Ares Proteus OM-14 Flying Boat

Current Job

Shiba wants assistance in stealing a flying boat. Of the locations that it regularly visits (Hong Kong, Singapore, Mompracen, Madagascar, and Peru) the PCs decided to intercept the boat in Lima, Peru. Maniac will be reaching out to Kaito Shigeda for a yakuza contact in Lima.

Character Interests

Animal Hair Gathering

President Kenneth Brackhaven

Dunkelzahn

General Yeats

Renraku Arcology

Erim McKenzie

Maniac will be watching Urni for signs of corruption by the horrors.

The group would like to know more of what comes from the Draco Foundation's investigation of Dunkelzahn's Dragon Stone and their retrieval of it from the dragon's astral enclave.

The runners have found evidence of activity by insect spirits in the assassination of General Yeats near Bug City. They made a deal with Red Sonja, a Chicago-area decker, to gain her assistance in entering the Containment Zone. Having now escaped, they are investigating an investment group controlling a set of businesses linked to the insect spirit activity. They are having Shiba investigate Mitsutaka Mizutani, an upper-class Seattleite that owns a number of area businesses, including Gallery S and the building in which it resides.

The group wants to know more about the people who run Gallery S. They've taken computers from the gallery that they can use to track them down. They've asked Shiba to search the ShadowNet for a crack that could let them access the encrypted contents of the computers.

Nine is looking for Erim, who has disappeared after tricking him into participating in the assassination of Dunkelzahn. One of his old school buddies tracked down someone who his sources say knew her, a thief in prison in Denver. The thief provided DNA samples of her and three associates. Nine used this information to determine that she is a regular patient at Berlin UltraMedical, and arranged for her to be kidnapped and interrogated when she shows up for a scheduled bioware implantation. Unluckily, Erim learned of the plot beforehand—though not that Nine was behind it—and has gone into hiding.

Maniac wants to find out more about Lone Star's possible involvement in Dunkelzahn's assassination.

The group is considering what to do about Dr. Leach's likely return to his unnatural experiments.

The group copied technical data for a trans-dimensional energy generator while in Bug City and is considering providing it to a trustworthy partner interested in strengthening the barrier between dimensions if they can find one online.

Urni is knitting herself a sweater out of various animal hair that she's gathering.

Urni is funding the takedown of an elven poacher operation in the California Free State.

Urni has RaverD of the Brain Eaters keeping track of Eldarian Thornsong.

The runners recommended Tyrinni Bluefeather to Janus Koskey.

Favors Collected

“Shaky” Sheila owes Nine a favor for helping her avoid buying bad medical chems.

The Yakuza running The Wet Tooth owe Kambei a favor for him helping defend the brothel the night Dunkelzahn was assassinated.

Favors Owed

Maniac owes bear a favor for helping stabilize Sarah Poole, the insect spirit host mother, during her surgery.

Reputations

Duchess Hethfanithi Malralniell Ridrinril of Tír Tairngire is irritated with the group disrupting her awakened animal poaching operations in Seattle.

Hestaby has taken notice of Maniac.

The Draco Foundation benefited from upfront and unpaid discussions regards the horrors and conditions in the Chicago Containment Zone.

The Dunkelzahn Institute for Magical Research is grateful to Maniac for his cooperation in their experiments with Dunkelzahn's Dragon Stone.

The world knows that the shadowrunners known as Maniac, Mac, Urni, and Nine rescued five people from the Chicago Containment Zone in accordance with Dunkelzahn's will.

The decker Sarina "Shiba" Kōmura owes her freedom from the CCZ to the runners.

The runners rescued Georgia Davis, University of Washington thaumaturgy grad student, from the control of the Piper.

Mac helped the Brain Eaters defend Sundowners the night of Dunkelzahn's death.

Maniac helped the Red Hot Nukes take a truck protected by Lone Star.

The runners helped the Brain Eaters take territory near Glow City from the Rusted Stilettos.

The runners are backing the support system for the Plastic Jungle and are therefore developing significant influence therein.

Renraku and the Sprawl yakuza have a photo of Kambei and Maniac in a yakuza vehicle during the kidnapping of a Renraku executive.

-Renraku and the Sprawl yakuza have a photo of Kambei and Maniac in a yakuza vehicle during the kidnapping of a Renraku executive.

+Hestaby has taken notice of Maniac.

+The Draco Foundation benefited from upfront and unpaid discussions regards the horrors and conditions in the Chicago Containment Zone.
-==Job Offers==
+The Dunkelzahn Institute for Magical Research is grateful to Maniac for his cooperation in their experiments with Dunkelzahn's Dragon Stone.
-===Taking the Corners Back [Minor]===
+The world knows that the shadowrunners known as Maniac, Mac, Urni, and Nine rescued five people from the Chicago Containment Zone in accordance with Dunkelzahn's will.
-The Brain Eaters are looking to muscle up and approached Mac with an offer to put him and his comrades to work. While they've been able to use their automated security to hold their territory in Touristville, the Rusted Stilettos have pushed them out of the area near Glow City, where the Brain Eaters had been running a profitable trading operation with the local mutants: salvaged tech from the nuclear reactor, infused with the toxic spirit of Glow City, in return for BTLs, chems, and weapons. The Eaters are confident that, as the Stilettos don't have as much use for the resonant tech, a few good hits on their crews, followed by some overwatch to help with any retaliations, should get the gang back their territory.
+The decker Sarina "Shiba" Kōmura owes her freedom from the CCZ to the runners.
-The Brain Eaters will pay each runner a few thousand nuyen (a tier 1 reward) once their territory near Glow City is secured. In addition, a good reputation with the Eaters will make it easier to find computer gear, make it easier to find decking support, and leads to higher-profit jobs driven by the info they can pull down from the Matrix.
+The runners rescued Georgia Davis, University of Washington thaumaturgy grad student, from the control of the Piper.
-===Eliminating the Competition [Minor]===
+Mac helped the Brain Eaters defend Sundowners the night of Dunkelzahn's death.
-The Red Hot Nukes want to make it clear that they're the only law on the Barrens highways and so reached out to Maniac with a job offer. Lone Star has been running test convoys of goods out of factories in the Barrens, which risks cutting into the Nukes own protection business. They want to avoid directly confronting Lone Star, so they need an independent group to keep hijacking shipments until the businesses get the point. One rule, none of the hijackings can make the roads any more impassable, as the Nukes want to keep running cargo once the Star is gone. The Nukes will provide information regarding the convoys, including timing and load information.
+Maniac helped the Red Hot Nukes take a truck protected by Lone Star.
-The Red Hot Nukes wouldn't normally need outside help to take a convoy, and so are charging half the value of any convoy taken for providing the convoy information. This leaves each runner a tier 1 cash parcel for each load taken, after the Nukes' cut, until Lone Star is scared off. In addition, a good reputation with the Nukes will make it easier to find ground vehicles and get assistance on the Barrens roadways.
+The runners helped the Brain Eaters take territory near Glow City from the Rusted Stilettos.
-===The Duke’s Apartment===
+The runners are backing the support system for the Plastic Jungle and are therefore developing significant influence therein.
-Janus Koskey, proprietor of Crusher 495, has learned that a Tir Tairngire Duke has a luxurious penthouse apartment in Touristville that he uses when he visits the Barrens for some of its illicit pleasures. The apartment is decorated with elven works of art, the closet filled with fine clothing, and the bar stocked with expensive fey liqueurs. Koskey has a contact with building security that can get them access to the building, though they’ll still have to figure out how to deal with the additional security that the apartment itself is likely to have.
+Renraku and the Sprawl yakuza have a photo of Kambei and Maniac in a yakuza vehicle during the kidnapping of a Renraku executive.
-Stealing the valuables can be expected to bring in hundreds of thousands of nuyen, which after Koskey’s cut, results in a tier 2 reward for each PC.
+==Possible Jobs==
-===The Big D===
+==Group Treasure==
-One of Urni’s street contacts overheard an off-duty Lone Star officer speaking at a cop bar in Bellevue, hinting, after a few too many drinks, that some sort of metahuman riot would be prompted in Redmond during Dunkelzahn’s campaign stop in the Sprawl. The dragon will be forced to choose whether to support the rioting metahumans, either depressing his metahuman base or hurting his ability to widen his appeal. There’s no sign of a paycheck anywhere in this, but if someone doesn’t do something it could be a real blow to the great dragon’s campaign on the eve of the second debate.
