## Summary

Edgerunners were hired to "Send a message, paint a mural". After speaking to the fixer, the learned that his client who's yet another fixer, wants his name out there to be feared by specific people who have done horrible and unimaginable things.

They accept the job, head to the location in the Old Combat Zone after parking their vehicles in The Glen, and meet a gang who's holding up a narrow passage between some ruined burned down buildings with a pedestrian bridge. Some talking, taunting, and face-downs turn into shooting. Edgerunners taking the first shot after feeling threatened, combat ensues v.s three Stolbovoy users and a person with a grenade launcher who was able to get four of the crew members in one spot, badly hurting some and nearly causing some to get knocked out.

Arriving at their original destination, the Edgerunners help one another taking a minute to quick-fix some injuries, use Speedheals for others, and go into the location to scout it out.
They see their target fighting another contender in the middle of a hugely crowded and packed underground fight-club / bar, just before his contender is impaled on a large spike.

They learn that the reigning champion who is willing to fight anyone with any weapon, or any group of fighters at once, is a fully chipped in Cyberpsycho who is a veteran Solo specialized in different fighting styles, and has won every challenge where he out-right murders the opposition.

Seeing Drake, he yells out that this battle will be glorious, while running in charging him with a Flying Kick. This is where the rest of the Edgerunners 'adrenaline' kicks in, and they take initiative to begin moving and fighting this attacker. As they're focused on the Cyberpsycho, a neutral Tech jumps in to Jury-Rig his armor, causing Courier to attack the Techh despite hesitation & regret for doing so. A couple of members from the crowd jump in after seeing this, and begin shooting at Courier and Cherub, bringing Courier down to Mortally Wounded state and hurting Cherub enough to have to run away to escape death.

Fighting continues as the Cyberpsycho focuses on Drake, truly hurting him and causing him to retreat, breaking a limb, until he is grabbed and made into a human shield by Ants; that's when the Cyberpsycho decides to fight back against Ants and ultimately broke his arm. Learning that they're not supposed to touch the Tech or another neutral member, the Edgerunners focus their fighting skills against the Cyberpsycho while Yumeko runs around using speed-heals on members that need it, Oracle landing a few critical shots, and Courier being woken up after being stabilized, comes back in and makes a well-placed shot to finally bring down the Cyberpsycho opponent.

They are celebrated by the crowd, while the bar patrons take the now dead Cyberpsycho to retrieve his ware, and the Edgerunners use his pool of blood to draw their mural on the wall of this location truly sending a message to everyone else, with Drake's skill of painting (rolled P/D/S 16), he paints on the wall the phrase; "Slim Basha Sends His Regards" for all patrons of the bar to understand that if they do the horrible deeds of the now-dead Cyberpsycho, they'll be next.
