Summary
S-K Prime decides to fight Dissonance with Dissonance and hires Geodesic and Caliban to hunt down a suspected Ex Pacis associate. They get in over their heads.
Background
The Third Universal Matrix Conference is in full swing. Saeder-Krupp, a major corporate attendee, suspects outside parties to attempt to disrupt or assault the conference, among those being Ex Pacis, the Dissonant technomancer tribe. Amrei Veidt, under the moniker "G01d3nI", reaches out to hire Geodesic and Caliban to trail a suspected contact, B1@ckb1rd, testing whether their corruption by Dissonance will enable them to withstand it better.
The Meet
Geo and Caliban head into the Shadowhaven host G01d3nI requested they meet her at, suppressing their intense discomfort to do so. They sit down after a moment, Geodesic confused but friendly, Caliban vaguely hostile, and G01d3nI explains the situation. They are told she wants them to head to New York, the site of the Third Universal Matrix Convention, where a known technomancer and possible terrorist B1@ckb1rd is posing as a pizza delivery man. They believe he is meeting with an organized group plotting to attack the convention, and want the two runners to tail him and find evidence of this plot. G01de3nI offers 30,000 nuyen each, plus travel expenses. Despite warnings that each have received about the situation in New York City, they both agree.
