Concerned that they may have revealed themselves and their allies during their brief captivity, the team lays low for a couple of days.

Session 1 - 2023/05/04

Scene 1
Laying Low, Making Plans

The team spends a few days making their chosen residence more comfortable, or at least more organized. Liam demonstrates his adept powers by knock down the walls between two office units, while Shirayuri and Fräulein cobble together a security system using the smartlink cameras they acquired.

They spend some time figuring out who's in charge should something happen when the 'runners are off-site. They eventually settle on Mr. Muraro being in charge - the Japanese/Renraku members of the team respect him as an elder, and the 'runners apparently trust in him reassures the others. They also decide that a bowling alley on Level 22‌ will be the designated fallback point.

Garbo puts his organizational skills to use arranging training cadres for the new team members. It's both a way to get everybody integrated and working together and a method of shoring up the self-defense skills of the majority non-shadowrunning members of the group.

The team, along with Saffron and Amethyst (who's sour nature has earned the nickname Salty Ami to distinguish her from Snobby Ami). She suggests heading towards the perimeter of the SCIRE, as they're typically open air affairs within a given superblock, so there's no provision for between-level security doors like the interior spaces have.

They have good luck avoiding contact between Level 24‌ and Level 31‌ — the three-unit Dervish patrols seem to be somewhat myopic, and may be more of a ready-reaction force than actual patrols.

In the atrium itself, they are spotted by team of four Blues on patrol and engage. When Shirayuri attempts to outflank them by using her speed to go around the central staircase, she stumbles on a group of Dervishes who activate and join the fight. They're able to fight off the guards and drones, though Fraulein is caught out by their gas grenades.

Just as they're trying to figure out next moves, a new type of drone leaps down from the level above.

The never before seen drone, which will later be dubbed a Medusa or a Killer Kangaroo leaps from a higher tier of the atrium directly into the middle of the group. Fräulein is still suffering from the effects of the gas grenades the guards attacked with, and has trouble contributing. When they discover the drone has some sort of electrically charged exterior, Shirayuri is disadvantaged.

Ultimately, the team is victorious, but not without effort. They head upwards, resting in a movie theatre on Level 45‌ before continuing further.

WhereSCIRE, Level 55‌

On Level 55‌, the team hears a few isolated gunshots. They head towards it to investigate, but are briefly stymied by the security shutters. They scout the perimeter, determining that a 7-by-7 block of sectors[1] is similarly sealed off by security shutters. A quick check of the nearest few blocks above and below indicates the cordoned off area extends from Level 54‌ to Level 56‌.

Fräulein astrally scouts the area. She finds a smaller group of seemingly wealthy citizens (based on dress), well-armed but showing obvious hunger, surrounded by a larger number of well-fed but less-wealthy appearing people. She also notes that there are no children present — she pegs the youngest person she spots as 16 or 17. Rough math leads Amethyst to point out that there roughly 50% more people than expected in this area, and per the original SCIRE directory, this should be a blue-collar residential floor, so the wealth folks are out of place.
