Summary
In which four runners are hired by Saint Nick to steal pastries from Saul Goodman.
Background
On a previous run, Saint Nick became addicted to pastries made by Saul Goodman. However, Saul's pastries were all purchased for the next four days for an upcoming conference. Santa can't wait that long...
The Meet
Saint Nick asks for pastries from Saul Goodman's The Underground Bakery. He's really going through withdrawal, needing that fix soon. He offers the runners each 12k nuyen or double that in KRIME gear (in addition to some of the pastries).
The Plan
Samsara calls Anything Andy for help robbing Saul. He tells her that he's buddies with Saul and doesn't wanna help rob him. He doesn't want to be in this pickle, between Warboss, Saint Nick, and Saul Goodman. Samsara talks him into giving her the route through the Ork Underground to get to The Underground Bakery. Then he takes laes. Then she calls Ghaz for a truck, who rents her one.
Samsara notices a toxic spirit following Cold Hands and engages it! This causes a fight with four toxic spirits. After disrupting them, Cold Hands heads out to Glow City to get rid of The Doll's Tears, which she found in her apartment earlier in the run. A nuclear spirit attacks her, though she disrupts it. As she leaves, an emaciated figure can be seen rummaging through the rubble she left the cursed doll in.
After Cold Hands rejoins the group, Oathbane applies first aid to her. By this time, Oathbane's matrix search ends. She discovers that Saul Goodman likely lives beneath the bakery in the OU, and she gets the layout of the bakery. Skimmer wears his Elf outfit and the team passes out KRIME gear to people in the OU after they get passage from Warboss. Skimmer gets called a 'Keeb' a lot, though, as he passes out lots of guns. 'Santa's little helper'.
Eventually the team makes it to the gentrified section of the OU, run by Renraku, underneath Downtown. Skimmer does a Christmas performance and Samsara drives the other truck preternaturally stealthy. Skimmer is approached by Renraku security forces who wants to know if he has a license for this. He... tries to talk his way out of this. He gets hassled A LOT along with Ty Vallynn by the cops (who help themselves to lots of guns).
Meanwhile, Samsara, Oathbane, and Cold Hands are making their way through a section of the gentrified OU. Oathbane is able to narrow down the buildings that could lead up to The Underground Bakery to four. Samsara wall-runs up to try to get to the top of a building, and can smell a bit of pastry. Someone opens a window nearby and tries to knock the 'critter' away that's making noise. She runs a bit further away, and Cold Hands throws up their helmet with olfactory sensors on it for Oathbane to smell through. She is able to find the source of the baked goods. Skimmer and Ty Vallynn continue their distraction.
The Run
Oathbane hacks Saul Goodman's lock, and [{Samsara]] and Cold Hands enter. Saul Goodman hears them coming, but is unable to fend off the two nerve-strikers. They steal all the pastries he's baked so far this morning, then escape. However, Samsara drops a small hint about Saint Nick being involved before they escape.
Cold Hands can visit Weirdboi on the way out of the OU.
Aftermath
Saul Goodman realizes that Saint Nick was involved and CUTS HIM OFF OF PASTRIES.
