled the "Cross Revitalization Plan" that seems to have the backing of Brodie J's father.

Babylon wakes up and is forced to go to the Lone Star offices to deal with her parole officer and the many holes that she is being forced to jump through. Meanwhile Vip3r looks through the files and discovers a bunch of materials that are being shipped to Brodie's home, including 700 kegs of various alcohols being sent to the home. Deciding to attempt to hide themselves as delivery staff, Vip3r jumps into the host and starts moving files around. Stopping briefly to attempt to lift some paydata the team can use to pay [[Freya]] for her assistance in forging the documents that were used to get their covers in place.

Deciding that the run would be pulled off on the 17th, the team spent some more time discussing possibilities. Black Samurai calls [[Informer]] to look into Brodie's sister and see why she's in town. The free spirit takes some time and comes back to reveal that Rachel is only there to take a look at whatever project her brother has been working on. Curious as to why Brodie's father even cares, the runners look into things and find that Alexander-James II has been buying up Cross Applied Technologies stock and telling the board of directors of Federated Boeing to do the same. Two days from the run, Babylon contacts Brodie J again, who is once more sober and ready to talk seriously. Using information that Vip3r was able to pull off during the dive into the files that they acquired, she convinces him that he needs to turn on his father and company and choose Cecelia. Babylon explains that if he doesn't go to Cecelia right away, she's going to be convinced that he was involved and it will destroy their relationship forever. Brodie J agrees, and says that he'll talk to Cecelia, and the call ends.

==The Run==
The team try to call Cecelia, only to find that she isn't answering her commlink. The runners freak out about this and Babylon sends a spirit to go search for the wayward J while they load up on the cargo truck to bring kegs to Brodie J's house. Meanwhile King Beef goes to the SeaTac airport and boards a commercial flight that will take him over Council Island. As the runners approach the island there is some trouble where their new fake SINs are not holding up to scrutiny, but with some convincing crying and lying from Vip3r and Babylon, they're able to get onto the island properly and go to Brodie J's house. Once there, Babylon projects and tracks down Cecelia, who is with Brodie J underneath the ACHE, where Cecelia has attached herself to the UV Host that was previously explored by Haven runners in [[The Deepest Dive]].

King Beef, while in the air, waits until they are over Council Island and gets out of his seat, breaking open the door of the plane and jumping out, having a spirit bring him his drug cocktail as well as the full body armor and jetpack. One of the flight attendants also falls out of the plane and has to be rescued by Babylon using one of her bound spirits to levitate the woman slowly to the ground. Babylon uses the rest of her spirits to protect the people on the plane as well as to mitigate the damage and get the plane to land safely in Lake Washington, while King Beef plummets into the fire station below. King Beef begins a rampage of terror, fighting off HTR, fire fighters, and all other challenges while the team at Brodie's manor used invisibility to sneak Black Samurai into the private room where the diorama was. Using Smart Corrosives to burn through the material around the model they are there for. However when one of the mansion guards points a gun at Vip3r, Black Sam comes back to try and strike him down, leaving Babylon to have to go in and steal the model.

Black Sam begins engaging the guards while Vip3r hacks into the host, disabling the sprinklers somewhat and forcing open the door of a panic room where Rachel is being kept. Soon Tee and Vee join the fray and begin to fight with Black Samurai, using their coordinated combat to fight off the skilled swordsman. Babylon calls Gomorrah back with her from the ACHE and the two of them set up a series of compressed gasses and a torch to explode, while heading out of the building. Babylon pulls the fire alarm which causes the malfunctioning and sparking sprinklers to spray water which then explode, catching the house on fire. Babylon quickly escapes out of a window and runs back to the truck where Vip3r is supporting the other runners. Turning the technomancer into a bird and sending the ally spirit along with her, Babylon and Black Sam watch as Tee and Vee stop fighting and get out of the house. The team call Cascade to come pick them up, and go and pick up King Beef from his position of killing a bunch of HTR goons. Using Little Smoke, Cascade uses Concealment to hide the runners as her helicopter goes down to the lake and uses it's submersible nature to hide beneath the waves while waiting for the heat to die down.

==Aftermath==
Having secured the model and returning it to Cecelia, she pays the team, as well as informing Babylon that she knows the location of her cousin, and that more on that would be coming soon. The team that desire it board a plane to take them to Quebec, and a job well-done is celebrated by all.

===[[Black Samurai]]===
Babylon seemed competent and Vip3r got us into council island single-handedly. Nicely done. King Beef is an absolute liability except that he isn't. You'd think a Minotaur jonesing for K10 would be the least reliable person on the team, and yet I was the most unreliable person.

Frag.

I don't mind the fact that I'll come to Vip3r's aid when a gun is in her face and the hammer gets pulled. I mind that I let it cloud my judgment and that I didn't trust her to talk her way out of it. She's incredibly competent...but here we are.

Today I got to actually play out a scenario that had gone through my mind several times. What would happen if you were to battle Tee and Vee? They gave as good as they got. I only ended up with a few staples, and Tee did the same. I never really got to dealing with Vee before [[Alexander-James Brodrick Johnson III|Brody friggin J]] called them off.

I was glad I didn't have to kill them. Which is--like--really weird. That's the second time I remember that happening; the first time was when I was battling [[Kakei Steve|Steve's]] bodyguard. On one hand, You could think I have a soft spot for bodyguards because that's what I am at this point--a glorified bodyguard. On the other hand, isn't that literally the exact same spot these shmucks I cut in half tend to be?

I'd like to celebrate my windfall, but most of it's just ripping out old ware and putting newer, shinier versions in. So, as [[Cecelia Cross|Cecelia]]'s auto-doc sews, what else do I have to think about?

Shit. [[Alexander-James Brodrick Johnson III|Brody]] has given me a few of my best paying jobs. Maybe I shouldn't have stabbed his guards. OH NO THAT IS THE PAIN EDITOR ON MY GOD THAT HURTS PLEASE HIT ME WITH THE ANes...an...mmm sleepy juice.

===[[Vip3r]]===
Well, I certainly didn't expect my plan to get into Cecelia's good graces to take me ''here.'' I don't do super risky revenge plots, but... for that kind of paycheck, and Cecelia's favor? ...Frag, maybe I've ''already'' sold out to her.

I'm legitimately ''shocked'' that this plan worked. I'm used to locking everything down and having enough backups that every course of action I decide to take has to be completely watertight, and this was ''not'' that. There were so many points where we had so much potential to fail, and there were multiple times on this job when I thought we were going to. But ''somehow,'' all of us--including King Beef, who jumped out of a fragging ''AIRPLANE--''not only survived, but made it out at the end with our new fake SINs that we were fully expecting to burn. I'm also a little amazed that Babylon's communication with Brodie J came in clutch for us the way it did; looks like she learned her lesson from [[Aching & Festering|that last job,]] and I may have been a little too harsh on her in the time since.

[[King Beef]]
Man this team sure liked to plan, I got so bored I started buying and then folding bicycles for a workout since they didn't have any weights around.
Oh MAN this K-10 addiction really gsts me craving at the worst time. Guess i was a good enough liar to get through Airport security and onto the plane, luckily I got to do some fighting and a be a distraction while the team did the job. Those 3 seemed kinda soft but whatever, I had a fuckin blast, downed a plane, fought a whole HTR squad and got a free chopper ride out. This is the drek I live for.

==Summary==
In which the team are asked by [[Saint Nick]] to hunt down “Krampus”.

==The Meet==
The team are contacted and told to meet at Santa’s Workshop in Snohomish – everyone manages to make it there without any serious issues, though Rooster taking public transit and thus has to walk through the snow towards the sprawl outskirts for a bit after reaching the end of the line (luckily Skimmer spots him while driving by and gives him a lift). Arriving, the team notice an old VW van belonging to [[Jerry]] parked off to the side of Saint Nick’s warehouse, but roll it in with the general weirdness of the place (Charon and King Beef have worked for Nick before and know what to expect, while the rest of the team grows increasingly flabbergasted at the madness that ensues).

Inside, Saint Nick greets the team with milk and cookies, which he serves to them while explaining the job – he tells them that an “old colleague” of his has come to town, which is bad news for all the “bad children” in Seattle. Relay quickly loses patience with trying to get any actually reliable info out of the chiphead, letting Charon handle most of the facing duties as the vampire patiently walk through the situation and learn what they can about what he wishes from them.

Eventually Nick leads the team into his factory floor, where Jerry waits, enjoying a bit of deepweed to calm his nerves. The team has little luck getting cogent information out of the sasquatch, especially since none of them know ASL and they have to use Nick as an interpreter, but eventually they are shown a photo of a savaged adolescent sasquatch and learn that something called “Krampus” is terrorizing Jerry’s friends. Nick tells the team that he wants them to drive Krampus away (he doesn’t believe that killing him is possible) and stop the attacks on the sasquatches – a task for which he will pay them 20k nuyen, each. Rooster is overjoyed with this promise, and the rest of the team is satisfied enough to go out into the middle of the snowy wilderness after a target which they have no actual information about.

==The Plan==
Relay and Skimmer, ever the consummate professionals, are already out the door and heading to Relay’s truck for the trip. King Beef and Rooster meanwhile are enamored with the drug-smoking sasquatch and wish to take a ride with Jerry instead. Charon manages to convince King Beef to see reason, and Jerry catches on to what she is doing, encouraging Rooster via grunts and warbles to stay with his friends and providing Charon with a physical map with the approximate location of the sasquatches circled. Bringing the map to Relay (who starts using his orientation system to calculate a route), she hops in the cab while King Beef and Rooster get into the storage module on the Armadillo to hotbox it with deepweed.

Driving into the woods, Relay is able to navigate the snow-covered wilderness while Charon and Skimmer keep an eye out for potential threats; Charon spots a large number of wild animals fleeing from the oncoming vehicle, while Skimmer is able to catch a glimpse of a sasquatch watching them from the woods. He informs the team and they send the footage from his image link to Jerry for verification, but it is too blurry to tell whether or not this is their quarry. Meanwhile, King Beef is seeing the astral for the first time and freaking out, with Rooster providing trip-sitting services. Relay deploys a drone with an ultrasound sensor to try to locate hidden targets, which incidentally drives away all the bats in the area – all but one which waits patiently and watches them go before flying off when Relay tries to investigate.

Eventually Skimmer realizes that everything is fleeing at their approach, and they are unlikely to draw their target out into the open while still in the vehicle; being rather short for an elf at 5’5”, he proposes the bold plan of having himself pose as a lost adolescent to serve as bait for Krampus. Relay reprograms his RPC cloak to resemble regular clothes (in order to hide his FBA and weapons), while Charon turns into mist and flies up into the treetops to provide some areal cover. While waiting for King Beef and Rooster’s deepweed high to wear off, Relay’s drone spots a dark-furred sasquatch watching them from the treeline – this time the photo is clear enough for Jerry to confirm that this is the creature which has been stalking the sasquatch commune, but when Charon goes to investigate she can find no trace of it. However between her and Relay they are able to put together the fact that the creature is most likely a Jabberwock, and thus learn a few details about it (such as that it will likely try to attack from above).

==The Run==
Once King Beef and Rooster are no longer forcibly astral perceiving, the team is ready to put their plan into action. With Charon (and Relay, via drone) scouting out via the air, the team locates a nearby clearing in the forest to set their ambush. KB and Rooster do their best to be stealthy as they wait nearby under cover of invisibility and concealment, while Charon mist forms up to the top of a large tree to wait with Relay’s rotodrone. Skimmer, making a convincing elf teenager as possible, wanders aimlessly into the clearing, cursing God and his parents and anyone else for his terrible Christmas gifts in the hops of looking like a “naughty child” – he sells the con masterfully, attracting Krampus’ attention.

The Jabberwock mysad stalks its prey from the treetops, transforming itself into a large bird of prey before activating its adrenaline surge and elemental body, quickly soaring out overtop of Skimmer before transforming and Morningstar Falling down to ambush him. Luckily Relay’s drone manages to spot the concealed creature, however the rigger ends up surprised due to poor rolls on the resulting surprise test (thankfully the rest of the team are not surprised thanks to his warning).

Krampus, wreathed in unnatural cold, attempts to grab Skimmer, who puts his magically-improved and edge-enhanced reflexes to work and manages to dodge the incoming blow; he returns fire with complex full auto targeted at the head, scoring a hit despite the monster’s terrible speed. Charon fires from the treetops as well, though her hand cannon isn’t as accurate as Skimmer’s assault rifle. Over near KB and Rooster, Krampus’ spirit ally (a terrifying-looking albino beast) manifests to induce fear – Rooster decides to nope right the hell away from that and attempts to fire at Krampus through the snow, barely missing with his own CFA. Meanwhile, KB speedballs 5 drugs at once and deletes the spirit with a single well-placed electric punch before they have a chance to take effect. His plant spirit, with standing orders to activate the endowed regeneration power on him if he is hurt (which he was by the massive drug interactions damage), begins making him regenerate as it seeks cover (this will be mostly unimportant to the course of the fight, but get a lovely comedic callback in the aftermath).

The jabberwock continues its vicious assault on Skimmer, who just barely manages to keep out of its reach as he returns his own assault rifle fire, chipping slowly away at Krampus’ edge. Relay, a bit high on zen with his reflexes slowed, manages a BSB with his drone which Krampus barely avoids, with Rooster following up with successful fire from his SMG that manages to attract the monster’s attention. As it marches towards him menacingly, King Beef attempts an interception, but it avoids the strike and moves to rip Rooster apart with its bare hands. Thankfully he manages to avoid the strike, and with Krampus’ edge now drained completely the team are able to gang up on the jabberwock and work together in order put it down (with Relay scoring the killing blow with a successful sniper shot).

==Aftermath==
King Beef, high on K-10 and accelerator (which didn’t actually have a chance to take effect before the fight ended), begins taking his rage out on the local forest as the hallucinations kick in, making him believe the trees are laughing at him. Meanwhile, the rest of the team are just grateful to be alive and attempt to stay out of the rampaging minotaur’s way – Relay attempts to put the raging bull down with a narcojet needle, however he is still regenerating because of the spirit and immediately gets back up, screaming and running off into the woods where he spends the next 6 hours freaked the frag out.

Shrugging, the team call up Jerry to track down KB as they prepare to leave Krampus where he fell… then they think better of that, and Charon double taps the jabberwock by shooting it in the face before having Jerry deliver a can of gasoline, which they use to set the body alight with their new firewood. Having ensured that Krampus is 1000% for real dead and beyond the reach of the Hand of God, they congratulate themselves on a job well done and return to Santa’s Workshop. (Unfortunately, they fail to realize that Krampus infected one of his sasquatch victims off-screen, so Krampus 2 will return in time for next year’s holiday season – not to mention the wendigo assistant that’s still out there…)

Meeting back up with Saint Nick, the team present proof of their success to he and Jerry. Both are happy that the sasquatches will no longer be troubled (for now anyway…), and Saint Nick presents the team with their promised payment, along with a jar of cookies each. He also asks everyone if there was something that they want as a late Christmas gift, doing his best to accommodate their requests. Rooster simply asks for more of “the good stuff” from Jerry, while KB naturally requests more K-10. Charon asks for a Saab Dynamite (sadly she was on the naughty list this year, however Nick compromises after she promises to be nice from now on and hooks her up with a Dealer Connection in their shared acquaintance). Relay asks for a new drone assistant, since his Evo Proletarian has been having some issues, so Nick provides him with a “Partner in KRIME” (a knock-off S-K Direcktionsekretar). Skimmer asks for some DU rounds, which sadly Nick does not have on hand – however he does know where to get some, and promises to keep Skimmer on his list for the future. As a consolation prize, he gives Skimmer a green elf outfit complete with curly-toed elf booties, which he is happy to accept.

==Player After Action Reports (AARs)==
===Skimmer===
Hired by Santa to kill Krampus. Seriously. At least as serious as a BTL-addicted humanized troll who thinks he's the living incarnation of Santa Claus can get. And a sasquatch named Jerry who speaks American Sign Language. Stranger things have happened, but not to me. Anyway, we load up in Relay's ride, with Rooster and King Beef smoked to the gills, me and Charon riding at the windows watching for anything that moves. Eventually, I get the grand idea to play bait, which no one bothers to talk me out of. It works swimmingly, with me dodging for all I'm worth to keep this nasty Krampus looking jabberwocky from eviscerating me with it cold, cold talons. Predictably, KB jerks his drug chain, going all ape shit and crushing something sneaking around in the background that I for one never even saw. Unfortunately, it looks like the King may have juiced up for no reason, because after the tender ministrations provided by the rest of us, bad old Krampus goes down for the count. That doesn't deter KB however, as he begins to vent his wrath on the local flora and fauna for the foreseeable future. The rest of us have a little bonfire starring Krampus, then head back to report all is well. Could have been worse; that was the closest I've come to getting tagged since coming to Seattle, and believe you me, I'm not so sure I would have walked away from that one. Fun times.

===Charon===
I should probably stop breaking my fall with my kneecaps. Oh, well. First time in a long, long time that I've come across a jabberwock. They look about what I remember them looking like. The chiphead Johnson's not really an issue, though I do need to look into how the hell he knows... anyway. Something for me to think of later. Relay and Skimmer should start getting used to dealing with lunatics like KB; as much as he is a madman, he has his uses. Just need some gentle nudging to guide him in the right direction. Maybe he's too young to realize how to guide those kinds of simple forces. Maybe he'll figure it out by the time he's in his fifties.

===[[Relay]]===
I am a professional. I address the needs in my community, and I am compensated for a dangerous line of work. I am a professional. Like...okay, so....okay. Some chipped up psychopath with a <s>satan</s> Santa complex sends us off to shrek some jabberwocky. [[Skimmer]] is pure class incarnate, [[Rooster]]'s green, but his heart's in the right place. Meanwhile, I haven't seen [[King Beef]] since a run in with Saeder Krupp but it turns out he's just lost his mind. We start a fight and he just speedballs meth, K-10, horse tranqs, and friggin lighter fluid or something. We down the Jabberwocky, and then I dart beefsteak to chill his ass out, and he drops like a ton of bricks.

For like, two seconds. Then he stands up, tosses the dart aside, and just starts smashing trees. Like--here's Mr. Universe animorphed into half a cow just punching trees until they fall over ripped all to shit on K10. We had to leave him there to cool off; it was too dangerous to bring him in. I don't mind popping a little Jazz before a fight to get the upper hand. Gangers fight dirty, and we've got to do our part to stay alive. I keep a packet or two of psyche in my car pretty much 24/7. But like, holy moly fellas. This was a bad college mascot being solo responsible for deforestation while we blew into our hands to keep them warm in the friggin' forest.

I managed to put my little buddy in a real body, though. He's dumber than dirt, but he's always trying to help. At least something positive came from this experience as I watch chip heads who think they're Santa pay minotaurs to get ridiculously high and turn forests into firewood, I'm sitting here realizing my best friend is a drone who does more harm than good when repairing my shit. It's been a long night, chummers. A long night.

=== Rooster ===
Hot drek, what a run! We met Santa! Well, he was a troll chiphead who thinks that he's santa, but close enough bob. He had good cookies, great drugs, and a problem with some sorta sasquatch vampire. Also a whole bunch of elves. And Guns. And BTLs. It was weird. It got weirder when he introduced us to his sasquatch friend named Jerry who buys the good deepweed from him. That sasquatch spoke in sign language, and drove a wiz old van.

Anyway, we drove off into the woods in Relay's truck to find the sasquatch vampire that was eating sasquatch children. King Beef, a big minotaur boxer or some drek, hotboxed the back of the truck with me. After that, we dressed Skimmer up as a small child for some reason and then wandered into the woods. That lured the sasquatch vampire out. Things got dicey, but we shot it to shit. Killed its spirit buddy too. Easy money. Then King Beef did a victory lap beating trees to death for a while. He was high as fuck. I was gonna keep an eye on him, but Jerry volunteered.

After that we went back to Santa and got paid. He offered us a lot of goods instead of nuyen though, which was awesome. I loaded up on bullets and deepweed, and I even found a tricked out new praetor!

[[King Beef]]
Man I still can't believe I actually got to meet Santa Claus and he's big and loves KRIME. He was more perfect than anyone evrr told me about. Oh yeah and he paid me to go and punch stuff to death for him so that was really fun too. Though the team was pretty good they still don't seem like they'd be that good in a fistfight, but I guess not everyone can match the ex-Champ.

==Summary==
In which the runners help to save Christmas (oh and King Beef does K-10).

==The Meet==
The team are contacted by their fixers and told to go to a cabin in the Snohomish wilderness near the boarder of the sprawl – each of them also receives a cryptic warning not to antagonize the Johnson or to “question his whole Santa Claus act”. Puzzled, but enticed by the promise of money for Christmas gifts, they make their way out to “Santa’s Workshop” – a picturesque cabin attached to a warehouse, complete with a coral outside filled with what seem to be raindeer (though an assensing roll from Charon determines that they are actually free and wild beast spirits) being fed reagents by a gnome in a green outfit. Out of the cabin comes [[Saint Nick]], bellowing hearty ho-ho-ho’s and inviting them inside for (actual non-soy) milk and cookies.

King Beef (who made the interesting decision to bring “Princess Sparkles” - his cybered-up wolf pet - to the meet) is delighted to meet Santa himself, while everyone else plays along with the p-fix addict’s delusion. Nick explains that he and his elves wanted to get Christmas deliveries started a little early this year, but that one of his sleighs bringing gifts into the sprawl has crashed in a snowstorm (he doesn’t know how this could have happened – he even sent Rudolph to guide it!) He needs them to sneak across the boarder and retrieves the “gifts” (as well as the elf, if he’s still alive), and promises to pay them in the smiles of children on Christmas morning. Charon pushes for actual money, and Nick just chuckles, saying he can pay them 10 grand each – when she asks about “Christmas gifts” as well, he leads them into the workshop to reveal a bunch of elves (along with dwarves and gnomes) packaging weapons and drugs in brightly-wrapped boxes. Everyone grins at this, excited to help save Christmas.

==The Plan==
Nick provides the team with a radio transponder which should lead them right to the crash site, as well as a picture of his “elf helper” (clearly a smuggler with the Ancients, judging by the green mohawk and jacket) and personalized ugly Christmas sweaters to keep themselves warm. Everyone (including Princess Sparkles, who King Beef wrestles into submission) hops in Nogitsune’s pickup truck and head towards the boarder of the sprawl; Charon hits the matrix to look up some information on how to safely cross, while Nogitsune uses his knowledge of smuggling routes. Between the two of them they determine that the boarder rangers are extremely skilled but have a lot of territory to cover and tend to use drones and spirits to supplement their forces – they are able to locate a path which is infrequently patrolled by drones which they decide to use to cross the boarder.

==The Run==
Nogitsune puts his wheelman skills and off-roading experience to work getting the team across the boarder as stealthy as possible – Dr. Trauma hears a drone passing overhead, but it doesn’t seem to notice them as it goes along its patrol route. Making their way through the snow-covered picturesque wilderness (leaving tracks in their wake), the team (who are otherwise matrix dark and not displaying SINs, for obvious reasons) follow the radio transponder to their destination and find a small smuggler’s plane crashed into a tree, with its contents spilling out onto the ground.

Unfortunately the team wasn’t the first to find the plane – a quartet of of horned bears have found it first and become rather high on the novacoke which is raining down from the treetops. As Charon and King Beef approach, they are assaulted by the charging coke bears – Charon, acting quickly, engages her vampiric Terrorscape power, catching both the bears and King Beef in its radius of effect and paralyzing three of the bears with utter terror. The remaining bear and King Beef get into a bit of a scrap, with the mighty minotaur (high on betakami, naturally) managing to atomize his foe with an ELECTRIC PUNCH. Dr. Trauma finishes the rest of the bears off by firing off a comet arrow which catches KB as well, dropping him and catching him on fire (he shrugs it off) as the trio of terrified high animals are murdered – Nogitsune double taps them, just to be safe, before claiming a paw as a trophy.

With the terrorscape still active, a spirit begins to materialize – a beautiful flying reindeer with a red nose, which immediately starts to scream in terror and freak out. Charon disables the power and mist forms up the tree to investigate the plane’s fuselage while Nogitsune uses his animal handling skill combined with his inherent knowledge of magical creature behaviour in order to calm poor Rudolph down a bit. As the fox does his totally-not-wild-empathy, Dr. Trauma gets to work harvesting reagents and talesma supplies with his alchemy skills, King Beef starts collecting the “gifts” (drugs and ammunition, of course) and putting them into the truck. Charon manages to locate the transmitter, but finds that the pilot is missing – while searching the plane, she finds a smuggling compartment which has been emptied out save for a single ampule filled with a viscous dark red fluid, which she pockets.

After calming Rudolph, Nogitsune locates the tracks in the snow leading north, and the team follow along with their new spirit pal. Unbenownst to everyone involved, they are walking towards a Geatronics dump site where the corp buried a bunch of heavy metals years ago (the toxic by-product of cheep lithium batteries and solar panel manufacturing); since everyone is Awakened, they all get to enjoy the sickening feeling that wells up in their stomachs as the background count slowly turns toxic. While precepting and stealthing along, Dr. Trauma hears a branch break before catching a glimpse of a terrifying sight – a spidermoose climbing down a tree, followed up by a herd of them descending upon the team. They prepare for a fight, but Rudolph saves them by leading the toxic critters on a chase through the woods, letting the team focus on rescuing Santa’s helper.

Sadly the elf, wounded by the crash and seeking shelter from the storm, took a strongbox of K-10 and wandered right into a shardik den – he was promptly torn apart, and the toxic bear is now high on the Blood of Kali. King Beef, now high on betakami as well as guts and a stim patch, decides now is the best time for him to try K-10 as well, having sniffed out the ampule on Charon. The vampire just grins and hands it over, and Dr. Trauma, recognizing the insipient disaster-in-the-making, begs him as a doctor not to do this. KB just shrugs off the concerns and injects himself with grade-10 kamikaze, immediately inducing a catastrophic drug overdose which causes 10 physical damage – he soaks all but one point of it and willingly fails the test to go berserk as the blood haze fills him.

Roaring with rage, King Beef charges at the cave entrance just as the shardik emerges and lets out a paralyzing howl – thanks to the guts he is fine, while Charon and Dr. Trauma manage to resist the magically-induced fear (Nogitsune, as a sniper, is far enough away that the magical effect has dissipated once reaches him). KB and the toxic critter get into a slugging match while Charon and Nogitsune attempt to shoot it with their bullets bouncing off of it. Trauma deploys another comet prep which catches both the shardik and KB on fire (making the situation simultaneously worse and more awesome), and the minotaur nearly goes down before a last-minute save from Princess Sparkles, who comes bounding out of the woods (having chewed through her chain with her junkyard jaw) to attack the bear and save her master from his well-deserved fate.

Working together, the team is able to overwhelm the shardik’s formidable defenses – Nogitsune manages to score the killing blow with his sniper rifle, and KB soaks the dying blow from it for PS as the massive creature falls on the both of them.

==Aftermath==
Dr. Trauma and Nogitsune get to work harvesting fangs and claws from the mighty creature as Charon makes her way into the cave to look for the Ancient (finding his mangled corpse and torn jacket, as well as the open K-10 strongbox); Dr. Trauma works to collect what remains of the elf (both from the cave and the bear’s stomach) for a proper burial. King Beef meanwhile endures a truly horrendous drug crash (coming a single box of physical overflow away from outright death and barely managing to avoid going permanently berserk by rolling a single hit on his 2 edge dice) and passes the frag out.

As Nogitsune works to reign in Princess Sparkles (who ends up running off), the team are ambushed by the SSC Rangers, who followed their tracks and heard the fight. The rangers order them onto to get on the ground, but quickly change their tone when they see the corpse of the toxic critter – a bit of negotiation later and the team are told to leave and that they were never here while the rangers claim the bounty on the creature for themselves. Charon is able to con the ranger escorting them to the boarder into not looking inside the strongbox (he knows they are smugglers, but she convinces him not to care enough to press the issue), and once they part ways Rudolph rejoins them with Princess Sparkles in his wake as they make their way across the boarder and back into the sprawl.

Returning to Santa’s Workshop, everyone receives a hearty ho-ho-ho of thanks as well as more milk and cookies, plus their promised payments and Christmas gifts curtesy of Nick’s “special helpers” (his sponsorship agreement with KRIME); he is dismayed to learn of the elf’s death, however he thanks them for bringing back the remains and assures them that he will receive the honors that are due to him. Charon even manages to network with one of Nick’s friends who knows a bit about classic cars who might be able to help her get the gift she’s been wanting. Trauma considers his oath to do no harm and thinks of destroying the K-10 for the good of the sprawl as a whole, but he ends up handing it over as well, ensuring that there will be more K-10 adventures in the immediate future.

'''<big>[[Dr.Trauma]]</big>'''

I shall simply leave it at, there is no way King Beef should have survived that and I really shouldn't have let you know what get distributed into the city. Merry Christmas I guess.

[[Nogitsune]]:That's mission was something else...running across magical beasts and getting to put down that big one...makes me happy...but not sure what's this odd feeling like i did something wrong, what is K-10?

====== [[Charon]] ======
KB, you mad lad. Absolute unit, really. I'll leave the K-10 pumping for him, but spooking bears doesn't really sound like the kinda thing I signed up for when I went into the shadows. Whatever, we got the fucking drugs after a good ol' brawling match between the Beef himself and a mutated Fallout-looking headass in a cave. I find Nick's existence by itself kinda hilarious, but hey. It got me paid in dummy amounts of cash and a guy who might be able to get me that vintage Lamborghini from like 2004. A proper V8 engine with modern 2080s tech gotta purr like a god damn cat, so braving the Salish border and punching some irradiated bears for drugs is totally a job I'm happy to do to get to that.

[[King Beef]]
Oh man what a wild drek-fueled fight with the bears and whatever the hell that other thing was. Absolutely worth comin' up here for this, even managed to finally get som K-10 to really pump up for fight time. And the rest of the team were pretty good, need to shape up for a scrap some though.

==Summary==
Team is hired by a vampire of indeterminate age to help him finish off the dregs of a cult he has been fighting for an indeterminate amount of time while he deals with the main group. Team simultaneously completes but weakens a Great Form Blood Spirit Summoning and kills the incomplete version of a "God" of Blood.

==Background==
Each of the team members found a very stand-out bulletin posting inside of their nearest stuffer shack that mystically disappeared once they had entered the info given on it into their commlinks. The coordinates they were given lead to an abandoned church out in Redmond that the team members made their way to with the promise of work.

==The Meet==
The team arrived at the abandoned First Church of Seattle to discover a real, genuine horse hitched outside. Upon entering the building was rundown save for the freshly polished and repaired doors leading into the sanctuary. Inside was their J amidst the crumbling theurgist iconography who turned and was able to both look at none of them and all of them at once. Delphi deduced he was a vampire looking much younger than he truly was and that he was highly magical. The team mostly did the normal back and forth for details but exceptionally on edge from the vibes he gave off and the info Delphi shared about their aura. He offered them 10k and after Delphi's haggling threw in that he could acquire a real leather hat for Zenith from a contact of his. To earn their keep the team needed to stop a Blood Ritual that was poised to be completed at Midnight with the Total Blood Moon Eclipse at its peak. After some apprehension for the somewhat low reward the team agreed to the terms and were given the info on where the place likely was in Puyallup.

==The Plan==
Proceed as quickly and safely as possible through unknown and likely dangerous territory so as to stop the ritual from occurring.

==The Run==
The team arrived in the general search area and through a mix of Tracking, Perception, and Astral Perception were able to find a pretty hot trail to follow. The trail went cold in front of a destroyed building, the appearance was actually a large scale illusion that the team was able to see through and went into the likely hostile structure. All but Delphi were greeted with a pristine glass hallway acting as a pseudo hall of mirrors leading to a door at its end, Delphi however saw the world as it truly was and that they were actually in a concrete hallway filled to the ankles with blood. They proceed quickly to the end of the hallway once the other members were informed of the reality of their situation, at the end of the hallway was a knee high Physical Barrier and a door that would keep the blood from spilling out of the hallway. On the other side of the door almost as if it had been ripped from its place in the world was a completely pristine laundromat, once the team entered the room all sound was briefly removed except for the internal sounds of the runners. Immediately after sound returned the room's lighting shorted and every washing machine began to shake violently, seconds later 3 lights came back on and shown directly down onto 3 of the washing machines filled with crimson that shortly chimed to end their cycle. As the doors swung open blood and steam poured out as 2 blood spirits and a blood shade emerged from their own individual machines. These spirits were quickly cut down by the team in a hail of gunfire and melee combat as one tauntingly claimed they were simply sacrificial lambs. Through the next door was a long hallway covered top to bottom with the skins of myriad individuals. As the team progressed through here the arms of extremely weak blood spirits emerged from all around to grab at them but the team was able to easily clear a path through the fragile horde. The final room was a massive, multi-story freezer filled with the meat from the cult's dead members and murdered individuals from Seattle and in the middle was a large spiral staircase leading to the roof where the ritual was taking place, Delphi paying Zenith a small sum of Nuyen for losing a bet on whether the ritual was going to be on the roof or underground. The team began ascending the staircase and eventually passed a threshold where they could see through the glass of the building that the sun was nearly completely eclipsed at which point they broke into a sprint.

At the top of the stairs were two massive stone doors that Gaz was able to break apart with a sledgehammer. Zenith being the quickest to act vaporized the leader's head with a well placed Ex-Ex revolver round, however this final act of extreme violence was the final catalyst to complete the ritual causing the blood painted Juggernaut Hide to roll itself into a ball as something began to stir. Voltage lobbed an HE grenade at it which cracked the hide open enough for Gaz to unload some rounds into the bloody, crimson core disrupting the ritual in seen and unseen ways. As the bullets ripped into it the magical backlash caused the remaining cultists to implode into balls of gore around the ritual circle as a massive bloody figure began dragging its freshly formed body from the shell. The teams disruption of the ritual however left the Blood "God" Tchernobog half-finished, lashing out and speaking in ancient tongues as Voltage lobbed another grenade at it, missing and sending it soaring over head. However due to the creatures roof spanning size the grenade still managed to hit it weakening it even further. At this point Zenith decided to end it before it could be a real danger and dove directly into the creatures mouth, allowing them to deposit a Blight loaded Capsule round directly inside of the creature fully disrupting it. As the creature was being removed from the Metahuman plane it took one final action to attempt to crush Zenith with its massive teeth, however their armor proved to be too much for the entity in its weakened state and it melted fully into liquid blood spilling over the team and down the sides of the building.

Delphi was able to save the initial sacrificial human from their second scrape with death as the creature collapsed nearly crushing them. Having not even caught their breath the entire building began to shake and rumble spurring the team to quickly descend and escape the building. After exiting they turned to watch as the building was sucked into itself through a partially formed Astral Gateway, leaving behind no evidence of the nights events aside from those people soon to be reported as missing and those who would never even be noticed as missing. Kaleb returned and due to fighting the entity that he believed he had already killed Delphi was able to talk him into giving his own hat to Zenith which was both a stylish leather gunslingers hat but also a Qi Focus. Kaleb then took out the teams pay, original U.S. dollars that they could transfer through a collector for the promised sum of Nuyen before hopping onto his horse and plotting off into the fog of Seattle.

==Aftermath==
There is a completely BGC less zone on the southern border of Puyallup amidst the normal BGC of the area due to the Gateway sucking some of the bad magic out with it.

==Rewards==
10k Nuyen; 8 Karma for Delphi, Voltage, and Gav
10k Nuyen; 3 Karma; and an F6 Mystic Armor Qi Focus for Orion

=Character Information=

===Summary===
Friendly Ork who enjoys his hacking almost as much as he enjoys cooking.
===Goals===
Ork Techno returning to the shadows after being clean for 18 years to try and save his boss's family business.
==Background==
Born in the Barrens, Billy Young and his family always struggled to get by and eventually only he struggled to get by after his parents were killed by a runaway grenade during a gang turf war. Now just your average Barrens Rat he was able to scrape by with the rest of the kids running around, scavenging, and stealing in the Matrix. That all changed when he got into his early teens and managed to find an old, used Datajack and the nuyen to get it implanted by a Street Doc. He found out very quickly he had an innate connection with the Matrix that noone else he knew did. And as all "special" individuals are he was eventually attracted to a group of people with similar talents. They used it to commit plenty of Matrix crime and lift a lot of paydata, enough that they would never go hungry again. The group kept this up until Billy had hit the age of 20 at which point the group got too deep into an S-K facility where they were captured, imprisoned, and studied. Some of them died through the years due to either negligence or the studies themselves while few too stubborn to die survived everyday. Eventually following the crash of Matrix 2.0 many of them had already faded or were in the process of, with their only distinct feature now gone the last survivors of the group were handed criminal SINs and thrown out into a changed world. He was lucky enough to find work with his criminal SIN at a generations old diner in Renton where he has been for the last 21 years. Having reintegrated into life he's found that he has a genuine love for cooking and thanks to the support and friendship of the Diner's owner he has since shed his hardened demeanor thanks to his early years and time in S-K custody and come to care for people. Now however his friend's diner is finally going under after once again turning down an offer to buyout the place by Aztechnology to turn it into another Stuffer Shack, Billy is returning to the shadows to get the nuyen necessary to save the diner.
