Summary
The runners ruin a relatively innocent man's life for personal gain and corporate profit.
Background
Ares has discovered something of great value in the Cascade Mountains. First to know about it, yet without any extraterritoriality agreements, the Mega moved quickly to change that. Entering negotiations with the newly appointed Chief of the Cascade Ork tribe, Ahmik Craghand, Ares has been making diplomatic inroads to beginning operations in the region. Unfortunately for them, Craghand, still newer to the task of leading his people, relies heavily on the advice of his father's advisors, and one in particular, Pat Moss, is heavily opposed to the proposed deals.
Needing to have the negotations proceed smoothly, Danny Hoffman, director of Ares special operations in the area, contracted a team of runners to remove Moss from the political calculus.
The Meet
The runners were called to an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Redmond. Spider, doing research in advance, realized their employer was Ares and also discovered that there were multiple armed individuals within. Nervous and wary, the team entered the building to find Danny Hoffman calmly smoking a cigarette, surrounded by heavily armed and wared guards. Danny, offering some cigarettes to the team, managed to break the ice, casually greeting them. As the team settled in, Milliam tried smoking for the first time. She wasn't the best at it.
Introducing the job, Danny told the team about the problem Ares faced, telling them he needed Moss gone, one way or another. Whether killed or simply discredited, he could not be allowed to affect the proceedings any longer. The only real restriction was that the job had to be subtle. No direct trail could lead back to Ares. Doing so could sink the negotiations. Troubled by the ethics of the job, Milliam decided to back out, not able to stand the thought of what she might be forced to do.
