Ongoing Plots
Current Job
The group determined that JLee is looking to abscond with the money from the Renraku Arcology heist. She's currently in Boston while pretending to be operating out of Seattle thanks to a hardline Matrix redirect she purchased from the Code Coyotes decker gang in Boise, Auburn.
Mac, Maniac, Shiba, and Urni have limited-time credentials good through Sunday, January 27, 2058, while Florian is travelling under his real name. They used the forged credentials to rent a Renraku Busman passenger van and a Volkswagen Superkombi panel van. They flew into Philadelphia to meet up with Gregory Armtwister, collected their equipment flown into New York by the Rocky Mountain Harriers, and are now hunting JLee in Boston.
The group achieved the best possible result in gathering Matrix usage data to track JLee down. Late the evening of the 23rd, Shiba was able to determine that JLee and her boyfriends are hiding out at Bastion House, a secure hotel in a C-Security Rating area of Chelsea, across the Mystic River from Boston:
- Reinforced exterior doors and windows.
- Secure garage beneath the building.
- Airlocked entrance lobby.
- 24/7 on-site security:
- Cameras around the perimeter and in public areas, monitored on-site.
- Watcher spirit patrolling public areas.
- Armed guard in lobby.
- Additional armed guards rotating between monitoring cameras and patrolling the interior.
- Rapid-response contract with Knight Errant on redundant panic lines.
Florian, Mac, and Urni each earned a financial karma reward of 15k¥.

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.
