Summary

A large gathering of urban shamans hire a Haven team to help acquire a replacement slushie mixer and extract a shipment of tainted Stuffer Shack slushie mix before it can be distributed.

The Meet

Following a poorly phrased and confused job request, Flyboy, Jenny Glitz, Southpaw, Footsteps, and Valkyrie each receive a location file for a large rave at a warehouse in Downtown Seattle. They are instructed to fly a specific green ARO symbol upon arriving; it's apparent that the bouncer is quick to refuse anyone without the ARO, stating that people have no business coming in unless they have an important reason to do so. Inside, they wander through the dancefloor of a massive rave until locating a fabulously dressed person running an ARO that states RUNNERS PLEASE COME HERE. After convincing the raver that they needed to discuss the job in a more secure area, the team is lead to a soundproofed medical room where they meet a high man rambling about visions of tainted drinks.

The high man states that the team must destroy this tainted drink, and briefly discusses seeing a warehouse and vague feelings of mental control. He also says that they need a replacement slushie machine for one that was recently broken. He provides a large number of credsticks to the runners which totaled to 60,000 NuYen. When asked for clarifying information, an airwave spirit appears and implies that Aztechnology is involved with the use of 5th world song lyrics. The team is eventually provided more background from Jerry, a sober urban shaman that was partially responsible for the destruction of the previous slushie machine, who requests the runners locate this tainted drink mix and deliver it back to the rave. He summons a friendly local cement spirit, clocks him in, and asks him to provide a general location of the warehouse to the runners.

The Plan

After gently ushering a dancing shaman from the parking lot, the team departs. Jenny Glitz enters a Stuffer Shack host in order to perform recon and observe the icons, personas, and MARKs in use.

Aftermath

Jerry received the delivery of the tainted teal slushie mix after clarifying for the team that the rave was going to dispose of it themselves. The slushie machine is successfully installed at the rave and everybody is happy again. Flyboy dumps all of his flyspy footage to Southpaw for her to edit into a skate tape.
