Stick a Needle in His Eye

## The Meet

Fixers contacted their runners telling them that a Redmond gangster would like to talk to them via conference call at noon. Óphis and trample met at a shawarma place to catch up while waiting for Mr. Johnson's commcode to activate. Mr. Johnson (male voice, porcine grunts) told the runners that there was a sneak about that he wanted to disappear, offering 10k each to have it done. After the runners agreed to the job he gave them an address and said he required proof of the kill.

## Legwork

the runners arrived at the house just outside Touristville and did due diligence, checking for signs of life, security devices and other complications and found nothing of note.

## Run

Óphis picked the lock on the only entrance to the house not boarded up and snuck inside. a *very* stoned and dirty man noticed the door open and tripped over himself trying to close it. The runners agreed that this man was not likely to be a harm to anyone but himself and investigated to try and find what made this man's death worth 10k apiece. Trample looked into ownership of the house while Óphis searched the man's belongings. The junky owned a sizable collection of photography equipment and retrieving some of the pictures they contained revealed evidence of a lot of local crime, including a few pictures of a pig-headed mobster.

The runners agreed that they had only signed up to make a man disappear, and that requiring proof of death was just Mr. J being unreasonable. Still, if he was going to cause a fuss about paying them without proof then they could provide.

The junky had managed to coordinate himself enough to close and lock the door and stumble to the kitchen to start cooking (given a loose definition of cooking). Óphis unlocked the door and trample came in with a camera and sim-rig activated. when the junkie heard her he shambled over confused. Óphis dropped their invisibility spell and grappled the man constricting him until 'death', faking a snake bite and leaking out some gross red-ish liquids found in the man's fridge.

They then gathered up the junkie and everything of value in the house, opened the valves on the gas stove and piled into Trample's Roadmaster to do a bit of editing on the 'snuff' film while they waited for the fumes to fill the house. They then pointed the camera and the Roadmaster's cannon at the house an blew it sky high, underestimating the size of the explosion a little.

## Aftermath

Trample took Óphis and the junkie to her home and the runners contacted Mr. J with their 'proof'. for a few tense moments it seemed like Mr. J was going to insist on keeping the file itself but they managed to talk him down, saying they didn't want him having blackmail material of them killing a man. Mr. J relented and was satisfied watching the film a few times, particularly enjoying the explosion and releasing the runner's payment.

The runners were left with the junkie photographer and figuring out what to do with him. Trample has the means of keeping him contained while he sobers up and can offer him some work and Óphis can provide him a community and place to live.
