Summary
An object of immense power was taken from some even more powerful people who were going to look into its capabilities. This displeased them greatly, and thus they hired runners to handle the situation. By the end of the night, that same group got their gem back, along with a club full of smoke and corpses.
Background
The Dunklezahn Institute of Magical Research, one of the many dozen corporations borne from the will of the late Great Dragon, had taken to Seattle for the sake of acquiring a particular Ruby that was said to have immense power. A gem from the time of King Solomon of Judaea, and with powers that were not quite yet understood. They had located it in the hands of a collector, finalized a deal to have it transported up to Bellevue where the institute's representative, Madame Maya Velt, awaited, but something went wrong. Their transport was attacked somewhere between Renton and Bellevue as it traveled from Tacoma where the collector's stores had been. They had managed to pick off some of the attackers, but unfortunately could not stop them from taking the Jewel itself. In need of a swift retrieval, Madame Velt resorted to the Shadowhaven network, cautious but expectant of good results.
The Meet
Madame Velt met the team of Anansi, Kong, Red Rover, and Limitless in her apartment in Bellevue, having given them a password to get in. She explained the details of the job to them and gave them a deadline for retrieval: 8 hours to have it back to her, with her already providing a lead in the form of a body that had been retrieved from the site of the attack. She offered 10k nuyen per head for the job, which Limitless and Anansi were a bit skiddish of, and thus threw in the additional prize of potential reagents and magical equipment for those so inclined with the promise for more if there was more than they had bargained for on the job. In agreement, the team immediately (admittedly, impatiently) got to work investigating.
The Plan
Through a combination of remembered gang information and assistance from (chatty) Crimson Crush contacts, the team was able to identify the body as being a member of the Rat Eater gang, a small time gang under the employ of the Yakuza who did their bidding when the syndicate didn't want to put the time, effort, or dignity into dealing with a matter themselves in Renton. They were able to use a commlink that was hacked into by said contact to find the location of a strip club that the Rat Eaters were using for their base of operations, and fell into a loose plan of operation.
