Summary
As a matter of satisfying personal desires all around, protecting business interests, and frankly establishing a much higher professional standard all around for the industry and practice of 'ware and surgery, runners collide against a particularly annoying member of the Yakuza in order to cut the serpent's head and enrich themselves by his death.
Asura puts on a maid outfit.
Background
Doc Mortimer was having a problem, a rather annoying one involving the local Yakuza. They were being emboldened, expanding their work into the business of cybernetics of all kinds, from shipment to installation. This was obviously bad for business, but more insultingly personally was how poor of a job they were doing. Giving actual docs like himself a bad reputation for their horrendous medical practice wasn't just going to hurt his profits, it was a smear on the good work he did for countless clients, and he was not standing for it. Thankfully for him, a local fixer named Bolt had been oh so kind as to refer a particular asset of his, Asura, to the clinic. She seemed like she was eager to get new ware and willing to do work for it. And so, in an alignment of interests, a team was then assembled to help make everyone happy.
The Meet
Doc Mortimer called Asura and the other runners - Cleaner Cleaner, Chance (who was using a holo drone and the matrix to attend), and Alkali - into attendance at his office to discuss the details of the job. After the awkward introductions the group shared at first, he made the matter quite simple for them. Kill the head of this new operation into his business, Katsu Yamazaki, before the end of the week when he would leave the country and be on high security afterwards. Unfortunately, beyond a photograph and his name, the good doctor didn't exactly have information on him, so the team had to do a lot of the fill-in-the-blank type of work deckers and magicians excelled at.
As Chance and Alkali worked to piece things together bit by bit, they pieced together the location of the mansion he was staying at, his defenses, and one vulnerability in particular that was quite fitting for the team that had been assembled: the maid service that Yamazaki hired out to do his housework, explicitly human for the sake of your typical class warfare kind of flaunting.
