Summary
Bunny Hop's father, Takashi Kurosawa, is calling in the favor that BHop owes him. The rabbit is tasked with getting ahold of blackmail information from the interior of Takashi Yamada's home during one of the latter's networking parties. BHop is given the task alongside Kadō to get ahold of the information without so much as hinting that there's been a break-in at all.
Background
Yamada hosts routine parties in the Lakewood Center area of Tacoma. Every month, various affiliates of the clan are gathered - some runners, but mostly close friends or favored lieutenants of the fixer. Multiple corporate assets are also in attendance - Johnsons, mostly, arranging favors with the local clans. While security at these parties is light, there are a large number of wildcards in attendance at all these parties and it's difficult to predict precisely what sort of OpFor will be in attendance.
Others in the clans see opportunity - a prominent lawyer, Kakei Steve, is interested in the aftermath of whatever's going on. And, of course, he's interested in getting the information for the clan he's loyal to - thus the teamup with Kurosawa.
The Meet
An emissary from the Finns comes to Nearl's office, with a simple request: Find Jimmy G, figure out what he's up to, and report back.
The Plan
Nearl enters Jimmy's neighborhood, checking it over - and quickly finding that there are odd groupings of animals around the area. She promptly determines that she needs to get a bit of matrix support.
Bunny Hop is called in to help out - performing searches to find more out about Jimmy G's activities. She then determines that there's a rigger controlling animals - a bit of hacking is able to narrow down a location for the rigger.
Nearl ambushes the rigger's van, and is able to extract information from the man. A short talk with Vice Vecce later, and they're sure that Jimmy G made his own play. A spirit is sent out to Search him out.
The Run
Knowing that they're raiding a Cutter safehouse, Nearl calls up Marrisa and the pair roll up - spotting out a force 10 spirit floating around outside.
Marrisa strolls right up to the door, drawing her sword and SMG and shooting into the goons. Nearl and her spirit squad come flying in, tearing the fire spirit above the house apart.
Descending in, another spirit is called by the panicking Cutters mage, and quickly the group is wrapped up.
Aftermath
Jimmy G was determined to be a traitor to the family. And given that, he's disposed of.
