Summary
The Crew is sent to rescue a hacker in distress, with the ultimate aim for her to be another hacker to strike back against the corpos!
Background
Gamestar and AA Game Development Company is being bought out by Horizon, after some games that did not match predictive analytics for what "modern Gamers" want to play, causing its Stock to Crash. That in combined with the litany of lawsuits against it from other companies with nefarious intentions, has caused the Merger.
Most of the developers and middle managers are the same corporate rat racers that would go perfectly in Horizon's work-culture: save for one, A developer with the skills and the mentality to potentially become a hacker. Himiko Ryudai, ace decker and now Haven Contact, has picked up this developer: code-named 'Denki' and is now trying to get her out.
The Meet
Himiko Ryudai meets the runners in a yakitori shop in Downtown. With the benefits of high-society secret meetings, she lays down the job details: She wants a Gamestar developer, code named "Denki" removed from their premises before she's rolled up and shipped to Horizon, and the security goes from AA to AAA.
Stacy does however ask for more money, which causes Himiko to smile and bring up the second point
Himiko stresses the need for the runners to go at this in a way that does not cause too much distress or emotional damage to Denki, in ways such as, but not limited, to wanton destruction and random firefights. The crew tries to judge intentions, and Stacy gets a hint, but the reason is not pursued. Given the extra difficulty, she is more than happy to provide more money as well as open her connections for electronics, drones, and the like.
