Summary
Background
As part of prior set of runs, the Shadowhaven became aware of the Draco Foundation's quest to find the Shards of the Sevenfold staff. Samael, Chance, and Alkali decide to do some digging and find out just what the Foundation is up to....
The Meet
The Plan
- Reverse Cyrano Adowa "Moria" Webster as a weak link in Draco in order to get more information
The Run
- Samael calls Alias to acquire a new Fake SIN for the long con.
- Alkali calls Gamma Grey to acquire a fake aura to help mask Sam's "romance".
- Chance does a variety of matrix searches and finds the following info:
- Draco Foundation (focusing on artifacts):
The Draco Foundation is known to have custody of several powerful artifacts - some were left to them by Dunkelzhan’s Will, some produced by the DIMR as research proof of concepts, some given to them over the years by wealthy patrons or shadowrunners who felt they were worthy custodians for powerful magic, and some acquired during the Artifact Rush of the early 2070s in order to study them or keep them out of the hands of rival organizations such as the Illuminates of the New Dawn, the Order of the Temple, the Aleph Society and the Atlantean Foundation. Known items in the custody of the Foundation or their agents include:
- The First Key of Power
- The Sexton of Worlds
- The Dragonheart
The Foundation is also known to be actively seeking several artifacts, including:
- Excalibur
- Mel’thelem Loci
- The Shards of the Sevenfold Staff
- On Moira Webster:
Adowa Webster is a 36 year old registered magician employed by the Dunkelzhan Institute of Magical Research. Comes from a humble background, having won the DIMR’s Magical Innovation Competition at 18 and used the resulting scholarship to pay for her subsequent education. She is a graduate of MIT&T, holding a Th.D in Thaumaturgical Studies. Known use the alias “Moria” on the Matrix, popular in arcano-archaeology circles and RPG forums. Travels frequently, but seems to work out of the Seattle offices.
- On the “Sevenfold Staff”:
An artifact of unknown providence, split into seven pieces. Made of an unknown silvery material which does not tarnish or rust. Properties, origin and location of the pieces are subject to speculation with little in the way of concrete intel, to the point that active disinformation efforts to flood the arcano-archaeology scene with ‘noise’ can be inferred. Further information seems to be actively obfuscated or deleted from the Matrix.
- The Long Con:
- Matrix Net hits: Intel 4
- Scouting The Target: Intel 11
- Psyche Eval: Intel 16
- Acquires a book and knowsoft on Arcano-Archeology
- Meeting Moira:
- Sam sets up in the local Soybucks with book in hand and Alkali having masked his aura to not reveal the CHA prep or his extensive cyberware.
