			Well, that was comically low stakes compared to what normally gets filtered into the Haven.

			Anyway, these new guys were competent, and have good heads on their shoulders. They'd make prime runners if they continue on the trajectory they're on. Should go without saying that I wouldn't mind running with them again.

	The buzz in the matrix gaming scene is focused on the upcoming title, "Corsairs of the Seven Seas 6". The anticipated follow-up to the controversial, "Corsairs of the Seven Seas 5", it promises an return to form, an enticing call to all fans of the franchise, including one [[SignificantNPC::Agustin Diaz]]. Agustin, a long time fan of the line, was ecstatic at the news and quickly became consumed by the leadup. Once he heard that a nearby Gaming and Matrix supply store, GameCo, was going to be hosting a launch event, he knew that he had to get his hands on the limited edition merch. To his horror though, with the event the next day, people had already begun to line up outside, waiting for a chance to get their grubby hands on what should be his. As standing like a plebian ~~outside~~ a GameCo was below him, he needed to contract outside help to get the prize.

	==The Meet==		==The Meet==

	Agustin called for a evening meet in a grimy Renton parking lot. Pell arrived first, hiding in a corner for reasons. Not long after, Strobe roared in inside her heavily modified vehicle, causing a noise hazard for quite some distance. The other two just kind of showed up eventually. Pell, hiding still, made contact over DNI, as they waited for the J to arrive. As they made awkward small talk standing around in the relatively empty parking lot, time passed and the J still hadn't shown. Eventually, late and unhurried, a limo pulled into the lot.

	With a ~~practice~~ air, Agustin strode out, surveying his hired minions. The minions were not impressed at first glance. Further conversation confirmed ~~their opinions~~. Agustin was a self-centered, arrogant, corporate prick. However, he was a drekhead that was paying. Agustin explained the situation, telling the group about the importance of the upcoming game, and of the replica ship he needed to acquire. Strobe, by chance, actually had played the previous title and spoke up in defense of it when Agustin trashed it. They had a quick spat on the superiority of modern vs classical naval gaming, before remembering the ~~positions~~ they were in and ~~continuing~~ the negotiations. Led by Barracuda, and aided by the team, they managed to score pay beyond "exposure", with the promise of 2000 nuyen ~~for the~~ each ~~of them~~. With that, Agustin tossed them a burner commlink and left, leaving the team to their task.		With a practiced air, Agustin strode out, surveying his hired minions.

	Pell flawlessly fooled the camera, and additionally used a spirit to conceal the team, hiding them from what could lurk within. Wrifter bypassed the maglock, and the infiltration team was free to enter. Making their way past a few more locks, they quickly found themselves in the store's office. Inside, a large safe presented a strong potential lead. Thankfully, rather than having to bypass the security invasively, they soon found the manager's code scrawled down. As the safe's door swung open, amidst the layered mediocrity within, they found a box. Inside the tattered cardboard box, were the ships, tossed about and in varying conditions. Picking around, the trio managed to find some samples that would satisfy the J.

Picking around, the trio managed to find some samples that would satisfy the J.

	Outside though, things were going slightly less smoothly. Earlier, Strobe walked by the camping fans, casually trashing the upcoming game and letting it slip that the prior installment was vastly superior. Unable to keep that dig to their identities pass freely, one bold member of the troupe stood forward to face the intruder. Dressed as a pirate and carrying a foam sword, he brandished it at Strobe, calling the elf out for her vile words. Tensions soon became quite heated, and the wannabe-pirate threw his sword at Strobe. The hit was only glancing, and, being a foam sword, the only true wound was to Strobe's pride. As they approached each other, violence in their eyes, one of the other pirate fans, being radically unaccustomed to any form ~~of violence~~, called Knight Errant in a panic. KE Dispatch, reluctantly notified the nearest unit, which happened to be the sleeping officer. Woken from his nap, and cranky to have to deal with this, he slowly began to drive over to the scene.

	Strobe, still monitoring the KE agent by drone, realized the danger. Somehow, against all odds, he managed to mend ~~bridges~~ the ~~bridges~~ between the Corsairs of the 5th and those of the 6th, reminding the pirate man of the absolute waste of time that this was. With heads cooled, Strobe brought the rather sweaty man into a hug, staining her jacket. When the irate KE officer arrived, he reamed them for wasting his time and threatened to detain them if anything happened in the future. Suitably cowed, the gamers retreated, and Strobe was free to leave.		Strobe, still monitoring the KE agent by drone, realized the danger.
