Summary
Reina Taylor employs the team to slash and burn the HBI 48 host in order to prevent them from releasing a music video during the same time. The team digs up information on the security spiders and pays the two technomancers a digital visit inside their homes. They knock one out and intimidate another into staying away from the host for the day. The team hacks into the host and reformat the decker's deck while they plunder the files.
Background
Flash Star! has discovered that HBI 48 was planning to release a music video that would compete with their own in the next 2 months, so they've hired a team of runners to cause delays by destroying their files and blasting their spiders.
The Meet
Mokumokuren receives a call from Professor Riley who informs him of a new opportunity to do some matrix work he decides to telepresence for the meet from his home. Milena calls Kolibri about a matrix job that she's heard some rumblings about from her informants and tells her to head for Cherry's Shakes. Clown's commlink starts ringing like a retro phone as Dial-Up rings him with a new job offer and that the meet will be in Cherry's Shake. The team slowly trickles into the restaurant where they meet Reina Taylor. She presents the job to delete data on the HBI 48 host in order to delay their upcoming music video. The runners manage to negotiate a slight bonus to their pay and accept the job.

Mokumokuren
Drek it feels good to do some good ol' fashioned decking, no wild murderhobo spree on cams or bloodsoaked rooms to pace through to plug into some offline terminal. Was a little unusual having the team defer to me to lead a multi-hacker effort, but it went rather smoothly... I wish there was a better way to ensnare a technomancer that doesn't require punching them in the brain though.
