Summary

Camila has a new problem for which she needs Runner to solve it. Her boss's boss has fallen in love with an ice statue he saw at an unofficial viewing of the soon-to-open annual World of Wonders exhibit in Seattle. Since his birthday is coming up, Camila's boss is very interested in getting this statue and giving it away. Unfortunately, the artists are not willing to sell. Her boss then decides that this is Camila's problem from now on and so once again some runners get stranded in Purple Haze and have to get the ice statue (a feathered two meter tall snake).

The Meet

The meeting will be held at Purple Haze. All runners are offered the usual magically purified water from the Colorado River at the beginning, but no one wants to drink it. Camila then explains her task to the Runners after a hearty lunch. She offers 20,000 Nuyen for the job and gives La Rapide a flyer of the museum. Unfortunately, she does not have much more information. After a short negotiation, she also provides an expense account of 8000 Nuyen to organize a refrigerated truck for the job. But the runners have to take care of the organization themselves. She also gives the runners the information to which cold store the Ice Sculpture should be delivered. The birthday of her boss's boss is in three days and that is also when the exhibition officially opens. Therefore, the order is also somewhat time-critical.

The Plan

The Runners set about getting some information about the museum and organizing a refrigerated truck. Bannerette organizes the refrigerated truck through her contact Sunglasses. He can organize a refrigerated truck for the next two days, but has already promised it to another customer. So he asks for a favor in return. Raps tries to find Amelie which she finally succeeds in doing at 5 a.m. in a downtown disco. After a short small talk she asks Amelie if she could get some information about the museum as soon as possible. Amelie agrees in exchange for a favor. Amelie contacts La Rapide 6 hours later and gives her the following information:

• The artists produce their works of art in all possible ways from freezing technique to magic everything is represented and allowed.
• The winner is not so much determined by the best artwork - it is more important who knows whom and whether the artwork fits into the current time.
• The artists work until late at night but are kicked out of the museum by 10 p.m. at the latest.
• The museum has hired a mid-sized security company (We Secure You) based in Seattle to protect the museum.
• All sensors inside the museum are connected to an industry host of the security company.
• The artworks are secured modern printing plates. Any movement is registered and triggers an alarm.
• There are also drones on site that regularly check on things and a rigger is on call 24/7 to monitor the museum.
• There are usually 4 security guards on site to guard the museum. These are not heavily armed mostly just tasers and stun batons.
• She also found a strange forum post that in a work of art depicting a coniferous forest free spirits have moved in and are now trangsalizing the artists in the museum. The museum is thinking about removing the spirits.

After a short discussion with the team, La Rapide decides to ask Amelie if she can support the run and make sure that the sensors in the museum do not set off any alarms. Amelie offers to do this for three favors and La Rapide agrees. Amelie informs La Rapide that she can't hack all the camaras, but she can prevent the alarm from going off as long as she doesn't stay in one room too long. In addition, the team must be careful because a rigger is still actively monitoring the museum.
