The Meet
At about ten in the morning, our protagonists get messages from their respective Fixers mentionning a job availible to them, the meet is scheduled 6 hours later so it gives them time to prepare. Luck however would not be on their side, as the traffic got them stuck for such a time that three fourth of the team were late of about twenty minutes. The place where the meet is taking place is a bar, at the heart of the redmond barrens. It's main clientelle being awekened, Frostbite had a show-stopping moment when entering, seeing most of the bar's clientelle perk up and look at him intensely because of his weird aura. The group was shown the room where the J was waiting by the barmaid, and thus they went to knock on it, a response inviting them in made itself heard, however no one was in the room. Shamrock's instinct helped her figure out the J had teleported behind us, for some reason, and an assenssing test later the team knew this lady was a powerfull ((mag7)) mage, that had a number of focuses on herself, as well as a troubled emotionnal profile and a Type 2 cancer of the eyes.
Once the team seats itself inside, the J explains that a book of hers was stoled as she was moving between appartments by gangers, and insists that she needs it back. The team decide not to negociate a better pay and raise it to 10 000, with 2 000 in advance. The meeting concludes and it is not long before the team gets in the vehicle/home of Zenith, where Sp4rks will do a T6 matrix search for a deal about the book being made, and will discover over the course of an hour that :
- There is currently a deal made about the very book in question with Ares, set to be executed 4 day from now
- The J is called Dana, and is an ancient soldier of the UCAS
