Background

The Mr. Johnson has requested assistance from runners to watch over his daughter on her date night with a shady character that he had suspicions about, by the name of Axel Lox, a human who met the Mr. Johnson's daughter, Kira Dames, at the University of Washington. Mr. Johnson had noted odd behavior from Axel, spotting him communicating with a troll over a commlink, while Axel spoke of Kira as if she was some sort of object. Since this was personal for Mr. Johnson, he wanted to meet with the runners personally at a Soykaf shop in Downtown Seattle, to explain what has been going on, and hopes that the team can keep her daughter safe, and bring an end to Axel and his associates, by killing them all if sufficient evidence proves that Axel is corrupt...

Meet

The team initially spoke with Mr. Johnson over a voice conference call. He had requested for them to meet with him in person in Downtown Seattle at 7 PM, at a Soykaf shop. The team went there, traveling with their own methods (Wildman, Neko and Slink drove their vehicles while Reverie used astral projection instead). Before they met with the Mr. Johnson, the team noticed a bit of commotion going outside near it, behind a stuffer shack in a dark alley. There were thugs harassing a civilian, attempting to take his nuyen by force. While Slink went inside the Soykaf shop to meet with the Mr. Johnson, Wildman and Reverie dealt with the thugs quickly, through awakened scare tactics.

Upon meeting the Mr. Johnson, who was an elven male in a high fashion suit, he shared cups of Soykaf to the team before leading them outside to discuss matters more privately. He revealed his concern about his daughter, Kira, who has a date that night with a shady Axel Lox. Originally, he didn't think much ill will towards Alex Lox, but after revealing to the team that he caught Axel discussing questionable matters with a troll regarding his daughter, he suspected something was up. He asked the team to kill Axel and his associates, provided that sufficient evidence was gathered to expose their twisted natures.

The Plan

Mr. Johnson told the team that his daughter Kira would be at the Sybrespace nightclub with Axel Lox. He gave the team tickets to get past the bouncer there for access into the nightclub that night. The team's plan was to keep an eye on Kira, gather proof of Axel's darker motives, and if evidence was present, then they would kill Axel and his partners in crime.

The Run

The team headed over to Sybrespace, with Slink entering the nightclub while everyone else remained outside. Reverie took the time to set up DNI, while Neko hacked Axel's commlink, keeping tabs on all incoming and outgoing matrix traffic. Through this, she was able to learn the identity of Axel's troll partner. It was none other than 'The Big Cheese', who was a group leader for a certain band of thugs. As Neko slowly unfolded the plot of Axel's corrupt nature, Slink kept tabs on Kira and Axel in the physical world within the nightclub itself. Reverie would perform assensing, identifying another curious individual within the nightclub, who happened to be a mysterious fox girl shapeshifter. As Neko honed in on the location of 'The Big Cheese', which was an abandoned warehouse within the outskirts of Downtown Seattle, Wildman would send his pet rat to scout the area, and discovered a whole group of disassembler gangers waiting there.

Neko learned that Axel was to escort Kira over to them, though Axel also made note of the fox girl who captured his interest. Once 'The Big Cheese' revealed his intentions over the commlink, the team had sufficient evidence to act. It was clear that Axel and his associate wanted the girls for a sinister purpose. Thankfully, Wildman prepared himself to ambush the disassembler gangers who lurked at the warehouse. Meanwhile, once Axel began to make a move to escort Kira out of the nightclub, Slink intervened, using his skills as a con to get Kira's attention. Kira caught onto what was going on, and listened to Slink, playing along with his plan. As he proceeded to greet Axel right outside the nightclub, he used a shock glove to damage Axel and repel him. Axel immediately draw an Ares Predator V pistol, about to open fire at Slink. However, the Ork Bouncer, Bob, intervenes. At first he was going to talk to Slink harshly about his attack on Axel, but upon seeing Axel retaliate with a gun, he stepped between the two, asking them to settle down. Slink and Axel then attempted a battle of wits, using their negotiation skills to get the bouncer to side with them. Axel lost, and the bouncer ended up favoring Slink, followed by sucker punching Axel unconscious. Slink had directed Kira away for safety, which she found in Neko's care, remaining secure in Slink's vehicle.

In the midst of this, Neko had quickly squelched Axel's commlink, so he could not call for backup. Slink explained to the bouncer what was happening, and the bouncer understood, deciding to join the team to deal with the gangers. The fox girl caught onto what was going on as well, and decided to help, following her own motives. Meanwhile, 'The Big Cheese' started to grow irritated by Axel's sudden silence, so he and his gangers decided to venture out to try meeting up with Axel instead. As this happened when they stepped out of the warehouse, Wildman, and his beast spirit, ambushed the gangers. With battle breaking out, the rest of the team, along with the fox girl and Bob the Ork Bouncer, joining in the fray.

The team held their own against the odds, and Wildman's prowess in a bear form brought unprecedented carnage against the gangers...something they never expected. Unfortunately, as Bob the Ork Bouncer entered the fight, he was quickly overwhelmed by a band of troll gangers who severely injured him with combat axes, knocking him unconscious. Meanwhile, Neko would offer matrix support, enhancing the team's AR with better combat efficiency. After Wildman delivered the decisive blow to put down 'The Big Cheese' once and for all, Neko took the opportunity to hack into his commlink. Through this, Neko learned the full details of the plot.... it turns out that Axel was an aspiring disassembler, seeking to earn favor and respect from 'The Big Cheese'. They wanted to deliver Kira to Tamanous Organ Legging, so she would be a breeding slave. The price Tamanous offered was 50,000 nuyen for Kira. After Axel learned of the fox girl however, she was to be marked for capture as well.

After the battle.

With full evidence unfolded of Axel's corruption, the team proceeded to finish off the gangers present, leaving none alive... except Axel who was still unconscious. The Fox girl was revealed to be 'Kayo', a female fox shapeshifter who serves the bear mentor spirit. The spirit, bear, had guided Kayo towards Wildman to watch over him, just incase. Bob the Ork Bouncer was stabilized and healed by the team, and Mr. Johnson was contacted of the job's success, with proof delivered. Mr. Johnson then requested for Axel to be brought to him...

Aftermath

After the run's success, the team brought the unconscious Axel to the Mr. Johnson. Slink proceeded to hand him a pistol with a silencer attached, with 1 round in the magazine. Once Axel awoke, a confrontation occurred between the two. Mr. Johnson was displeased with Axel's corruption, though Axel responded in a vile manner. This drove the Mr. Johnson in a fit of rage, as he proceeded to brutally beat Axel with pistol whipping him across the head repeatedly. Finally, he stuck the gun in Axel's mouth, and pulled the trigger, ending his life. After that, Mr. Johnson paid the team with the nuyen promised, and thanked them for saving his daughter's life. He and his daughter reunited with an embrace, before the two returned home.

Slink offered to dance with Kayo at the nightclub, which she accepted.
