Summary
A horrid job of corporate retribution, one that could have ended in a lot of dead runners and bad news, ended up with a surprisingly warm ending...somewhat by accident.
Background
A group of 5 runners - Manticore, Desperado, Shroud, Luna, and a temporary member named Honest Jack - took on a hooding job to steal a highly dangerous artifact from one particular Federatio Boeing. An Alexander James Brodrick Johnson II, was in charge of gathering people to utterly ruin these runners. Not just get their revenge - make an example out of these hooders. And for what?
A mana siphon.
...I'm sure it's fine.
The Meet
The various runners Alexander selected for this nasty endeavor were picked up on a street corner in Touristville in a limo to keep the talk discreet and on the move. Soltaire, Čarivnýk, Lumina, Limitless, and Pockets all patiently (or impatiently) waited for the J to arrive. They unceremoniously piled into the thing and heard his terms - kidnap these other runners for 20k nuyen a piece.
Limitless...walked on this. And so Alexander replaced her with a more amenable woman - Tsarina, who had no qualms about this task. She did however, negotiate for bolthole security juuuuuuust in case these runners had friends who would become problems should they learn about their runners' disappearance, and with Čarivnýk's useful mention - half up front. With that deal secured, the team was let out to start their investigations.
The Plan
The original plan was rather...loose. With the amount of facing potential the 5 of them had on this little ragtag group, they thought they could ingratiate themselves into the group over time, get them somewhere vulnerable, and then either poison them or eliminate them. However, Soltaire performed a divination on Tsarina and found out that one of these 5 were immune to poison.
He thought Honest Jack was an immortal elf
With that conclusion jumped on, the plan was very swiftly changed: Try to negotiate around the thousands year old (apparently) runner, because no they were not going to be able to deal with an immortal elf.
