Summary

A toxic mutation mage has been encroaching towards Nameless and his people at the edge of Glow City. The runners kill them.

Background

Over the last few days, the ambient magic around Nameless's area had begun to steadily worsen, the taint of the Glow City spreading in. Several ghouls went to investigate and never returned. Needing a solution, Nameless reached out to assemble a team of runners to deal with the threat.

Pre-Meet Shenanigans

The runners before the meet had a range of activities, with varying consequences for them. At a nice early time of six in the morning, Pell simply had pancakes and chatted with her fixer. Rocketman was subservient to Commander Kerrigan, while at the same time dealing with the residual emotions from his first run, while at the same time dealing with his irrational hope that every run could potentially get him into space.

Somehow. Winter in contrast, had a bit of a involved interaction. Getting a call from her brother Samuel, she got news about a great business opportunity. A startup needing just a bit of cash, could lead to a quadrupled investment. All he needed was another 2000 nuyen. It was at this point that Winter realized that her brother had been losing the money she'd been sending him to scammers. Furiously arguing, they went back and forth, each trying to convince the other that they were making a huge mistake. Not reaching a solution, Winter bottled her frustration for a bit to do work.

Swerve had earlier tried to bind a powerful spirit and she failed spectacularly, the backlash sending her to unconsciousness, the spirit uncontained. As she eventually awakened, she found herself with her cat, Mittens, on top of her and a dampness beneath her. The spirit apparently liked cats and offered many treats to Mittens, eventually to the point that she threw up, sending cat vomit all over Swerve's bed. Wanting to clean it, yet without a washing machine, she summoned a weak spirit of water. Trying to use it's aid to serve as a source of water, she tried to rub the vomit off. Making a bigger mess than anything else, that attempt failed.

At this point, Nameless called her directly, asking for her aid with his problem. Swerve, a fan of nameless and of infected communities in general, was more than happy to help, promising to whatever was needed. Needing to have a way to deal with cat vomit before it dried, yet also needing to go to the job, she took all the sheets and threw them in a bin with holes. Taking it outside, she commanded her baby water spirit to spray water within for an hour, stirring it a bit from time to time. The spirit, while agreeable to the task, asked her what it was supposed to do after. Wanting to be nice to the helpful lil guy, Swerve said it could do whatever it wanted. When it expressed it's want to spray water in things, she amended that to make sure it didn't spray water in her apartment, and if anyone told it to not spray water at something, to follow that. After checking to make sure it understood, Swerve was satisfied, and went off to the meet.

The Meet

The team met in the outskirts of the Glow City at an underground entrance to Nameless's commune. Stopping the group before meeting him, Swerve addressed the group. Telling them that she was a banshee, and that their J would be a ghoul, she tried to minimize any shock that the team might be about to have. In general, people were generally alright with it, though wary. Winter got in Swerve's face to sniff her, an action that made her a bit uncomfortable. After a bit of conversation and awkward questions, the team went in to meet Nameless.

Nameless told the group of runners about his problem, about the advancing pressure from the wastes and his need for aid. He said that he was unable to pay them well, only being able to offer 8k nuyen, but they any assistance would be greatly valued. Around this time, Winter tried to get in his face to aggressively sniff him too, but Nameless pushed her away. Continuing with the briefing, Nameless said that several ghouls had disappeared
