Summary
The Finnigans have a plan. That's why they need the revolutionary Or'zet! opera to be a success and make hiring decissions that will ensure their goals. Nobody is allowed to know who's behind the plot, thats why they hire runners to do the staffing for them. The runners do a good job and complete the first step of Finnigans plans without knowing what the plan is, nor why.
Background
The Or'zet! opera was originally planned as a classical opera in italian language to educate the underground population in culture. Finnigans realize that, with the right cast and finesse, this is an opportunity to instigate political unrest which will help them reach their goals. So, they decide to change the whole concept and make the opera about content instead of format. For this purpose, they need the opera to be understandable and rousing to the spectators. Re-cast the core staff and influence the development of the project to become a successful socio-critical piece that will might become the spark for the desired unrest in the Ork Underground.
The Meet
The runners meet with Johnson in the matrix. He doesn't want to be identified.
Johnson wants Bat'Wejoto, Penelope Hopkins, and Naomi Fisk, to work together on the opera Or'zet! and make it a successful modern political masterpiece.
He hires the runners to convince the tree to work together on the project and offers them 10 000 Nuyen.
During the meet, the runners figure out that Johnson is Francesco di Gangi, a Finnigan caporegime. While they keep their poker faces about their knowledge of Johnsons true identity, they negotiate for the opportunity to take payment in kind with the hopes of fenced gear at an opportunistic price. Johnson agrees.
The Runners receive the necessary information about the targets and two files with information about the opera and a police investigation into the assult on Penolpe Hopkins before Johnson "logs out".
