Summary
Broker a well known contact among runners for his smuggling and skills at acquiring gear, started to have an issue with his clients dyeing. He hired runners to take care of it for him, giving them access to his information so they could investigate. They found a magical Christmas tree at the first scene, four more killer trees in the warehouse, and found and killed a Magical Green Sasquatch who was the source of it all, along with all of his(?) drones. The mystery of The United Front Against Corperate Christmas thickens...
Background
As a yearly tradition, Broker, a professional "acquirer of goods", has been importing rare GMO fir trees to sell to higher end clientele. Due to the nature of his business, the entire process is somewhat automated by his swarms of drones. So when he started seeing his clients on the news as bodies, he called in some favors with other contacts around town to pull in shadow runners to quickly deal with the situation. He would not stand for this, it was bad business.
The Meet
The team all met up on the Tacoma docks. Mojo tried to explain his area of expertise only to fail multiple times to perform magic beyond harming himself with drain before the meet even happened. The meet was quick and Concise, he wanted this dealt with immediately. He passed them all the police information from the five deaths, as well as information of all the trees sold. The last information given was the last clients location in the safehouse the Broker put him in until this all blew over.
The Plan
They started by going to the most recent murder scene. They tried to sneak in, but were spotted by the Decker in the Cruiser out front, Melissa Weathers. She let them know that she pretended not to see them, as the Broker had agreed to donate to a charity of her choice if she let some runners in to investigate the murders (normally not one to take bribes, the only reason she took it was because the runners were doing a good thing). At the first site, they discovered that the trees had been ritually prepped to accept spirits.
they rushed to the next house, the sixth buyer who hadn't died's home. They found a spirit within the tree, ChromeDome failing to chop it down before Heavy Ordnance destroyed it. They then moved to the warehouse and found four more possessed trees to fight. Mojo Joe Quickly summoned a spirit to astrally track the signature back to a junkyard in Redmond, the process and the drive giving Jiang-shi time to recover from the massive spells they were throwing out, as well a s a really nasty failed summon Mojo attempted along the way.
