Summary
A few runners get an invite to a fancy party. They drink, talk, and do a bit of spycraft. Also a bug dies.
Background
Needing a rather innocuous seeming bit of information for future goals, knowing that an opportunity to claim it will arise soon, an enigmatic J calls together a team of runners to worm their way into position.
The Meet
The three runners receive differing invitations to the meet. Wychking's companion, Adeptus was contacted by another spirit about a job, a request for Wychking to attend. Interrupting a ritual with Wychking's ally, Adeptus brute forced Wychking into accepting the meet. Babylon was left a mysterious envelope outside of a another's door. She was a bit unnerved at first, but learning it was the Fae actually seemed to make it a little bit better. They tend to like dramatic gestures. Waspkeeper just kind of stumbled into it in the normal way of jobs.
Heading back to the building prior run meetings were held at, a non-descript place in Bellevue, the team entered to find Treasa relaxing at a table, food arranged for the runners. She greeted each of the runners and their ally spirits, treating them all as equals, offering the weird magical fruit and bagels to the team.
As the J starts telling the team about the mission, about how she wants them to infiltrate a corporate party. Wychking tries to assense the J to see if she's a bug, getting weird vibes, but fails to find anything out of the ordinary. For posterity, Wychking was about to smackdown the test to get the real info, before we talked them out of it, Babylon having already assensed Treasa successfully in an earlier mission. Babylon communicated to the team the J was a fae spirit, an Elvar to be precise, advising respect and caution. Babylon though, knowing a bit more about the fae since her last encounter, acted a bit differently. When Treasa's barbed compliments started to flow, she responded with her own, gaining perhaps a bit of respect in the immortal's eye.
As the conversation continued, the team learned details about the mission. A corporate party hosted by Ares would be taking place soon, with guests from a variety of other corps and nations. Meant for building connections, working towards advancing business deals and other aims. In particular, one guest, Noelle Vargas, would have information that she needs. Attending the party to have a meeting with another guest, they would be discussing the confidential materials, which were kept printed in physical copies to avoid matrix tampering. This precaution, while annoying, proved to be wise, and now to steal this data, the runners need to obtain actual pictures of the documents.
Treasa said she could get the team members access to the party. They would need to come up with their own backstories and reasons for attending, but she could provide fake SINs if they passed over their biometric data.
