Summary

Background
Rose of Sharon Howlett is assembling a team to pursue a lucrative opportunity, and called the runners to The Stage Door Deli in downtown.
The Meet
The team trickles into the meet. Trauma is the first to arrive and order a club sandwich. Thunder follows them in and orders a large beer. Rose offers a job to take revenge for a man dying of cancer on the Disassemblers who kidnapped and dismembered his wife and daughter. She also offers them Trauma enthusiastically agrees and the rest of the team follows suit. They manage to negotiate to receive the Wendigo's pelt, which would be worth 5000-10000 nuyen.
The Plan
The team return's to Thunder's home in order to have Maryann Clay perform some fortune telling for the team. Thunder and Trauma see visions of the Disassemblers, a man butchering a body, a mysterious catacomb, and a fiery spirit. Trades hands her a silver credstick to symbolize the exchanging of silver between her and Maryann, and she sees a vision of a scarred man purchasing something from a butcher's shop in Tacoma. Trauma and Thunder summon a spirit of man to begin searching for some of the Disassemblers. It quickly finds "Bruno," "Hummer," and "Slice." Trades hacks the butcher shop's camera and terminal and discovers that Thomas Harrison will be picking up a delivery of either lamb or long pork in two days. Thunder arrives at the Big Rhino only to discover that 'Chef' has already left the premises. Trades quickly snoops and traces the commlinks that are in the apartment building and learns that they're meeting at the normal place at their normal time. Trades is able to download a knowsoft about potential smuggler's routes into the ork underground. Thunder books a room for the team the Sheraton Tacoma in order to take advantage of the secret entrance there into the ork underground.
The Run
On the way to the expected meeting point, the team runs into a human wandering the tunnels on their own. Trades disables their shotgun, and Trauma calls out to alert them that the team is passing them by. The man panics and flees before Trades shoots him twice with gel rounds knocking him out. The team checks his commlink and discovers that he is Clunk one of the Tamanous who they are looking for and that he was on his way to the meet that the team is crashing. The team executes him for working with the Disassemblers before proceeding onto the meet. Trades sets up a shot on the rat shaman while Trauma suppresses the enemies and lands a hit on Hummer. Thunder knocks out Sharps, and Trades finishes of Hummer. Thunder moves in and finishes off Bruno. Trauma executes the remaining disassemblers and the team grabs some photos. Trades hacks their commlinks and determines that they've been doing organ legging for the past 2 years. Unfortunately, it turns out that chef wasn't a wendigo.
