Summary
Trapped within a poser runner bar, the representative for Mr.Johnson is pinned by an MCT sniper, while the job for the runners didn't relate to her own plight, they took the initiative and helped her escape, before going on a journey to discover the odd, and possibly supernatural, causes behind a series of orc kidnappings in Sophecles.
Background
The Meet
The meet was in tourist town, in a 'runner bar' completely filled with off-brand, rich kid, wannabe shadowrunners. After the group made their way through this location, somehow managing to avoid punching one of them long enough to get lead into the back, where a surprisingly 'police' looking individual seemed to be waiting for them, this was their client, 'pigshield.' After getting formalities out of the way, Pigshield passed over a set of datachips, showing off some rather disturbing instances of roadways, vehicles, and random innocents being destroyed and gobbled up in grotesque, supernatural ways. According to the client, this had been occuring over a decent period of time, and her benefactor wishes to see this sort of unnatural fuckery be put to an end, not to mention, a series of possibly related kidnappings against orcs and other metaspecies. After a series of negotiation attempts, Pigshield sweetened the deal with a set of nicely decked-out, highly restricted weapons. On the way out, she mentioned that there was a hitman waiting for her to leave the location, forcing her to remain here until they leave, or she finally keels over, finding the plight of the woman rather sympathetic, and the additionally offered weapons, the runners agreed to put the assassin out of business to free her from this weeb-filled hell.
After some snooping, the group managed to find a stealth-cloaked individual, a weird cyberdog, and a few jerkass corpos walking around and pummeling locals, though, after some matrix-snooping, they were unable to confirm the identity of their assassin, apparently one that would be in the employ of MCT according to Pigshield. With this lack of success, the group decided they would do their best to help coax Pigshield through the alleys, and into the party's vehicles to take her off to Sophecles where she can successfully disappear. ((AT THIS POINT THE RUN HAS BEEN ADJUSTED TO A DEADLY LEVEL RUN)) Dipping out of the back entrence of the building, the ground forces got to work helping Pigshield through the alley, spotting a single camera that seemed out of place, as Bulldozer crushed it, the group started to move for M3chan1c's car, which the rigger had been seated in. With a nearly-supernatural sense of awareness, Bulldozer and Lumina leapt in front of the exposed Pigshield, taking the first of many rounds from the assassin, a sniper perched over a kilometer away. From this moment, things became a frenzy, Bulldozer stood back up to shield Pigshield, Kaminari took a devastating shot to the prized goods, and M3chan1c rapidly started to twist and shift the Matrix to disturb the targeting net the Sniper had arranged. With a sharp eye, Kaminari was able to turn around and spot a series of cameras, sending a group of knives into the damned things, cutting off the vision web of the assassin. As the group healed up, M3chan1c sent through a few scouting drones and started to clear off the rest of the alleyway, firing rounds into another series of cameras, marking unsafe locations for the group to pass due to line of sight with the sniper, and finally, spotting a tracker stuck in the armor of Pigshield, which was quickly jimmied out by Kaminari and his talented knifework. With their way clear, the party sprinted into the car as their rigger took off at full speed down the road for Sophecles.
Throwing up a call with Bolt, M3chan1c and his Fixer immediately initiated a screaming match, complaining about the lack of information about the assassin, further threats, the under-description of the run, and the sheer bullshit they just ran through, with replies about 'hitting the big leagues' 'ungrateful shithead runners' and witnessing the horrors of a runner getting his dick shot off. After the screaming match ended, the two spoke, with Bolt gladly agreeing to take on Pigshield as a member of the gang should she need a place to go. With a secure location for their client to stay safe after the job completed, the group continued on towards their actual work.
