Seattle Slide

Back to Shadowrun: Emergence

26th July 2008 - Al's

Prologue

For Slide there was nothing to beat the feeling of burning rubber on tarmac... No not the smell, the feel.  Wired straight in to his brain his rigger control emulator turned ever movement, every turn, every rev into pure sensation.  Slide had the Tokyo Drift in his blood and when he came to Seattle so did the drift, or as he liked to call it the Seattle Slide.  But for Slide he needed to take it to the next level, and now he's in too deep and trying to Slide back into the shadows before he slides off the edge...

Events by Eclipse

Eclipse and Styx are hanging out in an area where people go to race their cars and show them off. Like the Fast and the Furious. We see Crackle who is getting hassled by some Yakuza punks. We intervene and then get talked into helping her find a missing driver/shadowrunner named Slide. We head over to his mechanic friend called Slick and after a chat agree to help him out in return for some money and his second car.

Apparently Slide had set up a deadman's trigger if anything bad happened to him. We are the lucky ones to help out. While we are talking to Slick some more Yak goons turn up and start to make trouble. The party intervene and with the help of a stun baton knock them all out. We then head out to see Slide's (latest) girlfriend. She has just been kidnapped and a short car chase later followed by the bad guys crashing their van we have her and a survivor. He tells us about a Yakuza bar where they were taking her.

She wakes up and we talk, she tells us she knows where the safe house is. We go there and find two of Slide's team: Twitch and a mage called Maggie who is dead in the bath. There is considerable amount of blood.. Twitch explains to us that the last run went bad and they got ambushed while at the meet with the Mr Johnson. The job was to break into an R&D place and steal a black box. He tells us the name of the Fixer who gave them the job and we decide to go and investigate. When we turn up the door has been hacked and the Fixer and his bodyguard are dead.

While we are wondering what to do, bodyguard number 2 (T-Bone) comes in and there is a tense stand off. It all gets resolved and the party get the name and map of a club that the Fixer was looking at. T-Bone goes to do some digging into the job and we go to the bar. As we turn up there is a firefight going on.
