Summary
Dennis Walling is a "weasel of a man", and the local manager of the Redmond Plascrete Plant. Jack Anders made the mistake of trying to fight for worker's rights in the 6th world, and is now seeking outside help to avoid the terrible consequences.
Background
The Plascrete Plant has been in operation for years. It is a very distant Ares subsidiary, and Dennis Walling has climbed its ranks from middle manager to head honcho. The only bad news for Walling, the real corpo suits want nothing to do with this have-not wrangling alcoholic. Walling is on the outs with his wife, Melissa, and working towards filing for divorce. What's more, he has put himself in a precarious position in pursuit of greater things. He has been stealing from the company, defrauding the plant as a whole and stealing wages from his workers, especially those who are known to be SINless and using a fake. Threats of exposing them as illegal workers is used constantly to badger them into submission. Even before anything happened, Walling was essentially the dictator of a major source of local employment. But, recently, Jack Anders made the mistake of standing up for his and his co-worker's rights, and even the word 'union' was thrown around! Walling is taking his time, but make no mistake, he plans to have Anders 'disappeared'. Anders has called in buddy, the fixer Big Donny to put a team together and help Redmond thrive.
The Meet
Big Donny is not a formal man. He calls the runners in to meet him at a local Redmond diner, Tony's. Immediately, the heavyset ork is extremely casual, buying the team a pancake breakfast and chatting with them casually. He has some kind of eastern accent, belying a possible history in Boston or New York. Donny lays out the job simply. Find some dirt on Walling and put him "on a leash". He says the best bet is finding Walling's personal logs of his fraud, as the coward Walling would be mortified to know he could be outed to his mother corp at the drop of the hat. Critical details to note are Walling's distrust of the matrix. Not a total techno-illiteracy, but a strange paranoia which has led him to carry several commlinks and utilize out of date non-wireless tech frequently.
The Plan
The initial legwork flows fairly easily. An in-depth matrix search done by Or@cle reveal's Walling's tense home life, his history of alcoholism, his favorite local bar, and home address. Arete has heard rumors of some decent magical security (at least a spirit or two) in this area, and wants to swing by in person to check it out. The team goes together in Korban's car, taking a look with their third eyes open. Huntress' keen assensing detects no major magical security, but the presence of at least two low force Water Spirits. The team decides to suit up before taking anything further.
A few hours after gathering their gear, Korban and Arete decide to check in with Walling's wife, Melissa. She is home, and while initially unsure about the situation, more than happy to throw her husband under the bus when given the opportunity. She all but confirms that Dennis' important records are being kept in his office, rather than in their home, and the runners make sure to promise her some good dirt on her husband (to assist in divorce proceedings).
That information being gathered, the next step is kidnapping Walling himself! Or@cle calls in their contact, Sn00p3r, who makes a connection with a local Street Doc who can rent the team out a 'back room' for a few hours. A fee
The Run
The team cases the local bar, where Walling is often seen drinking himself to oblivion. Walling arrives after staying late at work, and stays until the early hours of the morning, drinking the place dry. He eventually leaves / is kicked out around 2 AM. Korban stalks him as he passes by an alley, being able to easily knock him unconscious and stow him in the car quickly. By way of distraction, Or@cle hacks into a nearby car and sets the alarm to go off, spooking some and at least pulling the attention of all. The team quickly rides away.
