Summary
Underground interests hireshadowrunners to investigate the actions of some Hard Corps employees. Uncovering the cover-up that's been put into place, the team is attacked by an officer under suspicious circumstances, and eventually captures him before retreating to a safehouse.
Background
Concerned citizens of all stripes in the Ork Underground note that Hard Corps has been 'disappearing' people, and legal action is getting bogged down by Ares' best lawyers. Desperate for answers, they pool their resources together, and hire three shadowrunners to investigate the leads that they have.
The Meet
The Johnson gets the team together over VR in the Haven host, convincing them that the job is for a good cause and offering ¥5,000 on completion. Having agreed, the team is directed to follow an underground path to a secret 'clubhouse' on the outskirts of the inhabitable Underground. Once the team arrives, they encounter a diverse group of Underground denizens who share their anecdotes of close individuals who have disappeared after being apprehended by the Corps, and a Skraacha underboss tells them to look out for the magical capabilities of Hard Corps, which seem to have been greater of late.
The Plan
The team retreats to a safehouse to do their legwork, Turul and Shark planning while Athena gets to work enhancing video footage of Hard Corps evicting a small family, who disappeared following this. After about two hours of work, it becomes clear that the employees in question had covered their identification while doing so. Without much ability to track them from there, the team decides to investigate a Hard Corps-protected restaurant from which someone's wife was disappeared after starting a drunken fight.
