Summary
The runners are hired to acquire an exciting new ingredient for the Underground Bakery.
Background
Saul Goodman, premiere pastry chef for the Underground Bakery, is always on the look for new and exciting ingredients for his high class bakery needs. Special ingredients are a must, and Saul has his eye on a new item to tantalize the taste buds of his loyal customers. All he needs is a canny crew to collect it for him.
The Meet
The shadow runner crew is told to meet at the Underground Bakery, late in the evening. Arriving roughly on time Orchid, Bland and Crane wait for the remaining two members, Cricket and Sanjuro, as they are either uninterested in being on time in Cricket's case, or riding a simple bicycle, such as Sanjuro. Entering the shop, the team are greeted by Saul, as he breaks out a pan of his specialty danishes, offering them to all. Everyone but Bland tries them, who begs off, complaining about an ever expanding waistline. Once the runners are done appreciating his talents, Saul explains his needs. Namely, cheese. But not just any cheese; a new, fabulous creation: Fluorescent Astral Bacteria cheese. Saul explains that he has received word of this fabulous new food being created at the University of Washington. He asks that the runners retrieve this delicacy and bring it to him for his culinary exploits. He offers to pay 16k for the job, but Bland and Orchid manage to convince him to pay 18k, as they are all professional runners. Accepting the job, the team heads out to plan their attack.
The Plan
Heading to Cricket's apartment, the team wait as Cricket dives into the Matrix to collect any information they can find to aid the mission. Weaving through the outer Destination Host, Cricket finds the files that point to cheesy research, copying them and getting out, barely avoiding being spiked to death in the process. Sharing the information gained, the team learns that the cheese is being developed in a lab in the Hermetic Sciences building. Realizing that the campus does not allow guns in the buildings, Bland suggests that Sanjuro wait outside, carrying the weapons of the others just in case things go south. Donning disguises to fit their roles as a professor and his students from a small town community college, the team heads out to collect the cheese.
