			[[Moth]] here! This was my 39th run. This was a great group. It is always a pleasure to work with Santesso - he and I work really well together to dig to the heart of any mystery. It was nice to meet Stax and Rufus. I'd definitely work with them again! Very capable combatants, and Stax really knows his way around the Skraacha. Honestly, I think the Skraacha and the Laesa are pretty similar - we look after our communities. I'm so glad we got Charity her supplies. That medicine will do a lot of good in the Barrens. And it was nice to meet [[Fuego Fieri Firebrand the Fourth]]. Maybe I'll see him again!

	It took some doing, but they finally hit the motherlode. A user (or users) going by the name "KHMSucksBallzLoL" was selling multiple supplies matching the manifest. The team speculated that "KHM" was none other than [[SignificantNPC::King HumungaMax]] of the Halloweeners, and that the thief was either KHM's enemy outside of the organization or someone within the gang who wanted to take KHM down. Moth and Santesso scoured KHMSucksBallzLoL's p2.1 feed for clues, and eventually found a video in which a brief glimpse of the videographer's sleeve was seen. It was orange and black...the colors of the Halloweeners.		It took some doing, but they finally hit the motherlode.

	The team contacted King HumungaMax to see if he had any information about KHMSucksBallzLoL. After a slight delay, he returned with information about not only their identity, but a location where they had been spotted. His only request was that the two main people involved be delivered (preferably alive) to a location of his choosing. The runners agreed, and moved on to the next part of the legwork: investigating the location of the theft.		The team contacted King HumungaMax, with a referral from [[SignificantNPC::King Midas]], to see if he had any information about KHMSucksBallzLoL.

	Moth changed her skin tone to approximate a hobgoblin, then she and Santesso began working on disguises for Santesso and Rufus, to better fit into the Ork Underground. Then they entered, and Stax, as a member of the Skraacha and a regular in the Underground, took point. Stax convinced the guard to let them all pass; they didn't ''look'' like topsiders, and if Stax vouched for them.... In any case, the guard had more pressing matters. "You can go on through, but you gotta take care of...those." He drew the team's attention to a distinct skittering sound coming from down the tunnel, and Rufus went a bit pale (visible even through the makeup Moth had spread across his face). He knew (and hated) that sound: Devil Rats.

	The three 'Weener underlings were caught completely off guard by the attack, but the leaders managed to keep their wits. One of the leaders began muttering under her breath, focusing her will, and a large fire elemental (later discovered to be Troggzor the All Consuming Flame, aka [[SignificantNPC::Fuego Fieri Firebrand the Fourth]]) was called into being. The runners focused their efforts on taking out the mage before she could give any instructions to the fire spirit. The mage dropped and the fire spirit left, joyfully shouting of its freedom as it disappeared from sight. The second leader snapped off a shot at Rufus, who dodged the attack with style and grace. The team then focused its fire on the second leader and took him to the ground. Rufus then proceeded to kneecap the three remaining 'Weeners with gelcap rounds. They hit the concrete...hard.

	The runners secured the 'Weeners with restraints (making sure to blindfold and gag the mage as well), then checked the van. The entire stolen cargo appeared to be there. Santesso drove his van into the warehouse and the team transferred the crates to it. Troggzor reappeared, demanding more snacks. Moth rifled through the mage's pockets and found all of her reagents. She offered them to Troggzor, who gratefully accepted, then flew away shouting accolades for Moth. The team wiped the 'Weener van clean of evidence, then threw the two bound leaders into Santesso's van, loaded up, and headed out onto the streets of Puyallup.

	On arriving at the warehouse, Santesso zipped into his rigger's cocoon and jumped into one of his fly-spies. He set about looking for a place to enter the warehouse. Stax stealthily approached one of the warehouse doors and started examining the keypad maglock. Santesso found a hole and determined that there were five 'Weeners and a van parked in the mostly empty warehouse. He sent an AR feed to the rest of the team. Stax successfully opened the maglock. The team gathered to breach: Moth, Rufus, Stax, and Santesso's sniper rotodrone waited at the door while Santesso maneuvered another rotodrone around to the other side of the building to create a distraction. As the drone unloaded several rounds of stick 'n shock flechette into one of the loading doors, the team rushed into the building and sought cover behind several stacks of boxes.

	First on the list were the Red Star Clinics, and their parent company EVO. They currently have a grudge with Charity Horace because she stopped being a spokesperson for them (see [https://www.shadowhaven.info/Ninety_Days_Delinquent report]). It was possible they took her supplies to spite her. Moth and Santesso followed that relationship, attempting but failing to find evidence of RSC taking in a large shipment of medical supplies. Either they were not directly responsible, or their position in the health care industry allowed them to fold the stolen pharmaceuticals into their regular medical deliveries. In either case, it was a bit of a dead end.		First on the list were the Red Star Clinics, and their parent company EVO.

	Second, the pair looked into the Halloweeners. This scorch marks at the scene that Oakstein described certainly could fit with the Halloweener's love of chaos and burning things, but there was little hard connection beyond that. Similarly, veiled hints of grudges held by the Yakuza and Aztechnology went nowhere. All of these groups had problems with Horace and Mr. J, but there were no evidence of them being involved with this ''particular ''crime.		Second, the pair looked into the Halloweeners.

			The devil rats dealt with, the team headed to the scene of the theft. A thorough examination of the area by Moth and Rufus revealed tire tracks (deeper leaving than arriving) and footprints consistent with five people.

			<big>SHOTS FIRED IN PUYALLUP PACKHOUSE</big>

			(Thursday, July 30, 2081) Seattle, UCAS: The sharp retort of firearms rang out over the Puyallup warehouse district this Thursday. Knights Errant, when finally arriving on the scene, found an empty warehouse, an abandoned van with its registration wiped clean, and a smattering of small and large caliber casings. No further information on this ongoing investigation is available at this time.

			* Hoi, chummers! I was forwarded this clipping with a couple of digital post-its attached. According to my source, rival gangs were involved (one of which rhymes with 'shallow weiners'), and the shootout was the final play in reacquiring some stolen goods. Somebody's keeping this close to the vest, though. Who are they protecting?

	~~<big>SHOTS FIRED IN PUYALLUP PACKHOUSE</big>~~		The runners were hired to help a Skraacha mid-level boss, Oakstein, to investigate a theft of materials he had been holding for a client. The runners figured out who had taken the goods and returned everything that had been stolen to the Johnson.

	~~(Thursday, July 30, 2081) Seattle, UCAS:~~ The sharp retort of firearms rang out over the Puyallup warehouse district this Thursday. Knights Errant, when finally arriving on the scene, found an empty warehouse, an abandoned van with its registration wiped clean, and a smattering of small and large caliber casings. No further information on this ongoing investigation is available at this time.

	* Hoi, chummers! I was forwarded this clipping with a couple of digital post-its attached. According to my source, rival gangs were involved (one of which rhymes with 'shallow weiners'), and the shootout was the final play in reacquiring some stolen goods. Somebody's keeping this close to the vest, though. Who are they protecting?
