Chasing Shadows

GM: Stuart
Game Date: 25th September 2062
Held at Al's on the 25th Septmeber 2004

Back to Seattle Campaign

Cast of Characters

Notes by Pins

Prologue

Shade hasn't heard from Wendy since he molested her. Webb hasn't been in contact with anyone for ages since he went out of town on a job.

Day 1

4am Pins' phone rings. He answers the phone.. says fuck off, hangs up, it rings again, he picks it up and throws it across the room. Shade's phone rings, he answers, it is Satoshi Nakamura (from Finding Yoshi) - he wants to meet the team in the hour at the Wanatabee Matrix Services Seattle building. Shade rings JC to summon to the meet at the apple and pears pub. Shade calls Pins, and Mole, for same. GM sets the atmosphere of quaint british style pub. Pins changes colour to match the UK bus style seats. JC hmmms to himself about Pins (Maybe he recognised him from somewhere...)

Team head out from pub in Pins' van to Wanatabee.

On way there, they see a big hole in the Wanatabee building, fire, glass blown out. Firemen arguing to try and get in, but being held back by arguments of extra territoriality by Wanatabee and MCT Security.

Team get let in by security, and go up to meet Satoshi Nakamura and head of security David Matsumi.

Their wonderful new data thingy X3000AMH got smashed and slagged and boomed along with any backups. A second device is defused... a weird sprinkler explosive system.. a high temperature burning plasma, an FAE type bomb. UCAS Military issue. FADID - fuel air delivered incendiary device. used as a high burning device. designed for safely disposing of nerve agents/gases in emergency situations. Quite rare.

A security chap comes up and says: one of the dead security guards isn't one of ours.. got shot in the back by a real guard who was shot but not killed straight away.

Fake scurity guard has a finger missing, Yakuza, but was shot by a calibre not logical with the guy we believed shot him (the real sec guards), also not much blood. He was perhaps killed elsewhere, and dumped here to mislead/misdirect. Team take forensic evidence (bullets from wall and finger prints from Yak corpse).

Satoshi Nakamura and David Matsumi talk amongst themselves about Renraku Computer Systems having a motive. Mole overhears. Team then hired to recover data.. find out who did it, etc.

Team are offered 50K upfront, then 200K after. Shade says team only want 10K upfront. Team beat the shit out of him.

Team get a night porter to check the 24 hour buffer memories of the maglocks, to work out who went back and forth. They find a lab worker (Aina Wanatabee - no relation) came in at 2:45am, but can't find a record of her leaving. find out what car she drives, then head down to talk to Karl Schwimmer the car park attendant. find a log of her car arriving at 2:45ish Karl is ranting about a car being parked in the wrong space, the right place has another car in, the woman's car, wrong model car, but correct plates.. obviously a fake.

Mole cracks and opens the lock, the car smells new. Shade gets the transponder number. Peroxide blond hair on the headrest foound by Pins.

6amish Team head to Breakfast at Tiffany's

Shade meets a police-contact and gets Aina's address: 107 Wilmott Place (towerblock in renton)

8am team go to woman's address.

Evidence suggests she hit a blonde intruder over the head with a lamp. Place hasn't been ransacked but she and her car are missing. Her telemcomm has her sisters number, so she might be there. Shade rings Dr Faulkes wanting his ritual sourcery help. Lone Star turn up, flashing light outside.. team bug out leaving Mole in ruthenium polymers to watch the police. Police check the place out, checking out a reported intruder, seal the place up and leave. Mole has to escape by climbing out a window!

Shade gets a call from his contact (Lone Star Detective - Whats his name Richard?), fingerprints of dead Yak identified as a known named Yak, and organised crime chap (Shagida Gumi).

Postman visits the block of the sister, Pins, Shade, JC follow him in and head to the 10th floor. Pins and Shade speak to woman, she thinks Shade and Pins are cops. After talk, a man breaks in with machine gun, Pins kills him. he is caucasian - we take his gun and phone and a maglock passkey. Shade whines about Pins always killing people they want to talk to. Shade hacks the phone comapany to get a record of phone calls. Mole gets info from Sanchez but nothing new about the bomb and the dead Yak

Team go for a pub lunch at the pub that Shade triangulated a phone number from the records to. There they see a peroxide blond Jap. He's with 3 guys. 3 are cybered (2 heavily the peroxide and a troll), the lightly cybered ia a woman, one magical guy.

JC stunballs the whole pub as they go to leave, and team takes the 4 to an abandoned warehouse for interrogation. Team interogate female decker called Lotus first. She co-operatures quickly saying she is new to this team and tells the group a X3000AMH unit and the computer files are in their van. Troll is wrapped with monofilament, he is told this but still tries to get up, and slices himself topieces. The peroxide blonde gon monkey is tortured and he tells them where the meet with their Mr Johnson will be and that the Mr Johnson gave them the virus and inside information on the Watanbee building. Team find out that a cyberdeck, and all the stuff is in their van back at the bar.

Team collect the stuff. Then plan to meet the enemy's Johnson and kidnap him.

Plan: Pins wears Mole's cloack and hides in a bush 40m away. Mole disguised as peroxide Jap to meet johnson, he will stun him, and kidnap him as team cover his escape. Pins is told NOT to shoot the Johnson, because they want him alive.


Pins in a bush. Shade and JC are in the van (shame the whole JC transforms into a Duck and watches from the pond didn't work out). Mole (disguised and the peroxide blonde gun monkey) approaches Johnson. Mole quickdraws, but doesn't surprise Johnson. Johnson draws faster than Mole. JC has higher reaction and so stunballs the pair. Johnson's mage provides spell defense which partially defeats the spell (mole to 10 stun plus 1 overflow). The Johnson isn't effected. The moles pain editor keeps him up! Pins shoots past the Johnson's head to try and distract him (because he has been told not to shoot him, but can't seem to win as someone then moans about Pins not shooting the Johnson), but the Johnson's action is already declared and he takes a called shot with a machine pistol burst to Mole's head. Mole burns a point of team karma to get 7 successes (needing 9) hoping for lucky scatter. And gets the luck, no hits, no damage. Mole narcojets and knocks Johnson out.

Mole spots a distant bad guy and points him out, then a water elemental bursts from the pond (scattering many ducks!) and attacks Mole and sends him to 1 point of physical overflow taking him down! JC and Pins spot 2 new guys getting out of a Van in the Carpark one holding a SMG (Sarah Michele Geller?).

JC manaballed the two newcomers, one is a mage who assigns shielding and blocks the spell on him. The guy with the SMG goes down. Pins shoots and kills the mage with his Savalette Guardian. Pins spots the hidden in trees bloke, who tries to spot Pins in return - and fails, wasting 2 simple actions.

Stuart: What did JC say at the music concert? Stuart: Cor, Cor, Cor, Cor

JC spots the sniper, and circles around to get better angle of attack.

Pins shoots sniper twice and hits him in the arm, he starts running like fuck, and JC mana bolts him. JC loots the mage. Team get into van with Johnson, Shade biotechs Mole, JC treats.

JC casts compel truth, and he reveals he works for Mitsuhama Computer Technologies. And he gives a name of a research scientist inside Wanatabee.


Group call Satoshi Nakamura and invite him down, and we tell him all, show him video playbacks, and give him the files and hardware.

Epilogue

Paid a total of 300K (20% bonus for the Johnson) plus 10K they found on blondie. Also got blondie guy's GMC bulldog courier van, w/ antitheft system with electro. no other mods.

In news, hear of gunfight in park, ducks distrubed. Mitsuhama pull out of a deal with Wanatabee thinking that they have destroyed Wanatabees X3000AMH project. Wanatabee sue MCT for breaking a contract and MCT have to pay reparations. Wanatabee Matrix Services Seattle reveals that its X3000AMH project has survived and make a new deal with Renraku and release a super powerful server, elevating Wanatabi to a serious corporation.

Team get 77.5K nuyen each.

Shade gets a call, and is offered mainframe server time for programming, and is told that the scientist was trying to date somene, had stolen and cloned her card, and in clearing their tracks they had tried to assassinate her, which team had foiled.

Shade passes on to Yakuza where the Mafia are sending people for medical work (giving Wendy's new clinic address). They recognise Wendy, say she has been seen in public with Mafia peeps.

Mole's cyberware damage get fixed by them.

Wendy calls Shade: Help me, I am in trouble (GM note: Wendy wasn't using her Mobile). Shade goes round, goes into the place a large house and finds the door ajar. Sees a guy lying on the floor, kitchen knife stuck in him. Its a Mafia sottocapa. Car pulls up outside, Shade pulls out a shotgun, and goes out the backdoor. They chase after him, shouting that he's killed the boss. (Wendy set Shade up, what a SUCKER!) Shade gets away.

Shade calls Pins, they meet at the apple and pears. He moans about Wendy. Says he had a one night stand, and now she's set him up.

Wendy calls Mole, she asks for help, she wants to stay with him. He gives her a place to live. Needles calls Pins, says there is a Mafia hit out on someone called Shade, price is 200K. Mr Mitsumoto calls, wanting to meet shade in 1 hour. Shade turns up, compel truth on him, and he relates the whole story to him. Saying the Mole is helping her. Pins then gets a call from Needles saying there's a 50K bounty on Mole being taken alive.

Wendy calls Mole from his flat, and he tells her about the bounties, and then warns her that he and Shade have no choice but to turn her into the Mafia.

Shade hacks the call to find Wendy's location, Shade and Pins drive there. She has gone by the time they get there. Com terminal still left on, she left in a hurry, taking anything of value. In sent emails, is a message she sent, to Biggio, saying hahaha, I killed blah and his bit on the side, haha, signed shade. Decker in the system using cameras, so Shade and Pins might have been spotted.

Needles calls Pins, says mob war has started, Mafia bombing Yaks.

Shade runs away - lots.
