Summary

After a run interrupted by a mysterious coffin in the Mojave, the corp Genqo decides to step up and press-gang the runner team for a job. Something was stolen from them, and Freydalia wants it back.

Background

Jonah of the Jester's Crown has stolen a data chip from Genqo, and with a digital scream from a mysterious black box in the desert allowing the corp to finally collect an old treasure, they can focus on their ganger issue.

The Meet

By the power of a small corp military showing up to get the box, a fuckload of guns being pointed at the runners, and a very tall woman with premium chrome from years ago, the party was told to get in the choppers and come for a ride.

Arriving at the spire, they were informed of the datachip they need to retrieve, as well as being given a hotel should they need it, and a brief run down on the issues in Red that the Genqo has.

The party accepts the deal with a 20k payday promise, and a bonus five up front.

The Plan

Well, the party did a ton of legwork, sussing out the culture and the way the city worked. But ultimately after meeting a few people, they decided to throw their dice and fly by the seat of their pants.

The Run

Winding up at Red's Finest after meeting a whole bunch of people, and a POGChat ad for it, the party finds out that Spire legend Mateo is present, and he's here today to meet with Jonah.

Red Ribbon has a look about the matrix for the club and finds that there's a safe under the bar.

Jonah and Mateo head into the backroom to discuss something, while Marrisa starts a drinking contest as a distraction. It works, and the bar tender suddenly has to deal with 12 people drinking a lot, right as Chameleon sneaks by wearing a full RPC cloak and being sneaky as hecc in a club environment.

They open the safe and nap the chip, making a run for the door.

Aftermath

The party gets out scratch-free as no one has noticed them and Pasiphae hauls the slightly drunk Marrisa out.

Red Ribbon reaches out to the mechanic lady she met who installed an anti-theft system on her hellhound and offers her a way out of the mix and the Spire all together.

She agrees, but with hesitation.

The party reports back to Freydalia and Genqo, and they're flown off-site back to Seattle with their toys.

Player After Action Reports (AARs)

Chameleon: I thought I might have imposter syndrome but this run proved that it's not a syndrome. I've been touting myself as having good language skills. Yeah, right. When it was actually important to know a language how did it turn out? Ancient Sumerian 1, Chameleon 0. I've developed a new appreciation for hostile extractions now that I've been kidnapped. It's basic courtesy to provide food & water to the victim. Genqo corporation can eat my shorts & that slitch Freydalia gets the first bite. Speaking of bites, this is the second run in a row with a vampire encounter. This is not a good trend. Lets see now...I have roughly 6 hours of video of that coffin & its inscriptions...15 minutes of Freydalia in her office in the Spire....a whole matrix chock full of media outlets...

I need to arrange a get together with Marisa, Pasiphae, and Red Ribbon. Maybe a dinner fit for royalty will make up for the reservation at the Bellevue Hotel that I made. MIX LYFE BABEE!!
