Summary
The runners are called in by Granny Tusk to handle an incursion by a Humanis off-shoot. The team quickly does some research and then raids their office for material which Issac could use to force Knight-Errant into action.
Background
A militant Humanis off-shoot has started moving into Snohomish and attacking Granny Tusk's Grandchildren. She's called in the runners to solve the problem. She wants them to go after their record keeper in order to get blackmail and the personal addresses of their members. She hopes that the blackmail will be able to get the cops to take action, but she doesn't have high hopes. In the event of failure, she and her grandkids will be taking advantage of the other information in order to eliminate them in their homes.
The Meet
Granny Tusk talks to a few of her friends about the Humanis problem and they reach out to the runners that they know. Beatrice Silva calls Ryuuji saying that one of her friends from her knitting circle needed some help, and she thought that Ryuuji might be interested in helping the community. Ferris Nearl calls her favorite ex-CIA agent about an opportunity to stop some Humanis offshoots from hurting Granny Tusk's Grandchildren. Funk gets a call from Angela informing him that one of the patrons of her library had been talking about having some issues with Humanis. The team decides to pass on their payment, but Granny Tusk insists that they still take the money if they manage to get the police to solve the issue.
The Plan
The team briefly considers using GOODLUCK's contacts in the FBI in order to help find a way to socially infiltrate the group. Funk quickly performs a matrix search and turns up info about a patrolling spirit as well as the schematics for the office. The team relocates to Kon-Sulting! in order to work out their approach to the problem. The team helps Funk out with another matrix search to dig up any more secrets about the company that he can. He discovers that there is a force 5 spirit of air named Maelstrom as well as that the matrix specialist is a security technomancer. Ryuuji realizes that he Knows A Girl named Reno Ozawa who started to work on getting them the looper rounds. Meanwhile, the team went to help protect the Orks and Trolls of Snohomish from Humanity's Blades' intrusions.
The Run
With all of their goodies gathered, the team heads over to the Secur-a-ton Solutions office and pop open the maglock on the front door. Once they step inside GOODLUCK loops the inside camera, but some of the guards notice and start approaching. After a brief fight, Ryuuji and GOODLUCK sneaks into the manager's office and plunder the personnel files of the gang members as well as the recordings of their gang initiations.
Aftermath
Isaac Arbiter Parker is able to overcome the institutional inertia of Lone Star in order to lead a large-scale bust against Humanity's Blade and protect Granny Tusk's grandchildren from their predations. The people of Snohomish get to rest a little easier knowing that another gang is off the streets.

GOODLUCK
Ryuuji spouts nonsense about his sect of the Yakuza wanting to be a force for good for the people. I know what the Yakuza are like. My time in the PSB affirmed for me that Yakzua are all thugs with no brains. Yet, his claims of the founding of the work Yakuza are truth, and the actions he proposes to have taken do support his argument. I feel like I'm losing my mind, even considering the Idea. If he proves himself to not be vile as he supposed, and can also prove that he has no wish to harm the innocent or aid the corrupt, then perhaps I can find safe harbor with him. At the very least, I feel a kinship between us. It's not uncommon to see other people like me, but I appreciate him being here all the same. Our teamwork and flow on the run was like that I shared with my teammates until the OES debacle.
Today, perhaps, I have made what I could call my first friend.
