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.

-Mama Palazzo needs some well-armed people to escort her daughter on a search and rescue mission for one of Mama's sons, who hasn't come back from a trip to gather a dual-natured fungus from along the banks of the Snoqualmie river. The area has become increasingly depopulated of metahumans over the last few years, due to a growing number of disappearances and the exodus of those scared away. However, because of the value of the flower to the trade Mama carries on with the outside world, her son had been making monthly trips to gather the fungus, without serious incident until now. Mama has insisted that her daughter have an armed escort if she's going to go after her brother.
+The group is considering what to do about Dr. Leach's likely return to his unnatural experiments.
-A good reputation with Mama is worth free low-quality medical service for the purposes of overcoming injuries and access to any information she might be able to gather in the vicinity of the jungles. In addition, if the runners can retrieve the fungus, Mama will allow the runners to have the fungus rather than trade it. The fungus is worth a tier 1 cash parcel for each runner if traded for money instead of food and other basic supplies. Alternatively, Mama can make a spray from the fungus for the runners. The spray, if applied to someone, deposits dual-natured spores in their lungs. This would make the target trivial to track in astral space (as they would appear as a disembodied pair of lungs). In addition, the spores die if the target passes through an astral barrier, releasing a toxin that causes lethal bleeding in the lungs. An infestation of the spores cause a cough after a few days that would likely prompt medical attention.

+Maniac helped the Red Hot Nukes take a truck protected by Lone Star.
-===Taking the Corners Back===
+The runners helped the Brain Eaters take territory near Glow City from the Rusted Stilettos.
-The Brain Eaters are looking to muscle up. 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 BEs 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 Brain Eaters back their territory.
+The runners are backing the support system for the Plastic Jungle and are therefore developing significant influence therein.
-The Brain Eaters will pay a tier 1 cash parcel to each runner 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 the Eaters can pull down from the Matrix.
+Renraku and the Sprawl yakuza have a photo of Kambei and Maniac in a yakuza vehicle during the kidnapping of a Renraku executive.
-===Eliminating the Competition===
+==Possible Jobs==
-The Red Hot Nukes want to make it clear that they're the only law on the Barrens highways. Lone Star has started 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 Lone Star gets 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.
+==Group Treasure==
-The Red Hot Nukes wouldn't normally need outside help to take a convy, 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 make it easier to get road escorts through the Barrens.
