A convoy carrying a variety of cargo through the Redmond Barrens was hit by an as of yet unknown force. In the confusion, the street gang known as the '23rd Slicers' managed to scavenge much of the cargo of one particular truck. Of interest to the johnson was a small, laptop sized device. A third party was also interested in the device, and both were tracking it via a signal it transmitted.  
Through some unknown means, the woman who hired the runners in [[I've Come Here From Nowhere]] was made aware of the fact that some sort of violence was to be directed against the Snowflake nightclub; located in Touristville. There were two main suspects - the local Yakuza, who the owner of the club, Daniel Marsh (an elf), may not have kept his protection payments up with, and Andrew McTavish, a KE detective with personal reasons to hate Marsh.    


McTavish did indeed intend to kill Marsh, having acquired an Ares Predator, false SIN, and a ballistic mask for the job. The Yakuza did intend to attack the club, but not to attack Marsh - they wanted a rival gang leader (coincidentally, also an elf) who made a show of partying at Snowflake and was pushing in on the Yakuza's territory. He also supplied Marsh with the drugs he dealt.     
==Meet==
==Meet==
The meet took place at a noodle stand in Touristville, not far from the targeted nightclub. Yokai and Circe arrived on time, and had some box noodles. Dirk had to drop off his daughter at home, and arrived fifteen minutes late. Whilst talking to the Johnson - a man in two thousand nuyen suit, with adept powers and prototype transhuman bioware - Yokai realised that he'd seen this man before, at the end of [[I've Come Here From Nowhere]].


The meet took place in a small public park in Bellevue. There, the runners quickly spotted the Johnson, a woman with distinctive cybernetics occupying all visible parts of her body. Her face in particular was sculpted, and probably the work of a specific artist. She did not give her name. Something was off about her essence. After relaying the pertinent information to the runners, she handed them a small chip that was to be loaded onto the device; so as to stop it transmitting it's location.
The Johnson went on to explain that his employer wanted to hire the runners to stop an act of violence in or at the Snowflake nightclub. After providing some info on Marsh's finances and McTavish, he organised for the runners to have access to the nightclub across the street from Snowflake - an awful techno-egyptian styled place currently undergoing renovations.

Dirk called up his contacts, first asking '''Zer0''' to find out anything on their Johnson. He was using a Rating 5 fake SIN with a curious defect - his last name was Chinese, despite his caucasian appearance. '''Zer0''' also stated that he felt edgy or like he was being watched whilst he checked on the SIN. He then asked '''Henrietta Lang''' to look into Marsh, and she happily gave Dirk some public info on him. He was charged with supplying alcohol to a minor and possession with intent to distribute various party drugs, but was found not guilty on both occasions. She also implied that Andrew McTavish had a grudge against Marsh, and was annoyed that he could no longer come after him at his new club in Touristville, due to jurisdictional issues. She also gave Dirk Marsh's com code.


The Runners quickly found their way to a club, and by agreement with the owner they were let in to plan before it opened up for the night (it being three in the afternoon). There, they decided on a two pronged strategy - Ladybug and Firebug would make their way to the top of the building the item was being held in, as the Johnson had indicated that it was located on the top floor. Kilbo and Yokai were to cause a distraction on the ground floor.
Arriving at the street Snowflake is located on, the Runners quickly set up in the offices of the nightclub opposite it. Scouting out Snowflake astrally, they found no astral defences and Marsh asleep in his office, with one guard. Using magic, Yokai and Circe broke in, knocked out the guard and used control thoughts on Marsh. He said he hadn't been paying any attention to the local Yakuza, and that the he did indeed act as a drug dealer. He also explained why McTavish hated him so much - he'd lured the man's daughter into one of his clubs, gotten her high and slipped a sedative into her drink. Her friends had pulled her out of the club before anything happened, but in her stupor she was hit by a care. They made him get even higher and to forget what had just happened, but recorded his answers. He was, to borrow a phrase, a massive weeaboo and had done his club up in a faux-Japanese aesthetic. Despite that, the club on the other side of the road was even uglier.  
 
The former office building, now known as the '23rd' and host to a major market for the area on its ground floor. Through the use of an astral scout, the runners discovered that a local Ghoul gang - rivals of the 23rd Slicers - were waiting around not far from the building via an intact part of the sewer system. The runners went ahead with their plan, Kilbo and Yokai fighting and killing the ten guards on the ground floor. Firebug and Ladybug entered the top floor and located the device. Whilst Firebug retrived it, and set fire to a nearby room as a distraction, Ladybug made her way over the where it was being kept as cover. She fought the leader of the gang, a Troll Adept, and killed him in single combat as Firebug made off with the device. Kilbo and Yokai made their wya up the stairs to regroup, cutting their way through numerous gangers to do so. As they reached the ground floor, they fought and killed several ghouls making an ill-timed attack on their rivals.
 
The Runners then made their escape, noting a tiltrotor flying over the Barrens in a search pattern in the distance.  


Dirk confirmed Marsh's story with McTavish, and got more info on Marsh. He promised the KE detective that he would have something serious on Marsh within 24 hours. They had surveillance on the Yakuza, who talked about gearing up to get an elf at Snowflake. McTavish decided to wait to see what Dirk turned up before killing Marsh, but the Yaluza made to attack. Traveling in two jeeps, they had three foot soldiers (one carrying an Aztechnology Strike loaded with a fragmentation rocket, the other two with Ares Alphas), twp adepts armed with swords, and were lead by a cybered up street samurai. Circe's spirit caused the foot soldier with the rocket launcher to miss, and then battle was joined.

Two of the Yakuza were left alive but defeated, whilst the rest were killed. After being paid with certified credsticks in a noodlebox, from the same noodle stand the met was located at, Dirk uploaded Marsh's confession to McTavish, who used it to have Marsh arrested. Marsh was charged with attempted rape and possession with intent to distribute. The Johnson, or his employer, figured out Dirk's real identity by bugging McTavish's comlink.
The Runners delivered the device to a man at the address indicated by the johnson, and received their payment. The 23rd caught fire due to the fire set by Firebug, and was completely gutted by the blaze. The Runners noted that the Tiltrotor began to vector towards the 23rd, but they were long gone by the time it arrived.

Background

Through some unknown means, the woman who hired the runners in I've Come Here From Nowhere was made aware of the fact that some sort of violence was to be directed against the Snowflake nightclub; located in Touristville. There were two main suspects - the local Yakuza, who the owner of the club, Daniel Marsh (an elf), may not have kept his protection payments up with, and Andrew McTavish, a KE detective with personal reasons to hate Marsh.

McTavish did indeed intend to kill Marsh, having acquired an Ares Predator, false SIN, and a ballistic mask for the job. The Yakuza did intend to attack the club, but not to attack Marsh - they wanted a rival gang leader (coincidentally, also an elf) who made a show of partying at Snowflake and was pushing in on the Yakuza's territory. He also supplied Marsh with the drugs he dealt.

Meet

The meet took place at a noodle stand in Touristville, not far from the targeted nightclub. Yokai and Circe arrived on time, and had some box noodles. Dirk had to drop off his daughter at home, and arrived fifteen minutes late. Whilst talking to the Johnson - a man in two thousand nuyen suit, with adept powers and prototype transhuman bioware - Yokai realised that he'd seen this man before, at the end of I've Come Here From Nowhere.

The Johnson went on to explain that his employer wanted to hire the runners to stop an act of violence in or at the Snowflake nightclub. After providing some info on Marsh's finances and McTavish, he organised for the runners to have access to the nightclub across the street from Snowflake - an awful techno-egyptian styled place currently undergoing renovations.

Run

Dirk called up his contacts, first asking Zer0 to find out anything on their Johnson. He was using a Rating 5 fake SIN with a curious defect - his last name was Chinese, despite his caucasian appearance. Zer0 also stated that he felt edgy or like he was being watched whilst he checked on the SIN. He then asked Henrietta Lang to look into Marsh, and she happily gave Dirk some public info on him. He was charged with supplying alcohol to a minor and possession with intent to distribute various party drugs, but was found not guilty on both occasions. She also implied that Andrew McTavish had a grudge against Marsh, and was annoyed that he could no longer come after him at his new club in Touristville, due to jurisdictional issues. She also gave Dirk Marsh's com code.

Arriving at the street Snowflake is located on, the Runners quickly set up in the offices of the nightclub opposite it. Scouting out Snowflake astrally, they found no astral defences and Marsh asleep in his office, with one guard. Using magic, Yokai and Circe broke in, knocked out the guard and used control thoughts on Marsh. He said he hadn't been paying any attention to the local Yakuza, and that the he did indeed act as a drug dealer. He also explained why McTavish hated him so much - he'd lured the man's daughter into one of his clubs, gotten her high and slipped a sedative into her drink. Her friends had pulled her out of the club before anything happened, but in her stupor she was hit by a care. They made him get even higher and to forget what had just happened, but recorded his answers. He was, to borrow a phrase, a massive weeaboo and had done his club up in a faux-Japanese aesthetic. Despite that, the club on the other side of the road was even uglier.

Dirk confirmed Marsh's story with McTavish, and got more info on Marsh. He promised the KE detective that he would have something serious on Marsh within 24 hours. They had surveillance on the Yakuza, who talked about gearing up to get an elf at Snowflake. McTavish decided to wait to see what Dirk turned up before killing Marsh, but the Yaluza made to attack. Traveling in two jeeps, they had three foot soldiers (one carrying an Aztechnology Strike loaded with a fragmentation rocket, the other two with Ares Alphas), twp adepts armed with swords, and were lead by a cybered up street samurai. Circe's spirit caused the foot soldier with the rocket launcher to miss, and then battle was joined.

Aftermath

Two of the Yakuza were left alive but defeated, whilst the rest were killed. After being paid with certified credsticks in a noodlebox, from the same noodle stand the met was located at, Dirk uploaded Marsh's confession to McTavish, who used it to have Marsh arrested. Marsh was charged with attempted rape and possession with intent to distribute. The Johnson, or his employer, figured out Dirk's real identity by bugging McTavish's comlink.
