Summary
A group of ghouls want a building cleared out for unknown reasons. What's inside is anybody's guess.
Background
When the 162's want a building cleared out, they call in a couple of runners from outside their org. Unusual behavior for them by any means - normally, they'd refuse to work with non-infected. Maybe having one ghoul on the team is what convinced them they could work with these folks?
The Meet
Outside an abandoned warehouse in the Barrens, Johnson lays out the requirement - clear out everything in there that could shoot or harm the 162's, then you'll get paid. After a fair bit of negotiation, the party manages to arrange a bonus - 500 additional nuyen per human corpse left inside the building. Gruesome, but not unexpected for a ghoul gang.
The Plan
Scouting occurs - the building is located immediately across the street from where Johnson met the team. Things look normal enough on the matrix, but Son O' Lugh gets a worrisome audio snippet from inside - a worries man, weeping over getting his face chewed off. With no clear view from the outside and no better options, the team decide to start kicking doors.
The Run
Progress is slow and measured, Nines guiding the team along with her tactical training, Bloodletter taking point in case a ghoul is the foe the mysterious audio recording refers to. The building's largely vacant up until the third floor - where a man goes for a gun when the door is kicked open. The trio inside are set upon by the team - Nines blowing one away with a shotgun blast, Bloodletter charging in and cutting down a second, and Son O' Lugh taking down the third. In an instant, the party's MO changes - they clear the rest of the building quicker, taking down one more man who might have been reaching for a gun.
It's as they're preparing to head to the basement that an ear-piercing howl rings out. Bloodletter freezes stiff but manages to collect herself. Lugh falls to the ground, unable to move (but still able to deck). And Nines?
Nines is still ready to rock, and she starts by chucking a flashbang. A gruesome blow from Bloodletter's axe and another shotgun blast later, and the party has dispatched the critter that was terrorizing the building and its occupants.
On the way out, Lugh notes a hidden door on the matrix - but on finding that it could hit him harder than he could hit it (on the matrix), the party called it quits and collected their pay.
Aftermath
After delivering the news to Johnson, the party is paid and off to spend their hard-earned cash. A straightforward, mildly terrifying, very bloody run.
