This Mission marked my return to the shadows of New Orleans. I quickly found that the usual round of betrayal, gunfights, plots conspiracies and good old fashioned mayhem had changed many of the familiar places and people. (In some cases terminally but I eventually hooked up with two old team mates Myst and Maclaine. Of course Myst had partial amnesia and barely remembered me, while Maclaine was now persona non grata through much of New Orleans shadow community, but hey those are the breaks.
In serious need of Nuyen, I was grateful that Maclaine managed to quickly hook the team up to a run. My enthusiasm was some what dampened when it turned out that the run was actually a favour for an old (ex?) enemy Kyle Leffler, and a major part of the payment was a favour to Maclaine which would (hopefully?) help Stripe to recover from her coma. I've had several bad experiences with Stripe when she was running against the team, and in fact I considers her to be a bomb happy psycho bitch with an attitude problem to whom I owes serious payback. How ever it turned out there was considerable Nuyen involved as well, also I considers ploting revenge on people who are incapable of appreciating it a waste of time, so I signed up for the run.
The mission was surprisingly straightforward and even vaguely honest. Natalie Shaw the teenage daughter of PCC member Daniel Shaw, had left home and run away to New Orleans then she has disappeared compleatly. Daniel was a friend/contact of Leffler's and had hired us, thought him, to find her and bring her home.
The first step in finding her was to try and trace her movments. We been given details the credstick she was using, and with the assistance of contacts of the team, namley some PI friend of Maclaine's (who owned a genuine vintage Ford Pontiac!), and the decker Stepping node, we traced her pattern of purchases.
It soon became clear that both the credstick and the girl had been snatched of the street. After a little hacking into a Stuffer Shack CCTV system, we found out the responsible party where a posse of Zobop members probably affiliated with the new management of the Japo Jamaican Consortium This situation called for a brilliant and subtle plan, unfortunately we didn't have one, so I had to act the role of a runaway teen in the hopes of being kidnapped by the right gang instead. (This feat of course only made possible by my youthful good looks) This superb piece of playacting went off with out a hitch, and I successfully infiltrated their base of operations. I was busy lulling them into a false sense of security, all the while figuring out how to locate the missing girl when all of a sudden Myst and Maclaine bursting in and started killing lots of people. They nearly wrecked all the hard work and planning that had gone into the op so far. Thankfully the girl was near by and unhurt by all spraying bullets so despite there little blood fest we did complete the mission. Maclaine of course tells a different story about how I was "mind controlled" and "brainwashed" and how he and Myst saved me from a terrible fate, but I just don't buy it.
Any how, we got the girl to Leffler and got our money, end of story right? Unfortunately no, Maclaine call in his favour to help that hell bitch women Stripe which lead to all kinds of conspiracies, complications and gun fights, but as I was sat in the car for most of that Ill leave it to Maclaine or Myst to elucidate.
