Summary
Mistah Jay hires Captain Boomerang, Fintan, Itztli, and Doris to investigate a steadily increasing magical background count encroaching on his gang's turf.
Background
Andres Guillermo Gutierrez, an Aztechnology middle manager, suspected blood mage, and serial killer preying on Jay's people, had been captured by Haven runners and handed over to Mistah Jay for interrogation. Based on what they had managed to learn from him and the feeling of creeping despair in his people, Mistah Jay assumed that Andres had more associates still loose in the Redmond Barrens. He had assumed that their base was somewhere near one of the Stuffer Shacks that Andres managed to the Southeast of the gang's turf.
The Meet
The team is directed to meet Mistah Jay at his gang's primary compound, where Charity Horace greets them with freshly baked cinnamon rolls. Mistah Jay explains what they've learned from Andres' interrogation: that there were more blood mages in Seattle, Andres' had asked to transfer from LA to Seattle, and Andres has recently stopped acting like himself. He informs the runner team that while they have not been able to locate the mages' base of operations, it is most likely in a district immediately Southeast of his compound, close to where Itztli and the previous team captured Andres. Mistah Jay offers a total of 60,000 NuYen to the team in exchange for locating and capturing any more blood mages. The team agrees, and arranges to have Andres transported back to the compound along with his personal effects for further examination.
The Run
The entire team summons spirits for protection, except for Itztli, who already has a guardian spirit with her. Fintan and Doris project to the suspected area to search a wide area, while Boomerang and Itztli drive to the location where Andres was captured, a building immediately next to a Stuffer Shack. Fintan and Doris find a heavy, depressing background and few spirits willing to speak with them, and decide to meet with the other two to search for clues. Finding no suitable psychometry subjects, Doris hacks into the Stuffer Shack's host to pull down their security footage and finds a half-pyramid, triangular mark on the footage.
Aftermath
Orson Cordova and Andres Gutierrez are both captured and in the custody of Mistah Jay. The server racks are found to be fried, but are packed away in secure storage for possible future examination. Orson, Andres, and all evidence are shipped to a secure location away from the compound. The athame is presumably destroyed in an appropriate manner.
