sammy calls acid

sammy calls Murphy

coffee shop - police man

sammy gets call from employer, says to meet at Peoni palace asap

@ Peoni Palace sammy talks to zia zhang

team sit down and DDS walks on over to start chatting

sammy arranges for a quiet place to talk

TNO and DDS trade insults - he puts a hand on her shoulder, and shetriggers her shock frills

sammy tells the team that he'll be personally taking part in the job this time

employer is a female human - Ramona Lee

her son is missing and she worried

nathan had been getting mixed up in something dangerous she thinks, though she isn't sure what, there had been late nights, bruises, cuts

Nathan is only 16 years old

last night he came home in a temper, saying that she'd done something that was going to get him killed

what she had done was hire a PI called Johnny Woo to find out what her son was in to

Johnny Woo was found floating in pieces in Kowloon Bay - she wants Nathan found alive before he too is found dead

sammy negotiates the price, and we're hired for 15,000

she gives us nathan's medical bracelet which he'd left at home, she gives us his commlink number and a recent picture, also a list of his friends which includes Jason a friend of his fromt he corporate enclave. ahe also gives us contact info for the deceased Johnny Woo's PI agency

brief intra-party argument about sammy taking a fixers fee cut off the top of the 15,000 as well as an equal share of the remaining

sammy calls slacker and asks him to track nathan if possible from the commlink ID

sammy & TNO go into the PI office while Acid and Murphy cover the exits

Ming, the secretary, is upset, and Sammy pretends to be fomr some PI insurance agency, asking questions

she isn't sure, and finaly sammy 'admits' to it being a ruse, and that actually he's an old friend of Johnny Woo and wants to track down who killed him the secretary is persuaded to hand over the case-notes on the Nathan case

Johnny Woo had followed Nathan to the Royale Club, a members only club for onlythe very richest people

sammy calls DDS asking about the was Johnny Woo was killed, and if he recognises the M.O., he also asks about the club

DDS tells sammy that the club is an independant outfit, possibly has some corporate backing, the manager is Chang Zhao

slacker contacts sammy and informs him that Nathan's dad worked for Ares Arms

A plan is formed, which involves holding up a delivery van at it's stop just before the Royale while slacker hacks into the delivery firm's computers to place 'evidence' of a mix up in the delivery.

sammy then plans to drive the van to the Royale, stating that there has been a mix up, telling the Royale to phone his company if they don't believe him. he then expects the Royale security staff to let him access their kitchens where he hopes to then intrude further.

the planw orked that far, with sammy, murphy and Acid getting into the kitchen, where murphy 'accidently' knows over osme boxes, and sammy using the distraction to enter the main area of the club.

at the bar, the barman is suspicious as sammy walks up and the barman can't interogate sammy's PAN for his drinking preferences - security is silently allerted, and some bouncers advance on sammy

sammy is taken to a security office and interviewed.

security become suspicious in the kitched when they notice sammy missing and murphy pulls a gun and shoots one of them.

TNO is outside at this point, and is trying to get into the kitchen, but her way is blocked by a bouncer. TNO refuses to back off, and the bouncer shoots a 3-round burst at her which she dodges, she then punches him in the head and enters.

murphy, acid and TNO enter main club looking for sammy, acid spots an astral mage and some elementals.

sammy meanwhile has escaped the locked security office and runs through the club bumping into the rest of the team

as team make their escape, they see some delivery guys exiting the club suspiciously, the team grabs them and kidnaps them., escpaing in the van while trolls try to shoot it up

after interrogating the delivery guys the team learn that when they deliver to the royale they always take the night off, giving their uniforms to some othe rpeople they don't know, who then take the van out for whatever business they want to get up to

we dump the van and ask slacker to find us the other van that the fake delivery-team took

he finds it in an underground car park of an abandoned apartment building near kowloon bay, and the team head there in a new vehicle obtained through one of sammy's contacts

Acid scouts the place out astrally and on the toop floor he spots what he thinks are security cameras, sentry guns and some people

the team head in to find/rescue Nathan, while Acid summons a f8 fire elemental to deal with everything else

rescuing nathan, the team learn that it's an Ares experimental weapon range, and he used to take part with his friends in hunting people down there to test the weaponry... the PI hired by his mom found out, and as Nathan was indirectly the source of the breach, he became a victim

as the team leave, a self-destruct system brings the building down almost on top of them

the team return nathan to his mum who doesn't beliee the story, when we pump Nathan full of truth drugs she starts to believe

this hunting thing is something Jason got Nathan into through jason's dad and some others, he'd been on two to three hunts already

taking payment, team divide it up and head out to celebrate another job well done
