Summary
Background
During Anamnesis, Samael learned the truth about Hank's sibling, the cyberzombie who he escaped with. With enough medical drugs to keep her alive for another month, the team gathers again in order to help her once again. While Chance was present on the run, he's not familiar with the depth of the problem and Raum entering the team is a new variable to be resolved....
The Meet
The runners get their various contacts directing them to the job - Raum and Chance from their fixers, and Samael from Hank directly. They head to a small no-tell motel located in Pullayup for the meet.
The team meets outside the no-tell motel, chatting briefly about their skills and ability before going into the meet. Raum begins to feel the BGC of the area, likely put off by the cyberzombie in question, though he doesn't know that part. Raum does some cleansing, and then the team discusses, prompted by Sam, if Raum can create positively aspected BGCs - though sadly, he cannot.
Nerlithothep, who goes by Beatrice in the shadow community, greets them at the door of the hotel - with Allison, the Cyberzombie on the bed, connected to a medkit. The implant which regulates her mental stimulation, an Evoked Memory Stimulator, is faulty and the team needs to help fix this problem. Beatrice explains we need to take the cyberzombie out as if it was a normal person in order to build more memories.
Chance takes a look over the hardware at Beatrice's permission, to see if he can repair the memory stimulator. The cyberzombie is equipped with: Datajack, Biomonitor, Autoinjector, Memory Stimulator, Move By Wire, Cybertorso. They discuss that neither BTL nor Simsense will resolve this as the memories encoded into the EMS need to be personal.
As Chance digs into the files, Raum haggles Beatrice a bit for later services and Samael considers where they can take Allison - opting for non violent ideas; more or less, trying to steer the job into 'take the cyberzombie out on a date night in Pullyup.'
