2055 Shadowruns

• March 1, 2055--Runner team is first put together, and is hired by a female Johnson named Elizabeth Whitemore. Ms. Johnson hired the team to acquire a shipment of pharmacuticals. She is a local fixer, who supplies two street clinics with the drugs that they need. The runners easily completed the mission.

• April 15, 2055--Runner team was hired by Mr. Johnson to pick up a container from a local electronics store that held eight briefcases. These briefcases contained BTLs for the local BTL houses to sell on the streets. The BTL supplier and the dealers were members of the Yakuza. Despite a run in with the Triads, and a near miss with a Lone Star High Threat Response Team, the runners got the mission accomplished.

• May 10, 2055--Runner team was hired over the telephone by a member of the Russian Vory to meet up with his smuggling crew that were bringing weapons into Seattle. His operation had been compromised, and Lone Star was waiting for the shipment at the border. When the team arrived at the meet point, the smugglers had been killed, and the weapons stolen. The Vory tracked down the weapons to a storage facility, where the team recovered the weapons (and a Lion shapeshifter) and delievered the weapons and three of the runners who participated in the heist to the Johnson (Simon Grigori).

• May 30, 2055--'Spiff/Pretty Boy' was called by his contacted, Jana, for a job. The Johnson wanted to hire a team to hijack a shipment of high-end commlinks. Unbeknownst to the runners, Jana had been pinched by Lone Star in an op gone bad, and in order to avoid jail time, arranged for people/groups she knew to be set up for sting operations. She skipped town shortly after she accomplished that task, and her whereabouts are currently unknown. The runners met the Johnson (Nicholas Huntington) at the Lost Unicorn, a bar in the Fort Lewis district of the Seattle Metroplex. Huntington gave the team the necessary details to hijack the shipment. When the team attempted to jump the shipment at a local electronics store, it turned out the truck was filled with Lone Star Cops, conducting a sting operation. The runners managed to get away without being arrested. However, both Jana and Nicholas are no where to be found. The team has been given the possibily of finding Huntington through another 'Johnson,' who is a member of the Tir Tairgire Secret Police. His name is Ethan Silverfox. He has promised the runners 10,000 nuyen each, the location of Huntington as well as the promise of more work after they carry out a task for him, on behalf of the Tir Princes (Surehand, Lofwyr). They are to track down a runner team, who has been smuggling weapons, street drugs and explosives into the Tir for the past 3 years. Surehand wants the team eliminated, while Lofwyr wants the leader of the team, Deep Cover, taken alive. Deep Cover is a drake.

• June 5, 2055--The 3 man team, in order to deal with the capabilities of the much larger and much more experienced runner team (Razorclaw) that is run by Deep Cover, the team recruits 3 new members. 2 magicians (1 a mage who used to work for Telestrian Industries while the other, a shaman who is associated with Green War), and a street sam who is a former Red Samurai. The runners attempt to do leg work, to find Deep Cover but are unable to. A week later, Deep Cover makes contact with the team, and gives them a time and a date where they can be found. knowing it is a trap, the team refuses to show up. Later on, an adept from the team tries to take out the mage on the player's team. He fails, and is captured.

• June 6, 2055--A few hours later, the team draws Razorclaw out, and forces them to attack them at a warehouse. Following the battle, Deep Cover is taken alive and the rest of the team is killed, some of whom were killed spectacularly (ie, killed by their own white phosphorus grenade). The team succeeded in impressing Ethan Silverfox, a member of the Tir Secret Police. And future work with them is all but assured in the future. In addition, one of the enemy spirits, a guardian spirit, went free when its summoner was killed. It vowed revenge on the individuals that killed the magician as well as disrupted him.

• July 3, 2055--A few things have occured to the varius characters during their down time. "The End" went out on a date with one of his contacts, Scarlett, and the restaurant they were in was held up by Halloweeners. "The End" managed to thwart the robbery, and attempted to have the restaurant owners keep it quiet, but as expected, they called Lone Star, and their was an investigation. Because "The End" did help stop the robbery, Lone Star was going to overlook any firearms violations and close the matter. However, when Lone Star ran the image of the End through various databases, it flagged the End's CAS SIN. A warrant had been issued based on that match for desertion. Nara's character was informed that an attack on the factories of various corporations (Universal Omnitech, Proteus AG, Chemie AE Europpa, subsidiaries of Aztechnology) were going to be targeted with a release of Gamma Anthrax. The attack went off, and the characters took shelter in an environmentally sealed house. It took about two weeks for people to stop becoming infected and for the gamma anthrax to become contained. The main mission for the group was to extract a high level programmer from Renraku (who was working on the Arcology Expert Program). He was guarded by four Renraku Red Samurai, and two of his associates were guarded by one Red Samurai. the team was asked to extract the individual and have him delievered to a bunraku parlor, where he was to be recorded on trideo having sex with Bunraku joy girls, for blackmail purposes. The recording occured, and the runners were paid. A couple of weeks later, the programmer jumped off the top of the 200+ floor of the Archology, and committed suicide.
