Summary

Mr. Neil heard there was a new runner in Seattle, and was interested in making connections. To make sure she was legit, he tasks her with finding where a contacts of his has ended up.

Background

Ol' Tony, a contract worker who had several dealings with Mr. Neil in the past, was asked to go check on gang activity on the Puyallup docks. Unfortunately, he got caught and captured, and after loosing contact with him, Mr. Neil became somewhat worried. As it happened, he had also heard a new runner was in the Seattle, and decided to kill two birds with one stone: Find his friend, and seeing if this runner was worth making connections for.

The Meet

Mr. Neil approached Silence in a coffee shop, striking up small talk before mentioning that he was able to help people find work. Him and Silence leave the coffee shop to talk, where Mr. Neil reveals he's a fixer that likes helping out new talent, and wanted to bring Silence into his stable of runners. He gave the explorer a quick task to test her skills: find his associate, who had gone missing up in the Puyallup docks. Silence agrees, and gets to work.

The Plan

Silence headed down to the docks, looking around for any clues. She saw someone rushing by nervous, and went over to talk to them. After some brief fast talking, Silence noticed his gun, and tripped up so she could get a chance to use psychometry on it. Finding out that he fired his gun recently, she left and followed him on the astral. Following him to one hideout, she heard him talk to someone about someone they captured, who was apparently also a bear. She followed him and the reinforcements to a warehouse, where several other gangers had a bear tied down.

The Run

Silence waited for a few of the people to leave, and planted explosives on the door and far wall of the area. Projecting out to lay the beatdown on their aware, Silence alerts the gangers, who go to leave, setting off one of the bombs. Thankfully for the gangers, it was a pretty low yield bomb, only battering them instead of turning them to mist. Shy Knocks them out with stick and shock rounds, and goes in to find the bear the gangers tied up. While initially uncooperative, Silence gets Mr. Neil on the line on a hunch, and manages to confirm the bear is Tony, and tell him she was their to help. The two leave the docks to go back to Mr. Neil.

Aftermath

Mr. Neil and Tony talk about the gang activity they wanted to know about, and Mr. Neil helps Silence get situation in the shadows of Seattle.
