Ongoing Plots

Current Job

The runners are helping the Redbird Gypsies steal storage equipment for the live talismongering materials that can be harvested in the Northern Crescent. The equipment is being transported by the Ravens, an elf go-gang, to the Harvest Home elf settlement.

The group has network security information that could be used to aid a run on Solar Cybernetics, based on Denver. Shiba has used it to design a job to steal corporate data: the team will cause chaos with covert contractors for Solar Cybernetics in the California Free State, prompting an emergency data-dump protocol, which Shiba will siphon off for black-market resale.

Character Interests

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.

Maniac has asked Dr. Oden about the group's experience with the dragon's astral enclave.

Maniac will be delivering the wrongly-acquired totemic wolf mask to a Seattle-area wolf shaman he knows for proper disposal.

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 he's arranged for her to be kidnapped and interrogated when she shows up for a scheduled bioware implantation.

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.

Bug City

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