	The longer I get away from this, the more I realize how crazy it actually was. In the moment, I was kind of able to ignore what was happening, the sheer danger we were in. But now... I saw Ghostwalker! I still don't even know how I should feel about all this. I feel like this might come to haunt us in the future, but I don't really think I can do anything to stop it. I think I just need to get in the best position that I can be, to be the most prepared and able, so that when things finally fall apart I will still have allies. I took Lamashtu's offer for this reason. I know many people say to never deal with a dragon, but I think we're past that point. Keeping my head in the sand won't help. I'd rather be involved and connected, at least making an attempt to be valuable. Maybe then I'll get through this.		The longer I get away from this, the more I realize how crazy it actually was.

	Whhhhaaatttt the frag? So I wake up the night after [[The Denverite Debacle\|that ordeal on the train]] to a message from [[Hanako Shinoda\|Hanako]] "asking" me to go help out a team of runners working for Shiawase on a job here in Denver. Then I get pulled into a drekshow with CFD-infected cyberzombies and a ''ghost-damn'' drake! I'm still not sure what the full story was here and for once I'm not too eager to find out - from what those files Rabbit helped me decrypt, that drake betrayed Ghostwalker somehow, and I'd ''really'' rather not be around when he finds her. That escape was ''harrowing'', I seriously thought we were going to die; I'm just glad to have gotten out of that city in one piece, and hopefully without that dragon knowing I was ever involved in what happened there.

Initially confused, it soon became clear. Lamashtu lived. Offering her contact information and further collaboration, each runner had to decide for themselves the paths they were willing to take.

	Satisfied that the team could move the soldiers, Lamashtu left the compound, heading to her own extraction point. Meanwhile, the runners slowly moved the incredibly heavy tank-tread cyber soldiers to the locations that the helicopter would arrive in, frantically ignoring the sounds of alarm all around the city. Somehow they managed to make it over without being spotted, and they saw a cargo helicopter approaching low under the level of Radar. Yelled at in frantic Japanese, the team moved the soldiers in and boarded the helicopter. As it the helicopter rose and the team strapped in, things seemed up... until the viewing screen turned on. In the distance, Ghostwalker rose over the skyline.		Satisfied that the team could move the soldiers, Lamashtu left the compound, heading to her own extraction point.

In their hurry, they forgot to send the smugglers to pick up Lamashtu at a different location. As a result, all three of the convoys were clustered in the same location. Ghostwalker barely had to try to find them and the team saw death approaching. As the Great Dragon approached, the team called on all their luck, and somehow they survived. Instead of blowing them out of the sky, Ghostwalker decided to destroy the decoy caravan.

	Heading towards the descending ramp, the team encountered a mana barrier. While of large force, it did not seem that out of the ordinary at first. However, when Delphi inspected closely, she realized that it was created by a member of the draconic tradition. Despite the unease this caused, the cops were closing in, so they needed to push forward. Heading through the barrier, the reached a room containing three of the missing Firewatch soldiers, as well an unknown woman. The woman, with horns on her head and a confident demeanor, approached forward. She questions the team on their purpose for following the soldier to her domain. As the team relayed her mission to her, she decided to enlighten them to the situation they blundered their way into.		Heading towards the descending ramp, the team encountered a mana barrier.

As the team relayed her mission to her, she decided to enlighten them to the situation they blundered their way into.

	The woman, [[Lamashtu]], is a drake and adept of considerable power, previously under the command of Ghostwalker, but now cursed and hunted by him. Lamashtu was in charge of a secret prison of Ghostwalker, a place where he stored irritants that he didn't feel like eating, but wanted ~~stored~~ away. The missing Firewatch team had been transported there, and been subjected to experiments to build them into an optimal weapon for Ghostwalker's army. They were subjected to a modified treatment of CFD, as they attempted to replace the soldier's personalities with that of spirits. The process, while still highly experimental, seemed frighteningly effective, with the aftermath showing a 94% match with the implanted spirit. ~~Deciding~~ to ~~break away from~~ Ghostwalker ~~for unknown reasons,~~ Lamashtu brought with her the few soldiers left that had a fragment of their being, using them as weapons to help her escape. The runners, in her proximity and knowing these secrets, were now effectively tied to her fate, not only having to dodge the law, but Ghostwalker himself.		The woman, [[Lamashtu]], is a drake and adept of considerable power, previously under the command of Ghostwalker, but now cursed and hunted by him. Lamashtu was in charge of a secret prison of Ghostwalker, a place where he stored irritants that he didn't feel like eating, but wanted locked away. The missing Firewatch team had been transported there, and been subjected to experiments to build them into an optimal weapon for Ghostwalker's army. They were subjected to a modified treatment of CFD, as they attempted to replace the soldier's personalities with that of spirits. The process, while still highly experimental, seemed frighteningly effective, with the aftermath showing a 94% match with the implanted spirit. Lamashtu, having recently uncovered things that she shouldn't have, realized she had to escape Ghostwalker before he took her head. Lamashtu brought with her the few soldiers left that had a fragment of their being, using them as weapons to help her escape. The runners, in her proximity and knowing these secrets, were now effectively tied to her fate, not only having to dodge the law, but Ghostwalker himself.

	Trying to find a way to get of this, with the smugglers likely being unable to move the tank-like cyber-soldiers, Barracuda reveals his connection to Shiawase, offering a way to get Lamashtu out of here. She reacts negatively, insinuating that the megacorps are merely puppets of the Great Dragons and that would simply be a different path to death. The team manages to convince her of an alternate way. By providing information on Ghostwalker, that would allow Barracuda to call in Shiawase support to get them out of Denver. By keeping the Drake out of mention, she could simply slip away after. Considering this, she decides to accept, not particularly seeing a better way out of her problem.

Considering this, she decides to accept, not particularly seeing a better way out of her problem.

			While the drake begins to close down her operations and starts to build a dossier for Barracuda to send, she instructs the team to create a distraction. Something has to be done to draw others eyes away from them, to even have a chance of getting away. Potato, being a demolitions expert, had the perfect idea for the job. She, aided by Rabbit, placed explosives charges at two locations in the city. Using radio detonators, they put bombs in an abandoned gas station and a water tower, places that would hopefully cause chaos, but not widespread death.

			Afterwards, with an encrypted data chip in hand, Barracuda called Asahiro, telling him of the completed objective. Asahiro promised the support he had offered and told him that a helicopter, a cargo bird large enough to carry the soldier, was enroute to their location. While the runners were glad that things were coming together, the Drake considered this new information and realized a few problems. Simply boarding a helicopter and flying away would not be enough. Ghostwalker would almost certainly tear them out of the sky. Without a better plan, they would all die. With the extraction team approaching and the wrath of Ghostwalker weighing down, things started to get a bit tense.

			The team, slightly panicked, began to think of various plans, arguing amongst each as to the best possibility. Delphi, having oracular abilities, decided to look towards the future, trying to find a way to survive. In a trance, she saw vision of possible fates, some perhaps acceptable, others worse, such as Ghostwalker exploding the team and eating the drake. Not particularly helpful, Delphi started arguing with Oracle, with Lamashtu looking on amused. Oracle eventually, after Delphi shouted at him for a bit, actually did something helpful to everyone's shock. He gave a plan that hadn't been mentioned yet. He proposed that Lamashtu walk over to the smugglers and travel away with them, that the team loaded into the helicopters, and that various vehicles around the garage be rigged to use as a decoy caravan. With little time left, the team decided to move forward with this.

			Satisfied that the team could move the soldiers, Lamashtu left the compound, heading to her own extraction point. Meanwhile, the runners slowly moved the incredibly heavy tank-tread cyber soldiers to the locations that the helicopter would arrive in, frantically ignoring the sounds of alarm all around the city.

	Talking among themselves, the Runners first focused on smuggling plan. While they were provided a contact for transit, their frugal instincts came to the front, and they thought hard to save money. Discussing various ideas such as using a submarine boat, just driving down there, and even organleggers briefly. While the discussion continued, Barracuda called one of his fixer's, Agamemnon, asking for info on smuggling routes. He was surprisingly helpful and pointed Barracuda towards elvish smugglers of the Salish Sidhe Council. All he asked in return was they he kept his eyes open for spirit formulas in Denver. As Barracuda hung up, he received a less pleasant call from [[Asahiro Kunitoshi]]. Asahiro instructed Barracuda that he was going to get him secret information on Ghostwalker's operations. Graciously, he mentioned that he would provide transport out of Denver if Barracuda succeeded. Barracuda wasn't given much of a choice in this.

	Sharing all this information with the team, they decided to look into the possibility of using smugglers to enter Denver. Rabbit contacted one of his fixers to arrange a meeting to negotiate terms. Swerve and Rabbit visited them, and used their general elfiness and knowledge of Sperethiel to both get a decent deal and assuage their concerns about smuggling dirty non-elves. With a relatively cheap cost of 7k each for a round trip, the team had secured a way to get their gear to Denver.
