Summary
Gang gets hired by Lamashtu to cover her trail. They succeed!
Background
Lamashtu has planted informants in several companies to keep tabs on anyone trying to look for paracritters in an effort to stay ahead of Ghostwalker's trackers. So far, she's managed to stay on the good side of caution.
The Meet
The meeting happens in a morgue. Lamashtu, veiled by magic, asks the team to find who killed Helena Tsaikoskoi, the cadaver on one of the dissecting tables. Signs indicate she was killed by garrote and Lamashtu already used Grave Whispers to confirm it wasn't someone she knew. She knows the office and the rough time she died, promising espionage utilities in exchange for covering this informant's death.
The Plan
At first, Silver Lining looks into Matrix Searches and finds more information about Helena, further informing the team of their odds. Kado's experience with Evo tells her that the lack of public outroar all but confirms them to be racing against Evo's internal investigation. Further information also reveals they're after a particular PI called Jane Doe, suspected to be a spirit working for Evo as a free individual.
The Run
There's no choice but to go into Helena's office. Kado's Evo connections get them in without too much issue. Silver Lining gets his ass handed to him by the final boss of Shadowrun, a Rating 4 camera. After some serious trial and Frieren's spirit helping get a direct connection, he breaks into the host, wipes them from the footage and gets footage of when the killer entered the office during after hours.
