Summary
The gang tries to find and recover LB to help Zion and almost bankrupt her store in the process. They discover that something big is at play, and don't know what to do next.
Background
See Never Skip Leg Day.
The Meet
Delphi, Oathbane, Ibis, and Cold Hands meet with M0rd3K41 at his shop Trix & Treats. While most are contacted through fixers, Delphi is contacted directly because of her legitimate business dealings and prior relationship with the owners. The ask is simple: locate and return LB if possible. In exchange, M0rd3K41 offers 32k to be split across the team. Delphi, forgetting what morals are, takes M0rd3K41 on a wild ride of negotiating, and manages to coax him into agreeing to double the price in cash or triple the price in electronics.
The Trix Part
Between the team's matrix-capable members, the team searches for the information currently available on the web. They discover that:
- LB is a repo man for the Tamanous organization. He repossesses ware purchased on credit when payments are missed. He is known for summoning fire spirits and his grenade launcher.
- LB has a criminal SIN and tends to fly it unless working.
- LB's SIN was scanned mostly in his normal haunts except for a short period near E-Vue before disappearing. There was also a disturbance at E-Vue in that window.
The Club
The team heads down to E-Vue, where the team does some recon. Oathbane meets with their contact Brodie J who is inexplicably awake and sober. He informs the team that he did--in fact--see LB the night before, confirmed that he was meeting with Shadow Runners. Brodie J MAY have name-dropped Babylon in the process. Cecelia Cross makes an appearance barefoot and in a good mood until Oathbane avoids physical contact; Cecelia now believes there's something fishy going on. The team, aware that LB met with runners but without knowing where he went next, decide to go investigate his apartment.
The Apartment
The Run
Aftermath
- Zion and M0rd3K41 take out a private loan to pay the runners. I’m sure that there’s nothing bad that’ll happen there.
- Zion trusts that Delphi will bring LB back from--whatever shadow realm he’s in. Will stop trying to contact him or get more support as that might bring heat to him as he’s laying low from the cops.
