	Well, this could have turned out a lot worse. In the end the spirit didn't seem to do a lot more than control the ghouls and make it rain acid. The grenades we brought took care of the first, and the knife dealt with the second part. I'm honestly a bit surprised that that minotaur didn't complain about killing the ghouls. Apparently even he doesn't consider them worthy of saving. Also, gotta say, working with Gigabite is way better than I expected. Would even describe it as a good time if the location was nicer.

			This remind me that i really hate mind magic. The location was very difficult to reach and also not very suited for my combat capability but we did manage to a very clean extraction, also this ghoul giant was surprinsgly good at...Doing Small Unit TActics. Like so good i should take lesson someday.

	''What's with weird fraggin' spirits getting in my life? I figured it'd have been an easy in-n-out like a fast food joint, but nah. Ferals were constantly in my grill and this fraggin' spirit wasn't pausing harassing us for even a second. Kowloon all over was a pain to be in; didn't need to see the Otherworld to feel it chilling my spine. I could only imagine how rancid the vibes musta been, the booze only slightly dulled it. Raps and Hoof were relatively known quantities, so there's that, but... that kinda hellhole makes me sad. I wish I could do something for the poor bastards, but right now I ain't got enough pull for anyone.''		''What's with weird fraggin' spirits getting in my life?

	Muuuuhhhh what was that crazy show in Wall City? These ghouls had definitely seen better day and were not quite mentally present. Not that I'm afraid, I'm a ghoul, but this spirit (was it a spirit?) was a bit special. Acid rain is not good for my armor at all so he had to pay for it with a knife in the head. It seems that other infected get their mental capacity by arguing with themselves and being at war with their nature. That is not my way. I prefer to focus on how I can make my ghoul nature even better with cyberware. How can you underestimate the great possibilities of cyberware - even the cheaper versions bring you so much. Probably everyone has to find their own way to keep their sanity, but I'm certainly not going to start being in conflict with my nature, rather I'm looking for better options to take even more.

The team are engaged again by the ghouls and the old man, this time the old man seems to summon a rainstorm of putrid acid that bursts in from the windows outside and envelops the interior of the building. The interior as well seems to be changing, black decaying vines seems to be growing up the walls like diseased veins, they carry glowing green pustules on them and puddles of thick swampy ichor appear to be forming on the floor. The transformation has not quite finished yet though and the team manage to fight through the ghouls on this floor, shoo off the old man with a knife to the face, and disrupt another spirit of man before they get to the roof.

Looking down at the alleyways around them they can see swarms and swarms of more ghouls flocking to the building. When the chopper arrives they rope back up and manage to fly themselves and Bowman to safety.

They make it to the staircase undisturbed and head down to the 11th floor. Here they see a reinforced door with a crowd of ghouls around it, the ghouls are beating on the door. Gigabite and [[Crazy Hoof]] manage to intimidate the group who scatter off. They break into the room and set up a lookout outside and a camera to cover both staircases that lead to this floor.

	Inside the room they find a number of dead [[Black Chrysanthemum]] Triad members and ghouls, the scene is very grisly. They also find Bowman's DocWagon band, and Bowman himself who has been restrained in the bedroom and hooked up to a series of autoinjectors that are feeding him Narcoject at specific intervals to keep him under. [[Shy]] uses ~~h er~~ first aid skills to bring him around while [[La Rapide]] goes through the security terminal that is present. There is a camera overlooking the inside of the doorway that shows them what happened. Seems that this room was a BC safehouse and the local ghouls were paid protection money in human flesh. This time though the ghouls knew the triads had something important so wanted more from the gangsters to leave them alone. The argument eventually erupts into violence, with the gangsters eventually beating back the ghouls but not before each of them are killed apart from one who manages to lock the door before he bleeds out. Also on the terminal is a lot of Bowman's work, articles and theories that the BC's have lifted from his commlink.

	Outside the ghouls have noticed that the door to the meat has now been opened again and things start to go South for the team, through the camera feed they have set up as well they recognise a creepy old man has also taken interest in what they are doing and is lurking nearby. With Bowman in hand the team beat a hasty retreat, as they all exit onto the landing of the apartment they realise they might be in a bit of a predicament.
