## Summary

A random group of up-and-coming Edgerunners got a direct communication requesting they meet at a warehouse in Heywood Industrial Zone, beside the bay and near the board of Santo Domingo.
Arriving at different times but noticing one another walking in an alleyway where they all looked completely out of place, especially the obvious hovering Mech piloted by Sanaa with Chappie as a passenger, they notice Cross and Mr. De La Vega going in a similar direction so they all stop and greet one another.

As they're all standing in a run-down area that used to be for industrial purposes, but turned residential for squatters, the Edgerunners talk about some slightly sketchy topics causing people who overhear them to go indoors and board their windows.

Realizing this and that they're out of place, Edgerunners continue to move down an alleyway that lead to a large opening where it looked like construction was happening. Moving through, they see that they're in a more open space where they move further out following what looked like a clown-themed icecream truck. A few steps in, they recognize that they're now indoors and that the giant 'distant' looking sky and building were just a "skybox" effect with some cloth and projected imagery. Immediately the sky-lights shut off rendering the place pitch black. Within 3 seconds, they sense that four bodies in clown outfits hanging off ropes are 'thrown' down and collide with them, but not hurting anyone, offering a jump-scare.

Getting startled and moving on, a large animatronic clown face pops out of the side alley with a pre-recorded phrase, welcoming them to 'the fun-house'. This startles Vega who decides to Martial Arts kick one of the bodies, and use his pistol to shoot the clown face. Hitting a body, he hears a person shout in pain and ask 'what are you doing?', immediately after-which these bodies un-hook themselves from the rope and begin to run, not before attempting to sedate the Edgerunners who seem hostile to them, successfully putting Vega to sleep, but unable to bring down Chappie who was the other nearest person.

Deciding to play along, Chappie acts as though he got hit and pretends to fall asleep, causing Sanaa to freak out and feel threatened, thus beginning to use live-weapons and autofire the people running, bringing two down in 6 seconds, causing the rest to completely run and other personnel come rushing in. A "Chef" who stabilizes his downed companions, while two more with matching clown-masks and computerized voices begin to play the same phrase over speaker together towards Sanaa, "Security, put your weapons down, security", as they proceed to shoot at her landing a few well placed shots against her, breaking her bulletproof glass, and critically injuring her.

Realizing they're in a fun-house of horror, the other Edgerunners try to persuade Sanaa to put her weapons down; finally doing so, allowing the security members to stand down ad rappel away. Moving on, the Edgerunners to continue to experience the fun-house-of-horror, its different events, visuals, smoke-and-mirrors, and finally get shot by paintball guns; which, unsurprisingly, triggers Sanaa. With the help of her fellow Edgerunners, she is finally calmed down again, and they all speak with the Show Host who takes them backstage, shows them the footage they caught and edited of them, and pays them for their time and performance.

The Show Host attempts to use this footage to create impact, asking his assistant to deal with it later as he's having slight technical trouble.
