Summary
After struggling to find the answers to a case that her department deems unworthy of the Knight Errant's full attention and funds, Lt. Rebecca Montez hires out a team of runners to investigate further without much hope for their success but, at least, wanting to give it a shot.
They end up finding out that the unassuming pond leads to an ocean of secrets and danger.
Background
Starting on November 2nd of 2085, a series of gruesome murders in Downtown, Seattle began. Every 8 days, a university student from a particular friend group died. First it was Judith Schneider. Then it was Rosalyn Grovler. Then Ken Richmond. All killed by decapitation via monowire. The police are dumbfounded. Beyond some tenuous connections, there doesn't seem to be any sort of connective tissue. The case looks like it's going nowhere. Lt. Montez doesn't want things to end there, but funds for her department aren't exactly overflowing. But there is one stash she can tap into-an emergency sort of stash for paying off the less savory types of Seattle's finest. Perhaps they'd be able to find something that the detective couldn't. With that, she starts to make a few calls.
The Meet
The team meets up at a Soybucks at the Space Needle. The team is consists: Angel, the vampiric sniper angel; Devil, the social mage and support; Lady Argentum, the banshee knight with a good heart; Zero, the good ork soldier; and Garuda, hacker and former Ares changeling. The meet goes over the offer for the group, about six thousand nuyen if they get some new hint and up to ten thousand if they actually get the perp. Devil manages to sweeten the deal by letting the group access some of the "contraband" that KE have collected from over the years for...repurposing. With that, the team is given the main details that the police have gathered so far: times of death for each victim, the crime scenes, some loose details regarding the breaking and entering into two of the victims' homes. The team gets into action from there.
