== Session Notes ==

=== 5/12/2018 ===

* The gang heals
* Deadman ups his Blades from 4->6
* We clean out the basement of C-Bone's new building.
* We take a week to recover and plan.
* We discuss the plan to kill the Archduke, Doc doesn't want to kill civilians
* We want to bomb the Archduke in the Detroit city center, but... we need to sneak in. It's gonna be hard.
* Killy begins researching The Archduke
* She finds an photo from a few months ago with the Archduke in the background.
* The photo features Ares and Mitsuhana making a deal--Mr. Green and Mr. 2 Million dollars are shaking hands
* Orphan says it will cost us 30K to get the fake sins + car + license
* Meet up with a contact of Doc's, she used to be a fighter?
* MRV has "contacts" in getting a bomb, but it will be from an armory which is high profile
* Contact (Loudmouth) gives us a job to go mess up a dude who has been cheating in fights by using magic (a small amulet).
* Dude's name is Cereal, he's a human.
** Augmentation is allowed in these fights, but not magic.
* MRV and Deadman sneak around the side of the Gym where Cereal is at
* After some investigation, MRV disables the camera inside and Deadman picks the lock into a breakroom
* MRV grabs some stereroids out of someone's bag
* They find an office, empty -- all paper
* We decide to not to approach Cereal
* Doc talks to him quickly, turns out Cereal knows Doc
* Cereal leaves, Deadman follows him to his apartment.
* Doc does some investigation of the place after taking a taxi over with Killy and MRV
* We decide to wait until nightfall to break in and steal the amulet around Cereal's neck
** The backup plan is to beat the guy and take it (not a good plan)
* We find out the area where Cereal lives is NOT gang territoy
** Lots of police presence.
* We begin to case the apartment. MRV checks for security cams, Doc heads down an alley way.
* We decide to wait until night to break in to the place. We get schwarma while we wait.

* Deadman and Doc fight some dudes in a hallway on the second floor
* We sweep the building, Doc moves all the bodies (alive and dead) to the first floor
* C-Bone and his dudes arrive to help take care of the leftover dudes
* Killy investigates a side room, which is an office. Lots of BADLY formatted spreadsheets.
* Doc tells some of the survivors "Hey, clean up your life, kid," as he bandages them.
* Killy, MRV, and Deadman head to the basement to the big sturdy door down there
* In the basement, two guys are making drugs. They're contractors.
* Deadman gets one guy's contact information
* They tell the guys to leave, C-Bone gets their contact info
* We negotaite to take half the basement as a hideout ("YOU HAVE GAINED A NEW HIDEOUT")
* Gain 30K nuyen TOTAL / 4 = 7500 nuyen each
* (contact with C-Bone goes up by 1)

* We have info for Amina, so we need to drop off info to her after business closes at 6:30
* And then fuckin Leslie shows up. From Deadman's past
* Deadman is exasperated. He... cannot believe it. She's here. She has the watch.
* Leslie says it's time to take down the Archduke.
* She's disapointed in what she sees
* Deadman apologizes. He was lazy. He wanted to forget everything, but he couldn't. He wants to do right, but he kept putting things off and off and off...
* Deadman formulates a plan, says they need a few days to rally troops.
* Leslie says The Archduke has been doing this for '''4 years''' in Detroit. This explains a lot.
* She leaves, Deadman and crew go to drop off their data (MRV +Killy to ares data, Deadman to Amina)
* Everyone gets paid 6530 nuyen
* Gang asks about Deadman's ghostie... Deadman doesn't know much other than it's there
* So, how do we kill the Archduke?
** HAMMAH is kind of our man for this
** We're gonna need to scope the guy out -- find out when and where he's gonna be, what kind of meetings he's taking, etc.
*** Leslie may be able to help with this
* We need:
** Fake Sins (Orphan), a painted car (Hammah?) + Fake license?
** We need a bomb - Slapdash says we can rob an armory
** Money - C-Bone has a job paying 15-20K or more?

=== 5/29/2017 ===

* Go from the elevator to the southeast warehouse. FInd some thumbdrives with programs on them
* A troll shows up. Missing a horn. She's a friend of Dynamite's. Also a healer?
* She fights with her hands and she hates the Cutters.
* MRV goes the the southwest warehouse, the RED is there with The Spider and about 13 other guys
* We plan to make a distraction in the northeast tower via Dynamite and Nikolai to get those dudes out
* Killy reenables the system directly from the host which is in this warehouse
* Nikolai and Dynamite leave, set explosives and GO
* Killy sets off the alarm, a bunch of the dudes leave and we go in to kill the Red and find the Hard Drive
* We bust in.
* Fight ensues. Doc goes after Red. Deadman fights some lieutenants, but instead intimidates them
* The lieutenants get scared off, Red gets incapacitated
* Deadman wakes Red up, asks him about the HDD and Dylan Foster
* Foster ran errands for Red. Didn't know the HDD was stolen
* Deadman kills him. Shoots him in the head, then, since he doesn't die, unloads the rest of his clip into the man's chest.
* We drag the body out, kill the last restrained lieutenant
* Doc and Deadman go to find Dylan Foster, Deadman beats a guard down and takes the tortured Foster out
* We rush back to the car to meet Dynamite and gang
* Dylan doesn't have any eyes
* We cash in Red's body - 34,500 Nuyen - with a contact that MRV has in law enforcement
* We pay Dynamite, Lilly, Doc, and Nikolai 5000 Nuyen
* We have 62,500 Nuyen from Mirror
* '''25,665 Nuyen each at the end.'''
* '''12 Karma'''
* Now we need to collect the 2mil from Mr. 2 Million for the hard drive

* Deadman comes home, 4am, drops his keys, eats the leftover dumpling, drops the orange and cherries on the table, grabs a whiskey and a cigarette, lights a candle and sits down.
* The light grows, then the candle goes out and smoke forms the shape of SOMETHING
* A voice deeper and older than time says "Anthony. It's time to make a deal."

* Doc leaves Dylan Foster at the medical facility. We'll find him next time...

* We arrive at a back parking lot of an abandoned casino area to meet Mr. 2 Million
* He's here, in a sleek sedan
* They weren't gonna pay us. They were never gonna pay us.
* They ambush us. So, I ask the spirit to stop them from doing that. Please.
* The spirit hold them, then asks for clarifiation of what to do next...
* "Kill them all," Deadman says.
* The parking lot explodes into blood.

=== 3/4/2017 ===
* C-Bone couldn't find anything about Robert Green, but he warns that the Cutters are out in force tonight and are moving further out of the Barrens.
* We see The Red out with The Cutters tonight
** Bounty: 35K Dead, 30K alive
* Yeah, they have the HDD, they're selling it to the Cutters (after some discussion)
** Dylan Foster (from The Slicers) says The Red is on the list of names in the HDD
* The gangs (The Cutters) don't want to work with the corps
** They used to be "run like a business" but when their leader died, they became more focused on reputation and less on money
** Because they're from the Barrens, you get a bad rep for helping corps that created these bad situations
** Old leader: Blake
* Testers of Project Titan: The Red, The Host, Damian Knight
* The Cutters see our drone, take the HDD and leave (killing some of the Slicers)
* We get an address of where to go into Barrens territory.
* Talking to Dynamite, we hire on two runners to help go get the HDD (5000 NuYen per person)
** Lily, from the highway job, driver, has a car
** Nikolai - New dude, mage
* I find a place to store my car in The Barrens where it can be secure but able to getaway
** Well lit alley way in The Barrens
* We arrive at a burger joint called The Hindenburger to meet Lily
* Deadman orders a Flaming Chocolate milkshake. And it takes forever.
** With extra cherries, offers one to Killy. Everyone else declines
** The cherries are gross.
* We meet Nikolai, who is a very handsome elf mage, meets us and we go over a plan
** Our cover is we're looking for The Red for the bounty, but we want to grab Foster and the HDD
** If we save Foster, we can try to get a favor from The Slicers
** The HDD is our primary goal
** Getting The Red is a nice benefit
* We decide Mirror should go in invisible
* Mirror gives Deadman 10 APDS (armor piercing rounds) for his gun
* Mirror sneaks in, find a ghost (who tells us that HE'S looking for The Red)
** Also tells us that the place is low-staffed
* Mirror sneaks in again, goes into a tower, kills a dwarf
* Everyone else sneaks in, goes to the tower and the guards chime in via radio about what's happening
* After some back and forth, they decide to send in some dudes to check
* Meanwhile, MRV is hacking their system against a spider and kicking butt
* A fight ensues. We kill all who approach the tower.
* Then a convoy rolls in.
* After a moment of gunfire, Mirror is killed.
* After a moment of preparation, we ready ourselves, sans Mirror
* Taking the elevator, we descend into madness

=== 01/28/2017 ===

* Fat Lee (Harrison Lee) - Troll
** Lots of disappearances, mostly having to do with the New Gang - The Slicers - Fat Lee thinks its them at least
** He wants our "real" names
** Gives us magic tea to find out information about the missing people on Golden Street by infiltrating Terminus to see what the Slicers are about
** Fat Lee indirectly gives us an address that ISN'T terminus to check out
*** A cafe called "CafeTM"
*** And, just like terminus, this place looks like a Host in the matrix (all black and square)
**** Deadman thinks it's pretty lame
* MRV discovers a chatlog of two members of The Slicers, they found a guy and a thing on him
** One of the folks might be Dylan Foster? Post most recent Matrix crash. e-sports guy.
* Everyone decides to use Deadman as bait to try to get picked up by The Slicers
* But the gang ends up knocking out the kidnappers and find a cyborg
* The dude has no memory, save one IMPORTANT file
* He has info on Project Omega - aka Project Titan
* He replays a memory... the Archduke is the person being lead around a factory
* And the Slicers took this cyborg's main hard drive... back to Terminus
* Find a bunker under Terminus, knock out all the dudes
* The HD isn't here. It's been transported to a trade deal with the cutters
* Robert Green (e-sports dude) is the person we're looking for. Sent a message to C-Bone to see if he can find any info on the guy.
* Find a drone watching over the eventual deal
* Decide to rob the place and get a pile of loot, then watch over the deal, then rob the Cutters after they take it.

=== 11/26/2016 ===

* Knocked over a Humanis truck - super secure

* End up meeting with "Johnson" aka "Mr. Two Million Dollars" at ''The Pitch'' on Tuesday
* He gives us a job: Get some information from the Mitsuhana Double Helix Building for Mr. Two Million Dollars' "Project Omega"
** The information is being held by a man from the same corp as Mr 2 Million - we have a picture of this guy
** He went missing, and now we gotta find him
** The Goal: Get the info, get the guy if possible (not necessary) by Friday

* Mitsuhana is a tech company focused mostly on computers and biotech for metahumans
** The Double Helix building is focused on biotech for metahumans
** Many people go to work for this company and disappear (transfer or... worse)
** Employees are under strict NDA, some getting implants to prevent them from spilling information (Tech NDA)
** Double Helix building is 30 floors

* Dynamite has info, so the gang goes to meet him on Wednesday

* The group ends up at Dynamite's dojo: The Turtle Dojo (so aptly named after the TMNT, the great fighters of old)
** Here they met Felix Alvarez, a HUGE Troll who works at the dojo and is friends with Dynamite
** Dynamite's real name is Francis

* The gang heads to Terminus (owned by the Slicers) to try to find some info, but it's closed

* They head to meet The Dragons at their fancy restaurant, The Lucky 7, with Dynamite
** After looking over the busy restaurant (it's lunchtime), they head to a backroom and run into... Fat Lee, a lieutenant of the Golden Lotus (a gang they're trying to avoid)
==== Other ====

* '''C-Bone''' is an old gang acquaintance of Deadman's.
** This guy is loyal to Deadman because in the past, Deadman split from a run with him to help C-Bone's wife get to the hospital
** They keep up nowadays via email and pictures with updates on their life
** C-Bone and his wife now have two 3-year old children
** Sometimes Deadman gets invited to dinner
