Summary
The team was contracted by a Ork band who had been kicked from a high profile gig at Club Penumbra, and wanted it back.
Background
The ork band "Cyberware Manifesto" had a desire to spread the name of a lost friend through their music, in a hope it might help them find him. They had managed to get a gig at the prestigious Club Penumbra, but without warning, another band backed by Horizon, "Neon Zac", were given the spot. They wanted it back.
The Meet
The team of Blue Streak, Deimos and Slink met at a run-down bar in Touristville, where they met Cyberware Manifesto, and discussed the band's problem. Their musical project with the hopes of finding their lost friend had been given the chance to play Club Penumbra, and that opportunity had been stolen from them without explanation. They wanted it back. The team had no troubles with this, and after the Johnson went and pawned off the band van (without consulting the rest of the band), the team got started with a 10k¥ credstick each in hand.
The Legwork
The legwork was pretty straightforward. Blue Streak and Slink did a bit of research on the band booking agent, and the Neon Zac band that had taken Cyberware Manifesto's booking. Walter Cadwell, the booking agent, was doing pretty badly for himself, struggling to find bands for one of the city's hottest clubs. Meanwhile Zac Neon (who had legally changed his name to that) was the kid of some VP of a division of Horizon Seattle. Mediocre music backed by Megacorporate money.
The Plan
Using Slink's impressive skills of bulldrek, we would convince Zac Neon that there was a far superior concert in another city in another city that overlapped the Club Penumbra booking. Then we'd go convince the booking agent to re-hire the Cyberware Manifesto.
If all else failed, Deimos would magic some agreement into people.
The Run
For once, Things went to plan. Deimos and Slink called up the fixer they shared, Jinx, and asked her if she could hook them up with a call to Zac Neon. She handed us the number and vouched for us. We called up the richboy, and Slink got to work, laying the charm on thick. He claimed that Neon Zac was blowing up in Denver, and that they wanted to give Zac a gig with a much bigger paycheck than what he'd get at Penumbra. By some fluke of fate or luck ((also called edge)) this band was actually producing a lot of interest in Denver. After Slink promised to handle the club, Neon Zac agreed to go.
Next stop: Club Penumbra, the next morning. After getting past the bouncer, we met with Walter Cadwell, who was rather upset upon us telling him that Zac had backed out, but cooled off, albeit nervously when Deimos promised that she could cool things off with the previous band, and get them back on the lineup. One quick call to the Johnson, and Cyberware Manifesto had their spot back. Job done. 10,000¥ earned.
However, Both Deimos and Slink had pulled in a favor with Jinx to get this far, so they could hardly burn her. They had to come up with a show in Denver. At three days notice, including travel time. The trio piled into Slink's Bently, took some long haul and moved out. At the Seattle border they had to arrange for a quick SIN update, but things handled pretty smoothly.
Now, here's the thing with Denver: The Great Dragon Ghostwalker controls it. Aaand he's pissed about people trying to kill him. So he gave everyone a choice; Swear fealty to him in front of a truthseer, or GTFO. Our UCAS and FRoH SINs were not gonna get us through the door unless we swore that oath. So another quick call to our SIN forger contact gets us set up with three burner SINs for Denver under Ghostwalker's authority, allowing the team through without swearing an oath to a fragging Great Dragon.
Once in Denver, the team scouted out a venue, made a deal, plastered the sky with advertising, and put on a show, using Deimos' illusion magic as a gear-free gaffer. And on the show went. Until the runner team burst in trying to kidnap our star.
Naturally, the levitating glowy mage in the middle of the room was the first target, Deimos taking four rounds of SnS and two stunbolts before she even fully processed what was going on. However, in that time, Slink and Blue Streak managed to knock out both the runner team's mage and street samurai in that timeframe, leaving their face at the mercy of the pissed off mage. But because the show must go on, Deimos attempted to sustain her flight and the illusion for the show, while telling the face in mind controlly to drop his gun and leave. While she failed, the face still surrendered, helping his buddies to escape before the police arrived while Slink calmed the crowd and resumed the show.
Aftermath
One booking conflict resolved One show put on One Horizon "star" saved Personal thanks from Ghostwalker for handling the Denver runner team (as if the Seattle team weren't scared enough already!)
