## Summary

Three real baddies are out in force on Night City's streets. II, IV, and V showed their face at the Knight-Marriott hotel in Little Europe, alongside an unnamed executive. Our edgerunners were tasked with something relatively simple. Get in there, get some intel on what they're talking about, and provide that evidence to Dan Connolly and Marcellus Acewall. Through some devious planning and lucky action, the team gained some new fans, got into the service area, and was able to find V's room.

They were determined to flush II, IV, and V out of the hotel room. The team pulled the fire alarm and launched a two pronged attack on the hotel room. After entering the room... the team found nothing other than a backpack full of weapons, some polaroids of various biosculpted individuals, and a business card.

After evacuating the building, the team reconvened and found their targets at the rooftop bar and pool. The targets were discussing some things in relatively hushed tones. The team was able to discern some of the open papers on their desk, which included details on a previous attack. They decided to take their opportunity and try to steal the briefcases from the table. After a failed attempt to do so, the team engaged in a hectic close-quarters fight where Maeve went down, the executive turned the tables on the team. The briefcase that they were so desperately trying to steal, the executive simply threw off the side of the building (which opened), spreading the documents everywhere down below.

As an act of final desperation, Juniper took IV hostage. Attempting but failing at negotiating, Juniper took matters into her own hands. She shot her grapple gun at the ledge and jumped off the building, turning a lethal fall into a non lethal one. IV, seeing what might happen here, cut the rope on the grapple gun in an attempt to take Juniper down with her. Both survived, but IV was choked out immediately upon hitting the ground. Juniper fled with a combat cab back to Dan and Marcellus, providing them something much more valuable than copies of the intel - the source itself.

Marcellus showed up with an A.S.S. support squad to pick up the target.

## Summary

Shop in the middle with you

The party was hired to look after a shop in the edges of the combat zone. They were given a quick description of some possible clients, involving a group of pyromaniac kids, a team of 4 chicas who liked to paint their nails. A few military drunks. Hobby the hobo and his never ending hunger for hands. And a Yakuza boss who liked to use the toilet for some alone time.

The party dealt graciously, with Tea serving as a host (in disguise) and 00 and Toymaker making sure the place remained clean. However a Drunk Petra and Anacostia started causing trouble, stealing drinks and ultimately falling asleep on the toilet.

Shift took Petra out, which became quick pray for Hobby the hobo. Realizing the mistake, the party attacked hobby but he returned fire and used his incendiary dolls-grenades to set the place on fire.

The Yakuza entered the shop and were growing impatient, as the toilet was still 'busy'. However the party managed to control the situation by offering the yakuza some Teriyaki Flavour Chilli con Carne Burritos.

When the boss got into toilet, a strange group of visitors wanted some coffee. Immediately Noodle was alerted of a Netrunner intrusion! The party quickly tried to identify the netrunner with little luck.

The intruder went down the arch at full speed and activated the security system. Suddenly turrets popped and started shooting at the costumers!.

The yakuza didn't take this lightly and also started firing. The party started taking shots and while still dealing with a drunk Petra. they manage to neutralize the netrunners and save the shop from disaster!

Felix

## Background

Before he became a Knight, Felix was a corpo drone. he woke up every day at 6AM, got on an N-CART and went to work until 12PM. his days were spent shuffling paper and looking at Pie charts and graphs, filing reports and delivering coffee. kissing his boss's ass every single day for 5 years.

it was on his 23rd birthday (during which he was denied a day off) that he finally snapped. He got out of his cubicle and threw the burning hot coffee that he was supposed to deliver to his boss, on her face. Shouting all sorts of obscenity at his boss and collages, he called them fools, peasants and whores. after which of course, he was fired from his job.

he donated almost all the savings he had to a church, and used whatever he had left to buy a set of plate armor, two guns and some cyberware. he then went out in the streets to "protect the weak", "purge the unholy", "save the nation" and of course, "find true love".

## Personality and Beliefs

***Before Knighthood***

Prior to Felix losing his mind, he was what many would consider an upstanding man. he did what was expected of him to do and he said what was expected of him to say, he had a stable career and lived in a (relatively) comfortable apartment. he believed that through hard work and dedication, everything was within grasp.

***After Knighthood***

After Felix got fired from his job, he immediately went to a church to get baptized. afterwards, he knelt before one of the churchgoers (a normal NC resident) and recited a series of vows that he would uphold himself to. after which the churchgoer (who according to Felix was named John) called him an honorable knight of the realm. according to witnesses present at the time, the character "John" thought Felix's antics were part of a Ceremony set-up by the church to entertain the members.

***Felix's seven Vows***

"Oh my good sir, on this day I swear an **oath of Fealty**. to you and all the other Lords and Ladies of Night city. On this day, I swear an **oath of Iron**. To uphold the virtues of Valor, even in the darkest times. on this day I swear an **oath of merit**. to never fail in my duties and fulfil them to the best of my abilities. I swear an **oath of vigil**. to be an ever-watchful protector and never fear danger, no matter how overwhelming the odds may be. I swear an **oath of Integrity**, to be always truthful, even if it leads to my own death, so long as it doesn't interfere with my mission to uphold my other vows. I swear an **oath of protection**, to protect the weak and never abandon them in the face of danger. and I swear an **oath of Vengeance**, To bring god's wrath upon the enemies of my lords and ladies.

Frank's Portfolio Expansion

## Summary

Frank sent the crew to go and retrieve the keys to a club. Frank had won the club in a game of dice but the loser, the owner named Finley was not paying up.

The crew wasted no time getting over to the spot, their reconnaissance quickly devolved into an all out assault to take over the bar.

The crew were extremely out numbered and out gunned but that didn't stop them giving it a good try.

Diamond managed to autofire a woman into the shadow realms before Ultimately having to yield to Finley, but not before telling him to fuck off one fine time after having been shot in both the head and the leg.

Dread managed to survive the onslaught of 2 of the bartender's, one coming at him with wolvers, the other with a heavy pistol, both very good at using them. He managed to get away with his life, the 4 NPCD cops he called as back up to help however, got meatgrindered by 2 turrets and a man with a shotgun named Derp.

Infernal went to the roof. Alone. At one point he was fending off 3 goons, but really the fight was between him and Edward. After having his guns stolen, ribs broken, nearly being chucked through a skylight and jumping from said skylight to grab onto the mezzanine floor below, he finally gave out to death... Not before however going against the advice of the mook pointing his own gun at him and continuing his fight with Edward.

Frank was told that the crew want revenge.

### Summary

N4ND3RS met up with the runners on a street corner in the Upper Marina. They were met by a shady looking man smoking a cigar, named Chip. He began to lead them down an alleyway, when some goons from a boostergang named Tortuga demanded elf blood! They protected N4ND3RS, and sent two of the Tortuga goons to an early grave while the last one standing had to delta. As they approached the contact spot of "New Totentaz" They saw a rundown club, that was almost completely empty only housing his contact "Quartz" and the mooks working for him. They were introduced to a towering man with devil horns, who they later found out was named Bosch. Bosch brought Coin and N4ND3RS to the back room, which held the actual Quartz, unconscious. Bosch woke Quartz and tried to do negotiations for 10 times the original price, which N4ND3RS couldn't afford. This led to a full on gun fight between Bosch's goons and The runners. The runners, Quartz, and N4ND3RS escaped, with Bosch only losing one goon. Rags:"RIP Flex..."

Cop Killer

## Summary

The edgerunners responded to a call from help from Sally Yay, a torch song performer and waitress from The Dim Sum Palace in Little China. She was in a church and two men were fighting over her and holding guns to each other's heads. Denny Lee was an interpol agent; Phat Chow was a killer/solo. Through negotiation, with the random crazy insult yelled out by Flash about fighting in a church, Tea managed to understand that Sally was witness to a murder. Triad Crime Boss Johnny Wong wanted to kill her in order to protect himself. Denny wanted to put her in police custody, but Phat insisted the police were corrupt, incompetent or both, and she was safest staying with him under his own protection. Tea managed to de-escalate the situation well enough that they both removed and holstered their guns before continuing the angry debate.

But then Noodle and Porkchop reported that several cars were approaching. The vehicles emergency stopped and gunmen came out shooting. They immediately attacked the church. A firefight erupted during which Denny tried to carry Sally to safety while Phat Chow tried to hold off the gunmen. The two enemies quickly became best buddies as they strove to save Sally.

Meanwhile, Flash and Dr. Funk did their microwaver thing, immediately crippling the triad mini boss Mad Dog, who had the misfortune to have been suckered into buying cybereyes. Porkchop hit everyone and anyone with his shrieker. But more and more gunmen kept pouring out of the cars until it looked like the defenders might be overwhelmed.

But ultimately the edgerunners were able to prevail. Zandit called back up and the sound of approaching sirens made many of the gunmen hesitate. Then Phat Chow and Dr. Acula both attacked Johnny Wong, killing him. Their leader dead and the police arriving, the rest of the gunmen decided to make a get away. Castor Troy grabbed Tea and dragged her into a getaway car. Mad Dog and another gunmen jumped in a second car but the gunman was murderered and Mad Dog couldn't drive. Castor Troy escaped and threw Tea out of the car at a hundred miles an hour as he and his two remaining gunmen drove away.

The cop and the killer, suddenly best friends, gave the edgerunners a small reward for their help, and the edgerunners helped themselves to the various exotic weapons the Triad lieutenants and bosses were carrying.

## Summary

The all-VoidFront team dominated this gig with VF influence. From the first moments of the gig, Uncle Void brought the whole team together and they shared a combat cab to the A.S.S. HQ. Void passed out skateboards to all of his VF colleagues and they performed some sick tricks around (and on) the combat cab. Void captured this with his video camera and received promotional material for VoidFront in the form of a well executed and branded skate montage. Blitz managed to perform some incredible tricks while having 2 broken legs, quick fixed by Uncle Void. Shiva and Blitz rode to the gig holding on to the back of the combat cab like proper hooligans.

The team made it, eventfully, to the security checkpoint of the Heywood Docks.

At the checkpoint, they met Alfonso Fierosi, a sniveling, portly, and exceedingly bald security operative in charge of the barrier gates at the entrance to the Heywood Docks. Measuring at a solid 4' 7 *and 250lbs, Alfonso appeared to be a spitting image of Danny DeVito without the successful acting career. While initially Alfonso was antagonistic to the party, the team invited Alfonso to grind with Blitz and the crew. With some genuine and encouraging words, Shiva showed Alfonso how to get on a skateboard and stop, telling him "I believe in you". Alfonso, with renewed confidence having never heard those words from another human being, nailed the stop and began welling up. He pleasantly allowed the edgerunners passage.*

Inside of A.S.S. HQ, they met with Jessica Jones, the front desk administrator at A.S.S. She helped the edgerunners determine who they were meeting with and informed their contact that the consultants were here, via her landline phone. The team met with Jonathan on the 8th floor, who was flashing out on Blue Glass while members of VoidFront skated freely on the 8th floor.

Meeting with Danny Ocean, the team began carefully strategizing a plan to defend against a perceived terrorist threat. Flatline provided excellent advice from his time working against terrorist cells in Southeast Asia, while Shiva, Mythos, Void, and Blitz provided expertise and advice on how to engage and utilize edgerunners to meet their goal.

The members of VoidFront, understanding a potential opportunity when they see it, struck a deal with Danny Ocean. They opened up a contract with Danny Ocean to provide VoidFront branded combat materials to the dock workers in order to arm the workers against any potential threat. VoidFront Corporation received a yet-to-be-verified quote of 2.25mm eb to provide the 300 dock workers with armaments and to replace their current forklift fleet with new VoidFront forklifts.

Realizing he was running late to a budget meeting, Danny Ocean took this information to the budget committee for further review.

## Summary

The runners all traveled to The Slammer, with Tea and Tulip driving through some active combat in the Old Combat Zone. Tulip was able to avoid the stray bullets, but DR1-V3R was not as fortunate met up with N4ND3RS outside of The Slammer where he was prepared to share his plans to cheat on gambling. After some persuasion N4ND3RS decided to not cheat. The group watched as Beans lost all his eddies at the Blackjack table, while Juniper left right after losing her winnings. N4ND3RS lost once and got up from the table, hoping to find another way before he lost all of his money. Shizukuna heard about the fights in the basement, and gathered everyone together to sign up for a 1:1 bet.

Everyone except for DR1-V3R, Noodle, and Sasha went downstairs to the ring. Juniper jumped in as everyone placed their bets. Noodle and Sasha made their way through the net arch, eventually gaining control of the cameras and files used for memory and the blacklist for the club. They made two viruses and jacked out undetected. The first fight Juniper got into was a breeze as she swung her opponent around the ring and choked him for 6 seconds before punching him straight in the temple and knocking him out. This fired up the champ of the Arena, Aurore. After Aurore jumped into the ring, everyone placed their bets on Juniper with a 2:1 game. Juniper struck a strong blow to Aurore’s leg, breaking it. Juniper then struck a hard blow to Aurore’s center mass finding purchase and a sense of justice (Justice tarot). They fought blow for blow quite literally with a double ko almost happening causing a picture-perfect moment. As the medtechs approached to stabilize the fighters, Juniper brushed them off saying the fight wasn’t over. They fought for 4 more rounds, and Juniper had her jaw completely cracked. Shizukuna, afraid of losing her new roomie, pulled out her AR which set the room into a panic. Even with all the injuries, Aurore was dragged away first which left Juniper standing tall in the ring. Tulip and Teapersuaded the bookie that Juniper won, and they were able to get their winnings! They left peacefully, and the bookie gave Shizukuna a card for Juniper saying, "Let them know Cookie sent ya."
H.I.T.S. Patrol I

## Summary

Edgerunners who were interested in some work but had a quiet night, decided to check-in to H.I.T.S and check their job posting. The best paying job was a patrol job starting out from the Nyx Station in Upper Marina.

Going to the H.I.T.S 'store-front' where they could check-in, go to the lockers and pick up an over-all cloth coat with the H.I.T.S logo, and head to the roof where there are multiple landing pads for the different AVs and helicopters; they find the AV they're meant to go on, and begin their patrol.

After an hour long of patrolling overhead at Upper Marina, they suddenly jump to action with a 'code-blue' VIP member needing extraction. Quickly descending from their patrol height, and stopping over the 40th floor terrace, the Edgerunners jump over the railing of the AV while hanging on to chains to help them repel. Even though Riddle and Michonne initially didn't realize how to use these and were instructed by Sanaa, they end up landing perfectly with a wonderful swing around to the terrace; whereas Sanaa hesitates for a moment hitting her leg against the railing and toppling over; breaking a leg in the process.

They end up rushing into a room about 10m down a corridor, only to realize that their VIP was partaking in some special type of late-night entertainment while handcuffed to the bed, and ended up having a heart-attack with heaviness of breathing. Quickly taking apart or breaking the cuffs, Riddle & Michonne work together to stabilize the man and get his heart pumping normally for now, yet unconscious, they carry him to the terrace for an extraction where Sanaa spent a minute quick-fixing her leg.

Thinking that their work was done here, they end up taking the VIP to Night City Hospital, pushing his stretcher to an operating room, and ended up assisting the Medical Technicians using the surgical machines to fully assess, deal-with, and ultimately operate on the patient with the help of some expensive high-level machinery. Meanwhile, everyone was talking as they were working and discussing their thoughts about Night City, its politics, and the wasted amounts of money these VIP-types spend without it going to those who need it.

Finally ensuring that their patient was fully treated and left to rest, the group of Edgerunners head back to the AV that flies them back to their take-off point, allowing everyone to go on their own way back to their normal lives.

## Summary

The edge runners met the sweet old lady Charice, grandmother of the lost boy. As they tried to find out information about him, Flatline realized that it was none other than Mordecai who was the sweet boy she wanted home. With little information to find him other than his connection to Denise and a picture of the Tartarus logo on his computer, Sanaa deduced that they must be at the Tartarus operated club “New Totentaz”

When they arrived, the runners left their gear in the Limousine and Dubu as they questioned members in the club about Mordecai. Realizing that they weren’t answering to Mordecai, they asked for “MakUScream” and got a response of excitement and admiration. The runners were told he was in the back. Mr. De La Vega bought a bottle of tequila for Aamon, a net runner that works on security for Tartarus.

As they went to enter the backroom, Denise made her way through the door. After informing her about Mordecai’s grandma, she said she’d get information about where he was. She went to speak with their leader Soton, and Deadwalker kept the door cracked open in order to spy on them. After hearing the way Soton spoke to Denise, Mr. De La Vega bust into the room offering his business. Angry, Soton responded in an almost violent tone which alerted Deadwalker into calling for backup. The rest of the runners told him to stand down, as Ants spoke to Soton and calmed him down a bit. Soton spacing out for a short while, tuned back in to thank Mr. De La Vega for his kind gesture to Aamon, and to apologize for his behavior. He offered them a job in the near future, while the others spoke with Denise about finding Mordecai.

After leaving New Totentaz, Denise got in touch with Mordecai and got the address of his job site. Arriving on the scene, they opened an apartment door and heard blood curdling screams coming from the bathroom. Tartarus mooks raised their weapons, but Denise quickly told them to stand down. The runners approached the bathroom and found a masked Mordecai removing an ear from an Elf\_Dorphs ganger. Sanaa rushed to quickly patch up the wound, as Ants convinced Mordecai to give a mook the ear and get back to his granny.

On the way back to Charice’s home, Denise told them about her connection to Tartarus. The runners spoke with her about the situation Mordecai and she are stuck in, until they’ve made up for the one million eddies Mitchell owed Tartarus. Sanaa arriving first with Mordecai, scolded him about taking better care of his grandmother. They enjoyed a cup of tea as the rest of the group arrived with Denise. Charice gave them 100 eddies each, and Denise gave them an extra 100eb for keeping Mordecai safe. Ants then invited Charice to breakfast in the morning, and she replied giddy with glee that she would love to go with him. New gf for Ants?...

## Summary

A crew met up with the edgerunner going by 'Checkmate' at the Grande Central Station to board a truck lifted from CASF to enter the Old Combat Zone. Checkmate wanted to eliminate the alleged fixer operating for the the RCL rockers. The crew used a cover Bow-Tie Karl had formed to get into the compound, although the cover was shortly blown after they attempted to cuff Drake and his teammates. A fight would break out, with several members of the compound being killed as they fled to cover.

The crew would make a path through the compound made by blowing out a wall. Eventually Indigo would try to command the hostiles to stand down, but was met with mixed success as they believed themselves defending their home turf. When it seemed they might ceasefire, an explosion was heard as A.Donises teammate, Trajan, began intimidating the compound members of their new loyalty curated by Albrect. The crew continued to fight their way in until finally finding Albrect, surrounding the children in the community hall.

A fight breaks out as Drake grapples the leader as Checkmate tried to repeatedly blow the mans head off as soon as the kids were removed from Albrects grasp. Meanwhile Trajan would launch several more grenades to take out the crew within the hallway, endangering his own security in order to wipe out the most combatants. Fortunally most leapt out of danger, while Owl would grapple Trajan and allow ample time for the rest to attack the Rocker as he took repeated stabbings. Eventually trajan would collapse, and Owl would finish the fight by decapitating Trajan. With a job finished the crew soon fled.
Hot Zone Retrieval

## Summary

The idea was simple. Go to a specific sector in that highly lethal and dangerous place, find the body of someone important to the client, and bring them back in-tact.

Despite the hardships faced along the way, the group were communicative and well coordinated helping one another where they could.

Initially facing off against a group of roving gangers, they were able to clear that sector and continue moving to their destination.

Arriving there, they face a bigger group of corporate-hired looters who had also seen some combat against drones in the area.

A highly tense situation, and a chance of an all-out-firefight at any moment, the Edgerunners show constraint, cooperation, and high level of communication allowing them to yet again clear this sector before moving on to their final goal.

\*They were able to talk-down the looters, notice and call-out the one sneaking around to get them from the back, and offer services to the hurt member of that group that required jury rigging, a cryobag/pump, and surgery. The boss of the looters threatened the group of Edgerunners, stating that if they can't help repair his friend's radiation suit, treat his broken jaw, and stabilize him all in this spot, that he'd not let them leave with their lives. Thankfully, the team had those skills at hand and were able to fulfil this seemingly impossible task.\*

Not only did they bring back the body to the family who initially hired them, but also looting a high-value safe that was 20m underground and under some rubble; bringing back its content to a contact of the fixer who sold the items, took his cut, and gave the Edgerunners a fair share.

Frank's Old Tricks

## Summary

The crew met with Frank who told them he had bought a property at auction without seeing it first. The property was occupied by scavers so the crew decided that pretending K was dead was a good way in. Mr K playing the best leading actor role managed to play the part of a corpse well enough to get both Nitya and Harvey in, whilst Rajan, Dasa and Pedro waited outside with Two.

On the inside as soon as Nitya had a chance on Six (the boss) she took it, and a fight erupted. After some corporate restructuring One had been promoted enough (due to the death of the other numbers) to see a potential takeover plan, unfortunately for him Three left him to die along with the rest of the scavs.

The crew raided the place, managing to crack a password to a hidden safe where they found some yummy loot!

## Summary

Edgerunners took a job with Blinging Eddie who asked them to recruit a 6 people to work security for his new bar that he'd like to move to. He gave them the terms, and said he doesn't care how they do it as long as people come willingly.

Letterman, Cross, and Cross's new assistant Tequilla Killa encountered a group of gangers blocking a pedestrian cross-bridge asking for a 'passage toll'. Not only did the Edgerunners convince them to reduce the toll by half, but Cross paid double the cost out of kindness, and offered them a job convincing them to do something good with their lives. Succeeding, he hires 3 out of the 6 requested hires.

The other members Flatline, Indigo, and Wrangler drove over to a location Wrangler remembers a group of young adults usually hang out at and "skate".

Arriving at the location, they attempt to speak to the members there but learn that they can't understand much Streetslang, so Flatline decides to offer them Synthcoke, which set one of them off into a weird trip of paranoia. Meanwhile, the others challenge these Edgerunners to some skating tricks; claiming that they will not comply nor go with them unless they prove themselves worthy by showing some advanced or professional tricks.

Pulling off some amazing tricks after falling down a few times and slightly getting hurt, everyone succeeds in winning over this large group of skaters. As they were all about to head back to the Fixer, he says to not bring him a large group of people and only to bring over the amount he asked to hire, 6 total. Hearing this, Flatline attempts to converse with the rest of the members and persuade them in staying, allowing 3 of their friends to go along with them. Instead, all they hear is "no job, no pay, no synthcoke". This is when the completely paranoid skater clings onto Flatline for more synthcoke, (grabbing him), while his friends get angry and begin to 'riot' by moving over to Wrangler's vehicle and shaking it up and down.
Tensions rise, Indigo persuades a few to leave, Cross persuades another to go to their Fixer, while their friends just reach high levels of tension and begin to 'riot'. This sets off some hand-to-hand combat violence just before one of the other skaters sees his friends get attacked and runs in with a Teen Dreem, setting off some gunfire shots from the Edgerunners, triggering their own security personnel to start shooting back.

Fighting ensues, Edgerunners get critically injured, choked, and shot at losing a lot of blood, so they gather themselves and help one another escape the clutches of the skaters, escaping as a crew in a vehicle while the rest get away on foot.

Arriving at Eddie's, they end up recruiting 5 out of 6, but he still gives them the promised 50eb and free can of Smash for a job well done, handing them an additional 100eb as hazard pay from all the blood they brought into his bar.
I Don't Think This is Safe

## Summary

The party infiltrated the storage facility through a series of ducts, maintenance corridors and floor compartments, only to arrive to a secure space that held a massive gold sluggie, and the hacker t0nic override, and his medtech Jim.

Unable to carry the sluggie the same way they came in, they put it on a pallet jack and started pushing, however it got stuck on the rails and activated a conveyor belt type of mechanism.

The players had to take turns controlling override in order to netrun on an arc to open the doors and disable turrets, droids, and traps.

Deciding the fastest way was to blast down the doors, they brute force most of their way, while on the net they kept going down level after level.

Unfortunately they hit a Giant and a critical failure made them disconnect. However, the second time around the seasoned netrunners managed to get down to the last level, snatch a file full of eddies, and activate the loading door deck.

Their biggest enemy, apart from t0nic override himself not knowing how to netrun and almost burning his brains, was a series of Laser grids which many attempted to cross, getting cut by it over and over.

Rajan got some awesome footage for the t0nic override documentary, Mayami made a new fan. 00 destroyed a bunch of turrets, and General, as usual, destroyed everything that came across her!

## Summary

The crew met with Big E in little Europe, he stood outside a door marked 86, Vega knew this as a prohibition style speakeasy. Big E told them he was doing a job for a friend, this friend was called Winston and he owns a hotel in South Night City, the crew was to meet Big E at the hotel in an hour. Big E then opened a letterbox on the bar, revealing a coin slot, placing in a golden coin the door opened to reveal an ornate elevator. Big E entered and left.

The crew set about making their way to the meeting location, entering south night city and walking to the location Shizu and Vega saw a duel between two business men, the duel seemed to be sanctioned by SNCPD.

The crew arrived at the location, The Continental Hotel, upon entering they met Cheron, he told them the rules and they were bought to Winston and Errol. Upon entering the bar Izuru, Theo and Vega noted that Big E had handed Winston a larger palm sized medallion. The crew sat and met Winston who swiftly left, before leaving he told Big E that the tailor was in, however they did not have his friends measurements.

Big E told the group the job, an assassination of a Kiroshi Exec. Alan Ishtar was know for beating joy toys and his number had come up. Big E said his plan was simple. Go in. Kill Alan.

The crew agreed and made the route to the location, an apartment building bit far from the hotel.

Upon arrival the plan changed.
The crew went inside to try and scope things out, they did so, finding vents that provided a slight view into the apartment of interest. Izuru tried picking the front door but just could not get it, so instead he rang the doorbell. Being greeted by security Shizu jumped into action saying they were a joy toy crew here for Alan. The guard bought it, but only for shizu as his boss was not into men. Theo jumped to action managing to stop the door from closing behind the guard who had gone inside with shizu.

Queue a chaotic brawl to try and kill Alan, who managed to get away because of his security teams tactic of closing doors and keeping the crew away from a possible escape route. Scrambling to find Alan the crew had to get away as Theo had heard over enemy coms that SNCPD was inbound.

Shizu unfortunately did not get away, she was willing choked unconscious as she tried to commit to getting Alan, she instead woke up to be interrogated by SNCPD, being held captive for a full 24 hours.

Big E told the remaining crew that the medallion he had given Winston was a Blood Oath and as a result of the failure, it also effectively incurs a loss of freedom for Big E.

The Game Has Changed

## Summary

The edgerunners were hired to help play test a new e-sports game by Segatori Rush called "The Grid", but the lead game designer, a man named Flynn, warned that The Grid was not a "game". That's just what Segatori Rush wanted to use it for in order to make money. It was actually a different dimension that followed different "rules".

The players entered this supposed dimension through the use of brain dance equipment and 80's coin arcade games, except for Chappie, who unfortunately failed to beat the first level of Spy Hunter on four quarters and was locked out. Flynn entered The Grid with the edgerunners by playing "Tron".

Inside The Grid the players faced off in a battle of disc wars. They threw discs at each other and battled with stun batons. Both the discs and the batons appeared to do non-lethal damage. Their fight was interrupted by men and women parachuting into the arena, but their parachutes were insect-like wings. They abducted Flynn, created a light jet, and flew him away while the remainder of the parachutists began fighting to the edgerunners.

A woman who later introduced herself as Quorra jumped from the stands into the arena, a jeep-like light car materializing around her. She told the edgerunners to jump inside to escape. Speedy, Watson and Tea made it inside. Y4m-Y4m did not and was beaten into unconsciousness which caused her to de-rezz. Quorra shot a missile at the arena wall and drove through it onto a bizarre floating freeway heading toward a beam of light. She advised everyone to throw their identity disks into the beam of light. It would erase them so that Tron couldn't track them and cause them to de-rezz. They did so and woke up on gurneys back in the Segatori Rush game studio.

The technicians in charge were dismayed that Flynn was still in a coma. They were further dismayed that the edgerunners were all quite injured from their ordeal. Tea even had broken ribs from Y4m-Y4m's karate strike. That had never happened before: never before had injuries taken inside The Grid followed players out to the real world. The technicians remarked morbidly that clearly "the game has changed."

Break Point

## Summary

The edgerunners were hired to rescue 4 babies, the children or grandchildren of wealthy donors of Hell's Belles, who were being held hostage after an attack on Night City Hospital. Chappie very reasonably entered the hospital and asked to speak to the leader of the terrorists, who introduced herself as "Hunter Killer". She told Chappie she would trade the babies for Tracy Tzu, who the Hell's Belles had in captivity. Hornet checked with Baby Doll, who was sad to inform her that Tracy Tzu was dead; Baby Doll claimed Tracy Tzu had commited suicide. Hornet relayed the message to Hunter Killer, who subsequently told her subordinates to "kill them all".

This kicked off a firefight as Glass drove Turok on the back of her bike into the center of the hospital where the maternity ward was located. Hornet fought of three or four gonks trying to keep the entrance clear while Chappie, Turok and Glass went for the babies. With Chappie's help, Turok managed to grab two babies and jump on the back of Glass' bike, while Hunter Killer grabbed one baby of her own to use as a human shield.

Things seemed to be going well except for the fact that the babies hated Turok and tried to wiggle their way out of his arms. The baby Hunter Killer was carrying did the same and even managed to escape, slowing her down as she had to pick it up and turn it into a human shield again. Then just before Turok got out, he dropped one of the babies, who skidded down the hall and collided into a wall with the momentum of Glass' bike. Things went from bad to worse when Hornet, who was holding her own despite being outnumbered, took a stray shot that blew her leg off. Trauma Team was immediately called.

During the Trauma Team cease fire, both Chappie and Hornet were taken to the hospital as was the injured baby that fell off the bike. Glass and Turok were able to deliver the other baby Turok had to the Hells Belles. They had successfully rescued two babies and Turok decided to go for at least one more. Glass switched her bike to AV flying mode and dropped Turok off on the other side of the hospital. He snuck in and managed to grab a sentry and start to choke him out. Unfortunately, the sentry escaped and raised the alarm. Hunter Killer's men started zeroing in on Turok's position and another stray bullet broke his leg. Turok decided to give up on the last two babies and allowed Glass to evacuate him.
