Summary
Gang violence is nothing new in Redmond, but when a gang shows up and does nothing but attack people for no apparent reason, then somethings not adding up. For this reason, a group of Redmond natives pooled their resources to hire some shadowrunners to investigate.
Background
The Grinning Skulls are the newest gang in Redmond, and entered the stage with a burst of gunfire, then never took their fingers off the trigger. The gang seems to do nothing but start fights, no apparent plans or schemes going on. This is not usual gang behavior, and it is making the residents of Redmond nervous.
The Meet
The runners met an old orc woman named Ms. Moira at an old, run down house she lived in. She explained the situation with the skulls, and promised payment for any information regarding the Grinning Skulls motives or background. She then kicked them out of her house when they started planning in it.
The Plan
Mokumokuren connected the group together on a DNI call before leaving via drone for a safer location, while the other three went to a bar to plan. They decided that Thunder and Alkaios would ask around on the street, while Smiling Warrior would keep watch from the skies in the form of a crow for any suspicious behavior, and Mokumokuren would do a deep search on the matrix for any info.
The Run
While Moku's search was unfruitful, the two trolls managed to talk to some people on the street, and were pointed in the direction of Eerie Jim, an elf who apparently knew more about the workings of the gangs in Redmond. A man approached the two trolls and attempted to shake them down, which ended with Thunder loosing his temper and knocking him out in a single punch, before putting him in a hockey bag to interrogate later. They went on to meet Eerie Jim, who, for some nuyen, told them that the Grinning Skulls had a particular hatred for the ancients, and showed them the way to their hideout, an old apartment complex. Smiling Warrior used her animal shifting to listen in, and learned that the Grinning Skulls where in the pockets of the Cutters, who were using them to stoke more fear for their protection rackets.
Aftermath
Thunder, Alkaios, and Smiling all went back to Ms. Moira's to inform her of what they learned. Ms. Moira told them she would think about what she was going to do next, and would call them if she had more work for them to do. The Alkaios dumped the gangster out in an alleyway near by, while also proselytizing to him.
