Summary
A tale of justice and how it is twisted. Of anger, and righteousness, and avenging those one has lost. A need to know more, a need to fix mistakes, and a need to clear a poor sinner's name.
Background
Andrew Morgan was killed in an altercation with Knight Errant after a seemingly random surge of killing around his bakery a month prior to the events of the run.
Andrew Morgan was always a soft man. A passionate person, who wanted to continue the baking his mother had instilled such a great amount of passion in him over while they worked together in his youth. He had wanted to continue that work as an adult, to continue to share the love that his late mother put into every dish. But opening such a bakery when one is coming from an orphaned state and lacking funds is a difficult endeavor. And the desperately passionate people can be the perfect marks for miscreants. Cutters offered a loan, and that loan ate away at the man time and time and time again. It builds anger, at the injustice of the system on top of loss and hardship for a lifetime. And that makes someone vulnerable to even more unsavory types.
How Andrew came about the knife is unknown. But it pushed him into striking out. Empowered by its temptations, he took to the night and struck out again and again to deal with monstrous criminals and threats, nominally gangers and the Cutters. But using that power weakens one ability to resist its call more and more and more.
And now, Leah Morgan was alone, and in need of answers. She could not believe that her darling brother could cause this. She had to be certain it wasn't just him. And if possible, have whoever was responsible for this pay.
The Meet
Asura, Red Rover, and Zero line were called into a meeting at a park in Puyallup to discuss the details of the job. Ms. Morgan was suffering somewhat already but, at the very least they didn't cause too much of a fuss with their presence in the area. They were offered 5000 nuyen to handle the job, finding out more about the incident and possibly bringing about justice, which the gang knew was small but didn't really feel like pushing a grieving woman on. She offered a few locations for them to check out, namely the storage where she kept his things and the old home he lived in and the bakery. While there were some awkward exchanges of goodbyes, she needed time to prepare herself mentally.
The Plan
the plan was simple:
1) find leads into the details of the attack using Asura's Psychometry
2) use Red Rover's myriad contacts to cover their weak spots
3) Zero Line focusing on their surroundings would keep the gang covered throughout the investigation as Asura was preoccupied
Putting their heads together, along with contacts, wild summoning, and a myriad of visions, the group managed to track down the leads to one Pedro Martinez. One of the men who took down Andrew, and seemed to have been possessed by the blade and hid its involvement for his own newly twisted aims. And, possibly, this same man is responsible for disrupting a contact of Asura's, "Philip". Much to her chagrin.
Due to Red Rover's Decker assistant, there was a now a chance to meet Pedro Martinez-thinking that this was some blackmailing scheme about his cover up and recent failing reports.
So, Asura and Red Rover went to the meeting spot (the bakery the murders originally took place) and staked it out as they set up a means for Red Rover to cover Asura when she entered the building.
