Summary
A protector goes too far trying to save someone. Only to learn that someone would end up saving him and prove they are more than meets the eye. Omens of the future however... prove the two may need each other again.
Background
"He is there... I see him... I know he is there... they will not escape me. I WILL be complete."
Whilst patrolling the Horned Bear base. One Crimson Tide looked about for Ashen Hand, their captain. Only to find out he had gone missing. And with Horned Bear's most competent matrix personnel in Amazonia, desperate to track him and find help, she called upon Perdix. Both for his skills and because she remembered Ashen Hand briefly mentioning something in regards to the catboy before his disappearance. Figuring it would be good for the two to actually bond. And to hopefully save both of their lives.
The Meet
Meeting at the Slice and Bite. A higher-end yet still middle class pizzeria in Snoqualmie serving real/non-synthetic/soy pizza and pasta. After heading towards one of the private booths on the second form. Perdix met up with Crimson Tide. One of Horned Bear's captains, primarily in charge of their astral personnel and staff. Knowing to keep it short and not too long. She gave the basic rundown, Fredrickson (Ashen Hand) has gone missing and nobody on staff at the base is able to pinpoint his location as most of their elite matrix operatives are on assignment in Amazonia. Perdix accepted the mission with little hesitation, Crimson Tide stating while pay would be little, they could agree upon some degree of nuyen or equipment they currently possess to cover the expenses and efforts Perdix would have made. Agreeing to this promptly Perdix headed back for Seattle. Hoping, that is where Fredrickson may reside.
Knowing Fredrickson's usual attire. Perdix began his matrix search. Though the information seemed to be partially scrubbed eventually his location was narrowed down to the Southern end of Bellevue. Their path heading towards the southern end of the Maycreek river. While keeping a close eye on things, he researched this area only to find it to be a corporate technological hotspot. Several low and high end electronical components sold in the area. Several corporations vying for power and real-estate in the area. Eager for remnants of... something in the error. Regardless, with his matrix expertise and noticing a blind spot or two. Perdix recognized the shimmer of the Horned Bear RPC cloak trailing through the area. Moving to intercept him in the nearby area atop his motorcycle of which he rode as fast as he could.
After surprising Ashen Hand/Fredrickson in a seemingly remote area of this district. The man seemed determined to tell Perdix to leave and that he had this under control, assuming the hacker to be elsewhere only to see the motorcyclke pull up while Perdix was able to stare him in the eyes and talk clearly. Stating that if he was able to find him, whoever he was chasing after is more than capable of doing the same. Especially if someone powerful like MCT. Shocked by the bout of courage he witnessed, Fredrickson surrendered and admitted what had happened. A name from Perdix's past had came to haunt him. One known as Tristan. Who as it seemed recently subcontracted MCT into purchasing an abandoned small production facility now under the protection of an assassin Tristan paid 500,000 nuyen to who for now remained nameless. Though the facility as it turns was dedicated to producing BTLs and similar devices that was once owned by NeoNET. That name and the facility somehow... eliciting a response from Perdix. Like a memory gently scarping its claw across the back of his mind yet as quickly as it arose, it faded. Regardless, the two now had to work together. To figure out whatever it may be that lie in wait.
The Plan
Upon initial reconnaissance conducted by Perdix via his drones, the hacker overheard the name "Tristan" being spoken aloud. Upon a very in-depth matrix search, it was found out Tristan was an elite MCT operative known for being a decent person by the standards of MCT operatives. An elite agent for the corporation... who died 15 years ago. First hand POV recorded via cybereyes confirming the death to be caused by headshot from enemy runners. Confused as to what this could mean the two headed in more cautiously. To investigate this facility and figure out more about what Tristan found intriguing about this place, seeking answers finally after all this time.
The Run
Perdix first managed to hack inside the host, able to get a general layout of the building and what resided inside it. Where the guards patrolled, the best entrances, etcetera. Though a plan was formed with what seemed to be the cleanest entryway possible. Or at the very least the one with the least resistance. After grabbing their equipment they began breaking into the building, Ashen Hand thankfully bringing looper rounds for his Savalette Guardian. Himself then able to loop the cameras with relative ease and not drawing attention.
