Summary

The Internet is a series of Vtubers.

Background

"Jinzo Jouzo is a wholesome witch of the North Pole, working with Santa to deliver gifts and blessings to inspiring female figures across the world! Known for her heavy metal karaoke subscriber streams and gap moe cuteness, she's part of the 17th wave of Horizon Black Color's talents."

So says real-name-Yuichika-Karata's blurb on the Horizon subsidiary KuroSanji's host portal for their vtuber talents. Recently in vtuber news, several former members of the KuroSanji team who have since left the company have been whistle-blowing harsh working practices and toxic work environments. Although current staff fervently deny these allegations and even trash talk their former senpais and kouhais on P2.1, the runners are approached by a woman who refuses to identify herself, claiming much the opposite.

The Meet

Ms. Johnson is a cold, business-like woman who opens by calling the three runners, Oberon, Triage, and Bunny Hop, all street trash barely deserving of the pay she's offering. A great start to a fruitful relationship.

Onto business, she further explains that there is a target for extraction in the KuroSanji downtown offices, regaling runners with the broad strokes of the drama outlined above. Jinzo Jouzo is a target of extraction for their unnamed organization, she goes onto explain, and is believed to be held physically at the KuroSanji Seattle corporate office in the Downtown area, anywhere from floors eight to thirteen. She is either unable or unwilling to provide the runners with any information beyond this, save that the target is unaware of any planned extractions but almost certainly willing.

Negotiations begin, with Triage leading the pack, stating that the sum on offer (a paltry 8k nuyen) isn't enough to justify the risk of running an extraction op against a direct Horizon subsidiary. He eventually sweet talks Ms. Johnson into another deal - fourteen thousand, plus bonus pay and top shelf UCAS SINs, if and only if the runners stay quiet. A deduction will be made for every instance of going loud. The runners happily agree, and regroup to begin the legwork phase of their preparation.
