	~~Over the fence, and the mage goes in silently on foot~~ - ~~sneaking to the corner~~ of the home. A quick spell to stick to the wall, and she clambers up. Into one room she goes - then invisibly she sneaks past one guard and a camera. Her luck's excellent - she finds the safe room immediately.		On-site work starts with Oberon scouting around - listening out for any signs of activity from the gang.

	~~A close call with~~ a ~~tamper system inspires her to use~~ a ~~silencing spell~~ to ~~keep~~ the ~~guards~~ from ~~hearing her. Three safes later~~, ~~she~~'s ~~secured data~~, ~~nuyen~~, ~~and~~ a ~~picture of Yamada's personal business~~.		As he investigates, he's called out to by a ganger in a store, pushing drugs. After asking for something extra (and mentioning a couple hundred nuyen), the Nocturna gets a nod and an invitation to come in the back so he can get it. The warning from Insight comes a bit late - he's jumped by multiple gangers, who stick him up - and charge triple price for the drugs he's bought. Fuming, he leaves - going to find a place to open his ears. Luckily, his patience is rewarded - quickly, he learns that a supply run is due to show up soon.

	~~Careful spellwork and footwork~~ later, and ~~she slips away~~.		The runners set up stakeout positions, Zenith taking a place above to shoot down on their target when he meets the Finns, Saint settling in to 'provide backup' - all while she fights the urge to start cutting the Finns down.

			When the time comes, Zenith's gunshot is unerring - down goes their target. Moments later, he runs interference to prevent Saint from rushing the Finns, and the team makes good on a quick escape.

	~~After being contacted by [[Sarah Snow]], Knack catches a ride north~~ to ~~meet with~~ a ~~woman named Ritz~~ - ~~who has~~ a ~~lead~~ on ~~some material which might get thugs that have been~~ hanging around ~~the neighborhood to buzz off~~. ~~The trick is that she needs someone to break into~~ the ~~place~~.		Runners receive information that brings them to a cop bar - where a room full of Knight Errant officers, both on and off duty, are hanging around and drinking. Wary eyes track the runners through.

	~~Apparently, Yakuza have been hanging around~~ the ~~neighborhood - identified as Kanagas by Ritz~~. ~~A not~~-~~very-anonymous tipoff by~~ a ~~member~~ of ~~that family who's apparently trying~~ to ~~discredit a rival has pointed her towards a piece~~ of ~~blackmail which might be able to take some heat off them~~. ~~A brief discussion of~~ the ~~expected problems~~ gets ~~Knack to conclude that she can handle~~ the ~~job without getting shot~~ - ~~so she accepts for a small payday~~, with the ~~promise that there will be credsticks on site~~ to ~~steal~~.		It takes only moments for the meet in the back room of the bar to go poorly. The still-weeping widow explains a small amount of the situation to the runners - and squabbling between the children of the streets and the officers who so often made their lives miserable begins. Saint flings insults, Oberon snipes away with snide remarks. Arguing heats up further - then Zenith smacks a pistol down onto the tabletop between the runners and the cops. That gets quiet and a major ratcheting of the tension - after which, the runners are able to negotiate with the officers for access to some case information to help their legwork along.

When a Halloweener reject named Chef kills a respected officer of Knight Errant at a mall riding the border between Yakuza and Triad territory, her wife wants to cook the Chef and his gang - the Snax Club - dead.

Wetwork's the job, and they'll do their best with it of course.
