Background
The wreckage of the Edmund Fitzgerald lies at the bottom of Lake Superior since it sank during a huricane with up to 25 feet high waves, on November 10, 1975. All 29 crew members aboard perished, and the ship's sinking remains one of the most famous maritime disasters on the Great Lakes. In 1995, a marine expidition recovered the ships bell which has since been on display at the Great Lakes Shipwerck Museum at the Whitefish Point Light Station in Paradise, Michigan. During the expidition that recovered the ships bell, spirits were disturbed and have been in agony since.
Carleton Moreau is a successful businessman whos operations depend on the safe passage from Lake Superior to Lake Michigan through white fish point. Recent events have infuriated the spirits at the site of the wreckage, causing storms and dangerous seas which are dangerous to navigate through, increasing operational costs for his Logistics Company, High Latitude Logistics, as well as last, but not least increased danger to human lives. In particular, 8 people went missing and are presumed dead in an incident which seems to be related to the shipwreck. One of the missing people, Howard Mc Sorley, is an employee of High Altitude Logistics. So, Carleton has decided to act in order to find out what happened to his employee, what might be the source for the constant bad weather at the site of the wreckage, and what might be done to normalize the situation.
The Meet
Thunder picks up Star of the Sea in Snomish and they drive to the Saphir South building in Touristvill to meet with Carleton Moreu in his office. After greeting the runners, he explains that an employee of his company High Latitude Logistics, Howard McSorley, has gone missing and is probably dead. Further, he explains that Howard's whife, who is also an employee at High Latitude Logistics is a nervous wreck and needs closure regarding what caused Howard's dissapearance and why.
Additionally, a low preassure-cell above the siteof an old ship wreck which went under approximately 110 years ago is causing bad storms and rough seas which is a true disturbance for the logistics across Lake Superior, including Carletons business in the area.
He offers the runners 16 000 Nuyen, transportation and lodging to find out what happened to Howard, and find out what is behind the weird weather occorance and to solve the problem with the weather if possible.
After the runners accept the task and payment, Carleton suggest the runners meet with Maryann Clay two stories down, whom he has already paid to perform devination and hopefully offer the runners some clues and possible advice.
With tarot cards Mariann foresees: Situation: An impulsive and eager character who doesn't usually let once they have set their mind to something has ventured into dangerous territory. Obstacle: Sorrow and grief which is being dewlled upon and seem very difficult to let go of. Solution: Protect the teritory by defending yourselves.
And her crystal bowl reveils: A research yacht called "David Boyd". A necromatic raven king using his necromantic powers in an aquatic environment. A water spirit which looks like a possible nymph.
After the meets with Carleton and Maryanne, the runners grab their things and fly off to Sault Ste. Marie without wasting any time.
The Plan
Star and Thunder plan to go to Sault Ste. Marie to see Veronica Mc Sorley and hopefully find out relevant information about Howard Mc Sorley's dissapearance. After that they plan to visit the Shipwreck Museum at Whitfish Point to find out more about the lake and its ship wrecks. After information gathering is finished, they hope to have enough clues to what has happened to do something about it.
