Summary
Where the incipient heroes are hired to collect radical reagents to allow a back alley clinic to create orichalcum to fund their patients needs.
Background
Sophocles has seem some pretty rough times, especially under the 'gentle' leadership of the once powerful and creepy spirit known as Pump King Jack. Now that Jack is gone, a power vacuum has taken his place, and Dr. Ezekyle Burton cannot afford the daily upkeep of his therapy clinic, and the needs of the residents are far from complete. Dr. Burton has reached out to the Haven in the hopes that someone will come to his aid, and save the clinic, at least from this first most pressing problem.
The Meet
The runners are instructed to meet the good doctor at his clinic in Sophocles, located in the Redmond Barrens only a few miles from Glow City. Once arrived, they are shown to a waiting room where shortly after they are met by Doctor Burton himself; a ghoul psychiatrist who is also bound to a wheelchair thanks to faulty cyber legs. Dr. Burton warmly greets the crew, but declines to shake Bland's proffered hand, stating that his current state is to dangerous to allow physical contact. He then explains the troubles within Sophocles, and the dire need for funding the clinic to continue his good work. He explains that he and his co-worker have a plan; namely the collection of radical reagents so that his partner can refine them and use them to create the rarest of substances; orichalcum. He offers a great deal of information as to the potential whereabouts of the required gold, copper, and cinnabar needed for the process. Gold and copper can be found in various electronic parts; if collected in sufficient quantity, it should be enough to cover their needs. Cinnabar is a more rare commodity, but fortunately there is a shipment of cinnabar vases being brought into Downtown Seattle that should easily provide what is needed. Once the agents are refined and the orichalcum created, they doctor will be able to split the value with the runners, offering them 14,000 nuyen as payment for their efforts. Realizing that this is a good cause, the team readily agrees to help the Doctor, and set off to plan their attack.
