Summary
Three misfit runners team up to defend an underground Crimson Crush outpost from an ad-hoc murder squad sent by rival gang the Cutters. After a period of racial tension between the mostly human (they brought one (1) dog) runners and the orks and trolls that make up the Crimson Crush, the team band together with them to repel the Cutters' attack.
Background
"Mr. Stalin", an affiliated Johnson of the Crimson Crush, had called in a favor from them not too long ago that involved them making an attack on the Cutters in their region of Redmond. Now facing reprisals from the Cutters, the Crimson Crush seeks outside help to dissuade the Crush from attacking their underground drug lab, which they hope to accomplish by wiping out whatever attack they happen to send.
The Meet
The runners, after helping Mickey purchase flamethrower fuel on short notice, traveled the next day to Everett in their respective vehicles to meet with their Johnson at a clandestine warehouse. The Johnson, a chubby elf of Soviet style, offered them twelve thousand provisionally to spend around four days holed up underground as extra muscle for the Crimson Crush. Unable to negotiate effectively without knowing the exact nature of their opposition, the runners accepted this deal.
The Arrival
Outside the warehouse, the runners found a yerzed-out bright-red Universe waiting for them. Loading their gear into it, the runners braced themselves for a long awkward drive into Redmond. Dropped off unceremoniously outside a crumbling clinic, Mickey and Desdinova began to search its inside, Good Boy reluctantly following them. They found a gaping hole in the floor that lead to a dark, dismal, disused sewer, into which they crawled. Good Boy, smelling all manner of street drug, led our heroes around a corner, into the waiting guns of Bone-breaker and Za'xos, two 'wared up Crush toughs. Surprised and somewhat confused that their "backup" was a an old human man, a middle-aged human woman, and a dog, the Crush escorted them to a generator room deep in their underground territory to meet with a local lieutenant. After briefing the runners that an attack by the Cutters was expected within the next four to five days and that they would be expected to inhabit the sewers with the Crush until then, the lieutenant left, cursing the "commies" for saddling them with human runners.
