Summary
Local underground fightclub is receiving threats and the purse backers want an investigation!
Background
The Fisticuff Faction owned by Lou, a local nobody is running a martial arts fighting arena in the ork underground. The club has been receiving threats for weeks related to an upcoming tournament and the backers are getting scared. They are hiring some runners to investigate behind Lou's back.
The Meet
The team woke up early and prepared for a matrix meet located at a bar in Snohomish. Blake decided to arrive via the matrix, while Akari and Denarii arrived in person, to join the meet in AR.
The J described the situation. A group of investors have hired him to find a team capable of investing possible threats against their tournament. The club owner Lou didn't seem very concerned by the threats and didn't feel the need to investigate them himself. The investors seemed a bit suspicious of this attitude and want the owner investigated as well. If the threats are deemed credible the team should neutralize that threat. All of this to be performed as discreetly as possible. To that end they have arranged for one of the team to enter the competition. This will provide the team access to the event and some of the lower floors of the club.
The J offers the team 10kY for their trouble, in addition the tournament purse of 60kY is theirs should they be able to win it. Denarii attempted to negotiate for a larger fee and succeeded in getting an additonal 2000Y.
The Plan
Akari would enter the tournament under the name "The Oni". Meanwhile Blake and Denarii would handle the investigation. The tournament was a week out.
Akari contacted her sensei and began a training montage while the rest of the team started the investigation.
Blake immediately began investigating the tournament and the competition. He discovered that there were three major competitors in the tournament besides Akari. The Blazing Bull, The Wolf of Pike Street, and Jean-Claude Van Ramme.
A more detailed investigation of each fighter provided some opportunities to exploit weaknesses in each fighter. Blake provided this info to Akari who promptly refused to take advantage, instead preferring to fight then on even ground.
Blake also investigated the club owner. He was a criminal for sure, low key protection rackets and the like. He also works with his son, a creepy looking guy with a large record, assaults theft ECT. The son works for the club as the stage manager. The owner performs most of his business on an offline terminal in his office.
With this info in hand the team decided to do some in person scouting prior to the event.
