## Summary

Edgerunners met with Blinging Eddie at "his" bar after Sunset pulled off some amazing tricks on her way through Old Japantown that wowed some of the gangers in the area enough to respect her vehicle and 'leave it be'.
Learning from Eddie that he was contacted by another higher-up Fixer for this job of a message and package delivery, they investigate what the package is, only to learn that it's extremely dangerous to tamper with or mess with it. Eddie claims it to be lethal Synthcoke, but doesn't say much else. He asks the Edgerunners to do what they want at the location where there might be some motorcycle races, bet on some races, but ultimately deliver their gift and leave immediately.

Arriving at the location, after meeting with and double-paying a Combat Cab driver, asking him to hang around, and walking up to the location, an old SovOil fuel station that was long abandoned, the crew introduce themselves as a crew for the proficient racer Sunset. They're confronted by the point-lady who manages the bikers and helps rent-out bikes for racing, while they get eyes on location to find out that there are a bunch of extremely well geared and dressed guards standing on the rooftops of the area. They all learn that there are bets being made, people inside playing pool while checking out a text-data-feed of the race, and others just hanging around having snacks while waiting for the races to be done. Most of the members of the location were standing outside observing the Eastern and Southern areas, while the Western and Northern spots are unmonitored.

Sunset learns that the racers get to hit, punch, ram, and shoot at one another in the unmonitored areas, while only hand-to-hand combat is allowed in the observed area. She does an amazing job pulling stunts, drifts, and hopping onto the bike of one of the other racers to grab him, then throw him to the ground, riding his own bike over him breaking his ribs and leg, taking his bike to the finish line; not before t-bone ramming another biker who falls off his bike and attempts to shoot at her in the monitored area. This is when the crew notice four of the guards shoot this attacker and completely shred him with their assault rifles.

Receiving their bonus pay of 30eb for Sunset, and 10eb for Diamond Eyes and Cross, they hand over the package to the man, deliver the message of "Slim Basha sends his regards" and quickly begin to leave, not before Diamond Eyes convinces three of the ladies playing pool to party with him, and has one of them accompany him away and into the vehicle they had waiting on standby.

Once their target opens up the package, begins taking and sharing the synth coke that they later learn is laced with radioactive material, him and his friends begin to scream, choke, and die down; the guards immediately recognize it was the crew who just arrived and are now leaving, so they start shooting and hit both Sunset and Diamond Eyes enough to critically hurt them, before the taxi driver's vehicle takes some damage causing the driver to take off just as the crew get in his vehicle. Not far from the location, they see that their package had multiple grenades that went off, while causing a chain reaction at the old fuel-pump station that had remnants of CHOOH2 in its pipes.
