| Where | Gaz-Niki Affiliate, SCIRE, Level 257 |
After leaving Director Ushida's Residence on Level 259, the group finds another unused commercial property to hide out in — a car dealership. Like the manufacturing levels below them, there are heavy-lift cargo elevators in this facility that lead all the way down to the cargo transshipment facilities, like the one they visited on Level B6. However, they are not nearly as conducive to climbing. Shirayuri could manage it with her magnetic system[1], but it would be a near impossible free-climb for the others.
They spend the day resting and figuring out their next moves. While discussing it, they decide some of their goals are more practical than others:
- Intelligence on the Microtronics Assembly and Manufacturing facilities on Level 252 and Level 253.
- Access
- Information Gathering
- Steal Neat Stuff
Damage the Clean Room— They realize this is impractical; the arcology has dozens, possibly hundreds of facilities that could take up the slack.
- Information on the White Banded
- Deeper general knowledge needed.
- Shirayuri wants to know if her brother can be saved.
Something going on with the director— There's initially some thought that there's something odd going on. There is, but whatever it is, it's just his job.- Status of Twilight's (Former?) Shadowrunner Team: Dropbox, Lab Lady, Optics, Rocksteady, Snapshot
- Endgame for Exits from Arcology
- Non-Citizens Locations — Garbo wants to find his children.
- Heavy Duty Gear — SWAT armor, heavy weapons, explosives, etc.
The group puts on their Banded disguises — Fräulein and Garbo as Whites, Shirayuri as a Green, and the rest as Blues — and head down to investigate the microtronics factory.
Satan's Workshop
| Who | Fräulein Ärtzin, Garbo, Liam, Shirayuri, Nicole-Anne Bélanger, Simone-Marie Bélanger, IGARASHI Izanami |
| When | Thursday, February 19, 2060 (Day 63) |
| Where | Microtronics Assembly and Manufacturing, SCIRE, Level 253 |
In their first attempt at access, they don't find any elevator doors or air ducts. Fräulein projects enough to poke her head through the wall, where she finds people busy at work. They group realizes the production facilities are likely on independently filtered air, hence not connecting up to the SCIRE's normal air handling systems as they anticipated.
They find an alternate entry point, in the more office-like sections rather than the production floor then make their way over to the factory. They're forced to wear containment suits, and almost blow their cover when Shirayuri in the role of a Green technician flubs the procedure. She's able to pass it off as nerves, she's dealing directly with two Whites after all, and the other Greens present buy it.
In the factory, they find everything has been repurposed for drone manufacturing. The large production line for server racks has been repurposed to build Dervishes, and a smaller component manfacturing section is making some sort of tiny drone, like a cross between helicopter and a bumblebee. Further along the line, the tiny drones are loaded into something like a beehive: half a sphere with various hex shaped docking areas for the drones. Part of the quality assurance procedure for the hive appears to includes testing a ruthenium polymer coating.
As we are walking around, a Green in a different bunny suit from most, the shift leader, comes up and begins being a suck up to Garbo. When questioned, he explains the bees have nanites inside them. They attack by inject a dose that distributes itself through the body. Once that happens, they go into a supercharged state and start cutting through body until run out of power. While small and quiet, in motion the bees are very hot. He's explains that the nanites come from Cybernetics Research and Manufacturing down on Level 72; he assumes they're a variation of the nanites used to cut and stitch nerve fibers during implantation procedures. When asked why they're making so many, he simply says he's given a quota and he tries to make sure his team meets it.
After about two hours, Izzie, Siri, and Garbo's eyedrops begin to fade. They leave the factor and return to the car dealership. Even after applying the cleaning solution, Siri's still show the blue pigment, though they have stopped glowing. She complains that she's having trouble seeing, but also has no interest in Fräulein and/or Shirayuri attempting to install the cybereyes they purloined earlier.
Session 2 - 2024/12/19
| Who | Fräulein Ärtzin, Garbo, Liam, Shirayuri, Anne Smith |
| When | Sunday, February 22, 2060 (Day 66) |
| Where |
Garbo builds three disguises, Izzie, Shirayuri and Nian. The disguises go well and group seems to be able to. Izzie and Nian's classes were all girls, they are seeing girls around here, younger, 13-15 range or so. Izzie points out that the girls up ahead, they all have Datajacks, no funny eyes though. The girls seem like normal early teen girls, acting like schoolgirls.
They do have a lot of questions for Shirayuri because of her Cyberware, Social Search has 5 Net hits. Markingship class at the Gun Range, that was not a class even when Nian, Izzie and Siri were here. The children seems unphased by Red Samurai being around, they are about as on edge as if a patrol of cops walked by. In group of 5 Samurai always one awakened.
Lurker crew mapping around, they hear a somewhat heated conversation. Liam leads ground team over and they see two Whites having an discussion, he says to her "One Pyromanic little bitch shouldn't be so hard to find. You better take care of it before she torches someone else." Shirayuri notices the girl has something running up near her neck on her cyberarm side. The male has an authority vibe, even for someone of 17-19. When his back his turn she gives him the double duce and walks off other way. The guy gives Shirayuri once over, says she has style unlike the Female White. Male Shirayuri knows that he is captain of the Soccer team.
Group does come across a class change, there is also younger children in this area. Ages are mixed in classes, 13-15, 8-10 year olds. Seems to be about 2-3 years of ages per class. Older ones seems to be all girls, younger ones seems to be more mixed, but each room is one or the other. Older girls seem to go off and do whatever, younger kids are escorted by a green as a group.
Gist that we get is that there have been multiple incidents of arson, this is first time a person was attacked directly. Story we pick up, the female White was lit on fire in her sleep. All of it has been in University area, some of the older whites were staying in dorms they stopped doing that after Pinkie was attacked.
Search Pattern Vent Group
Ducts - 5 hits - Definite signs of somebody moving around in them.
Maintenance - 4 hits - Well… you know where she got her accelerants. There are things shrink-wrapped pallets with bottles missing from theback side.
Dean's Office Complex - 2 hits - Too big to search effectively, and no evidence of occupation.
Social
Library & Study Rooms - 6 hits - The olfactory scanner pings here… and a quick check of the library computer says there are physical reference materials missing.
Theater (Movie and Stage) - 4 hits - These movie theaters are actively in use at night, though not the wee hours. The stage theaters are only active during the day; she might be staying here at night - the olfactory scanner pings here.
Food Storage - 6 hits - Find central area for university. There are drone-only tunnels that go in and out, but only one main human-accessible entrance. Also, no chance of anybody staying inside long term - it's a giant freezer. (Shirayuri nicks some candy to trade for braincandy.)
Theater Group 1 - Shirayuri, Izzie, Siri - 8 hits
Group 2 - Garbo, Liam - 5 hits
Group 3 - Fräulein, Nian - 5 hits
Assensing (2)- Injured, Angry, Sad, Scared, Mundane No Cyberware, Not Magical, Not seen aura before.
The Pyro, 3rd or 4th grader, notices Shirayuri and the others hiding, informs her to leave or she will burn the whole place down. The Pyro has also been burned, left side of her face, her eye, her hand. Shirayuri tries to convince her we are here to help but she decides it is a trap and runs, Shirayuri runs after and catches up without much issue.
As Garbo comes around the corner she goes "You can't be my father, that's impossible. He can't be here." "They tried this before with Mom, you can't be here." Anne keeps denying that Garbo is her parent and not some trick.
Team Questions
- Where was she taken when taken from mother? — She was on Level 4, having lunch with her mother, step-father, step-aunt, and brother when they were attacked by Dervishes. When she woke up, the adults were gone and she was in a cage with Caesar.
- What kind of classes? — Computers, electronics, mechanics, math. Caesar liked it. She heard some of the older kids were taking firearms classes.
- What happened to Caesar? — I don't know. The younger kids (6, 7, and 8) were grouped together, boys and girls. The older kids were kept separate from the younger kids, and the boys and girls were kept separate.
- When did you see your mother? — It was a couple of weeks ago, but it wasn't her mother. Mom has dark eyes; the woman pretending to be her had glow green eyes.
- How did she get away from the classes? — She attended classes, because they're escorted to and from them. She escaped from the dorms at night. The mag locks listened to her, opening when she told them to.
- Why did she light Pinkie on Fire? — She does not want to talk about it.
Fräulein's Assensing
After Anne mentioned the doors just "listening to her", Fräulein assenses her again. Without the injuries and the strong emotions clouding her perception, she's able to get a much better read. Other than a datajack, Anne doesn't have any of the implants the Whites do, but Fräulein picks up the same astral weirdness seen in Oracle and the Kid.
