			I havent been in any hOst this deep without ever having to hack a single thing. But it takes SO FRAGGIN LONG to get all the marks and infos you need t proceed on the legal way. At least i met Angela, quite an interesting Persona, an emerged AI of some sorts? She seems nice, we both run a school for Technomancy! But from what we found it shows that people still hunt people like me down, i really have to watch my six and my schools too...

	1) The clinic in Redmond - Renraku's Barrens Relief Clinic - had a secret project to scan clients for technomancy skill. Four years ago, there was a project related to this, where Renraku kidnapped some of the identified technomancers for use in ~~related project called~~ 'The E-Ghost Project'. It was clear that something terrible had happened. Wherever the technomancers had been taken, the report was that they were all dead. The clinic had been closed after this, to cover everything up.		1) The clinic in Redmond - Renraku's Barrens Relief Clinic - had a secret project to scan clients for technomancy skill.

Wherever the technomancers had been taken, the report was that they were all dead. The clinic had been closed after this, to cover everything up.

	2) There was a laesal tree on a black site from eight years ago, until four years ago. The black site's location was thoroughly expunged from the records, and was now abandoned. It was shut down at the same time as the clinic. There were three projects going on at this black site at the same time. Sustaining the ~~Laesa~~ tree. A project relate to developing a new kind of drone. They mysterious VTOLs! And a third project that had been entirely redacted from the file. Not one word left. The reports said the tree withered and was lost four years ago. But that didn't seem right, given that Laes was being distributed now. However, the files on the botany lab gave no indication that it was there. It really looked like Renraku thought the tree was lost four years ago.		2) There was a laesal tree on a black site from eight years ago, until four years ago.

	3) There were no references anywhere in the files to the current Redmond kidnappings. It was similar - kidnapping technomancers. Renraku had documented this activity in the past when they did it. But there was nothing to suggest they were doing it now. Very curious. The only reference to a recent kidnapping plan in Redmond was a failed attempt to kidnap mayor Huey King - the troll in the current court case. Likewise, there were no records about payments to the Cutters or the Yakuza, who had been involved in the kidnappings so far.		3) There were no references anywhere in the files to the current Redmond kidnappings.

Likewise, there were no records about payments to the Cutters or the Yakuza, who had been involved in the kidnappings so far.

	4) The files on the Compton town court case primarily revealed that Renraku was guilty of dumping toxic waste in the area. There was no obvious connection to the clinic. It was not in the same area of Redmond. (However, it could be related to the black site closed four years ago, but they could not find any proof of that. It did not seem like any of the three projects at the black site - the laesal tree, the VTOL drone research, and E-Ghost - would produce toxic waste.)		4) The files on the Compton town court case primarily revealed that Renraku was guilty of dumping toxic waste in the area.

	5) They were able to find two files referencing the E-Ghost Project. Its project file, and a second one labeled 'Carmen'. It was clear that the E-Ghost project was studying the formation of e-ghosts. Attempting to force merge technomancers with AI, potentially killing them in the process. Only one test subject survived and merged into an AI. This test subject was named Carmen. They called the resultant emerged AI Carmen. This AI emerged four years ago right at the time relevant to all the other events. Carmen was a runner. ~~Runners~~ attacked the E-Ghost project. The only entity that survived that attack was Carmen, the AI, who reports showed was very aggressive and potentially violent in her desire to get free. The Renraku pursuers were only able to get a fragment of her code in the fight. This fragment they placed in the library to study as an agent. [[Angela]]! They know she is a fragment of Carmen, but appeared from the notes over the years to not have realized that she had emerged and was operating independently.		5) They were able to find two files referencing the E-Ghost Project.

	It was beginning to look like Carmen, the AI, was behind the kidnappings now. Perhaps trying to replicate the experiment, either to learn about herself, or create more beings like her? She would have the knowledge of the black site. She would be aware of the ~~Laesa~~ tree and the drones, which were both now being used by whoever was doing the kidnappings.

	The team asked [[Angela]] where they could speak with her privately about very sensitive information.

	[[Moth]] called her father with the update. He agreed that it seemed unlikely the tree was actually destroyed four years ago. Whoever was doing the kidnappings now likely had it.
