## Summary

E-Gore, Izuru, Spike, and Crash came together to form a brilliant plan. Their mission? Infiltrate the Heywood Docks and sow dissent among the dock-workers and ship-hands toward the A.S.S. (Association of Solicitous Seamen) Union. To begin, they broke up into 2 groups. E-Gore, Izuru, and Spike went to Thomas & Charlie's to procure a suit for Izuru and then to Docks L.T.D. to get working clothes for E-Gore, Crash, and Spike. After some tumultuous driving from Dan Connolly, the crew safely made it to the Heywood Docks. Crash separated from the group with a man they recently met, Andrew. They went to the dock and scouted it out to see what they were working with.

When everyone arrived at the docks, all of the edgerunners played their parts perfectly. E-Gore began rubbing shoulders with the dock-hands, feeding them information about how poor their potential deal with ASS was. Meeting some key characters like Leon and Frederico, he expertly navigated the social interactions and turned the dock-workers against ASS. Meanwhile, Spike was working on getting the ship-hands to join their cause against ASS - he spun a persuasive tale about the man-eating rats in New York and how ASS didn't protect the workers from them historically. Spike was fortunate enough to encounter an old worker who had "personal experience" with the rats and corroborated Spike's claims.

Finally, Crash made some of the biggest strides of all. He confidently walked on-site and claimed he was a safety specialist that ASS had previously fired. The Safety Manager was on site and immediately gave Crash some work. Critically, Crash was able to identify a structural failure in the T-83 brand crane that the Heywood Docks were utilizing, which had led to multiple fatalities. The Safety Manager profusely thanked Crash and Crash used his ear to let dock-leadership know about how dangerous ASS's safety standards really were, claiming he was fired for being a whistleblower.

With all of these aspects combined, "Union Rep" Izuru appeared on scene. Sporting a slick new suit and some newfound confidence, he walked up to E-Gore and started harassing him, telling him he hasn't working hard enough. E-Gore stood up to Izuru which began a back and forth, devolving into a fist fight. With a wink from both, knowing the other was playing a bit, they continued. The crowd became more and more incensed as Spike's ship-hands and Crash's safety team became roused.

E-Gore sealed the deal with a passionate speech and his charismatic impact, and Izuru did his part by pulling out a pistol and threatening E-Gore. Izuru revealed Crash as an ASS Union plant, and told him to contain E-Gore. The crowd, livid at this, began to charge.

The team quickly put together a plan. E-Gore and Spike threw Crash and Izuru into the Heywood Harbor. The crowd was pleased about this, and E-Gore tried to make them focus their anger on the union vote taking place the next day.

The crowd didn't disperse. The chants - "Down With ASS" began to echo throughout the dock. The crowd, gaining a mob mentality, began marching toward the ASS offices. Crash, Izuru, Spike, and E-Gore all got extraction from Dan Connolly and made their way back to the 24 Hour Cafe.

At the Cafe, it was revealed to the edgerunners that the mob had become a full blown riot. They were attempting to set fire to the ASS HQ, breaking windows, and threatening the office staff. NCPD and NCFD were quickly on the scene, considering the proximity to Precinct #2, and began detaining protesters. Andrew was confirmed to be among them.

Meanwhile, Dan was dealing with his client. The client believed the deal was salvageable for a docked pay (350 -> 200) and claimed they would use the pay to help cover up and repair damages. Dan was unbelieving of this, and let the edgerunners know he wasn't happy with how the client treated this deal.
