Summary

Runners are hired by Takashi Hagiwara to free Yuma Takahashi from the clutches of Ares (see ). At the same time, the Golden Rabbit is about to carry out a raid against the Black Side, where Yuma is being held with protosapients he has bred in the industry host of a manufacturing plant near it. The Golden Rabbit becomes aware of Rabbit as she sniffs around the industry host. He makes her a counter-offer, which Rabbit refuses, leading to an escalation of the situation and the rebellion of the drones.

Background

• see No Legion But Still Deadly
• see Anata ga tsuyokunainara - kashikoku nari nasai

The Golden Rabbit has collected data in the run Palm Paradise and is internally driven to get his hands on Yuma because he believes he can get something important out of him (of course, this is his programming from Morning Light Mountain subconsciously driving him there). For this reason he has already started months ago to infiltrate the industrial plant of GMC / Ares and to breed Protosapient AIs in their host. He is about to strike when Takashi Hagiwara also finds out about Yuma's location and hires a team of runners to free him.

The Meet

Takashi Hagiwara invites you to meet him at a better American Burger Restaurant downtown. After the runners have ordered their food, Takashi explains what he wants. The Runners are to free Yuma Takahashi from a Black Side of Ares located on an extraterritorial site of a GMC/Ares factory. The Runners agree after negotiating some extra services. Takashi lets the runners eat up in peace. But he leaves the restaurant before the food arrives.

The Plan

Shy organizes a save house near the GMC/Ares factory. Tempest explores a way across the sewers in astral space and she also manages to enter the facility. However, she then has to run to safety from a patronizing fire spirit. Rabbit manages to find the Industry Host on the Ares Grid and infiltrates it. Inside the host, she catches a glimpse of some strange-looking personas. She is able to find and infiltrate the Blackside Data Host. She finds a file with the name of her target. She just manages to disarm the data bomb and copy a large file with information and research results on Yuma. She is observed by Golden Rabbit, who manages to secretly mark and trace her deck. Rabbit leaves the Ares Host after copying the file and placing a new data bomb. A little later she receives a message from Golden Rabbit who offers to buy the data and after a short exchange also offers to pay for it if the runners deliver Yumi to him. Rabbit is being vague and Golden Rabbit gives her some time to think about it while he continues to search for private information about the Runner.
