Summary
The runners were hired by Bruno Pereira to scout out an overground section of the Redmond Barrens that housed a few abandoned buildings amidst the thick forest. As he was planning to house his recently homeless refugee group there, he wanted the runners to find out if the place was occupied and to "secure it" as they saw fit.
The group scouted out the forest through astral and mechanical means, and after establishing friendly contact with a small group of refugees alredy settled in the buildings through the rescue of one of them, fought an evil presence that had taken the form of a toxic spirit underneath a destroyed building nearby.
Having successfully secured the buildings (the refugees would not be a problem to Bruno's group), the group returned to the less green part of the Barrens and got their payment.
Background
The Barrens have always been a drek place to live. Just imagine the worst slum in the world, then bomb it, have a radioactive waste spilloff there, a race riot, then bomb it again, reenact the Chernobyl disaster there, then have a volcanic eruption on it, then build a wall around it so the rule of law will not reach there, then bomb it again for good measure. Then you'd have an approximation of what the Barrens look like.
Sure, some areas might be relatively nicer than others, some places you might even be able of walk around for a couple of hours without getting radiation poisoning or getting shanked over a few nuyen (last one is rarer), but either way, gang war is an inevitable reality of these parts.
A gang war between two splinter Halloweener groups escalated exponentially one night. People dropping like flies and buildings getting torched. One of the buildings burnt down housed a group of survivors, people from the Barrens brought together mostly for survival. Many orphaned kids, squatting hobos and all sort of folk that were in a bad spot in life. Amongst them was their de-facto leaders, the Orks Bruno Pereira (aka Spotted Jaguar) and his wife Mint. When the building was up in flames, the twenty-or-so survivors of the attack retreated to a more derelict zone of the Barrens for temporal shelter. Jaguar had seen that nearby the depopulation and overgrowth had created a veritable patch of woodland in the former urban sprawl. Exploring it led him to a small group of five buildings, but having seen some movement in there, he went back to his camp.
Desperately needing a home for his people to regain strenght and settle down, Jaguar contacted a group of runners from the Haven to scout out the place, figure out if there's any threats in the area and, if possible, to secure the building for his group.
