Summary
The gang fought racially charged terrorism by blowing up a compound and assassinating Humanis activists with extreme prejudice, all backed by the UC of AS.
Background
Tir Na Nog had planned a meet with Mothers of Metahumans, for reasons only the Elves could understand, and chose to do so in the UCAS. For reasons only the Elves could understand. A cell of active Humanis terrorists took offense to this, and so made a plan to move against them. They subverted the security team and spent a week slowly manipulating the foundation to gain access to all the devices, and finally took control of the tower's optic network, to the favor of the Mages. The plan looked foolproof.
Unfortunately for Humanis, Colonel Lereau had finally found his old protégé; Wraith. And through her, a competent Runner team. Under the auspice of a secretive branch of the UCAS, he reached out to Wraith.
The Meet
Wraith had reached out to Estelle, who in turn reached out to Ardent. Estelle had also reached out to her favorite club proprietress and fellow fixer, Alessa P, who in turn brought in Gulliver. The three met with Colonel Lereau, who brought the team up to speed on the situation; they knew of a terrorist attack, tipped off by an anonymous figure, that would likely occur sometime tomorrow morning between 8 and 10 AM, and they ideally didn't want Tir Na Nog tipped off to the lacking security in the UCAS.
The team asked about the commlink of this anonymous tipper and were informed it was a burner 'Link, still in one piece. They were able to get the Liason between this shadowy branch and KE to release it into their hands, and afterwards the team went about tracking down the mysterious tipper.
The Plan
The team tracked the Commlink down to a strip club in Touristville, and from there were able to--narrowly--convince the Bartender that they had a Cousin who was about to do something really stupid, and they needed to find them before they did something they'd regret. The bartender told them it wasn't his shift but got the Runners in touch with the bartender that was present for that night. She, in turn, recalled a group that sort of matched the Runners' description--Including a man that had slipped away. Unfortunately, she couldn't recall many details, but did know that some of the fellows in the group were a regular of some of the girls.
After speaking with Latonya, the Ork stripper, they were able to track down a party location this Humanis group had been to. Upon going to the party location, they found--Perhaps to nobody's true surprise--A run down apartment, owned by a...Oddly eloquent Humanis political activist. He was not, however, one of the terrorists they were looking for and so, after explaining their situation and watching the man shed a tear in sympathy(It's worth noting that the elvish faces were, in fact, disguised as Humans at this point), he shared a drink in camaraderie. They rifled through his commlink and got a picture of their guy; Jimothy Tyler. Not the anonymous informer, but known to be in with the group of terrorists they were looking for.
Meanwhile, Wraith and Poe had done the rounds around the Tower, looking for potential spots for people to watch the building. What they found instead was a physical bypass to the tower's defensive optical network, leading into an abandoned apartment. Further examination found the place to be trapped to hell, with little chance of them being able to infiltrate the apartment building. In the interest of not tipping their hand, the group decides to leave a drone to monitor the scene and otherwise leaves the location alone.
Afterward, the gang tracked down and kidnapped Jimothy Tyler from the same strip club they had initially arrived in using Mind Magic and some quick talking. After mind controlling him, they were able to pull some info. Jimothy didn't know any of his fellow terrorists, only their Team Leader. He knew only his part in the plan; go up the tower, kill the security, install the explosives, leave. The team pulled the face of the team lead from his mind and sent him home with some Laes.
