Summary
A person has escaped their cage and maybe soon revealing compromising information to the organizations competitors/enemies. The runners are hired to kill or capture them.
Background
A Man came over to Seattle recently with a Fake SIN from Shiawase. Said man has run off and is potentially about to reveal information about the client. The client was last seen at Sophocles Town Hall.
The Meet
The Crew enters an abandoned Runner safehouse. Where they find a shaped charge rigged to a trid projector. The runners activate the Trid projector which outlays the goal. Capture or Kill a target last seen at Sophocles Town Hall.
The Plan
The crew tries to find more about the information about the target via various legwork opportunities with a heavy emphasis on quick information. The crew will then plan and hit the target based on wherever he is located.
The Run
The crew starts with a Matrix Search and a Spirit Search. Despite Wraiths insistence on spending extra time for a more throughout Matrix Search, speed is determined to be more important and the crew tries a Threshold Three Search, finding background information of the Man's exploits: He arrived in Seattle a short while ago, obtained a fake SIN for Shiawase...and then disappeared. The spirit "finds" the man in the Sophocles Town Hall. Meido attempts a social infiltration where she runs into a Blood Mage Vampire, a Vtuber (the worst thing), and Bone Daddy. Bone Daddy is the only one to spare a conversation with Meido, and Meido is unable to smooze the legend that is Bone Daddy. Quill tries a visual stakeout, and only fineds Pumpkin demons and a spirits in the sky that make spooky spirit noises. OooooOOooooOOoohh. There's a subplot of the crew pursuing this leads that ultimately leads to a dead end. With no other avenues to pursue due to the perceived time crunch, the crew decides to go in blind into the Town hall to try to find this man.
Meido disguises herself into a...sukeban(?). A Sukeban
Quill and Wraith get ready for an Infiltration
Geodesic does Decker (Not Technomancer, Nope) things
And Rogozhin....does rats and car things. Oh and corpse spirits. How could one forget?
Meido distracts Bone Daddy and the Vampire and the Vtuber. To various degrees of success. It works well enough for the Vtuber and The Bone Daddy. For the vampire, it works perhaps a little TOO well. And Meido determines her essence might be in danger. Still she does an admirable job distracting the people as Quill and Wraith go through the garage utilizing Wraiths skill in Hardware and Quills gymnastics and escape artist skills. The pair make it into the back, and after some vomiting and some information gathering of computers. The pair find a evidence room that has plenty of pictures of the target, a computer room with all the files deleted. Wraith gets a blast of spooky shit from her luminous perception from a door to a room. After exhausting all other options, its clear that that door is guarding...something. Unwilling to test the door, Rogozhin uses a rat, which promply gets nuked and flambe'd by the door. Unwilling to join the rat corpose, Wraith decides to rig the side of the room's wall with foam explosives and detonates the wall.
Bad to the Bone starts to play
Wraith and Quill use a thermal smoke and carry the "VIP", or at least a huge and light unmoving version of the VIP onto a car prepared by Rogozhin, and miraculously manage to do it without hurting or being hurt by The Bone Daddy. Once on the vehicle, its clear that it isn't the real VIP, just a ritual doll that can be used to target the VIP with ritual spells. The crew decides that they are unable to pursue the lead and hand the clues to another group.
