Summary

The runners thwart a mad scientist's plan to sell AI powered, highly dangerous, potentially lethal pilot technology to Wuxing with the power of Mecha and Slice of Life Shoujo Anime.

Background

A small Corp called "Newtype Industry" and their Mad Scientist have created a frightening new Weapon - A Walker that utilizes an AI aid system to create a high lethal weapon of war with the intent to market it around for the highest bidder. Concerned parties want contracted help to identify the legitimacy of this weapon and if it exists, to sabotage it.

The Meet

The Runners meet with a middle-aged Japanese Man in a dark alley way to discuss business. The Johnson explains the situation regarding Newtype Industries, creating the weapon, and his skeptism that the weapon exists. Nevertheless, the weapon cannot go onto the market if it does. The Johnson also outlines a few leads of people photographed as meeting with Newtype:
The first picture shows three people, dressed in varying clothes. One in the center, an orc, is dressed in a fine suit. To his side, an elven woman outfitted in an armored jacket, carrying weapons, and a human man working a commlink, or perhaps a deck. The woman's armor bears an insignia which reads "Hastam Solis".
The second picture shows two men in suits. They lack any distinctive characteristics beyond the fact that they are both east asian.
The third picture shows a single person: a large, imposing man, with long silver hair and eerie golden eyes.
The fourth picture shows a large group of around 5 people, all wearing suits, clearly showing themselves as four lackeys around a boss, one of them lighting their boss' cigar with an elegant silver lighter. The lighter is engraved with the figure of a snake.

The Johnson offers a frankly silly amount of money for this job, which trips every shadowrunner alarm from here to Vancouver, which tips the runners that the threat of the weapon existing maybe more credible than meets the eye. But the crew decides that this payday is too good to pass up and take the job.

The Plan

The plan is to do legwork on the individuals, and surreptiously gather information on them, gauage their interest and see if they were privvy to any details of this new weapon that is convincing enough of the weapon's existence, or if its all just corporate buzzword bullcrap.

The crew also prepares to find this head Scientist (who they don't know the identity of at this point) and bring em in to ask some questions.

Then destroy the super weapon if it exists (Somehow?!?)

Profit
