Summary
The group of runners are hired to find and do some bounty hunting in Madagascar and they turn the situation into a pit fight.
Background
The target, a Wakayambi named Ingwe, has hunted a lion that was under the protection of the Great Feathered Serpent Mujaji. For this indiscretion, Ingwe received a bounty that Bellerophon was all too happy to take up. Hiring a group of runners is cheap compared to the payout and allows him to assume almost no risk.
The Meet
Contacted in the midst of their day to day activities (purchasing squirrel figurines, arguing over the price of fish, eating ramen in a plastic jungle apartment, and having dinner with a girlfriend), the runners are asked to meet Bellerophon the following day. Aboard the Pegasus the bounty hunter describes the job and the target, filling in details about why they are wanted and by whom. He also describes another opportunity for making money in the capture of a specific chupacabra, the infamous Jicho Moja, identifiable by it's iridescent scales and a scare over it's eye.
The main target is stated to be hiding with the Isangoma, a Zulu Pirate gang with a base in Manajaray. It is suggested that the runners might get themselves captured and break out with the target in hand. Bellerophon also requests that this be treated with care and not to inflict too many casualties.
The hire comes with transport and so the group sets out for Madagascar in a dirigible, after Poe procures K-10 for Cyrrel, completing one of the squirrel's life goals.
A Boat for Hire
Disembarking in Fort-Dauphin, the runners decide to rent a boat and take it up the coast to Manajaray. Fennec gets in touch with [The Golden Hind] to get some info and the opportunity for an introduction of sorts. All that is asked in return is a jade lemur the pirates possess.
Looking to gather some info, Poe sends a possessed rat into the compound. The spirit is able to relay some map info and personnel estimates. Finally a plan starts to come together.
The Lion, the Techno, and the Boat
Out side the bay by the compound the runners get the pirate's attention by waving to them. When they come aboard, Fennec shows off her wares: a Lion, a chimp with a gun, and a squirrel person. These, she says, are rare fighting animals. For the time being the pirates go along and invite them ashore on their own boat. The pirates take them through the mined bay and then give a brief tour of the compound where they show off the jade statue that Fennec was asked to liberate.
Pokemon Battle
Fennec makes a challenge. She puts her three 'fighters' against any five the pirates choose. To the winner go the Jade Idol and Fennec's laser pistol. A bit of negotiation later and the deal is accepted. The trio finds themselves up against a Troll, a Razor girl, a metal tusked boar, a possessed pirate and Jicho Moja.
The razor girl and boar are dropped fairly quickly, and Fennec encourages her team.
