The previous [[SysOp]] in Seattle trusted [[Holly Nicholson]], a KSAF reporter, with his life. Thus, when he got a bunch of really hot paydata after geeking Brackhaven Investments United Corporate Council Representative William Roger then searching his datachips, Holly was set to be the person who got a message if the sysop was geeked. Sadly, the old sysop was geeked by NullNode runners hired by Brackhaven's agents.
A well-known data broker known as [[XXv0y4g3rXx]] wanted a place investigated.


==Meet==
==Meet==


The meet was a relatively uneventful discussion with [[SysOp TANJ]] in a Stuffer Shack until an employee, [[Carlos David]] slipped and fell. This created a background count with temporally confused the astrally perceiving [[Echo]] who started to believed the Stuffer Shack was filled with Blood Mages and Dragons (due to a critical glitch). While this was happening, [[Phantom]] provided first aid then, after she came to her senses, [[Echo]] casted heal on the Stuffer Shack employee.
The meet took place on the Matrix, led by xXv0y4gerXx, whose persona appears to be in the form of an unbelievably good-looking male pirate. Information was provided, to the best of the Johnson's ability: there was an anomaly in both the Matrix and the Astral at the same coordinates, and he wanted the group to investigate and return with a recording of the events that took place.


==Run==
==Run==


[[Echo]] first called her contact, [[Mirage]], in order to set up a meeting to explain the situation to [[Holly Nicholson]]. The team convinced Holly that the data she had connecting the [[Arch-Conservative Party]] to [[Operation Daybreak]] was real, her life was endangered by various factions and she needed to publish this information. They arranged to pick her and contacted [[Septu]] who arranged a safe house in the basement of [[Max's Ironworks]] in Auburn.  
The runners first determined what the typical noise ratings of the area were by asking locals. They then secured countermeasures and went to investigate further.  


The team drove to a downtown Soybucks where they encountered a gathering of the rollerblading/political activist gang [[Enduring Resistance]] where an Ares Global Media photographer was secretly recording Holly's involvement with the gang. Luckily, [[Phantom]] bricked the reporter's camera, avoiding tieing the team to Holly. Then a KE car started following them, as Holly was under surveillance. Phantom forced the cop car to pull over via hacking.  
They found a small abandoned warehouse with boarded-up windows and an unusually low Noise rating. Barbarian could sense a background count dulling his reflexes and making him feel a little ill.  


Once at the safe house, Holly started calling other political parties to get comments on the story which alerted these factions to here actions. Ares Global Media launched their smear stories against Holly before she could publish. Then the [[NullNode]] runners [[Tide]], [[Snap]], [[Callous]] and [[Ruthless]] captured 17 [[Enduring Resistance]] members and called Holly. The team stood stonefaced and Holly slowly realized that is was the story or her friend. Since these runners were mandated to ensure the story got published, her friends were dead. [[Echo]] pushed away Dolphins pleads to help those in need. A few hours later, the shocking story got published on KSAF.
Photon sent in a drone to scout out the interior, where they discovered some mundane rats, a demon rat, and a pair of identical twin girls who were either human children or gnomes. They all seemed to immediately notice the small drone, which then returned to the van.  


==Aftermath==
As the team discussed these events in the van, normal-looking rats started to appear around the van. After a few minutes of this, the team decided to get in there and investigate properly. As they stepped out, the rats disappeared (non-magically, just rats in an alley)


while the story was damaging to Brackhaven and the [[Arch-Conservative Party]], it was reduced to a mere inconvenience by the successful smear campaign by Ares, instead of causing a black eye to Brackhaven's party. However, the results of this run have people in Seattle asking questions and started to the chain of events that would lead to Brackhaven's fall.
Barbarian led the way, followed by Suitor and his drone, and Photon jumped into his Steel Lynx. Immediately inside, standing on some boxes, were the twins, who proceeded to evade questions, while speaking in unison. Shortly after, they disappeared deeper into the warehouse, giggling. This theme continued as the team moved deeper into the warehouse to follow, until they attempted to unload several bullets into one of them. She responded violently with magic before retreating again. The runners followed.  


==Rewards==
The runners were ambushed by several mundane-looking rats, some devil rats, and one of the twins, the other nowhere to be seen. The runners took down the twin in front of them non-lethally before she had a chance to fight back and then proceeded to engage in a frenzied fight with the swarming rats,  a battle the Demon Rat joined part-way through.


===Player Characters===
Suitor was affected by the Pollution caused when the Steel Lynx unloaded suppressing fire and turned about a dozen rats into pink mist, but managed to stabilize himself before it became too serious.


====Barbarian====
Both Barbarian and Suitor contracted a disease from the presence of the Demon Rat, but did not succumb to it before they had killed it. Problems occurred when Photon switched to his rotodrone and the rats and the other twin took control of his Lynx, using its suppressing fire to suppress his team mates. Not long after, however, the rotodrone managed to knock out the other twin with Stick'n'Shock, and the remaining rats were either killed or driven off, some of whom carried the unconscious twins with them.

Background

A well-known data broker known as XXv0y4g3rXx wanted a place investigated.

Meet

The meet took place on the Matrix, led by xXv0y4gerXx, whose persona appears to be in the form of an unbelievably good-looking male pirate. Information was provided, to the best of the Johnson's ability: there was an anomaly in both the Matrix and the Astral at the same coordinates, and he wanted the group to investigate and return with a recording of the events that took place.

Run

The runners first determined what the typical noise ratings of the area were by asking locals. They then secured countermeasures and went to investigate further.

They found a small abandoned warehouse with boarded-up windows and an unusually low Noise rating. Barbarian could sense a background count dulling his reflexes and making him feel a little ill.

Photon sent in a drone to scout out the interior, where they discovered some mundane rats, a demon rat, and a pair of identical twin girls who were either human children or gnomes. They all seemed to immediately notice the small drone, which then returned to the van.

As the team discussed these events in the van, normal-looking rats started to appear around the van. After a few minutes of this, the team decided to get in there and investigate properly. As they stepped out, the rats disappeared (non-magically, just rats in an alley)

Barbarian led the way, followed by Suitor and his drone, and Photon jumped into his Steel Lynx. Immediately inside, standing on some boxes, were the twins, who proceeded to evade questions, while speaking in unison. Shortly after, they disappeared deeper into the warehouse, giggling. This theme continued as the team moved deeper into the warehouse to follow, until they attempted to unload several bullets into one of them. She responded violently with magic before retreating again. The runners followed.

The runners were ambushed by several mundane-looking rats, some devil rats, and one of the twins, the other nowhere to be seen. The runners took down the twin in front of them non-lethally before she had a chance to fight back and then proceeded to engage in a frenzied fight with the swarming rats, a battle the Demon Rat joined part-way through.

Suitor was affected by the Pollution caused when the Steel Lynx unloaded suppressing fire and turned about a dozen rats into pink mist, but managed to stabilize himself before it became too serious.

Both Barbarian and Suitor contracted a disease from the presence of the Demon Rat, but did not succumb to it before they had killed it. Problems occurred when Photon switched to his rotodrone and the rats and the other twin took control of his Lynx, using its suppressing fire to suppress his team mates. Not long after, however, the rotodrone managed to knock out the other twin with Stick'n'Shock, and the remaining rats were either killed or driven off, some of whom carried the unconscious twins with them.

Aftermath

The Johnson was disappointed that they did not find anything more interesting than a dissonant technomancer and her toxic mage twin sister, but paid them the previously agreed amount nonetheless, and gave them a commcode should they have need of his services.
