Summary

The runners were hired to kill a terrible dissonant technomancer who was running a BTL den, and had caused great trouble for The Trinity.

They killed him, obtained a list of clients who had bought his BTLs, rescued the BTL users present, arranged treatment for them, and destroyed all of his BTL recordings, some of which were quite horrible.

Background

The Trinity consists of Sharptusk (sometimes called Sharptooth), who was a Neo-Haven runner, his girlfriend Missy, and his boyfriend Taka. The three of them had been betrayed by a fellow Neo-Haven runner. But he didn't initially know by whom. Missy was in a Knight Errant jail cell, and Taka was being held by Renraku.

Sharptusk hired a team of runners to rescue Missy from a downtown KE precinct (see report). Rasputin was part of this team.

Then, Sharptusk and Missy hired a team of runners to rescue Taka from the high security Renraku prison (see report.) Vip3r was part of this team.

Now the three of them had learned who was responsible for Missy and Taka being imprisoned. Their enemy was D@t@sp1k3, a dissonant technomancer who made his living running a BTL den in Redmond. The Trinity wanted to leave town and start a new life together, but they couldn't walk away without seeing D@t@sp1k3 destroyed first.

The Meet

Harebuck and Vip3r knew each other. They rode together to the meet. Rambozo gave KBC a ride. She was impressed to meet a man who she realized was a meme, like her, but for different reasons. Still, he was clearly committed to his branding and had quite a reputation and fan base. Rasputin drove to the Daze separately.

At the meet, which was in the backroom at the Daze, Sharptusk explained the situation. He provided the address of the BTL den. The Trinity would join the runners when it was time to attack. Most important to them was that D@t@sp1k3 die. They also hoped the runners could destroy his data files.

Harebuck led the conversation with them. They were not sure if D@t@sp1k3 would be on-site at the den physically. He would be in the matrix for sure.

The Plan

Vip3r and KBC reached out to contacts for more information, and then did some matrix searching. When Vip3r called her contact David Yang from the Eight-Eights Triad, he verified that the place was in Halloweener territory and operated by providing the Halloweeners with a cut of the profits in exchange for their help with security. Likewise, he noted that the Eighty-Eights would not be sorry to see the place gone. Vip3r cleverly negotiated another payment for the team from the gang. When KBC called her contact Miss Moon, she was able to get a layout of the building. With a deep Tier 6 search on D@t@sp1k3, they learned how despicable many of his BTLs were. All outrageous extreme experiences, but that included absolutely vile stuff, from snuff films to the experience of conducting brutal crimes against helpless victims.

The team quickly agreed that this collection of BTLs needed to be nuked from orbit, but KBC noted that one piece of data could be saved and would be quite valuable for blackmail. The list of who had bought each BTL experience.
