Summary
In which the Eighty-Eights Triad chooses to investigate the new kids on the block, a gang called the Demon Jackals. They hire a team of runners to investigate, report, and potentially provide the means to a meet for negotiations.
Background
One of the foremost Triad lodges in the city, the Eighty-Eights have survived despite severing their overseas ties, now linked only with other lodges in North America. This severing of ties has extended to their internal practices as well, and the Eighty-Eights are uncommonly accepting of cyber/bioware and technomancers. While they are not as powerful as the Yellow Lotus and they do not have the connections the Octagon does, the Eighty-Eights continue to compete for territory, serving in many cases as the middleman between the Asian gangs of the Seattle Sprawl. Sensing the opportunity to expand their influence David Yang arranges to meet with a team of runners to advance the cause of the Triad, and potentially increase their influence within the city.
The Meet
The four runners meet their Johnson David Yang, Grass Sandal of the Eighty-Eights and front of the Triads external interests. After picking up the tab for the table, Mr. Yang explains that a new gang has risen in the Puyallup Barrens, called the Demon Jackals. They are a mixed metahuman gang, reportedly with a few awakened in their ranks. They have not been particularly open with other gangs, preferring fighting over talking. Mr. Yang also explains that he wants to know more about this gang; who they are, what they do, and if they are working for anyone with whom they owe loyalty to. He offers 16k nuyen to do the job, and offers an additional 2k reward if they can arrange a meet with the leader of the gang. The runners all agree to the terms, finish their dinner, and head out to plan their attack.
