Summary

Carleton Moreau hires some runners to go to a museum, buy some trinkets, and deliver them to a wreck site in the St. Laurence River. The team buys a child's present from a parent, acquires souvenir's and Neijing goes diving in the river. The pieces are in place for the next step of Carleton's plan.

Background

Carleton Moreau wants to awaken a spirit of an old ocean liner for his own purposes. "One more Song line to activate and we'll have magical transportation connecting North America to Asia and Europe. Should be straight forward. No Triad involvement and Lung has given his blessing."

The Meet

Carleton call the runners together to provide him with assistance in acquiring some items and place them in a shipwreck in the St. Laurence River, the site of Canada's largest maritime disaster. He offers the runners 8,000 nuyen for their trouble, which the runners successfully negotiated up to 10,000. Carleton offers several means of transportation to the area of the run, including a private jet and an introduction to the Canadian Pacific Ghost Train, but ultimately the runners take the third option presented, Corf!

The Plan

The team decides to meet up with Corf at the Rick Steves Memorial Station, and per Corf's agreement with Carleton the ride is free this time. The team rides Corf to Montreal, and then sets to work locating the objects Carleton requested.

The Run

The runners visit the Site historique maritime de la Pointe-au-Père, and enter the Empress of Ireland Museum. Upon entering the gift shop, they find the trinkets they need in the gift shop, with the exception of one item. The Empress of Ireland model set had just sold out, and the team used their unique skillsets to locate the last model set sold. They successfully bribed the parent who purchased the last set, and bribed the set's current owner, a little girl, with ice cream to calm her tears. The runners then exfiltrated from the museum, and moved to the boat they were to use to arrive at the wreck site. On the way, the encountered but did not engage with members of the Hell Souls and Black Widow biker gangs. The two groups of gangers engaged with one another as the team continued to head towards the wreck site.

At the wreck site, Neijing jumped overboard and successfully placed the items within the wreck per Carleton's instructions. Job completed, the runners headed towards home.


Aftermath

Funk takes the footage of the fight between the Hell Souls and Black Widow biker gangs and sends it to Andre Monet, who gives Funk a chip for the info. Funk gives 250 nuyen to Glitch, Pete and Neijing in compensation, taken out of his run reward. About 10 days later, a little girl receives a surprise gift from her father in the mail, a Lego set that was bought for her that he had sold to some bizarre people in the museum the family was visiting. Her father didn't order it though...

Trashcan Pete

Been a while since my last gig. Good to wash my clothes, sleep in a bed, and eat warm food. I'll take care of the Nuyen I earned and pray that my next job comes sooner this time.

Too bad the black spiders lost some soldiers. It could have been a fun party. Better luck with that next time. There is always a next time.

[[Funk]

Always good to work for Carleton again. The free vehicle spirits are going to make it much easier to travel to various other parts of the world.
