An Angel in Glow City

## Background

The runners were contacted by their fixers to meet at a cafe in the Barrens near Glow City, The Whore Cafe.

## The Meet

The runners met in The Whore Cafe with a very nervous Johnson. The man wore a gas-mask and a suit and seemed to be completely obsessed with drinking tea. His table was littered with cups. The Collector, as he called himself with flair, gave us a job. He told us he wished for us to retrieve an Angel Squirrel that had been spotted in Glow City itself. He wanted it for his collection.

## Legwork

The Runners went and purchased a bunch of non-perishable food and clean water. Then they all rode into the irradiated zone on their Yamaha Growlers. A true biker gang.

## Run

Initially, the crew attempted to get some information from the Rusted Stiletto members. They were easily bribed with food and water, and were not interested in messing with Seen. He openly carried an AK-97, a bigger gun than most of them had ever seen. They gave some decent leads for the team, and the team made their way into the irradiated waste.

They decided to set some traps with some of their rations. Eventually, they did manage to get the little bastard squirrel, but it escaped their trap before the team could arrive. They managed to track it back to a massive network of tunnels. They spent some time trying to spook it from the tunnels, without much success.

Extrapolating from what they knew of the network of squirrel-made tunnels, they located a likely path, leading them to eventually come across an abandoned grocery. The team managed to get inside, but immediately realized that it was heavily irradiated from the way it fucked with Seen's magic, and how their Geiger counters were going apeshit. They resolved to get that damn squirrel and get out as soon as possible.

Seen lead the way inside. Checking corners, and using his small unit tactics knowledge to efficiently check the building with the team. They split up, and while Nova and Seen found the squirrel, skittering about in the ceiling, Mutt found something much worse.

He encountered in the back room of the place a terrible nuclear spirit. He was struck with a terrible radiation blast, and anyone other than the rad-resistant Mutt would have contracted cancer on the spot. As it was, Mutt managed to shrug off the magical attack, and return the blow tenfold, with a burst of fire from his assault rifle. So brutal was the weapon that is discorporated the spirit on the spot.

Meanwhile, the squirrel was dodging and ducking the spray of fire from Seen and Nova. They destroyed half the ceiling panels trying to get the squirrel. Sticknshock rounds littered the floor and ceiling, and eventally, they managed to hit the little rodent, stunning him. They loaded him into a grocery bag, and hauled him back to the collector for their reward.

## Aftermath

The Collector was happy to get his Angel Squirrel. It definitely adds to his collection (and may helo with how he suffers from radiation, but he will not speak of this openly).

## Rewards

* 3 Karma
* 10K Nuyen
* 2 CDP
* The Collector as a 2/1 contact.

## Player After-Action Reports

*Seen; Glow City was an experience I'd rather not repeat. The Rusted Stilletos weren't so bad. They just wanted some food and water, but I do hate to see people suffering so much. I handed out all my supplies right before leaving. It's terrible how the people there are living, should be illegal, really. Not enough to eat or drink, no health services, and radiation bad enough to mutate most of the people there... It's a sad state of affairs. Maybe one day, when I'm rich enough, I can go back and help them...*
