Summary

The team get hired by the Laesa syndicate to wet-work an individual. As much as they could send some of their own individuals to do it, runners are expendable assets, and don't require re-arranging what people are doing to fix.

Background

An individual by the name of Virgil Haynes has owed the Laesa Syndicate a substantial amount of money for a substantial amount of time. The syndicate is bored of his excuses and bulldrek, so hire a couple of runners to ensure he does not continue to go about breathing. It's easier to make money disappear back into the syndicate's pocket if it's not being watched closely.

The Meet

The Johnson asked to meet the team in a bar in Downtown. The name was written in Sperethiel, and the team prepared for dealing with far more elves than they expected to. On their arrival, pushed AROs allowed them to skip the queue. Once inside, Ansel pushed through the teeming mass of bodies and they headed downstairs to the basement levels, where the lasers and neon lights of the club above were replaced by plain white lights. Their Johnson, an elf with an attitude problem, asked if they were willing to geek an individual for 22,000. When the team started asking more questions, he refused to say anything further, pointing out that until they were bound by contract of the job, divulging information would be a breach of OpSec. Having established his position as a Johnson who plays hard-ball, he flat out refused Ironclad's attempts to negotiate for extra cash. The runners get a basic run down of the information the syndicate has, including a last seen location. A decision is made that the NuYen will be paid on receipt of Virgil's head, as physical proof the deed is done.

The Plan

There was no plan, the team chose to throw caution to the wind. That being said, they did call a few contacts and discovered he was still in the area, as well as discovering that there was an operation to start cooking drugs, specifically Bliss, to compete with the other syndicates and gangs in the area.

Aftermath

As they speed away from the warehouse, the sober gangers in the warehouse take potshots at a retreating Maria. Ansel laughs, for she does not get hit. The team take the head of Virgil Haynes back to the Johnson, who authorises the payment to go through. He's happy to work with (mostly) competent individuals, and will take news of their accomplishments back to the Laesa Syndicate
