The Search for Powers

## The Meet

Erwin Austins met the runners at the Shadowed Alcove and told them that he wanted them to investigate the disappearance of some sex workers from a club in Redmond.

## Legwork

The runners traveled the club, the VIP (the P stands for penis), and spoke to the manager there. The two missing women, Alara and Maya had last been seen as the club's Christmas party.

They took a look at what few possessions the women kept at the club and found a man's jacket in Maya's locker with a few odds and ends of hers in the pockets. Dreamer could smell salt, sadness and cologne on it.

They interviewed some of the women's coworkers and learned that Alara was pregnant and that they had recommended she go to a clinic to terminate it and Maya had a frequent caller that stopped showing up before she disappeared. Both women showed signs of being awakened.

They decided to check out the missing women's houses, they both lived in the same apartment complex and they spoke with the landlord. He had already gotten rid of all of Alara's possessions but Maya's hadn't been touched yet. Maya's apartment painted a sad picture; the room was a mess, with a hole punched in the wall, a positive pregnancy test was in the trash, along with some half burned photos, in a secret compartment in the drawer they found some notes from one Darren Jacobs, A UCAS National from Toronto. the two had fallen in love and were planning on getting her out of sex work and moving in with him. There was an unused expired plane ticket to go meet him at Niagara Falls. When Midgame looked up Darren on the matrix he found his obituary, unfortunately he got hit by a drunk driver, leaving Maya to pick up the pieces of her life. The secret compartment also contained a Reuger Warhawk that showed signs of suicidal ideation, but had never actually been fired.

Using clues found within the various letters they guessed the password for Maya's computer and found an email for an appointment for an abortion at the same clinic Alara was going to around the same point she disappeared.

Seeing the common link between the to disappearances they decided to check out the clinic.

## Run

The Redmond Community Health Clinic had been established for 10 years, it wasn't a charity, but it was subsidized and relatively cheap.

Disguising himself as a city health inspector Dreamer and Pops took a tour of the clinic while Midgame negotiated with a Lil' Viper to hack the host and look up their patient database. they found nothing suspicious in the clinic itself but cross-referencing missing persons with the clinic's database showed that they all had relatively minor appointments with one specific doctor; Dr. Dimsel.

Checking out the camera feeds from outside the clinic during some of the missing people's procedures revealed an unmarked black van would arrive and promptly leave. The vans all took different routes but they all eventually made their way to a well guarded facility that the runners were neither equipped or paid well enough to attempt investigating.

## Aftermath

Erwin was satisfied with knowing where people were going for now, but he's looking for a way to fund a raid of the blacksite.
