Summary
BIRDS
A Team of professionals is hired to look into a mysterious swarm of birds on a particular set of the Tacoma docks. Upon arrival, they find birds of all kinds by the thousands. Using some investigation drones and magic, they quickly discover the culprit was Locust Spirits. Everyone proceeds to gear up and start shooting wildly into the birds, busting the door down, shooting dead all the bugs. They find strange Beast Foci inside the building, as well as a bomb, that the Large Locust at the top of the building triggered by throwing himself upon the trigger. The runners flee the scene as the dock below the building gives way, causing the building to fall into the ocean.
Background
BIRDS
A disturbance at the docks, in the form of hundreds of birds, killed several people. The Dockmaster, upset that his bribe money wasn't happening, hires runners to deal with the birds and make sure whatever caused it stops happening. He chose to use runners due to all the shady things happening on the docks and not wanting to get caught in all the bribery.
The Meet
BIRDS
The Johnson, one James Moses, was very straight with them, he wanted the problem to go away, so that the bribes would flow once again. As the dockmaster of that region, he had the power to sign off on whatever he pleased for the Triad. He quickly offered 10,000 Nuyen, which Snowman haggled another 2000 for "hazard pay" should it arise.
The Plan
BIRDS
The plan, much like the Johnson, was Legwork to determine the issue. A very stealthy drone was sent in by Scrappenny to look around to start off. Sure enough, they found a lot of birds. They also found a handful of security guards walking about, appearing to be on duty looking around with vacant expressions. Sneaking into one of the warehouses, the drone found two more goons preparing fish and birdseed. Unfortunately when they tried to enter the dockmaster's office building, the door Stymied the drone. Pell at this point it was time for magical investigation, summoning Harvey, a Force 11 spirit to repel any birds that would approach her to be a bother. it only took a few moments for Pell to break the masking of two of the many birds, discovering Scout Locust spirits inhabiting two of the hundreds of birds in the area. Suddenly this mission got a lot more serious.
The Run
BIRDS
Some of the team moves in(others just choosing to walk and watch)(YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE), beginning to open fire on the birds in formation. Many innocent birds were purged, and many more fled from the carnage. They halted there assault when nothing seemed to happen past that, just deciding to walk in. they moved to the main area where the warehouses were, noticing the lack of guards. Pell pointed out one of two bugs in the host of geese, and Lucky shot one with a bola, the other fleeing. Lucky took photos of his catch before proceeding to beat it into the ground until dead, the rest of the team deciding he was crazy. they enter the office building only to discover an ambush before lucky had even exited the vestibule. The ambush went very poorly, for the bug spirits. Everyone was dead within three seconds, and the only wound delivered was a wicked bruise to Lucky.

Snowman: "So just to be clear, the triad decided to blow up the docks cause they were all all jacked up on some cocktail of drugs. On a side note there may have been substantial insect spirit activity next door, someone should really look into that."
