			===[[Zenith]]===
			Going coast-to-coast is always fun, and getting to spend some time back in the sprawl, even if it was just transitory, helps keeps me centered. The fact that we were going to be checking out one of Big D's old haunts was even better. I don't have a lot of "heroes" in my life, and a Great Dragon being on that list is a little weird, but I admire what he represented for the UCAS, he was a change from the Brackhaven's of the world.

			Seeing the future is bulldrek and I don't get how the detective does it, but at least it gave us a kind of in. It showed us that secret entrance that the drake used to get in, and we were able to get in without dealing with the rest of the Dragon's goons. Admittedly a big fraggin' spirit and a Drake are enough goon for several runs. Especially when chummer had already found what we wanted when we got there, but turns out that a Drake doesn't like being shot in the bits any more than a metahuman does. A bottle of Laes and some assurances made later, and I think we don't have a Dragon on our hoops, but I worry about [[Mara]]. She got seen, and if she ends up a lead back to the rest of the drek we're tied up in, that's a problem. Guess that's someone else I gotta watch over.

			===[[Relay]]===
			I was living a double life before: being a runner and being a trauma victim. That had its hiccups, but I find this new arrangement to be infinitely more difficult. Having put myself out into the open, it becomes imperative that I keep physical space between other runners and myself. This is easy enough at times, but travel is going to be problematic. I did not have the proper tools for this job, and someone could have died because I'm attempting to protect myself and the organization I'm building.

			[[Mara]] and [[Zenith]] deserve better than that. I have to find a balance that is successful, or I need to bow out of one game or another. I have gotten so used to the feel and power and precision of the sniper rifle that I had forgotten the difference in its stopping power when compared with the more traditional assault rifles.

	In the ampitheater they see a metahuman, the Atlantean Foundation representative that Zenith saw ealier, holding the object they are after. He appears to be examining it closely and before he appears to notice them, the group gets in position. The figure causally turns to regard them and two guardian spirits appear behind the group. Before he can monologue, Zenith shoots him, both he and Mara ready to grab the idol. The combat continues with the drone, spirits, Mara and Zenith and the mystery figure all making moves to attack or protect the idol. During this fight the ~~form~~ transforms into a drake, but he's leveled by a genital and neck shot while Mara attempts to protect the others from the spirits.

			===[[Mara]]===
			Not how imagined first seeing a dragon. It still chills my blood to remember it coming out of the water. And the size of the fireball. I'm not sure why I looked at it's Aura, but some part of me is glad I did as it was spectacular. In the end, though, not the smartest thing to do. I can only hope that he didn't see mine, though it seems safest to assume he did.

			The job itself was straight forward in principle, though, as with anything the simplest tasks can turn out to be the most complicated. We were fortunate to have convince Vermithrax's drake that we were more hapless than we were. I feel a little bad for leaving him in such a state, but I know he would not have pitied us if we were corpses in that amphitheater.

			* [[Zenith]] - Lived up to his claims of professionalism. Despite his attempts to keep me at a distance, I find his attempts to be gruff entertaining. I can guess that he has a warm side to him, though he makes certain I don't see it. His skills with a gun certainly live up to the hype.
