Summary

The team is hired to help salvage the remains of a failed semi-prime run which has gone disastrously bad. Some ethical complications come up along the teams extraction as they find themselves in a complicated relationship between: MCT, a giant mega-corporation that tolerates failure, not at all; Biogene, a biotech company who's stated mission purpose is to create artificial human flesh to help HMHVIII victims deal with their condition better; and their own ethics.

The team in the end chooses neither of the corporations and rather chooses to do as moral of a thing as they can.

Background

Located in the wonderful state of CalFree, Another runner team was hired by MCT to extract women that were kidnapped and forcibly impregnated in a science experiment to make bio-links from a company called Biogene. The other runner team is doing well and manages to successfully extract multiple women until-unbeknownst to them, they are tracked down by Biogene HTR forces and hit by severe firepower and overwhelmed. Their hacker, who has been offsite notices his teams frag-up due to their desire to save multiple women, and hires a new team of runners to recover the lost pieces his team dropped, in an attempt to still receive the payday from MCT. Meanwhile another runner team is in Palo Alto, destroying an MCT black-site. [link to run later]

The Meet

Four runners are invited to a Matrix chatroom while they are attending to various personal business in the CalFree city of San Francisco. The runners accept, and meet an icon who is a paper-origami man with blood staining one arm. He tells the runners he has an urgent job to them that requires them to be able to bypass police checkpoints and offers them 6,000 Nuyen to extract a woman from a parking garage in the center of San Francisco to a black-site in Palo Alto. Without bothering to negotiate he raises the reward to 10,000 Nuyen if they go immediately.

The Plan

Esper, who happens to be closest to the coordinates their Johnson has shared with them picks up a set of clothes on the way to the location. Dr. Boo sends a medical Evacuation drone ahead of him to help pick her up. Meanwhile Flechette parkours his way through the city to get to the location while Stygian drives a rental car through traffic.

As soon as they get to the location, the Johnson calls them up to tell them that Palo Alto is no longer a viable exfil location and they need to go to Reno In the PCC. This poses no problems to Dr. Boo who has an entry visa to the PCC.

The Run

The runners come to the parking Garage where the woman is bleeding from her feet. Assensed for magical abilities, she seems completely mundane. The team loads her up into the medical Evac Drone and puts her into Dr. Boo's Emergency Vehicle. The emergency Vehicle has Electromagnetic coating, and Dr. Boo is unable to find any wireless signals emanating from the woman that might have doomed the previous runner team to death. He correctly assumes that as long as she is inside his van, the team will be safe as there is no way a wireless signal can escape a Faraday cage. The rest of the team makes their way into the Van, and they drive off across the Bay Bridge towards Reno.

Meanwhile the Johnson has given them access to the wireless security feeds surrounding the demise of the previous runner team, where eight people have been violently killed: Four Runners and Four pregnant women. There are some Yakashima mages patrolling the scene doing odd ritual magic, to determine who the dead runners worked for.

The team does some digging while on the road to find out: the woman was forcibly impregnated by Biogene, Implanted with a baby biolink, and their Johnson is in fact working for MCT: the corporation is clearly unhappy with how the previous runner team has fragged up. After a spirited debate of what to do with the woman, the team opts to betray their Johnson to keep the woman safe. They find out their Johnson is a man named Papercut, and is a runner based in CalFree who has some bad favor with MCT, and is considered an expendable asset.

The team correctly assumes both Biogene and MCT will pay a fair amount of money to aquire the location of Papercut, as MCT wants hims silenced for his failure, and Biogene would want him to learn more about who hired him.

Stygian contacts Biogene while Esper contacts MCT, both selling the corporations the location of Papercut. Additionally, they tell them both that the woman is dead, killed in the carnage in San Francisco. They provide a fake coroners report to back up their claims and lay low for a few weeks before smuggling themselves back to Seattle.

Aftermath

Papercut is presumed dead. The runners spend a while setting up a fake sin and setting up anti-Biolink measures in the woman's home to prevent discovery, after they deliver the baby for her. Many of the runners spend a lot of their own money to ensure the woman is well hidden. MCT is upset the team sold the information to Biogene, as they explicitly stated their price for the location of Papercut was for exclusive access to their former runner.

Biogene presumably has gone back to kidnapping and impregnating women to create new Biolinks.
