Summary
After a blast a few piers away during the events of Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let Down Your Bear, a ship belonging to the Knights Hospitaller has ended up stuck in port, caught in the middle of a tense standoff between the Vory owners, the Yakuza who want the dock for themselves, and a group of dockworkers. Runners are called in by Angélica Cabral to get the ship out of port.
Background
The Vory have control of some sections of the Tacoma docks, and the Yakuza covet them. When a hotheaded Yakuza lieutenant named Fumo has laid siege to a Vory dock, leaning on their contacts in Knight Errant to keep the cops out of the way - but it's taking too long and he's under pressure to break the siege without losing face.
On the other side, the Vory have nobody of hugely significant talent or leadership skill at home. Fyodor Karamazov is nominally in charge - but there's a smooth talker named Ivan Samovich who's well connected in the ranks as well.
The workers have gathered behind the Head Tugboat Captain - who's co-opting the docks' normal security to annoy the Vory into giving them concessions.
All the while, a mixture of food and medical aid sits on a ship, in danger of going bad before they can be shipped to those who need them most.
The Meet
The meet's in a cafe on the southern end of the Downtown district - where a SURGEd woman is waiting for the team. It's quickly explained that they were chosen for their nonviolent reputations, and for their ability to navigate situations without causing undue suffering. Briefly, the political situation is explained - and the Johnson lays out their request.
Get their people out. That's what they care about most - 10,000 for that, at a minimum. Getting the supplies out is worth another 4k, and doing so while not stamping on either faction's toes - that's worth 2k more. Priorities set out, the team is set free to do their research.
