			* We finish the fight. Deadman gets hit with some bad poison. It's not good.
			* We kill the baddies, save one. We question him.
			* He was hired with another guy to protect the facility.
			** They're doing weird stuff. There's something underground.
			* They let the last guy go. Then investigate the dead dragon monster and the other dead guy.
			** The other dead guy looks kind of like Marcel Macroux, but it's not him. This dude is clearly French Canadian. Fur-covered Denim Jacket.
			*** He has a credstick with 200 NuYen, his membership card to the big game hunter's association of Colorado Springs, Ring of keys (old keys)
			**** Deadman takes the keys
			* Deadman is feeling some wriggling in his arm. It's real itchy
			** After a Fort save, things seem... okay....
			* Deadman has this urge to touch an altar we find. He hears the Archduke's voice in his head to touch it. The lights dim, then resume.
			* I guess we solved the problem????
			* We leave, then go to find Benson... at an arcade.
			** "Benson, if you lose this, you're never going to space camp."
			* Benson is winning a game, Deadman hands him the 200 NuYen. HE WINS.
			* The session wraps, as Benson yells "SPACE CAMP" running out of the arcade after his big win, fist pumped to the sky. BREAKFAST CLUB STYLE.

			* Benson gives us a dossier of organized info
			* We review it in the middle of the table at a hindenberger
			* We get some info on the MAUS
			** Who we may run into
			** The history...
			** A disease (the ghoul virus) has been spreading around underground
			* The Maus is quarantined to keep the ghouls in
			* We're off to take care of these dragon worshippers who APPARENTLY killed a local priest.
			* We get a picture of a slightly older guy
			* We get a photo of a stately looking ork
			** Acelion Tarnov, Deadman knows him as a connection in the city
			*** He's helped Deadman with some semi-corp connections in the city
			* Deadman shoots him a message about the Maus, he gets a location for them to meet - a fancy cafe in the mid-districts in the Cube
			* The cube is clean, pristine. Glass, floor to ceiling. There's simulated sunlight on all floors. It feels like we're outside.
			** Crisp, mountain air flows throughout. It's somehow cleaner air inside than outside.
			* The dragon worshippers have taken over a former corporate complex.
			** Aztechnology
			* If you recall: Many corps were run underground due to, you know, the dragon.
			* This complex was all about experimenting on people... biologically.
			* There might be ghouls... probably some other bad shit.
			* So we ask for where the best entrance would be for us... he gives us a few.
			** Direct route, follow through the Maus. It's gonna be rough.
			** Air ducts? Probably harder to approach.
			** We could go through a sewer. Gonna say no to that.
			** We could... dig through?
			* But about these dragon cultists...
			* We find our way into the facility via airduct.
			* Killy and MRV do a little hacking and a little surveilence
			* We jam a door, then go in another, we find a dark room... move to the door, another dark room.
			* We round a corner and run into a dwarf.
			* We melt him. whoops.
			* Continuing on, we find a round room with a square table. More of the same equipment as we found in CLUE... shit.
			* We find a room with a dragon statue. MRV knows a bunch about Dragons. (Culture Check!)
			** This area is big on dragon and drake hunting.
			* IN this room though... deadman sees a young elven face on a shadowy figure... Killy and MRV don't see this figure.
			** It's the face... of the Archduke.
			* The figure fades away, deadman shakes out his nerves and does a line of novacoke. He's riled up.
			* The gang goes to leave through another room, but there are voices on the other side of the door.
			* MRV casts a ghost sound like a dragon roaring
			* One guy comes through the door... and we pounce on him.
			* Then a fight breaks out. A big fucking monster shows up. It's nasty.
			* We end on Deadman getting hit by this monster, and it absorbs something nasty from Deadman.
			** WE'LL RESOLVE THE BAD SHIT NEXT TIME.

			* Killy hacks into her Iguana's instagram (Fella is its name)
			** She renames him to be "Felix the Fella"
			** it's a BRAND reveal, his actual name is "Felix"
			* We're going to an URBAN BRAWL game. The tickets we got are VIP, front-row.
			** Local game, two denver teams - Sentennial City Sentinals vs Lakewood Lightening
			* Urban Brawl holds the old USA together, even after the split of the country.
			* The game takes place at BAJA BLAST STADIUM brought to you by MTN DEW
			* SO we go to the game.
			* Deadman sneaks in a knife
			* Deadman gets a hologram with MAX WREKKER to show on the back of his suit. He has a ticker hologram that reads out info of the game.
			* MRV feels awkward. Killy dresses like a goth girl with magazine cutouts patched onto her clothes. She has a pocket full of crickets for Felix.
			** Felix has a patch around his back and a straw hat on his head.
			* Benson wants a scarf.
			* Deadman does a line of novacoke before they get in line.
			* We talk to a bookie. He says the Sentinels have a 3:1 odds for winner
			** Deadman puts down 50 NuYen, MRV puts down 1000
			*** Deadman changes his mind, puts down 1000 NuYen, too
			* Deadman suggests we talk to the bookie's boss to make sure everything is savvy. Deadman has a suspicion that there could be some... fixing in this game done by the bookies. Regardless, if we make the bet: We wanna make sure he gets his cut.
			* We take a walk with this bookie up some stairs.
			** His name is Slice. His boss is named Cycle. He's "THE BOOKIE" for the Baja Blast Stadium brought to you by MTN DEW.
			* Deadman susses out why the odds are in the Sentinals' favor. He thinks the people of Denver might push some money mid-game into the match to give the Sentinels a bit of help.
			* Deadman gives the bookie the money, making sure Slice gets his cut.
			* We get escorted to our seats.
			* The seats are LAVISH.
			** We make plans to influence our odds. Definitely.
			** We get food (A filet mignon, asparagus, and a NeoDietCoke)
			* The game starts
			* We eat. We fuck with the high rollers.
			* A rich dude talks to us, wants to know us, wants to maybe bet some... stuff on the game.
			* The Sentinals win, the rich man congratulates us. Hopes he cna see us again.
			* We run into Slice and head to see Cycle, drinking champagne.
			* We get 3600 NuYen (already minus the service charge)
			* Cycle says we should come back, deadman sends over his contact info and says to let them know if there's a "good game" coming up.
			* Deadman COMPLETELY forgot to buy Benson a scarf (as we knew he would)
			** BUT HE'S GOING TO SPACE CAMP BAYBEEEEE
			* He pays the 150 nuyen for the steak.
			* NEXT TIME. WE GO INTO THE MAWS.

			* We take the pod to an Andretti burn house, not that secure, but not Deadman's apartment.
			* We get into an old freezer in the back of a restauant.
			* MRV checks out the pod to see if there are any trackers or disabling devices
			* The pod has plants and a lizard inside it.
			* They debate on what to do with this pod, Killy texts the robot man at EVIDENCE
			** She really wants to save this lizard, but also figure out what these plants are.
			* The robot fella shows up, we don't know his name.
			* We don't know what to do with these plants. We ask the robot guy to help get this stuff out. Killy is a little awkward.
			* We find out that this robot's name is Gene. He was on Jerry's list.
			* He doesn't know who Walter Ma is.
			* We ask about what to do with the pod, but we could probably return it for... some money?
			* Gene wishes that we would continue with the investigation.
			* But who knows more about this stuff?
			* Gene knows someone, he sends us a data squirt with this woman's info.
			** It's the "Social Profiler" page for Holly Hell. She's a rockstar botonist, a human, she wears a cool band t-shirt under a ratty labcoat. Piercings, sunglasses on backwards, a bandanna around her neck. Undercut hairstyle with patterns of silver and gold cybertech.
			*** Her shirt has a tunnel on it that looks like you're looking into a void.
			* We close up the pod and bid farewell to Gene.
			* Deadman sends a message to Holly Hell, she responds quickly with a location, a restaurant in a public place.
			** Delilah's Classic Double Double Danish Diner.
			* We take a sample from the pod.
			* Cut to the diner, deadman gets a donut burger because Killy ordered for everyone.
			* Holly shows up, she's rude.
			* MRV gives her a test tube with a plant in it. She knows Jerry.
			* She also knows the lizard.
			** This is Jerry's lizard, his name is... Fella?
			* Killy, "Wait, is there some kind of gardener's mafia?
			* Holly, "We don't call ourselves that any more."
			* Before today, MRV and Deadman have never seen a Lizard or a plant bearing fruit before.
			* Deadman asks Holly what we can do to get her out of our lives and get rid of these plants?
			** "Listen, if you're gonna be in this city, you're GONNA see more gardeners."
			* She says she can help us out if we can help her out in the future.
			* MRV says, "Sure. 5k for the plants, then we're square."
			** Holly is not happy about that. She leaves.
			* Killy runs out to catch her. Gets 800 NuYen for the pod and three tickets to URBAN BRAWL.
			** Holly fuckin LIFTS the goddamn pod over her shoulder.
			* Killy comes back, and slides 1000 NuYen to the boys and the tickets.
			* And we argue about going to the game. But, Deadman says, it IS her day...
			* SO THEY GO TO THE GAAAAAME
			** Sentennial City Sentinals vs Lakewood Lightening

			As a reaction when an attacker makes a ranged
			attack against you and misses, you can attempt a Bluff
			check to redirect the attack toward a different target.
			The new target must be adjacent to you and within line
			of sight and line of effect of the original attacker. The DC
			for this check is equal to either 10 + the attacker’s total
			Sense Motive skill bonus, or 15 + 1-1/2 × the attacker’s CR,
			whichever is greater. You can’t take 10 on this check. If you
			succeed, the original attacker rerolls the attack roll (see
			page 243) with the same bonuses against the appropriate
			Armor Class of the new target.
			Once a creature has observed you use this feat, even if
			that creature is neither the attacker nor the new target, you
			can’t use this feat to attempt to redirect attacks from that
			creature for 24 hours.

			* We get to the button where CLUE resides.
			** Unlike the other gardens, this one seems very active
			* This is hipsterville
			* We get into the foyer and Killy tries to chit-chat with some gardners
			* We get in an elevator, heading to the top floor... nope. The basement.
			* We get into a private room, MRV hacks the computer
			* Deadman argues with Killy about why they're even doing this. She isn't sure if she should feel bad about taking info off a dead person.
			** Deadman rants about them not being cops. About how their life allows for a lot, even if it's rough. If she wants to be a lawman, she can just go join Lonestar.
			* The computer dings and MRV has found a bunch of notes from Jerry Strawberry. THE MYSTERY UNFOLDS.
			** "Where does the water in Denver come from?"
			** "Someone has been tampering with the soil / water to change the ecosystem in EVIDENCE and LEAD."
			** Jerry has been coming to CLUE to do... hidden things.
			** There is also a Penthouse garden.
			** Jerry has a list of names of people he thinks have been tampering with the garden.
			* Killy and MRV narrow down the names:
			** Jean the Gardner
			** Harrison Hewitt
			** Walter Ma
			* MRV finds a sticky note with username/password on them
			* After checking the storage closet, we head into the HUGE main room.
			** 60-70ft ceiling, huge trees cut off at various heights. Lots of mushrooms around.
			* We find a body pile... MRV and Deadman lay them out, check them out.
			** No cybernetics, nothing really worth taking. Just dead humanoids.
			* Deadman goes to wash his hands and a giant disgusting monster made of body parts explodes out of the water. WE FIGHT.
			* This thing fucks Deadman up, goo is exploding off the monster as we hit it.
			* We beat the beast and it is NASTY business
			* Killy and MRV investigate the boxes in this garden.
			* MRV finds a computer, gets past the Corporate ICE
			* He reads through the message, someone is setting up something... with these machines?
			** Tracking success in modifing the plants it is connected to...
			* In the last box, Killy finds a large bio-pod. Glass exterior, inside she sees dozens of plant samples.
			** There's also a lizard in there...
			* We steal the pod, and a dolly...
			* Deadman causes a distraction as Killy and MRV steal the pod into Benson's car.
			* MRV loads the dolly into Benson's car. We are just stealing things.
			* Killy, "Should we have killed that old lady?"
			* Deadman: "Are you FUCKING joking with me."
			* End Session

			** 400 Nuyen
			* MRV finds on the cybernetic guy he dropped off the catwalk
			** Azumuth lazer pistol
			* We find the super guns
			* Another 500 nuyen - We give that to Benson (400 nuyen after burgers)
			* Deadman finds a bag of M&M&M's - M&Ms after they merged with Marlboro cigarettes. They're M&Ms fused with nicotine. This is very much Deadman's shit.
			* We load up the guns in the car, we load up a bunch of mundane weapons in crates into the Cadillac Fargo that Benson is driving
			* MRV and Deadman have never seen guns like this before
			* We have the guns. Now we need to sell them.

			* Saint begins to part ways with us, but sends us info on The Grackle, a place where shadowrunners find jobs in Denver.
			* Deadman fights with people online about investigating The Grackle. He's a real shithead about getting info and gets mod-flagged n Shadow-Craigslist.
			** Finally, someone DMs him and says they'll go check it out for 150 nuyen. This whole ordeal takes 3 days because Deadman was such a shit online about it before.
			* Killy investigates JErry Strawberry's rooftop garden
			* Deadman gets some info about The Grackle from this surfer anonymous dude. hundreds of pictures and snap-chat-esque photos and little videos.
			** Photos of events upcoming, menus, the bar, the general layout.
			* Check in with Post, and we get another 5k nuyen each!
