Summary
Having earned trust from the Red Children, the runners of ShadowHaven are invited to seek the Court of the Crimson King, a mysterious location in cyberspace.
Background
Before the events of Hast Thou Considered the Tetrapod?, Scarlet the Oracle agreed to reveal more information about the Red Children if runners could "seek the Court of the Crimson King." Night Claws was eager for information and agreed; a new decker named Quickdraw agreed to come along as well.
The Meet
A perfectly unassuming host icon sat waiting. It refused entry to anyone not running in hot-sim VR.
The Plan
Not understanding the dream-like logic of the bizarre host, Night Claws and Quickdraw struggled to make any progress. They relied on their knowledge of host architecture and matrix design as well as intuitive interactions with the fantasy iconography to progress.
The Run
The two appeared in a pitch-black area with a starry night sky overhead, low gravity
Aftermath
Both the client and the mystery caller were pleased with their results. Payment was given as offered, and Night Claws was given an icon to a mysterious host referred to as "the Court of the Crimson King."
