Who is the crooked man?

## Background

A old man whos spent his long life asking the wrong questions, at the wrong times, has finally spent the last of his borrowed time. The runners are called in.

Arriving to a safe house in Puyallup the team are greeted by a camera outside the door that seems them approach, a drone opens the door and guides the team to a absolute mess of a living room covered with printed paper notes, records, recites, photographs, two mounted turrets in the corners of the room, and gods know what else, the Johnson, a elderly troll man with a manic and wild look about him. He explains to the team that he needs them to acquire a set of files from a business in the Auburn district, he informs them that he will pay them each 20k nuyen, and hands them printed information about the building layout, security company, on staff employee names and photos, all information is current as of a few days. The files they are looking for are classified as P.O.L #24. There is no time limit

## Legwork

Lagrange does some matrix perception finding out that the security company for this site is "the promethean initiative" a security company that had merc contracts back in the euro wars and a CEO that is allegedly mentally unstable. He also discovers that the loading doc of the building has had a work order out for a week requesting repairs, Lagrange discovers that the company hired for repairs is "two metahumans and a van" a very small company with a baby host 1 rating. A plan is made to have Lagrange pretend to be from that company with fake employee papers from "two meta humans and a van" taking advantage of the rating 1 host being so easy to hack. Lagrange will then open the loading dock after fixing it and the team will get in to the vault and retrieve the papers they need. It almost works

## Run

Enacting the plan the Lagrange fixes the door, however with one camera in view of the loading dock, and two guards within eye site of it, the team cant manage to stop one of the guards from sending a alarm out to the team, they are forced to engage in combat while Uralt and Luna make short work of the sec people getting lucky to avoid the flame throwers Luna accidently shoots a guard whos flame thrower was hacked to discharge its ammo (making gas flow freely...) and a high explosive goes off destroying the security office and pressing the team for time before KE shows up or the fire eats up the whole building. They get into a car and load there cargo of a entire full 6 drawered filing cabinet into a car and drive off to the Johnson's to drop off there hot merchandise.

## Aftermath

After a short time to destress in the drive the team manages to get immediately stressed when they notice as they return to the house where they met the Johnson that the camera by the front is broken and the door is a-jar and damaged. Luna and Uralt enter and sweep, they find the room where they met the Johnson is perfectly cleaned and organized, the turrets in the corners of the room seem to have been destroyed, and there are 3 cred sticks on a table, perfectly spaced, lastley the Johnsons dying body is left on the floor with every bone of his body broken. Luna uses medical skills to try and keep him alive, the Johnson awakens and warns them all to leave right the hell now, hes already a dead man, his dieing wish "you have to find the crooked man! your the only ones who can!"

as they drive away quickly two helicopters fly up and destroy the entire block with missiles, the team avoiding them with stealth and getting away with a filing cabinet filled with problems.
