Summary
The team is hired by an online J (secretly a Renraku exec) to retrieve a child who was believed to be joining the Halloweeners, with parents worried it's a relatively small time frame before something bad happens. The kid goes to a downtown high school, and was scouted by a couple low ranking 'weeners as a possible in to a small corporate building her father worked at. The runners were given commcodes and parental access to go retrieve the child before they ended up in trouble. They slow rolled downtown through the weakest checkpoint possible, and found a few halloweeners and a few high school kids on a dark street. A quick combination of illusions, mind control and hacking spooked he halloweenrs, sent the kid running into the arms of the runners and a quick and easy delivery.
Background
An overly sheltered Son- Tanji Takehiko has a fixation on 5th world horror movies and the Halloweeners promised him they had a stash of old horror films that members could access, and they would patch him in after giving him access to a corporate property. His dad found a 'Weeners jacket under his bed and called a fixer to put a team together for a quick under the table job.
The Meet
Psyche arrived with 5 stun due to a botched downtime binding, so it was good The meet was done online in a virtual only text space. The J clearly wanted as little contact as possible and was forthcoming with enough information to easily find the kids commlink when given commcodes and access to look it up via a deep matrix dive. Everything looked legit so the team took the job.
The Plan
The team would roll up to the relatively quiet downtown block where they tracked the commlink to, and drove casual into a parking space near the gang with Stryker hanging back loaded with stick and shock in classic van sam (and happy to be the backup plan, confirmed by all!) fashion.
The target would be mind controlled and illusions of the target staying in place as well as invisibility would keep the kid walking.
