Summary
Background
A Termite Hive is set up in a B Zone of Redmond, hidden by someone in power until the hive has grown to a massive size. Cassandra Withers and the FBI's pre-crime unit determine that hiring runners is the best solution to this problem.
The Meet
The FBI contacts the 6 runners and has them meet at a parking garage in Downtown at midnight. The runners become EXCEEDINGLY paranoid and prepare for an ambush (which doesn't happen). Cassandra Withers appears via a holo-projecter and lays out the job: destroy the bug hive, kill the shaman, don't make a scene. She offers them 80k UCAS dollars, but is talked up to 100k UCAS dollars by the team. Cassandra Withers promises that KE won't be an issue for them (assuming they succeed).
The Plan
The team separate and go to individual no-tell motels. Delphi does a divination and learns that Urubia would be interested in this situation. She goes to The Fun House and meets with Urubia and Orianna Cazador, who wants the bug hive taken out in a way that cannot be ignored. Cricket does some Threshold 6 Matrix Searches and learns that the owner of the building in Redmond the hive is under has been missing for years, that the area is mostly heavy industry. She speaks to News Van Dan who suspects that someone (he thinks S-K) hid the hive, and he publicizes that there's a bug hive in Redmond in the B zone. For this, he gives Cricket a chip. Koschei speaks to Nameless and discovers that refined insect organs can be used to make Astral Bond, an alchemical compound that allows a mage who is astrally projecting and manifesting to trigger alchemical preparations.
Eventually they get a safe house from Rouge Roof Ring (a disconnected subsidiary of Urubia's) and talk about the plan. Cricket is absolutely sure that the FBI is the one who hid the bug hive while it grew, and the team agrees. The team debates many plans, and decides to go loud (despite the fact that only Delphi knows Urubia is involved and wants that). The team wants to use KE-7 (a weaponized insecticide) in the air vents for the termite hive. Delphi promises to tell Cricket Cassandra Withers's secret after the run. The team decides to take Guts to prevent Fear.
