Summary
Santa's presents for the good little boys and girls in Dallas has been stolen! He needs a group of Runners to help him get them back!
Background
Saint Nick was flying toward Boise on his sleigh when he was intercepted by a yertzed out BMW Trollhammer, rebuilt to look like a sleigh. It flew up on rotors, whereupon a dessicated, blue corpse jumped onto Santa's Sleigh, stole his presents, and hopped onto their own ride. Saint Nick, naturally, wants these guns back, but since the tags they'd installed in the presents were fried, they only have a general location. Assuredly by now the guns are in a secure location. Saint Nick wants some runners to track down the guns and get them back.
The Meet
Zero receives a message from Whistleblower with a new job. Jerry Can lets Snickerdoodle know they've got run for nearby that'll be worth some good Nuyen for drugs. Garuda receives a call from Daniel "Lucky" Guivera, and finally Sang Monyet got a call from Angélica Cabral, relieved to finally have something to do. With coordinates set, the Runners converge on Santa's Workshop; Snickerdoodle, most notably, on a bike. After briefly terrifying and baffling the security, Saint Nick explains the situation--After offering Novacoke cookies, of course--And offers access to their Krime Wing to drop the team in nearby.
The Plan
After Garuda scans through the Matrix with the help of Zero, they're able to determine that the "corpse" wasn't a corpse at all--It was a highly customized Drone, used by a Rigger going by the name Jack Frost. They're a severe FastJack fanboy, and after FastJack's disappearance they'd made a drone based on them. After confirming that, anthrodrone notwithstanding, Jack Frost is nothing special, they opted to fly in closer and figure out what's going on. Zero agreed to drive in on her Thundercloud Morgan. When closer to the site, Garuda was able to spot a Host five miles out through the Matrix, along with devices interspersed throughout the forest tied to the Host. After setting up camp, Snickerdoodle went about summoning a spirit and Garuda began scouting out the surroundings. After their fly-spy evading detection of the cameras, the guards, the Mage, and the Decker(!!!), they were able to get a good look at the entire group. Everything was looking easy. Up until Snickerdoodle got a good eye on the Astral, and found a Force 20 Barrier set up, along with four patrols of two watchers. For a Sasquatch, that was completely impassable. No chance for them to infiltrate.
