Summary
An unfortunate night just after Christmas puts a group of runners off of a milk run and in a bind. One that leaves them without much holiday spirit, frankly.
Background
Carolina Petrovski is quite the interesting character in politics. Without getting too much into...yikes, she's been pushing for other metahumans in the workspace if they...reduced their visibility. Just a way to maintain looks, but...wow that's a lot. Now this, of course, sets off a lot of groups whom view this as pretty institutionalized metaracism and want to act against it. Some more extremely than others.
Hence, the Sons of Sauron wanted to send a message. Get some of their own members out, put pressure on the companies taking part of this endeavor, and show the world that forcing obedience and compliance with what metaracists believe humanity should be.
Now, unfortunately, their plan was to do this by holding a stock trading company's christmas party hostage while a group of shadowrunners were around, but that's just kind of the unfortunate scenario the best laid plans may come up against.
Speaking of...
The Meet
Debbie Green, a nice ork office lady, had just gotten her bags delivered at the party by Limitless, Samael, Perdix, and Alfa as the party was in its early stages. She needed her things carried for her stay in Seattle, but since she didn't know if she'd stay in one of the buildings floors or nearby she'd have the runners just...stay up on the top entertainment floor and not at the party. Limitless rushed up out of the party, Alfa and Samael politely excused themselves, Perdix took a catnap, things were fine. At the end of this easy night? 2k for doin' basically nothing. That's a solid, if boring as sin gig.
And then they heard the PA system go off and shots fired downstairs. Seems someone wanted to take over the building.
Dammit.
The Plan
There is no plan here - the team was almost entirely in the dark, on the defensive and reactive, and just trying to ensure that a majority of the hostages didn't die. This would lead to issues in the big picture but...well, no one was ready for a showdown on metaracist politics involving incredible violence that day, really.
