Summary

The Runners were called to a hospital in Redmond due to a quarantined girl, but through investigation they found out about a group of Dissonant Technomancers that were trying to take over a resonance well and crash the Seattle Grid out of spite and madness.

Background

The Techno Tribe called Lazer Powered Cats had established a resonance well inside of a church located in Redmond, only for a Dissonant Technomancer by the name of Disrupt to attack the Tribe. Nearly all the Technomancers at the church were slaughtered by Disrupt and the Dissonant Technomancers. A Technomancer named Molly managed to get away from the church alive, but her nervous system had been permanently damaged by Disrupt's strange dissonance abilities. Molly ended up falling unconscious on the streets of Redmond and was taken to a nearby hospital, but the strange and unknown cause of her injuries drew her surgeon to search for help from any available shadowrunners.

The Meet

Mercury, Rabbit, and Deimos all made it to the meet without any trouble. R0B0H4TZ had to take the bus and ended up saving an ork woman from a pair of halloweeners on his way to the meet, and he didn't even ask to be repaid for some reason...

Once gathered at the hospital, R0B0H4TZ managed to earn Deimos' ire by pretending to be a magician, taunting her, and repeatedly lying to her face. A nurse lead the group into the quarantine room, where they met the Mr Johnson who was a surgeon trying to help a young woman who had suffered immense damage to her nervous system, but the cause of this damage was unknown. Deimos managed to use a Mind Probing spell to read the woman's recent memories, which allowed them to figure out that the woman was named Molly and that she was a member of a Tribe called the Lazer Powered Cats. However, the spell was interrupted before Deimos could reach deeper because of a sudden and violent panic attack that made her lose concentration. Rabbit decided to take charge of the situation, and injected Deimos with a dose of Guts by jamming a needle in their neck. Deimos re-cast the spell and kept peering deeper until she unraveled what had happened to Molly and the Technomancers at the church.

Suddenly Molly's living persona booted up and contacted the runners via their commlinks. She told them more about Disrupt's abilities, but also Disrupt's plan to use the power of the resonance well to compile an immense sprite that would destroy the entire Seattle Grid. Molly expressed a desire for the team to show the Dissonant Technomancers mercy if possible, but should that prove too impossible then they should kill them quickly and efficiently. All members of the team agreed to help Molly, and to stop Disrupt from destroying the Seattle Grid.

The Plan

Rabbit and Deimos would use illusions to get inside the church without raising suspicions, and would then lure Disrupt out into the streets where they would be vulnerable.

R0B0H4TZ would keep out of sight while compiling a powerful Fault Sprite that would attack and confuse Disrupt.

Mercury would be positioned at a high vantage point with his Assault Rifle, and would then finish off the confused Disrupt with a few well placed shots.
