Jelly’s boyfriend Ted has gone missing, last seen in the company of Victor Hernandez, known associate of organleggers.

PCs were also introduced to Luke & Sven, and passed along the message that Aztech was looking for Luke.

Went to Victor’s apartment and asked to speak with him. He said he’d meet us, then drove off. Chased him down, set his tire afire, and shot him with gel rounds when he ran.

Offered him his life and liberty if he gave us info and left Seattle. He gave us some basic info on Bob (an organlegger from Aztlan) and his base of operations (a warehouse in Puyallup), guarded by human guards with assault rifles at the doors, watcher spirits above, and ghouls below.

Called Charlie & Luke and got support from them before heading in.

Killed the ghouls downstairs except one, which ran upstairs to warn the leggers, who have begun to pile into vehicles with some hostages. Hastings is waiting outside the garage door in her car. Lightbulb took L stun from casting a barrier, and has a gnome guarding the sewer exit against ghouls and other dual-natured creatures.

Cleared the warehouse, rescued what victims we could

Found Dr Jekyll, but he wasn’t very nice.

Shiawase’s nuclear power plant in the Barrens flickered off and on in the span of about a minute. They claim it was due to an attack by Gaia (which is in the Pacific Prosperity Group along with Wuxing), and will be presenting evidence to that effect to the Corp Court.

We’ve been asked to find out what that evidence is.

A major Shiawase investigator flew in to Seattle the day before the failure, and is expected to pick up the job.

The characters have decided to lie in wait for the investigator’s transport (helicopter just outside the plant) and hijack it. A Force 8 Kuen of the City has been summoned and a service used to Conceal the party (another service remains unclaimed).

Hastings (19) and Seraph (15) have successfully hidden in ambush, and the chopper has now landed…

The plan worked, and the PCs gained control of the helicopter, the 2 suits and their briefcases. Sure, Seraph almost died but that wasn’t Lightbulb’s fault. In fact, a timely conjuration was the only reason the chopper didn’t come crashing down…

The plan is:

“Grandfather” G (played by Cinderblock via spell) makes arrangements from Japan, booking a flight, a hotel, and a guard, and renting a restaurant for a night. He flies over, signs in to the hotel, and meets his guard (the Furball). He’s upset that they gave him a “sub-human” guard, but she’s all they had available who spoke Japanese. He sends his “son” a message to meet and to bring his family – he wants to see his great grandchildren.

At the restaurant, Lightbulb will be acting as caterer/organizer, and Seraph will handle serving and entertainment duties. We’ll have some kitchen staff cooking, and an extra guard (sub-contracted) just to keep things “secure”. L will be there early to summon a spirit and rest up afterwards. G will arrive a little early to make sure things are up to spec. We expect the family’s guards (probably 1-3) to do a sweep just before the event.

Once things get rolling, G will hand out talismans to the family (Japanese good luck charms). G will invite S out to entertain. She’ll drop a smoke bomb while L gets the spirit to conceal those with charms (including us). G and F will deal with the guards (the father’s guard is top priority), while L and S escort the family downstairs to the parking garage.

L will drive off in the catering van at high speed, hoping to draw off any rigger waiting outside. S will then put the family in a separate unmarked van and drive them in the other direction to the nearest Wuxing territory.

So Seraph jumped the gun, and Cinder got violent, and somehow we got away with it. Sometimes I don’t know why I bother.

Delivered a tractor trailer to Erin Delisle at a Telestrian Industries building in Portland, and received another trailer in return. Got ambushed in Salish territory by Gaia’s Guardians (led by Laughing Bear, who got away). They attacked the trailer hoping to free an endangered animal. The trailer has been damaged, and the air line for the front brakes is slowly leaking. Hastings has tried to fix it, but didn’t have the proper materials or replacement parts.
