Summary

A group of 4 runners try to get to the bottom of a string of disappearances that ended with one of the missing returns as a walking corpse. The group deals with toxic spirits, doomsday cults, religious sermons, feral ghouls, and a Mutaqua, while simultaneously wondering if their coworkers are somehow more unhinged than all of the above.

Background

People have been disappearing in the Ork Underground. While this is not breaking news, coming back as a walking corpse is, or at least is enough to warrant shelling out money to have the issue investigated by shadowrunners.

The Meet

The group meets with Ghaz, an Ork Sheriff who is VERY committed to the bit. Ghaz explains the details in the background, and reveals to the group that they have the corpse in cold storage. Unfortunately the corpse was not able to communicate much before being put down, but the corpse is relatively intact. Ghaz also provides a list of the recent missing. Ghaz offers 12k per person for a direction on where to go next for clues, with more rewards depending on how thorough and detailed the report on what they are dealing with. The crew agrees to the terms, and Ghaz offers some basic gear to help out members that lack underground exploration gear.

The Plan

The group plans legwork, intending to reveal more clues and then chase them down. Wraith will search on the Matrix for the missing people, while Rogazhin, Alkali, and White Thistle look at the corpse for medical and magical hints. After that, the plan is to be flexible based on what clues are revealed.

The Run

The crew finds out that the corpse is a Cadaver; the result of reanimation magic. On the corpse's hand is a tattoo of a black hand and star. Wraith does a threshold 3 search on the corpse and the other missing people, finding out that although the missing tended to keep to themselves without much of a social media presence, they frequent the same areas, showing that the kidnapper tended to grab people from the same area with the intention that they did not except to be investigated. The corpse viewing team corroborated this when they revealed the corpse surfaced after breaking free from the master, indicating it was an unintentional mistake.
