Summary

The team get caught up in a death game and somehow come out without scars. They face pain and consequence for their actions, but ultimately they come across the path of a god and are unscathed. Red Ribbon finds a friend in the crowd, Blackhawk meets a worthy apponent, and Shredder Shreds what she Shreds Shrest.

Background

The Vory have made a deal with a one Jon Constance, who through his incompetence, lost a shipment of drugs he was supposed to push. With the need for money growing, and the looming threat of death ever present, they call on runners to save them.

The Meet

The team meet the J at the Helldiver, a bar in Puyallup. With the J on the frits, the team dig into what's going on. Turns out, the J had made a deal with the Vory syndicate to have medical supplies delivered to the clinic he works at, and in return he would repay the vory after the supplies had been sold. The only caveat; the supplies never made it to him and the Vory still expected him to cough up the 100 large for the supplies. So, the runners have a call to make to the Vory syndicate to figure out how to erase a 100K debt.

The Plan

The plan is straightforward. Legwork into figuring out how to deal with this guy. Matrix searches and area knowledge provide info that Deadhead primarily hangs out at his Underground bar called the Stairway to Heaven which he uses as a party club and a place for people to "party to death". It also seems like he plays some pretty nefarious game called "Shotgun Roulette" In which you play Russian roulette with a fully loaded shotgun. The team, with this info, plan to drop into the top of the Stairway to Heaven and make their way down so as to not alert suspicion to themselves.

The Run

The team hit the streets and Red Ribbon leaves her car in the Ork Underground. The runners are dropped off up top so that Ribbon can act as an escape vehicle should things go south. Once inside, the runner team get drinks and start to search for the Vory menace, Yurij Petrov aka Deadhead. Shredder feels the urge and grind downstairs, from the Preamble to the Spine, down to the Skull sections of the Bar. Clearing it with the bouncers, Shredder starts to shred her way through the spin. Making her way to the bottom, she's greeted by a crowd going WILD for her, as the partygoers feel like she is the queen of the party. Red Ribbon and Blackhawk use this as an excuse to gain extra info.

Ribbon spots a familiar face in the crowd, turns out to be Jeannie Stilray, someone whos picture she saw on the net during a matrix dive the day prior. The crowd ebbs and flows to the harsh beats of the underground music, but both Jeannie and Red see eachother, like sharks
