Summary

Corporate power is something that often feels impossible to challenge. With towering skyscrapers, impenetrable fortress black sites, swathes of goons and amoral monsters willing to work for the soulless machine of commerce if it gets them the opportunity to fuel their greed and megalomania, they seem invincible. The story of corporate control is all over the 6th world. Like in Aztlan, and the city of Bogota, where Aztechnology controls almost all facets of life, and is free to do as they please.

One former runner wants to put a dent in that. And with the help of a newly rising PMC and a scrappy team, has the perfect target in mind for putting a dent on that chokehold the bastards have on the city.

Background

Even after the second AzAm war concluded, a common sentiment amongst the people in Bogota is that it never truly ended, merely quieted. With the way that Aztechnology holds such an iron grip on the city and its usual, awful practices against whoever it can get away with using, needless to say there's a number of fighters still looking to put up resistance against the corporation. A fighter in focus for this particular story is one Rosa Rito, a former prime runner now retired with a few places to hide out and rumors floating about the strange things she's collected over the years. Her target for removal was an utterly awful piece of work called Harris Way.

Harris is a UK native, blood mage, and utter bastard of a person. He had a bounty on his head from destroying an entire building for a crime along with everyone inside, with a massive bounty on his head until it...suddenly got cleared when he got picked up by Aztechnology. He had last been seen on a train somewhere in Bogota a few years back, and it seems as if since then people who 'wouldn't be missed' have been disappearing since. Given the way things work with Azzie R&D, this did not bode well. Rosa was not in her prime, and she could not take this guy or his research alone. No, she needed a team to back her up. And she needed more firepower.

One half of this equation was the Shadowhaven. The other was Horned Bear. Maybe with both groups, she could make this work.
