Background
After being dishonourably discharged from the MET2K for his callousness in battle, Aden Grogali arrives in Seattle with a vengeance. He spends months finding like-minded individuals, gangers with high-level combat skills, former mercs, gathering them into a squad of trained killers with which he begins to wreak havoc among the Syndicates operating in and around Puyallup.
Hearing of the Yakuza-Triad war heating up, he decides to fan the flames by kidnapping the son of Spider Kage, a powerful Yak lieutenant operating out of the Seattle Downtown and Tacoma areas. He gives the man an ultimatum, either attack the Kat's Cradle, a go-gang who do deliveries for the Italian Mafia in Puyallup City, or his son's life is forfeit.
Meet
The runners head to a Yak-owned club near the southern Downtown docks to meet with Spider Kage. They receive a less-than-warm welcome from their new employers, especially Rabbit due to her vampiric nature and prior indiscretions against the Yakuza and Rook for his Ork heritage. They are told the stakes of the run, and a healthy compensation is laid on the table for them in either nuyen or cyberware and weapons. Furthermore, they are told of a lower-end club near the Bellevue-Redmond border which Spider Kage's son used to frequent.
Run
Making their way to a safe house first, the runners decide to investigate the kidnapping site at the Bellevue border club. Heading there, they are greeted by some ganger guards outside. Rabbit makes a show of intimidating one of them, go so far as to reveal her vampiric nature. The ganger is stunned with fear, though his fellow draws his weapon and backs away, calling for help. A stand-off quickly ensues and the rest of the group scatters, leaving Rabbit alone with them. Deciding they are not worth her time, she legs it, taking some fire from the gangers in the process.
After things have cooled off slightly, along with some chiding words to Rabbit from Snake Eyes in particular. He and Rook return to the club disguised as mercs looking for Rabbit, using her blunder to their advantage while Marion and Rabbit comb through a nearby alleyway, the location where the son was kidnapped, under their RPC cloaks. Following some questioning of the gang boss by Snake Eyes along with rubbing a bit of nuyen under his nose to smooth things along. They get access to the gang's camera footage and learn through analysing them along with help from Rabbit's KE contact that the attackers are probably a man by the name of Aden Grogali and his men.
They use KE's info on the man to narrow down the potential location to a place in Puyallup near the Neon Killing. Waiting for the cover of night, they make their way there. Reaching a small, abandoned town, the runners scope it out first and find evidence of the Grogali gang's activity. They decide on a frontal assault with Rook leading the way.
