Summary
Background
As Hank and Beatrice get the cyberzombie Alison settled into her new home, they contract some runners to dig into a site they've learned of that might have ties to the cult that is tracking them. Ideally, they want it cleared out - putting a bit of offense downrange towards the cult since they now have a stable safehouse to hide and plan from.
The Meet
The duo of runners meet Hank and Beatrice at a No-Tell motel in Puayllup in order to discuss their desire that the team clear out an old abandoned hospital that they think has ties to the people chasing them. They explain how the site is likely being used as some kind of experimental cyberware project, though they are particularly light on details regarding the extent of those experiments. The reason they suspect this area is do the very peculiar and disgusting background count of the area which matches prior experimentation sites.
They offer 10K nuyen for each of the runners to go in and clear the place out, despite Nez's valiant attempts to negotiate.
The Plan
The Run
Legwork
- 8ball does some matrix searching and reveals that it is a former small town medical clinic, subsidized by EVO, with that's been out of commission for years. There's a lot of matrix chatter from local folks to avoid it, occasional missing persons, usually kids, going missing. Place is generally wrecked.
- Nez sends one of her birds to do a visual scouting, revealing the wrecked place and a sewer access grate that is wrecked but accessible.
- Saint does a physical scouting run and manages to spot one of the hidden cameras with a bug scanner on wireless - though in doing so, her own device gets spotted by the opfor, unknown to her.
- Saint calls 8Ball back and pays him to provide some matrix defense and slaves their devices to his Renraku Tsurugi. A5, S 5, D3, F6
- Nez sends in the rats to scout the main room they have access to, learning it is pitch black, there is the sound of electricity and an electric door, as well as the sounds and smells of people somewhere inside the site.
- 8ball explains there is an offline host and refuses to run the host for the pittance that Saint is paying him.
Running the Mousetrap
- The duo make their way into the front room only for a security door to slam shut behind them, trapping them inside the mousetrap.
- They bandy some words with a voice over a speaker who begins screwing with their online gear, making Saint hallucinate and triggering screams from their commlink.
- The two runners share some brief words with The Doctor, the person running the facility and agree to 'play their part' in helping the Doctor run the trials on their current batch of 'weapon's platforms'.
- What follows is a series of three brawls where Saint and Nez tear through waves of PTT "zombies"; the last one done up in a full runner kit which almost manages to kill Saint.
