	This metaplot deals with a bounty hunt - 24 names to be dead by the 1st of September 2081. Runs involving the hunt expose preferably player-organised teams to one (or more) of the bounties, to be delivered to an assessor in a modern castle estate on Herron Island, in the Seattle sounds.

	Valois is (supposedly) a middle-man, hired by an undisclosed group to present a list of bounties. Appearing inside the Shadowhaven guest node, he offered 32,000 nuyen for the head of each person from the list. This was greeted initially with great interest, but soon people began to worry about who was on the list.

	There are several individuals on this list that seem to have strong ties. It starts with Barbara Sykes, who was researching the effects of Halley's comet, which caused the SURGE and creation of natural orichalcum, the latter disappearing when the comet left. Note that orichalcum has not occurred naturally before or since this time that we know of, but it can be made artificially by a capable alchemist. She revealed that some people were caught in an explosion/explosions that resulted in them being exposed to Orichalcum. This exposure has given them a very powerful resistance to mind magic, to the point of repelling Deimos, one of the strongest mages on the Haven. Linked to this case are Briana Rasmussen, Aiden Cooper, and one more unnamed person who Brianna indicated but is not indicated in Haven files. It may also involve one other, but this is based off speculation. This last one has a time frame for the exposure of approximately 5 weeks prior to the posting of the list. Aisa Hirito was also caught in an explosion, which means she may also be related to this group. Dr. Boo has mentioned that another target is also involved in research regarding SURGE and/or "heavy metal poisoning." This may also be related. In total, we are looking at at least 6 individuals who are very likely connected through one thread; this is incredibly unlikely to occur from 24 randomly selected individuals.

	The other observation noted is that many of these have also upset their superiors. The Haven has discussed and many agree it is a possibility that Valois' list is not a single list, necessarily, but multiple lists combined together.

	Alternatively, there is another working theory that it is a single list with multiple red herrings, probably the more criminal types, in order to throw people off track and/or convince people that no matter how nice these people seem, they are on the same level as Humanis and Hand of Five members by virtue of sharing a list.

	Possibile things to look into: Was Aisa in an Orichalcum explosion? William Toten was treating an epidemic in the Ancients. Was this related to the first group? Is he a part of the second group, an unrelated hit?

	And it would be neglectful not to mention the e-ghost Madame, who seems opposed to Valois and refuses to be in the host while he is. Madame has given two major pieces of information: the address of a host that may have answers (?), and that there is a ritual in preparation that “must be stopped.”

	There is some indication that the castle in which bounties are taken (owned by Lucky Inc., a gambling company, and whose CEO, or at least their face, operates the ferry running between Tacoma and the island) is a mage trap and there may be something sinister lurking below. Viper, in a conversation with the supposed CEO, indicated his father bought the island, and that most of his coworkers were spirits. Shamrock also indicated that the father performed some kind of ritual on the island, causing centuries of growth to occur over 50 years.

	~~You're forgetting the SURGE. They are related somehow. [[Dr-Boo\|Dr. Boo]] ([[Dr-Boo#ShadowGrid_Profile_Comments\|talk]])~~

	~~I'm not hugely sure, but wasn't the ferryman dude the CEO of Herron Land Holdings, the subsidiary? - [[Deimos]] ([[Deimos#ShadowGrid_Profile_Comments\|talk]])~~

	~~Re: Madame; it seems less she doesn't want to appear in the host and more cannot appear in the Matrix while Valois can access it. Hence, we had to acquire a dummy head. -[[Tanuki]]~~

	Some kinda weird, ancient, powerful summoning/weather magic thing's going down, drawing on the ambient abundant mana of the island, which itself may technically be made from a form of sacrifice magic, albeit a self-sacrifice due to drain, like the people killed performing the Great Ghost Dance, but thankfully on a much smaller scale. -[[Witchblade]]
