Summary
Vic brings our team a "straightforward" extraction that takes them on an international bullet train to weirdsville as they end up a summit of increasingly bizarre parties, and ultimately lead to betray their client with an offer they can't refuse.
Background
Marcy Zhang, aka Episilom Grey was an early admission prodigy to MIT&T, who took a Senior trip with her father and met Pierre Duboise and Madalyn Zaropfsky of the Realism church. She saw a chance to ascend out of a boring life strapped to the Wuxing hierarchy and out of the tradition and jumped on it. Her father had other ideas, contracting Vic to hire a running team to retrieve her,but ultimately not trusting the team and forcing their hand to a resolution that did not end well for him.
The Meet
Vic meets the team at Lakewood Shezan in Tacoma and lays out the basics, ultimately convincing them to take the job at rate and stonewalling most advanced measures.
He does give the team their initial 20K operator fund and informs them that's all he's got from the client so far.
The team stays and a couple of them eat lightly before they decide to search out the target using spirits and a a magical approach and realize she is likely not in the Seattle Metroplex that night.

"Well that was... a thing. Not sure which was stranger, the cult of aliens, the Realies, the Wuxing folks, or the fact that this ultimately turned into a really fraggin' epic case of Mommy/Daddy issues. Therapy, therapy for all you bitches." - Invictus
