Summary

The runners are tasked with implanting a cortical bomb inside of a rogue mage. Things are a bit toxic.

Background

Randall Westbrook was an SK mage tasked with investigating toxic magic and the effect it has on environments. When he let himself get a little too close to the source, he started to feel himself slipping, and he panicked. Running away from his post, he dived into the depths of Glow City to avoid a reprisal from his superiors. Meanwhile, reports of strange happenings in Glow City, of higher radiation levels and increased combat, began to trickle beyond. Amrei wanting eyes on the situation, and to bring a rogue asset back into the fold, decided to hire a runner team to forcibly ensure Westbrook's compliance.

The Meet

Dr. Lollipop has been increasing called by into service by her parent corporation, and Amrei decided to test her worth as a lieutenant. Calling the gnome to a private meeting, she gave a briefing on the mission, outlined her expectations, and directed her to pick her teammates for the mission. She explained that while Lollipop's relationship to SK would be kept private from her teammates, she would ensure the mission succeeded, and that her capabilities and judgement would be examined. Amrei doesn't keep useless subordinates. Dr. Lollipop met all this with her usual cheer.

During this, Amrei hacked Dr. Lollipop's commlink, finding a very interesting file that she had made, a collection of video clips spliced together for potential blackmail against La Rapide, which clearly showed she was a banshee.

The meeting with the rest of the team was terse and to the point. Amrei provided a custom made cortical bomb, designed to interface with Westbrook's biology. The team was to enter Glow City, investigate any strange happenings, and implant the bomb in the mage's head, passing along Amrei's order.

The Plan

The team started by doing the normal process of doing matrix searches and asking around. They didn't find much, though they did confirm the reports of increased violence coming out of the region, with surrounding medical staff seeing more patients from gunshot wounds and other, similar injuries.

Deciding to drive in and see what's happening, the team boarded into two vehicles and started driving into Glow City. Unfortunately, Glow City found them. Running into a caravan of Rusted Stilettoes, they were soon surrounded by three very armed trucks, filled to the brim with angry, mutated, orks and trolls.
