Black Samurai's 3rd Ordeal

Summary

Akira Mori is contacted by Cecelia Cross with an offer: coin in the form of ware and revenge in exchange for a hard drive carried upon the person of a middle manager at Renraku. Informer does some investigating while Akira checks in with Samsara about his uncle's sword. They talk about life, and they decide not to honor duel. After talking trash to Ancients at their bar, the pair part ways and Akira assassinates Noriko Ito, returning the hard drive--as promised--to Cecelia.

Background

Hayato Mori, Akira's uncle, was a Red Swordsman in training; he was stationed at one of Noriko Ito's facilities in the Seattle metroplex before the location was breached by Samsara and others (see A Blast from the Past). Because the facility was lost and his sword was taken, Hayato was forced to take his own life to preserve his family's honor and safety. Akira, who idolized his uncle growing up, vowed revenge on the people who forced this choice upon him.

The Meet

While eating with his sister, Finn, Akira receives a call from a sparkly avatar asking him to come down to E-vue

Aftermath

Through honing his reflexes, Akira finds that the drugs don't really seem to help him anymore; he stops using them for a combat edge so that he can think more clearly in the moment. The primary target of his hatred is dead, but he doesn't feel a great rush of completion. He feels--well--nothing. It'd be super annoying if Samsara and Vip3r had actual points.
