Summary
Background
The Meet
The team arrives to bargain with Carleton Moreau at the Zephyr-South Multi-Use building in order to work out a deal with the team. Once the team arrives, he starts explaining the situation. He needs the team to travel to Craggelaiche in order to drive the silver spike into the ground at the last spike memorial. However, he informs the team that he'll need them to scope out their competition at the nearby model train convention. Furthermore, there's been an additional complication. There's an ongoing wargame in the area which means that the airspace is restricted. Carleton offers to provide fake visas to the team in order to facilitate travel into the area. Some additional negotiations are finished with him offering the knowledge that a wild spirit that has been awoken can be asked for a R3 spirit marker in compensation for the act as well as offering to provide goods from Neural Net BioLogix as a potential replacement for hard nuyen.
The Plan
The team decides to split up with Ryuuji and Funk taking the team's contraband into the SSC via a blimp. Meanwhile, Trades will travel via land in her Armadillo in order to ensure that the team will have ground transportation while they're on-site. The zeppelin team manages to make their way past the security and makes it to the destination in about a day. Trades manages to pass through the SSC border without being harassed. During their trip over Funk and Trades begin performing a few matrix searches in order to gather some initial data. On her way to Last Spike Lodging, Trades is stopped by a tribal police car who just checks in to make sure that she knows where she's going. One of the officers was hoping to introduce themselves to her, so she exchanges her program carrier commlink's number with him in case they might have information about the wargame's scheduling. A little bit before Trades arrives, the team detects some Haida speakers from cabin 1 discussing taking pictures of the environment of the surrounding area. When Trades arrives at the Last Spike Lodging where the team is waiting, the police go into the main building while her team is at the third cabin.
The team heads into the camp store where they socialize with the cops for awhile. They're able to learn that both sides of the wargame are spending their off time heckling each other at the last spike memorial. Furthermore, the conflict is limited to the hours between 9 to 5. During the off-hours, the different sides generally remain separated, but do head into the nearby towns in order to find activities to keep themselves busy during the downtime. In addition, the resident of cabin 2 enters the camp store. They're flying the SIN for a "Geraldine Kim." Funk does some basic research on the different leaders of the model train club and discovers that Geraldine Kim is a 72 year old wheel chair bound woman. Trades and Funk begin poking the mystery woman's commlink to dig into their message history. It turns out that the woman has been in contact with the 3 people from cabin 1. They've planned something at the memorial tomorrow night.
