Summary

M4rqu15 M4cr0 invites Vip3r, Doris, and Flyboy to a fancy party on his host with the intent to hire them for a data heist, but one of the party goers is mysteriously murdered with the use of lethal biofeedback. The host is locked down until the team can help determine who committed the murder.

The Meet

The three runners receive invites from the mysterious M4rqu15 M4cr0 to a high class cocktail party on a secure matrix host. Doris, entirely unfamiliar with high class functions and relatively new to the matrix, shows up far too early and is left by herself to awkwardly consume far too many sim drinks at the bar. Vip3r and Flyboy are appropriately fashionably late and meet her at the bar, though the team doesn't do much mixing with the rest of the party and wait for their employer to eventually reveal themselves.

After about thirty minutes, M4rqu15 M4cr0 descends from the ballroom staircase to formally welcome everyone. He invites the three runners to his study, where he begins to request that they locate and eliminate any data that his competition may have that implicates him as an emerged individual. Before they can discuss pay, the lights go out and the door to the study is locked. Vip3r brute forces her way through the door and the team runs out just in time to hear a piercing scream. The lights come back on and the host is put on lockdown.

The Murder Scene

Vip3r leads the way towards the scream with Doris and Flyboy following close behind. The team arrives in sitting room with a man in a foreign general's uniform dead on the floor, attended by an elf woman and another man in a CAS general's uniform. The two witnesses claim that they saw nothing and the body had suddenly appeared after the lights came back on. Doris goes through her forensics checklist and notes that the personal has three stab wounds: a small incision in the gut and side, and a larger incision in the back, indicating that the man had likely been ambushed. There are no signs of a struggle, though it appears as if the persona had been moved there after being killed. Vip3r notes that the persona is link locked and dead from biofeedback based on the attached biomonitor.
