Summary
After dealing with a strange disturbance call in Redmond about a crazy man that ran into a grease vat at a local Big D's Burger Shack, Lone Star officer Chet Hughs decided that it would be much simpler to call in shadowrunners to do his job for him only to claim all the credit - after compensating the runners, of course. He was proven to be correct, of course, as the runners quite literally finished the job in less than five minutes, with no collateral damages beyond an unholy amount of grease that needs to be washed out of the floors and ceiling.
Background
At 10pm at night, each of the runners received a call from their fixers to meet in Redmond over a disturbance involving grease, where they then met up with Chet Hughs, Lone Star Officer, and Phydel, Big D's Manager. They wanted the crazy Grease Man gone.
The Meet
The runners met with the manager and Lone Star squad outside of the burger joint, where they quickly reviewed the situation and discussed compensation. Prince managed to squeeze out an additional 4k nuyen out of the J's for the job.
The Plan
Artemis proceeded to assense the store to determine all the spirits inside, revealing a force 8 grease spirit alongside a bunch of lesser force 2 spirits, and proceeded to arm up and loan an Ares Alpha to Winter. Prince waited outside with his sniper rifle to provide support, while Trample armed herself with her own weapons. After determining that it was indeed a grease spirit, Winter summoned a force 6 earth spirit in an attempt to smother that fire before it detonated, before Artemis decided to just brute force the encounter entirely by casting a force 7 mana static and creating a 5 BGC, which would cripple all the spirits (and casters) within the store. With that, Tempo, who also armed up, cut down the door and charged in, earth spirit behind.

Game Quotes
Player After Action Reports (AARs)
Winter - For involving the Lone Star and a slew of spirits, that ended up being by far the easiest 10k I've ever made, though I'm not sure I'll be redeeming these meal vouchers anytime soon. The smell of grease will take FOREVER to get out of my nose and clothes. Artemis, if you're reading this, kudos for thinking of using mana static, and fuck you for thinking of using mana static.
