Summary
Cassandra Withers, representing the UCAS FBI, wants some Runners to investigate some strange disappearances. Runners are going missing more than normal, and she suspects foul play.
The Meet
It’s just a normal Seattle day, and several Runners are sent messages offering work. There is a meeting in a rentable office space downtown at 3 PM. The building appears to be owned by Carmen Holdings, a shell company within a shell company. They respond, showing up to the meeting. The group consists of Babylon, Skimmer, Crazy Hoof, Spider, and Katherine Tyler. They all make it without incident. Almost. Hoof just about causes an incident by his mere presence, but they all made it to the room. Friendly hello’s were exchanged, and new introductions made. Mostly for Hoof, who Kate and Babylon had never formally met.
After some time talking, followed by silence, they all end up standing around looking at each other kind of confused. Then the TV flips on. On it is a very controversial figure, Cassandra Withers. Babylon immediately launches into a tirade. Off to a good start it seems.
Cassandra explains that they have had an issue with a mysterious force kidnapping Runners. Pretty solid Runners. Normally this isn’t a big deal but the frequency that it has been happening is slightly concerning. The UCAS FBI wants answers, but they know that Runners, or “deniable assets” can go places that even they can’t. Plus if the FBI starts asking around about Runners, they would meet stiff resistance. They want information but if the team can get more substantial evidence and intel about what is going on they would be willing to provide a bigger reward.
The group appears highly advanced and mobile. They leave no electronic trail, and are in and out quickly. The Runners immediately suspect heavy hitters, up to and including the Big 10.
Babylon continues to sass Cassandra though the whole briefing. Cassandra gives it right back. The group is given a dossier on several of the missing runners to help start their search. Soon the question of compensation is brought up. The runners, minus Babylon, ask for cash. God knows the FBI has it hand over fist. But Babylon asks for something more personal. She wants Cassandra to use her contacts to maybe make some of her criminal history go away. Cassandra promises that if the job is done to her expectations, she will see what she can do. There is some negotiation for more money, but Cassandra isn’t having it.
