Summary
Jack wants his boys back. Runners go get them, but things take a turn and they end up partially selling out to Shiawase.
Background
Jack's been bleeding troops and as he tries to replace them, things keep going wrong. Eighteen of his Starscreamers were kidnapped and he wants to find them, bring them back and make sure they're alright.
The Meet
Jack encounters the group at the usual parking lot, explaining that his boys have gone missing and that he suspects Shiawase of kidnapping them. He isn't too fussy about how the runners do it, as long as they get all of them back home in one piece. The team is a bit hesitant unless they get paid, so Jack offers his usual deal of stolen karma. Duchess in particular is very leery of this, so Jack scratches his head and thinks of alternatives. Homemade Dread, lifestyles, even a few Onotari Interceptors he got from Bolt McMuscle -- this seems enough to convince the group to accept the job. Before that, however, they also visit a nearby gas station where some Starscreamers and their Speaker are holed up. Speakers are somewhat unique Starscreamers in that they don't accept Jack's blessings when joining. This makes them weaker, but allows them to retain their ability to speak. As such, one often accompanies a group of Starscreamers to act as communicator, negotiator and interpreter to the gang's needs. If the troops try to communicate, all that comes out of their mouths are inhumane, nightmare-inducing sounds that bear a distant resemblance to distorted cries of help.
