Summary
Due to mounting tensions and increased activity in Renton, the Mafia send out a team of Runners to check in on what's happening. What they find is deeply concerning.
Background
Francesca Giordano, member of the Ciaronello family and operating out of Everett, received some rather worrying reports about the uptick in Yakuza activity -activity with much greater firepower and 'ware notably- over in Renton. While her normal sphere of influence resides in Everett, she understands that things are spread thin and that assistance in reconnaissance would be vital in ensuring that the families don't lose control over the area, and that while she works on the situation in Everett she can at least spare the funds to send a more...expendable group to investigate.
Still somewhat sore from her prior interactions with the prolific network before...she decides upon the Shadowhaven as her avenue for information.
The Meet
Black Sabbath, the Goddess of Victory, Firewill, Samael, and Shugi were all called to her mansion by their fixers for some kind of intel job. Ms. Giordano was rather cagey about giving out exact details (partially to keep her informed advantage, partially because she had the distinct impression some present would be unwilling to work with a syndicate member) but did inform them of their task:
The runners were to investigate a particular site that Ms. Giordano suspected (according to other reports from the family in Renton) was part of the uptick in supplies and general increase in equipment quality. The team had a simple objective: Find out who was in charge of that facility, what they were sending out, and whom/where whatever it was they were sending it was going. For their information, she would give them 10k a piece. If they managed to procure some of the product for her own measures, there would be a bit of extra cash (about 4k a head) for it. Despite the team generally realizing who they were working for, they agreed to the terms.
