Summary
The Runners are brought together by Reverend Toby Newton to address the strange series of child abductions that have been taking place within the Redmond Barrens. Little did they know that Renraku is behind it, and using the children in secret black site experiments to create cranial containment units (CCU) to arm anthrodrones with a living brain in control of it's actions.
Background
Like the rest of the Big 10, Renraku Computer Sytems has no compunctions in the pursuit of knowledge. They will willingly sacrifice the most innocent of children in the cause of "the greater good". As they are doing now within the Snohomish area, at a black site dedicated to perfecting the CCU, or Cranial Containment Unit. With this device, Renraku hopes to surge ahead in the weapons market, providing drones with the perfect operating system; the metahuman brain. Unfortunately, in order to continue this research their must be test subjects, and where better to obtain these "volunteers" than the Redmond Barrens?
The Meet
The runners are each contacted by their fixers to meet at a small chapel within the Redmond Barrens, run by Reverend Toby Newton. Upon arrival, they are each greeted warmly in turn, and told of the terrible fate that has befallen the local metahuman children, many wards of the local orphanage. The Reverend explains that the children have gone mysteriously missing over the last few weeks, sometimes 2 or 3 at a time. He offers to pay a meager 6,000 nuyen to the team, explaining that his church has fallen on hard times and it is really all he can afford to pay. All but Master Morty seem fine working for little to no payment, as their are children involved, but Master Morty nastily sticks to his guns, complaining that he has rent to pay. Morty eventually relents, saying that a paycheck is better than no paycheck, to which Reverend Toby sighs in relief. Usagi gives an impassioned speech as to the importance of the lost children and bringing them any justice they may be due, while Samsara pretty much is just waiting to punch somebody or something. Stargazer unfortunately is filled with mild trepidation, as she considers the situation she has agreed to assist on, and wonders if maybe this job might be a bit to big for her to bite into...
