I even managed to not screw up my infiltration and exfiltration with my drones, so I guess that makes me a real rigger now.

Summary
The gang goes on a mystery hunt across Seattle to return the missing mentee of a masterful magi. Finding that the Halloweeners are in on it, they plan to careful extract, and do extract, the target from a bed of chaos that lays within the Halloweener's Hallo-hideout.
Background
The mysterious Mistress Mirie Rowe, the magical icon and archon just outside Seattle. Always keeping to themselves, until one day that is, they find someone worth mentoring. Opening up their doors to this person, her harsh judgement and callous instincts help them improve their magical capabilities. Yet, it seems their relationship may be somewhat dysfunctional. Even so, when her prodigy disappears, she sends for runners to retrieve her precious pupil.
The Meet
The team meet a one Walter Dorie at the Daze. After being berated by Walter for minutes on end for being 'hooligans' the team agrees to take the job and heads out for planning.
The Plan
Manashoes uses Divination to understand what could potentially happen or happened to the target, Feliz. It reveals very little other than a cryptic message of a cat with a mark on its eye. The team thinks that the target could potentially be a shifter! Matrix checking from Trades reveals that Feliz' car was parked within the borders of Redmond, actually close to where they were now. Sensors and rolling back the camera feed reveals that Feliz was having a good day before being inexplicably turned into a cat; be it through shifting or other magic.
The team also then reaches out to party girl and Halloweener Roxxy Sparks for info on the Halloweeners that had abducted Feliz. Not wanting to get involved in inter gang conflict, and wanting to keep the relationship between herself, Trauma, and Trades well, the trio decided to instead leave things be, but they had still found the location of Feliz.
The Run
Finding the location of Feliz, the team immediately homes in on her location. Trades begins with a matrix perception and finds a PAN associated with a deck that keeps getting away. Unsure of how to handle the situation, the team deliberates to get a clearer picture on what should they do. Smash a car? Pay a Ransom? Geek them all?
Spirit searches do turn up the targets location, and a drone search brings up the actual location they're in; a room in the abandoned hotel, locked by a regular window lock seemingly. They anguish over the security of the place, being stacked with guards, matrix, guns, potentially drones, and even mana barriers. Yet, in a flash of brilliance, they decide for a cunning plan that would leave them vulnerable if caught.
Trade's drone, Trauma's spirit, and Manashoe's casting allow them a sneaky path into and out of the building. The smash and grab almost works, but Trades gets spotted by the on sight decker. Facing a potential serious data spike, Trades full defends and is able to loto them in return, forcing the decker to boot off and take dump shock.
Aftermath
Returning Feliz to Walter, the team is paid. Perhaps a pang of guilt or unsureness hits the team, as things don't seem entirely well between them both...
