Summary

The runners were hired by Sawbones, a doctor at a poor clinic in the Barrens. Someone had stolen his ware. The team investigated and discovered it was the Brotherhood of Iron. They made contact with the Brotherhood and learned the ware (and several Brotherhood members) had been taken by a rival gang - the 162s. Ghoul kidnappers who capture people with ware, and steal it right from their bodies.

They rescued the kidnapped Brotherhood members, and recovered considerably more ware than had been taken from the Redmond clinic.

Background

The Brotherhood of Iron are a group of cyber singularity seekers. They are almost all FLR. Their leader is Consta. They have an apartment building stronghold in Kingsgate.

The 162s are a gang of ghouls who have been kidnapping people in Redmond in order to harvest their cyber. They work with the Tamanous gang, who are organ leggers.

The Meet

Sawbones explained that the theft had happened the night prior. He showed them the room that the ware had been stolen from. There was a padlock that had been cut and a maglock that had been picked.

Moth negotiated, with help from Ironclad for a bit more nuyen, and an agreement to help them with any ware they might want to purchase with that money.

The Plan

Ironclad, Moth, and Relay studied the scene of the crime and found a few oily footprints. Beuford "Saint' Mcgill and Moth were able to track the footprints, and Relay and Moth studied the camera footage. In summary, they observed three men with FLR, often greyware. The van had a gang logo. Moth recognized that it was the Brotherhood of Iron.

Ironclad was particularly interested in their quest for cyber singularity, and could easily pass for one of them. A plan began to form that he could make contact with them.

With more research, and a call to Relay's contact Dr. Henry Wallace, they learned that the Brotherhood's leader was Consta. Wallace offered to introduce the team to the Brotherhood, so long as their goal was to help them.

The Run

They arrived in Kingsgate. With Relay's flyspy scouting ahead, they learned that someone was harrassing a junior member of the Brotherhood over another ware theft. Ironclad headed up and rescued the junior member (Shawn) by intimidating the yelling man with Clad's special brand of threatening banter. Shawn appreciated the help, and took Ironclad inside to meet Consta.

Ironclad learned that the Brotherhood had recently been robbed! Another gang - a group of ghoul kidnappers had stolen much of the ware that they had acquired, and kidnapped at least one of their members. They took at least one of his limbs.

Saint recognized who the ghouls were. The 162s. Moth knew from that information where their territory was in the Barrens. They could help the Brotherhood, returning their missing member and his cyber, and potentially recover the doctor's cyber in the process.
