Summary
Having earned trust from the Red Children, the runners of ShadowHaven are invited to seek the Court of the Crimson King, a mysterious location in cyberspace.
Background
Before the events of Hast Thou Considered the Tetrapod?, Scarlet the Oracle agreed to reveal more information about the Red Children if runners could "seek the Court of the Crimson King." Night Claws was eager for information and agreed; a new decker named Quickdraw agreed to come along as well.
The Meet
A perfectly unassuming host icon sat waiting. It refused entry to anyone not running in hot-sim VR.
The Plan
Not understanding the dream-like logic of the bizarre host, Night Claws and Quickdraw struggled to make any progress. They relied on their knowledge of host architecture and matrix design as well as intuitive interactions with the fantasy iconography to progress.
The Run
The two appeared in a pitch-black area with a starry night sky overhead, low gravity and no air. On the ground were rusty chains and cages in which free sprites attempted to communicate they were in mourning for something and sought the sun. After some faffing about, Quickdraw located the sun, which was a physics object, and edited its location to be nearby. The sunlight dissolved the chains and cages, opening up the gateway into the foundation.
Inside, the two found themselves in a fantasy city of towers made of red clay and red sandstone.
Aftermath
King Crimson awarded a file with the band King Crimson's entire discography. The Red Children were impressed with the pair's efforts.
