## Summary

Edgerunners were spending some time to unwind and refuel at a lone-standing diner near the waterfront at Upper Marina, just off the main road and across some corporate skyrises.

They noticed a disgruntled man in a business suit, lots of paperwork on his table, and a blank dead stare outside the diner. Since some of the attendees here recognized a few others at the diner, they had a meet-and-greet and some sat together while eating and having coffee. Their conversation was slightly overheard by the man in the suit, as he made a slight comment related to their topic. Curious, E-Gore went over to speak to the man and ended up sitting with him, learning what his problem was, deciding to help him, and called over his friends Consequence and Flatline. On the other side of the diner was Stella watching the situation unfold as she was sketching the businessman.

After long talks and a lot of means to test the intent of one another, the businessman opens up and lets the group know that he feels trapped by the corporation he works for, and wants an out; yet, everything in their contract shows that his intellectual property and inventions are legally owned by the corporation. As a result, the man would rather take his own life than let that corporation 'take' his life. The Edgerunners decide to help him, and make a plan to fake his death after attacking the corporate vehicle and security accompanying him, now parked outside the diner.

They leave the location, prepare/setup, and come back on foot sneaking back to the diner for a surprise attack.

Flatline and E-Gore yank the two guards out of their vehicle dealing a few powerful hits, while one of the security guards assumes that these people are trying to steal their vehicle with its corporate data. As a result, he sets off a failsafe and begins to run instructing his partner to run away as well. As they begin to run Northward away from the vehicle and diner, with his legendary persuasive ability, E-Gore reminds one of them that their boss is still at the diner. Attempting to run back, that guard ends up just beside the vehicle as it explodes, causing him to snap his spine and draw his last breath. E-Gore continues to yell taunts at the escaped guard who is now far gone between the buildings across the street, ensuring that the phrase "We're going to kill your boss" was heard.

Meanwhile, Stella and Consequence head for the diner itself to grab the businessman, dropping a smoke grenade to conceal their exit, helping the businessman quickly get rid of his jacket and agent after taking a shotgun-shell of rubber bullets to the gut, and escort him out of there 'by force' far away from the diner and in the opposite direction of the corporate vehicle.

A successful attempt at extracting and fake-killing the man, allowing him to head to a Nomad tribe nearby where he could help them with his knowledge in exchange for a low-profile living situation/lifestyle.

Great game guys, loved all the RP and keeping things in-character while planning and figuring out a solution to save this man for the greater good and benefit of others.
