Summary

In which the runners are hired to recover property and assets seized by Knight Errant.

Background

Saul Goodman is the greatest pasty chef and baker in Seattle, operating "The Underground Bakery" and catering events in high society and the shadow community. Unfortunately, his prized tools and catering professionals have all been seized by Knight Errant, on the trumped up charges of Possession and Intent to Sell the drug Novacoke. Now Saul needs the runners to recover his gear, free his minions, and return the company van. All they need to do is break into a Knight Errant precinct Downtown...

The Meet

The runners all receive calls from their various fixers, instructing them to head downtown and meet Saul Goodman, Head Chef of the Underground Bakery. Upon entering the shop, they are each treated to particularly fantastic examples of Saul's cooking; pastries of the highest caliber, almost magically delicious. Saul explains that his cooking has suffered after losing his prize rolling pin, which is magically attuned, imbued, and focused to increase his culinary expertise. Promising them each four months of personal pastries, he also offers a hefty amount of nuyen for their agreed upon service of bringing back his implement. The crew happily agrees, taking a large bag of pastries with them as the ride off to plan the attack.

The Plan

The shadow runners all convene at Delphi's private office, to allow Sp4rks the opportunity to scout out the precinct defenses on the Matrix. Little does he know that a hitchhiker has decided to tag along; namely Maeghara, the Bastet Technokitty that mischievously follows Sp4rks into the matrix and the Knight Errant Host. While Sp4rks nimbly avoids detection, the Bastet is not so lucky almost instantly gaining the KE Spider's attention, and subsequently his data spikes. As the Spider and the Technokitty spar, Sp4rks acquires the information he is looking for; a floor plan and the details of the specific items that Saul is looking for. Noticing the cat is having a rough time, Sp4rks offers some kindly assistance at great personal expense to preserve the lucky kitty. They leave together almost simultaneously, leaving a confused Spider in their wake.

Meanwhile, Witchblade and Delphi concoct a social scheme to enter the precinct as confused Psychometrists, one being affected by magically afflicted dessert pastries, and the other acting as the caring guide looking to report the suspicious baked goods. Their ruse is successful gaining them entrance into the precinct inner conference room, and presented with the rolling pin and other baking implements as potentially suspect in regards to Witchblade's "condition". As they check the items for authenticity, Witchblade feigns an emergency call, leaving Delphi to distract the KE Mage and KE Explorer, leaving the building only to return as Astral oversight to Skimmer as he stealthily approaches a side entrance, prepared to enter the building. Sp4rks deftly loops the cameras, and the team is ready for the main event.
