Summary

Background
During the events of the first run in this arc, Elias Zenthra began to move up in the world after 'his' team of Shadowrunners eliminated the Brat'mal terrorist threat. Now, as the political waters get deeper, he finds himself in far deeper and far hotter waters than he might have expected. As his intelligence reports grow, he finds that he might be able to strike down the Rinelle te'Kesrae movement in Cara'sir once and for all....
The Meet
- After a call from her fixer, Paz contacts Elias about a wetwork job with a note about "Not Peace". After an angry phone call to her brother, the team agrees to the job - 40,000 to handle a wetwork concern - Elias has a lead on one of the leaders of the Rinelle ke'Tesrae.
- Paz makes the various calls to the GirlFailure group and the team begins to head to Cara'sir
- During the crossing, Quinn's boat gets searched and the Black Banner finds the smuggling compartment with 2,000 worth of Novacoke. Quinn manages to not get arrested since Elias tipped her off that Paz and company were coming through.
- After finding an airfield to park the house-boat-plane, the team makes their way to the Zenthra manor
- The meeting with Elias goes well, discussing how the Rinelle want to overthrow the Council of Princes and the Star Chamber - though the fact that they want to do away with the authoritarian Council is a grey area for Ribbon and some of the others.
- The target is Eliana Silverhair, a matronly leader of the Rinelle.
The Legwork
Matrix
- Rinelle Ke'Tesrae and Eliana
- A number of places where they’ve done charity work in underprivileged areas, etc- none of which is on the news of course
- Protests against the Council
- Monkeywrenching of mechanisms of government, etc
- “Friend of the Family” passcode to be let to a safehouse
- TH 6: This information is not false, per se, but carefully curated
- Vague references to a Safehouse in Fairview
- Eliana Silverhair
- Seen at places where the Tir Ghosts are breaking up “family” gatherings - revoking the privilege to assemble
- Infringement of free speech where the Rinelle movement has been speaking out about the lack of success of the star chamber
- Marcus Fade
- Associated with Eliana
- Eliana's Matrix Nerd - absolutely the reason why the matrix presence of everything is so 'curated'
Intel
- Tir Nobility:
- The Star Chamber cannot just shut down the Rinelle because doing so would just prove them right so there has to be a balance between not letting them cause too much chaos.
- Shadow Community:
- Ribbon's rep means that if this is a trap, they're going to gear up for a Prime Runner.
The Run
Obsidian Disguise: 13
Day 1
- Dinner with the Zenthra's goes more or less about as poorly as expected, with Ashelander learning that the team is working for Elias
- They learn that Ashelander knows they're doing shadow work for Elias and that Verna used to be 'better', but things within the Tir have gone progressively south over the last few decades.
- Ashelander sniffs out that Obsidian is a former/current Paladin of the Order of the Knights of Beauty
- During matrix searches on Eliana and her companions, they attracted the attention of Marcus Fade, Eliana's right hand Decker, who plays matrix chicken with Quinn, scaring her off the Matrix, and then chatting with Ribbon, arranging a meeting during day 2.
- The team plans to set up sniper covers for the safehouse location meeting and to send in the Alt drone with Obsidian more or less piloting her for the meet as well as Ribbon.
- They scrub the data tying them to Elias in case Fade hacks them during the meeting.
- On the way out, Paz runs into an Elven woman named Marina leaving at the early, early, hours of dawn.
- Obsidian manages to use a task spirit to locate Eliana at the Grove outside of Fairview beyond the Portland Wall.
- Quinn does a number of preps:
- Paz contacts Elias to acquire some ECM for the boat
- The Plans
- Attending the meeting with sniper coverage and drone faces.
- Potentially use the house boat to Sniper From Above the target
- Potentially catch Eliana Silverhair on the road into the city
- Obsidian reminds everyone of an alternative
Day 2
- The Meeting at the Safehouse
- The team meets Marcus Fade at the safehouse and discusses the situation at present
- Marcus is not too broken up about the death of the Brat'mal faction, but is pretty eager to not have the team murder anyone else.
- Marcus and Ribbon share some general ideas on being generally antimonrchy
- Marcus absolutely thinks they're present to kill someone, but doesn't know who. Ribbon and co learn a bit more about the grievances of the Rinelle against the Tir Government.
- They contact Elias trying to work out a way to convince Marcus they mean to play ball in order to set up an assassination
- They manage to convince Marcus and, by extension, Eliana to meet on Government Island the day after at 4pm, which is outside the Tir, by Obsdian coming in masquerading as an aid to Count Connell, a Tir Count who owes Elias a fa
