	~~<br />~~		Twitch and Mute spotted the host, a burning fireball hovering over the grid. They cracked it and snuck inside, where they saw a group of six personas patrolling. The personas looked like various apocalyptic, Mad Max-style things including war machines, bikers, and a hellhound. Working together, they spotted the hidden cache - a war camp in the distance obscured by the smoke of a city on fire. Mute cracked it, but Twitch was unfortunately marked by the host. The personas, it turned out, were all the host's IC, left in a permanent on state to kill any intruders who attempted to follow up on the leak after the host was abandoned months ago. Twitch was link-locked and failed to jack out before the Blaster and Black IC caused him to experience lethal levels of biofeedback-induced stroke. It happened so quickly, Mute was ill-prepared to help; he had not been spotted, however, and decided to enter the war camp.

			Inside, he checked out the war camp's attributes and found that the Hand had modified it to maximize its firewall protection and electronic countermeasures, but doing so had severely taken away from its free processing power. This meant the IC in this node were severely limited in their spotting capabilities, so he was almost completely safe. He was not spotted as he searched the cache for its files. He found that the vast majority of files here were given misleading names that indicated they were important, but they were actually databombed and contained only dummy text. One file labeled "README" actually had something worthwhile in it. Among a series of rambling, veiled rhetoric, it indicated that not only was a terror attack coming on the anniversary of the Night of Rage, but it would be conducted in the most important city for the Hand on that night: Seattle. He copied the file and jacked out.

	~~<br />~~		Seeing Twitch in horrible condition, Mute called [[Splint]] for medevac. She agreed to do it for a fee, and Mute also bribed the night watchman to stay quiet about it. After doing diagnostic procedures, Splint was ready to pronounce Twitch dead, but just as she said so, the EEG picked up brain activity. He would recover, eventually, but he would always have a fear of IC.

			Mute returned to Hipster Machine, who raised the probability of a terror attack in its calculations to over 95%, then requested Mute go to Mothers of Metahumans. He did, giving them the information for free. They said they would be in contact with his fixer for further work and were extremely grateful.

They knew the address of the host and saw briefly that there was a hidden cache inside, but they didn't have time to dig around in it before they had to go back to the job. Several months later, Hipster Machine sent out a notice warning of the approaching date and providing analytics assessing the probability of a terror attack.

			2020-02-19 Mute

			Hipster Machine has left an exploration request for Nested Host discovered after a previous run uncovered it's ties to the Hand of Five, an old-school hate club that was active during the early days of Awakening. Recently, there have been rumors the Hand of Five has been revived under the leadership of a surviving member. Now operating a covert terrorist cell intent of inciting violence between the different metatypes. Mute and Twitch answer the call to explore this uncharted Host.

			The duo met and ran some quick legwork on the history of the Hand of Five and their alleged end at the hands of Lone Star during the Night of Rage. Renting out a cheap safehouse in Tacoma, Mute and Twitch made themselves comfortable before diving into the Host. The host was styled a seething ball of infernal fire. Upon entry they found that a plethora of IC was on permanent patrol, each IC styled as post-apocalyptic motorcycles, trucks, and flaming dogs. The Nested Host to be explored was hidden at the back of the Mad Max hell-scape, and while Mute was successful in gaining entry to it, Twitch was not and was swiftly dogpiled by the IC. Inside the Nested Host, Mute discovered that this was a Rogue Foundation Host, probably a relic of pre-Crash 2.0 days, repurposed as a baited trap for nosy hackers. More IC lay in wait. Mute was able to evade the roaming IC long enough to find that the files stored were mostly incoherent data bombed red herrings. One file of note however was labelled as README. A hateful mantra of sorts, promising that Seattle would have the horrors of the Night of Rage revisited upon it on its anniversary. Disturbed by this, Mute copied the file to a commlink and made haste to get Twitch some well-needed medical attention.

			Mute brought the file to the attention of Hipster Machine and the Mothers of Metahumans organization.

	==Background==		==Background==
	A Horizon influencer is whipping up the dwarves of the Underground, preparing for what looks like a race riot between them and the ork population. A concerned citizen with connections to Mothers of Metahumans hires a team of runners to social engineer the problem away.		<br />
	==Meet==		==Meet==
	Meeting at an old-fashioned barbecue restaurant, the team discusses the job with the Johnson. The Johnson brings them up to speed on the situation about the Horizon influencer, a dwarf named Jenda Kantor. Kantor has a sizable following of viewers on his streams, in which he goes on novacoke-fueled, conspiracy-laden rants about how orks are trying to kick the dwarves out of the Underground. The Johnson is concerned this is leading to an imminent riot between the metahuman populations of the Underground, and he wants the situation resolved. This means Kantor cannot be made into a martyr. The team considers their options.
	==Run==		==Run==
	The team decides to make it seem like Kantor is in the pocket of a racist policlub. Rather than going for Humanis, who have some measure of respectability, they decide to target the Hand of Five, whose presence isn't entirely public knowledge and who are universally hated for their role in the Night of Rage. With the help of Decoy's agent, Quickdraw and Purkinje locate the secret Hand of Five host and hack their way inside. They manage to avoid being spotted by the patrol IC before finding a list of contacts and burner numbers. After editing the file to include Kantor as an asset, they make a copy and search for any info the Hand might have about him. Sure enough, they had compiled a list of blackmail material. They copy this file, then leave the host and trace the commlinks on the list to dox the Hand of Five members they could locate, including their leader. Quickdraw leaves his signature inside the host, and the Hand quickly figures out they've been doxxed by hackers. They are able to figure out Quickdraw is involved, but Purkinje and Decoy remain anonymous.		<br />

	The mixture of real and engineered documents on Kantor and the Hand of Five incites a riot, but not the kind he was anticipating. After some stirring words from Prayer and Slayer, angry Underground dwarves storm up to his studio, where Horizon has kicked him out, throwing him to the wolves. Slayer beheads him with a battle axe stroke in the midst of the crowd. Together, the team speaks about metahuman solidarity, and how the Hand of Five and other such policlubs cannot be allowed to separate them.
	==Aftermath==		==Aftermath==
	News of the Hand of Five's return becomes more available to the public, and the leaked documents are given to organizations that would be interested in taking them down, such as Mothers of Metahumans and ShadowHaven. Among the leaks are references to a planned assault on metahuman communities on the next anniversary of the Night of Rage, though the details are said to be kept in a secret security node deeper inside the host.		<br />

	~~===Purkinje's Report===~~
	I describe myself as a "social engineer" in my runner profile on ShadowHaven, but it's only so often I actually get to do some deep social engineering work. Manipulating perception is my skillset, and causing problems for racists is my passion. This job was peanut butter and chocolate for me. A delicious Reese's Cup of a run. Harsh execution at the end there, but I'm not gonna shed tears for someone who was trying to get the dwarves and orks to do that to one another en masse. One less tool for racists. Plus the Hand of Five are in some choppy waters now, so that's neat. A decisive victory.<br />
