Summary
Jack's spirit formula is secured in preparation to destroy him once and for all.
Background
Due to his nature as a spirit, Pump King Jack is difficult to properly kill. Babylon's been trying to get close to him and earn his trust in order to get her hands on his spirit formula, but with little success. After some time, the Black Lodge took notice of a shadow spirit growing concerningly powerful and aided some runners in containing the threat. Mr. Herenight in particular has researched the matter considerably and prepared three alchemical lanterns filled with traces of Jack's astral signature, presumably to aid him zero in on the spirit formula. Babylon doesn't trust him, however, and has decided to find it behind his back.
The Meet
The runners are invited to a private Matrix room, since neither Herenight or Jack use the 'Trix and as a result it's secure from the greatest threats to this rogue operation.
