In which Fennec and the crew put the "casual" into "civilian casualties."

Background

Civil war in Indonesia is anything but as the Indonesian government, using the N-51 as their proxy, maintain an iron grip on the country and its rebels. Reports, however, trickle in from the ground level. The country, largely Matrix-dark and with a vested interest from the Indonesian government to keep it that way, struggles to present conclusive evidence of alleged war crimes perpetuated by the N-51 in their peacekeeping operations. White phosphorous, so says intelligence. Burning slime that clings to skin until it reaches bone.

Awful stuff, the things people are saying about the N-51. Terrible. The DGSE, French national intelligence, would love to know if those accusations against their homegrown N-51 are true, and would love to deny how they found out as well. Time for a shadowrun, in that case, ne?

The Meet

They call in their most reliable deniable and some of her friends to brief them on the situation. Mr. Johnson of course doesn't reveal himself as French intelligence, but a few watchful eyes in the crew of worldly runners are able to put the pieces together even without the out-and-out knowledge that Fennec seems to have.
