			===[[Relay]]===
			I'm putting myself in danger by expanding my public persona. However, I am one of the few runners who have the legal paperwork to purchase such a building, a large, known stipend to help facilitate the cover, and can often avoid showing my face on the run. I've been running to feel alive--but that's greedy. Too greedy. I have the means and opportunity to create real, meaningful positive change. While I've done this through killing bugs and shadow spirits, maybe it's time to create tangible benefits in other ways. It's time to be better.

			Let's see how long it lasts before I eat a bullet out of some syndicate member's gun for the trouble.

	==The Dinner==		==The Dinner==
			[[Relay]] meets up for dinner at the Space Needle with a classmate from Georgia Tech. The two reminisced about collegiate robotics team antics and discussed current events. After dancing around the injury and subsequent retirement from engineering, [[Relay\|Silas]] admits to not being COMPLETELY retired, given Helper's customization. The classmate offers [[Relay\|Silas]] a job, which he turns down, but the classmate offers him a digital card just in case he changes his mind. The two catch up, with [[Relay\|Silas]] avoiding divulging any information about running BUT spending some time criticizing the DA for not addressing the root cause of the city's issues, and instead focusing on punishment.

			From this conversation, [[Relay]] solidifies his desire to take action. He decides to visit his [[Black Tie Affair\|Piano Bar]] and talk to individuals there to learn about real estate.

	==The Soup Kitchen==		==The Soup Kitchen==
			At the [[Black Tie Affair]], [[Relay\|Silas Rojas]] learned of two leads about property in Redmond from [[Miles Imaus]]. One pointed to an obvious dragon in Seattle, which seemed--less than ideal. The other pointed to a developer who decided to sell his building, allowing it to be made into a co-op (see [[Stand Tall for the Man Next Door]] for details.) After some matrix searching, [[Relay\|Silas]] finds the co-op's web presence and contacts the building's office to schedule a meeting.

			[[Relay\|Silas]] visits the office and explains that he's interested in providing a similar experience to the co-op where Redmond citizens have a safe place to live and buy groceries and be treated like people. She--in turn--puts him in touch with [[Eli Johnson]], who agrees to meet. [[Relay\|Silas]], still in his normal clothes, heads down to the soup kitchen in his truck.

			[[Eli Johnson]] and [[Relay\|Silas]] talk at the soup kitchen for some time. [[Relay\|Silas]] assuages some of [[Eli Johnson\|Eli's]] fears by explaining that he's not trying to "fix" the barrens or be some sort of lord who lifts its people out of poverty, but rather that there are real societal barriers in place that prevent those without money and power from having a genuine shot at a happy, healthy life. [[Relay\|Silas]] explains that he'd like to remove some of these barriers to create a more just world, even if it's only for a few people. Making the decision that [[Relay\|Silas]] isn't a detriment or threat to the community, [[Eli Johnson\|Eli]] walks [[Relay\|Silas]] through several local buildings that might be purchasable, and [[Relay\|Silas]] quietly settles on a building that's in severe disrepair and is bleeding its residents dry with outrageous rent on the remaining apartments.

	==The Bargain==		==The Bargain==
			[[Relay\|Silas]] calls the rental number on the building and asks the owner to meet up to discuss sale of the building as a whole. The owner scoffs but--after [[Relay\|Silas's]] insistence--offers to meet at a Redmond strip club. [[Relay\|Silas]] suggests a classier club downtown instead, to which the owner agrees. [[Relay\|Silas]] returns home to change; after buying a bottle of Black Panther, [[Relay\|Silas]] heads to the club in his Gladius, which lends him credibility in the bargaining. The two sit together and--after brief introductions where [[Relay\|Silas]] sizes the owner up as someone who imitates mafiosos but isn't actually in a local family, the negotiations begin. [[Relay\|Silas]] offers 250k, but the owner counters with a million. After some back and forth, the owner offers 750k, which would allow him to pay off his debt and have some coinage left to invest in some other opportunity. [[Relay\|Silas]] counters by offering 300k, which is the 750k "value" of the building minus the approximate costs of repairs. The owner laughs him off, so [[Relay\|Silas]] changes tactics.

			[[Relay\|Silas]] explains that--based upon the man's commentary, he owes a lot of money to people you don't want to owe money to. Either A) he needs to pay that money in full, and thus selling the building NOW may be the way to keep himself alive, or B) he doesn't need to pay the money in full, and thus taking a lower sum that he can invest in a business that isn't bleeding money on repairs is his best fiscal option. The two settle on a price of 350k, and [[Relay\|Silas]] departs to call [[Sarah Snow]] and her husband [[Liam Montgomery]].

	==Aftermath==		==Aftermath==
			* [[Relay]] files the paperwork for a non-profit called Metroplex Equal Rights Coalition, or MERC, through [[Liam Montgomery]].
			* [[Relay]] has either helped or pissed off a barrens slumlord. It's unclear which so far.
			* [[Relay]] calls in favors from ex-runners and contacts to help fund his project to the tune of 100k (Ascension non-ware rewards, see rewards section.) He funds the rest of the project himself, spending 250k of his own money.
			* [[Relay]] agrees to do a news interview about the property acquisition.
			* [[Relay]] renames the building [[The Kingston Building]] quietly in honor of the late [[King Beef\|KB]].
			* The building's sale will go through on the 31st, [[Relay]]'s one year anniversary of running, allowing runners to officially WftP to help rebuild the Kingston Building.

Line 42:		Line 42:

	==The Drive==		==The Drive==
			[[Relay]] and Helper drive out to pick up his Gladius, which was purchased and modified with spoof chips and a morphing license plate. He sends Helper home in the truck and drives to the [[Black Tie Affair]]. Traffic is backed up on the 520 bridge because of construction, but--out his rear camera--[[Relay]] sees a non-descript white van and three bikes weaving through traffic towards him. Realizing that the vehicle makes him a target, [[Relay]] finds the left lane, which is clearer and moving quicker, and darts away. The pursuers follow. He then finds an opening and cuts right back into traffic without his blinker as if channeling the spirit of a BMW driver from generations before. The van slows to a crawl in the left lane behind him, but two of the bikers speed past, and one slows down. Relay drops his eyeball drones out the window and attempts to dart the slower biker and van driver now that the shot will not cause a crash at lethal speeds. The gangers' motorcycle leathers manage to deflect enough of the needle's penetration to stop the Narco.

			[[Relay]] darts out again, trying to find a non-lethal option that doesn't endanger other drivers. With the speed of his car, he manages to clear some distance between himself and the gangers before coming up on a large crane. Utilizing one last eyeball drone, he darts the crane operator with narcojet. The operator slumps forward onto the controls, dumping the crane's payload onto the bridge. Gunning the sportscar's engine, [[Relay]] darts just under the payload as it crashes to the bridge, separating himself from the gangers with no lethal repercussions. As he drives away, [[Relay]] drops a message onto the commlink of one of the motorcyclists: ''You can do better. You can BE better.''

==Summary==
