Summary
Background
Benjamin Johnson, CEO of Unicornergy Toy Company, has had one hell of a week. He is convinced that against all odds, a team of shadowrunners made it into his R&D facility and wreaked havoc on behalf of one of his enemies. How else could you explain what had happened at the Toy Fair? That unicorn. . .well the poop was supposed to be cute and fluffy, not literal weapons grade vile brown water. Razz and Friends had declared the marketing rights contract they had signed with Unicornergy null and void as the company had A) publicly embarrassed the popular children’s trid, and B) had not managed to secure a single merchandising contract with anyone for the rest of the Razz and Friends line. His fledgling company was on the verge of collapse - their good name ruined, the investors fleeing faster than the water had erupted from the unicorn’s behind. . . Well, you get the idea.
And now hackers had hit him again. They had broken into the companies R&D files (which John the Security Spider had assured him had been badly shredded by a wild techno-cat he called a bastet) and stolen everything of value. Unfortunately, the head of the R&D lab was a bit eccentric and had been designing an eight foot tall teddy bear that shot neutrino beams out of the rainbow on its forehead (the man was always quoting some 5th world show called Future something or another and said the bear came from that) - in his spare time of course! The man had made the mistake of storing the data at work and it had been taken by the hackers. And of course, this was the file the hackers were holding over Johnson’s head, claiming that unless he paid them an exorbitant amount of money they would leak the plans of the death bear all over hell and creation - this would be the death knell for his company if it happened. Attempting to beat his ransom deadline, Johnson had sent a team of security spiders out to find where the hackers were keeping his data. The spiders found a UV Host. And were never heard from again (it wasn’t the first time Johnson had had to clean up a few bodies).
Desperate and panicked, Johnson reached out to shadowrunners - they had started this whole mess, surely more of them could fix it.
