Summary
Where the team of matrix specialists are brought together to collect some incriminating data from Horizon for the A.I. Rachel to allow her to blackmail the Corp into shutting down the Hotel California Host where she was created.
Background
The Hotel California, a Host provided by Horizon for it's company members as a place for rest, relaxation and recuperation. However, the Corp secretly uses mind probing techniques to test the loyalty of it's employees, and as the song goes, those who are found guilty never leave. There is also another secret buried within the Foundation of this Host; a xenosapient creature capable of creating A.I.'s, and responsible for the creation of Rachel, an A.I. entity that escaped the foundation with the help of Ca1lyps0 and Master Morty on a previous run. Now Rachel seeks to destroy the Host and it's Foundation, and hopefully the xenosapient along with it.
The Meet
Invited to a private Host by M-07, a member of the Walking People and friend of Rachel, the team makes contact within the Matrix. The Walking People are true survivors, having survived both the first and second crash, and doing their best to survive the inevitable third. Accompanying him is Rachel, a two dimensional black hole hanging fixed in space, an A.I. of indeterminate power and intent. Rachel explains that she needs the team to find a way to track sensitive data that is can be used to blackmail Horizon into doing what she wants; namely shutting down the Hotel California Host. Ca1yps0 is at first concerned about who is doing the actual blackmailing, as she has many direct ties to Horizon that she does not wish to be burned. Rachel explains that she will handle that herself as necessary, and disappears abruptly, only to return moments later to reveal that Horizon is currently moving information of sufficient sensitivity to be worth her time, however the runners must move on this opportunity immediately if they wish to take advantage of it. The team decides to pursue the lead, and hops directly into the Horizon Grid to begin chasing the data trail.
