Summary
A client calls together a team to steal a valuable painting.
Background
The Frye Art Museum in Seattle hosts an exhibit on aboriginal cultural artifacts and paintings called "The Quests of the Dreamers", including the "Sisters Dreaming" by Gabriella Possum Nugnurrayi. It is based upon the story "Napaljarri-warnu Jukurrpa," given to the museum by Anthony Ngiyari, a contentious figure among the aboriginals and activists for giving away these culturally significant pieces. Multiple interested parties are interested in acquiring the "Sisters Dreaming" painting, either to return to Australia and to the aboriginal people, or in the case of one particular client... motives unknown thus far. Four runners - Wayfarer, Miut, Kamillion, and Rogozhin - answer the call to steal and deliver the piece before anyone else does.
The Meet
Meeting at a cafe called the "Waterlily", the four head inside to note that it is completely empty except for one woman - the client - in the middle of the room. The rest of the room appears as though all who were there got up and left in the middle of whatever it was they were doing. Full drinks, half-eaten food, turned aside chairs, and more set the scene. Added onto this, the woman appeared to have an unearthly and captivating presence. She greets them, inviting them to take seat, and in soon enough time they do. The client snaps her finger, summoning a middle-aged man who takes their orders before shuffling to the back. While waiting for the food, there is discussion which leads to Miut accepting a deal with the Johnson to eat sand for five thousand nuyen. After the group is done eating, and Miut is given a datachip for five thousand nuyen for upholding her end of the deal, the group begins to get briefed on the details of the heist. Unfortunately, the Johnson has relatively little information to give other than the very bare-bones explanation. The Frye Art Museum holds the painting, the group has a two week period to operate, and thatthere are potentially other groups looking to perform a heist of their own. Kamillion attempts to negotiate higher rewards, making a deal with the client that if the group does this squeaky clean, then they would get to choose either receiving two thousand more nuyen, or a secret of relevance. With that, it is up to the group to investigate into the museum and make a plan to get in.
