Summary
Background
If there is one thing that can be said about the Barrens Boys, it's that they like to drink. So when Poe proposed a drinking night, and John suggested Boozeman's place, it was all downhill from there.
The Meet
Let's go drinking, Poe said. What could go wrong, Poe said. It'll be fun, Poe said.
Granted, he was right. The Boys were throwing em back when Lenny, an up and coming kid, wandered in and started chatting the team up. They learned he was a newly minted decker with some stolen gear, and trying to make his way up the ranks. So the Boys invited him to drink, and drink they did.
It was around the time they were trading Hot Shittakes and toasting their fifth or sixth round, that everything went black....
The Plan
- Survive Neijing's hangover cure.
- Find the girl in John's commonlink
- Find the Johnson from the prior night
- Save Lenny (save the world!)
The Run
... when they woke up, the Boys were on the beach. John was wearing some fancy suit, Buck was in his skivvies and a new tattoo, and for some reason Poe was in Galt's Ace of Wands coat. The small beach shack they're in is filled with junk, sapient racoons and foxes, a goat in a massive fishbowl, and empty bottles of booze everywhere. Everyone is in pain, Buck was clearly injured, and sitting just outside, to John's utter torment, a beautiful SAAB Gladius... that has been crashed into a Corsair Panther and the words "FUCK THE CORPS!" sprawled all over the boat.
And Poe looks like Johnny Spinrad for some damn reason.
After finally coming to, and generally regretting every life choice including being born, the Boys manage to find some things:
- John gets his foci out of the car before the car sinks.
- Buck recovers a brick of bethameth from the boat, and a flyer for "Dr, TruthTeller" a very trustworthy looking orc
- John discovers a photo of an unknown elf named ________ on his commlink snorting his reagents like a line of novacoke while Buck, shirtless, cheers in the background.
- John also finds a timer on his commlink, which they currently think is a countdown to finding Lenny. The Boys all hope they did not kill Lenny.
- A short trip back to Boozeman's indicates that the boys took some kind of run to liberate all the Betameth from the boat
- However; apparently a party occurred. A nearby water spirit which had been tainted with beer, tells the Boys that John is the "Party Wizard" and was flinging "the Good Stuff" and the "Strange Crystals" to the assembled people on the beach.
- John summons an Earth Spirit to sift the beach and recover as much of the Betameth as possible
- Poe summons a Spirit of Man to locate the girl, Jasmine
The Boys head to the University and after some Matrix Searching, towards the wing with Jasmine in it by way of the Sewers. They spend far too much time trying to bypass the highest of security - a simple locked door with a camera on it.
