Summary
Ancient scrolls were found and stolen, taken to be sold to the highest bidder. Runners infiltrated an auction, stole the scrolls, and made increasingly poor decisions.
Background
A cache of ancient scrolls were uncovered in the Salish Shidhe Council, near the Tir border. Discovered by accident, a complex array of tunnels were revealed, strange iconography painting the walls. None of this was expected, the find clearly not compatible with any local cultures or time periods. As news of the discovery spread, the curiosity of outside factions grew.
As Treasa began to organize an operation, local Ancients managed to strike first. While security by the Salish was growing increasingly strong, the bikers managed to raid and steal an preserved scroll from the excavation. Treasa had already sent an operative to surveil the site, and the agent continued after the Ancients. However, they never checked back in. Wanting the scroll and its secrets for herself, Treasa called together a team of runners to follow the trail and uncover what happened.
The Meet
The team is called to meet together at Treasa's request. Like most of her meets, she provides food to the runners. Charon decides to be excessively old-meme-cringe-etc. The other runners adapt as best they can.
Briefing the team on the job, she lets them know that a spooky relic had been uncovered, and then stolen. Given that the Ancients were the ones to take it, this was not a comfortable mission for Babylon. Unfortunately for her though, Treasa was calling a debt she had earned in the past.
Treasa wanted the team to find the scroll, wherever it was, and return it, intact. A very simple mission.
Most of the team was alright with normal rewards, but Charon, the queen of poor decisions, decided to demand karma. Treasa graciously accepted the request. Babylon, knowing Treasa was a fae, was nearly exploding in "wtf Charon". She held it in though while Treasa was dealmaking. She didn't want draw a negative response from the J.
