			I..really need to talk to more qualified fixers about the threat scaling and my priority list for work. I know better than to take runner prioritized jobs but I was feeling squirrely. On the upside, I do not get paid often enough to nuke humanis from orbit with the level of intensity this ended up being. Call it a wash. I feel a compulsion to learn more ritual magic, the amount of North American Ritualists is clearly dwindling by the day due to shadow haven activities alone."

	And this resistance didn't end. Ardent was able to hack into their commlinks easily enough, though not without minor mishap, and pull the gist of the plan that the team leader knew. Gulliver, however, had to employ bloody persuasion to get the truth from her. The final picture was fairly optimistic; the runners had eliminated one of two fireteams. They knew there was Matrix support somewhere in the Tower, and that other than that the last group of resistance was a team of Mages.		And this resistance didn't end.

	Ardent once again was crucial for the next segment, as he was able to trace enough intel from the Host to tell that every device outside the Host but slaved to it also had a mark on it from a hacker. Further intel gave them an idea of what that Hacker's icon looked like. After asking Informer to track the Decker down, he was able to relay the Decker's location to Wraith whilst Poe took note of Informer's signature. Wraith did a quick wetwork job, simply shooting the man while he was asleep as it was 1 AM in the morning by now, and then headed to bed for a few hours. Poe, meanwhile, summoned a Task Spirit to help him bypass the bypass, then slept in the truck while he waited for go time.

	After using Search to track down the enigmatic woman, the team was able to track her down to a compound in the Redmond Barrens. Despite the ''heavy'' fortifications in place, amounting to several Force 6 wards protecting four watchtowers with overlapping fields of view and multiple guards in each surrounding a force 12 ward, the team decided to take the place by storm. A storm of shrapnel, that is. Wraith was able to ghost in to the compound and install explosives onto each tower, tamping them toward the guards and triggering them simultaneously. Between the sheer damage of the explosives and the horrific shrapnel, the guards were essentially deleted.

Between the sheer damage of the explosives and the horrific shrapnel, the guards were essentially deleted.

	The result was near-immediate, but insufficient; six gun ports opened up and began opening fire on the surrounding area blindly. Wraith began picking off targets and Poe immediately had to move away as a Radar nearly gave away his position. His only saving grace was that Wraith had brought a scrambler with her, and so he was able to quickly move positions. This turned out to be timely, as four spirits manifested in his previous location, hovering back home after seeing nothing there.

This turned out to be timely, as four spirits manifested in his previous location, hovering back home after seeing nothing there.

	Wraith systematically disassembled the defenses while moving positions frequently. Poe took out the other side to a degree, while his Guardian Spirit began eliminating the watchers. After a while, he turned his attention instead to the spirits that were trailing after his Guardian sluggishly and debilitated them before twisting two with Mind Magic to attack their summoners. That didn't last long before they were unsummoned, however, by that point it was too late; Wraith had eliminated the opposition.

	The three remaining Mages inside the compound were surprisingly resilient, able to throw up a physical barrier and then retreat into the citadel in the center of the compound. While they'd summoned two spirits, they didn't have time to manifest before the team had debilitated the Mages with a potent illusion and some stick-n-shock rounds. This was not a simple situation, however; the Mages were miraculously surviving everything to this point!
