Summary
A neighborhood directly against the Redmond/Bellevue wall is ripe for having the property values increased, but an unscrupulous J wants to drive them down quite a bit before making her initial investment. Little does she know, this neighborhood is already in worse decline than anyone realizes due to a mysterious property that used to belong to EVO sitting at the end of the block. Runners get hired to drive down property values and uncover some nasty secrets, using them to drive values down and finding a little good to do on a relatively bad job.
Background
On the 405, just east of the Sammasmish river is a small block of apartment blocks in a steady C zone in Redmond that has been a working class commuter neighborhood for decades. A few years ago things started shifted, the block that was always loosely crush controlled got picked up by the 144 Posse, a Crimson Crush sub gang/recruiting outfit. At the same time, a building that housed at least one runner in the past went dark 3-4 years ago, and the uptick in gang activity started almost immediately. More recently, the residents have noticed periodic ghoul infestations that come and go, as the working class folks in the neighborhood dissapear, get infected, or move away.
The Meet
The meet was at Alfies, a complete shithole in Northern Touristville that nearly shut down years ago until Docwagaon moved a transportation and emergency substation in next door. Now the place has access to enough occasional limbs and flesh that sentient ghouls will pay the 10 dollar two drink minimum to hang out until they can get a hand, or a foot.
Ms. K meets everyone in person with an enforcer bodyguard behind her and breaks down the job. The team negotiates for some optional payments and a bonus structure and managed to not embarrass themselves despite being a fairly mohawk team composition.
The Plan
The team ran some basic matrix searches and hit some very strong pre-existing knowledge of the neighborhood. Finding out the gang may have a Yakuza connection from the other side of the Bellevue wall for Betameth. After heading over to the neighborhood and reconning to see how things were, the plan eventually became to barnstorm. There was a secondary plan to use the local ghoul populace that got derailed in a few amusing and surprising ways.
