## Summary

Our edgerunners met with a distraught Dan Connolly who was deep in his depression while mourning the loss of his good friend, Marcellus Acewall. After eating a copious amount of food, including 541 pieces of bacon and a 128oz steak, the team got down to business. IV, Marcellus' killer, was spotted in The Glen in the 54th floor of the Hacienda del Vista, a notorious corporate complex. After exchanging information with Dan and some attempts to quell his emotive state to no success, the edgerunners made their way to the apartment complex.

Bribing the door guard to allow them access while armed, they made their way up to the 54th floor. There they found some incredibly attractive shirtless men who were standing around some recently-deceased security guards. After a one-liner of the ages by Torah, the team made quick work of the Himbos. They briefly investigated the bodies and determined that there were more than just himbos at work here - there was a whole hit squad of criminals who did this.

Making their way into the apartment itself, Cherry was able to stealthily grab a look at the room, being noticed by no one except IV herself. IV was seated in the middle of the room on an ornamental pillow in front of a woman, later identified as BioTechnica executive Margot Bazinet, murdered and nailed to the wall in a cross-pattern. IV offered a peaceful solution to the edgerunners - 300eb per person if they forgot what they saw and walked away. After a brief discussion, the edgerunners decided that the only thing on the menu was justice. They engaged the enemies while intelligently using cover to avoid any major damage.

Unfortunately, IV & V and their crew was ready to make a quick escape. V autofired the windows twice, breaking them open and inviting the team's AV-9 to pick them up. 12 seconds later (after some high-octane tactical combat) IV, V, and two goons stepped onto the AV-9 and descended to street level. The whole team attempted to bum rush the window to take out the AV and send them to their timely doom, and were within two shots of completing this objective; however, the AV-9 was able to escape into the cover of Night City's afternoon sun.

With a renewed sense of rage, the team began fighting off the remaining goons who had called a second AV-9. Hoss and Torah commandeered the AV when it showed up, while Consequence and Cherry detained the remaining enemies. Through some intimidation, Hoss was able to convince the AV driver to return to the apartment and submit to authorities.

While interrogated briefly about the whereabouts of IV and V, the goons were unable to give up information that would help the team find IV and V.

NCPD was made aware of the situation and body cam footage, courtesy of Consequence, was submitted for formal legal review.

While Dan was disappointed, seeing the team's injuries he understood this wasn't a failing of the edgerunners but a testament to how strong IV is. He doubled down and vowed to get his revenge, though the team wasn't paid out by Dan.

While leaving, Torah made a generous donation to a homeless man named Andrew who was outside of the 24 Hour Café.
