Summary
The runners get a nice offer from a Wuxing J. Burn a local talismonger business to the ground and earn 20k nuyen. What's not to like?
Background
Wuxing releases a regular internal press release detailing their planned financial actions related to the stock market. This is supposed to STAY internal but the most recent was leaked. On it was a list of purchases as well as the planned short selling of Trinity Moon, a tacoma based talisman shipping and production company well regarded by the locals. Put a rival out of business and make some money on the way. Instead, the locals of Tacoma and beyond attempted to short squeeze Wuxing, investing piles of hard earned savings. The local veterans association even had some combat ready volunteers take up arms to protect the physical location from any would-be attackers.
The Meet
The runners pulled up to a club called "Mongoose". After squeezing past the troll bouncer, they found their way to the second floor, where a wall of bodyguards could be found. The J invited the runners to enter through the beef wall and the runners met their Mr. Wu. He gave a simple deal. Twenty thousand nuyen for as much damage to stock and property that the runners could manage. A location at the Tacoma docks in a c-zone and 2 days. The runners, though not excited at the prospect of doing a corps dirty work, accepted nevertheless. Nuyen is Nuyen at the end of the day.
