Summary
The Runners investigate the assassination of Mr. Cromwell on behalf of Katrin Morgentau and are able to follow the trail in Seattle to Red Sonya, a contract killer and ex-UGB agent who also works for the Red Vory. The team is able to negotiate a meeting with Red Sonya and convince her to give them the information about who hired her.
Background
After the attack on Mr. Cromwell in this run: Katrin Morgentau has had enough of the traitors in her own row. It looks like Mr. Cromwell was on a good track and scared the frenemy. But Katrin needs more information to be able to classify the data correctly. So she decides to find out who gave the order for the attack on Mr. Cromwell. She sends a short video message to Shadow Haven and prepares for a meeting at the Harrington Hotel:
The picture shows a woman inside a fighter plane she wears a S-K Full Body Armor the golden dragon shines on her chest. The roar of powerful thrusters can be heard in the background. The detail shows the wing of a fighter jet and in a short distance two Saeder-Krupp Blitz in parallel flight. "I'm on my way to Seattle. Any Runner willing to find out who is behind the assassination of Cromwell may appear at the Harrington Hotel in two hours. I will put an end to this." The woman is interrupted by the pilot's announcement "Mam we are now accelerating to maximum speed. Are you ready?" The woman responds irritably. "Damn it I was born ready, speed up already, I don't have all day." The transmission breaks off.
The Meet
The Runners show up for the meeting that takes place in the conference room where Mr. Cromwell normally holds his appointments. This time, however, Katrin Morgentau and some heavily armed S-K Guards are waiting for the Runners. Katrin explains the task, emphasizes that it is not about revenge and she only wants to have the information who was the client for the attack. She also provides the Runners with a video recording of the attack inside the club (see run: ) However, she has no record of the sniper shot that took place outside the club and incapacitated Mr. Cromwell. The Runners briefly negotiate with Katrin and are able to strike a deal that allows them access to high-value armor from S-K. The Runners accept and all but Shy are allowed to leave the room. Katrin makes it clear to Shy that she knows about N-51's activities and wants to have a meeting with the leaders. For her taste, the operation is taking too long. It looks like N51 is going to do the dirty work for S-K. Presumably the plan was to simply take the Blood Hawk off N-51's hands after the operation was completed. But since N-51 is taking too long for Katrin's taste to finally complete the operation, she is willing to support N-51 in exchange for all the data on the Blood Hawk. Katrin sets an ultimatum of 2 months.
