Summary

The team is asked by Thomas Warloff to get back his paperwork on a thesis of a new proposal for plascreet he was thinking of. Money and power hungry, the Forked Fangs who preyed upon Thomas get defanged.

Background

Thomas Warloff is always bad off when it comes to dating, and this time was no different. Asked to a runner bar under the guise of a date, he was robbed almost immediately as he got there. In his bag was a paper he was working on, along with his personal belongings. He hired runners Omen and Rosalia to get it back!

The Meet

Through fixers, Thomas asks the teem to meet in a department store with a call and response; "What's better, subs or dubs? > Both are equally good". However, when asked, Thomas goes on a diatribe and is unable to at the start realize he was speaking with the runners in question. After being gently nudged, he invited them to DNI and the trio split ways to keep things mundane seeming, while also being able to try and yap them all up about the model kits he oh so loved.

The general understanding of the situation was Thomas felt that he was targeted and robbed given a recent discovery and publishing on P2.0 about his upcoming thesis. The thesis in question he streamlined when speaking with the runners, but mentioned that he felt he was going to revolutionize the way the modern world used plascreet.

Given how important his satchel with the paper and in progress copy of his thesis, he asked the team to get it back for him for 4000 nuyen.

The Plan

The duo of Rosalia and Omen start to pry into what happened with Thomas. He had posted online and then very soon after found a match on his commlink's Liebesekretar. Not being able to realize the potential trap, he headed down to the local dive and was promptly liberated of his dreams of a date, and his belongings. Thinking about the subject and the story Thomas had gone over, the duo realize that it might be due to the work of the 'Forked Fangs', a small time go-gang that uses snakes as a motif in their tattoos.

Deciding to check out the bar, Omen and Rosalia do find that there is a Forked Fang member, and steak out the bar. Lying in wait, the duo plant a tracker on the unwitting member, who then heads foolishly back to their hideout.

The Run

After approaching the building, the team find hiding at the front door an invisible Twinned Fang member, as well as a spirit floating around the astral. Deciding on what to do, Rosalia and Omen decide to try a peaceful method.
