Summary
Saul Goodman is back, and he wants more cheese for his creations. FAB cheese, to be precise. He's got a special order from someone high up the food chain in S&K, and he definitely doesn't want to disappoint.
Background
Saul Goodman has ordered this cheese before, through the ever reliable Shadowhaven resources. This time though, he needs a lot of it, and he needs it tomorrow. There's just something about the mood altering, mind altering, and aura altering substance that Saul loves, and he wants to impress his most draconic of customers...
The Meet
The crew meets at the Underground Bakery, finding Saul working happily away in the back. As always, Saul offers them all samples of his goodies, to which all but Scarecrow's ally spirit Babh Cath decline. The spirit is wildly impressed, but addicted. The pastry chef explains that a Renraku facility just outside the University of Seattle has a FAB Cheese that he needs to impress his latest client. He's willing to pay 24k a head, provided the cheese is delivered by the next day. The team agrees, and heads off to the local (Not)Denny's, and begins to gather information for the run.
The Plan
Heading into the Matrix, Canis easily finds the facility, and begins to hack into it's Host. Skimmer meanwhile scouts the physical location for spirit activity, while Scarecrow and Red Flower get in touch with some of their contacts. Canis learns that the Renraku Bacterial Research Center has discovered a fluorescing astral bacteria, with the peculiar properties of retaining its astrally sensitive properties without being harmful, glowing magically, and an ever-changing flavor pallet. Right next door is a Knight Errant station, who are not directly contracted as security, but can be expected to react if any alarms go off. Skimmer notes several water spirits and a fire spirit lingering around the facility, suggesting a fairly formidable magic defense force. Canis also notes that there is always at least one mage on site from the Hermetic Science Department of the University of Seattle, sometimes more. Finally, Skimmer notes that there are charged wards over the doors, sensitive to magic.
While Canis continues to dodge detection within the Host, she manages to also collect the floor plan and personnel roster for the facility. Having overstayed her welcome with an Overwatch Score of 58, Canis slips out the matrix unharmed. Armed with the knowledge of the personnel files, the team decides that Red Flower is a close enough body type to one of the Assistants by the name of Kate Callahan. With a little ingenuity and a programmable synthmask, Red Flower is able to assume the guise of the unsuspecting assistant. Scarecrow calls Jake Elliot, to arrange for two fake SIN's for herself and Red Flower, while Red Flower calls up Frank Grover, a corrupt cop with just the right ties to Knight Errant. After a promise of many donuts from the Underground Bakery, Frank agrees to provide a distraction for Knight Errant, so that they will be unable to respond in any reasonable fashion. Thus prepared, the team dons their respective disguises and heads to the facility.
