Rent due. -5000¥ = 2000¥ total. A little low for comfort.

Job came up, facilitated by 4Leaf. Supposedly will help Seattle. Club 26, nightclub out in the barrens. Low class гóпник hangout. Depressingly bad. If helping Seattle is helping this place, things will go badly for who ever set this job. Would be better if club went out of business.

Note to self: Buy flask.

The political aspects of the job do not make sense and I can't make myself give a shit about them but the gist is that a governor's daughter was kidnapped. Girl (Karla Weathers) is 19, blonde, last seen in upper end nightclub called Floor 50.

3500¥ for retrieval, 2000¥+ if returned unharmed.

Karla was seen carrying purses into club and walking out without them. Could be helping deliver something, could be moving personal possessions. Met 2 men on dancefloor every visit and was escorted willingly out of the club into a heavily armoured van disguised as a regular SUV.

Called Andrei to get use of his tracker, Bloodhound. He ask for small favour. Retrieve impounded russian shipping container from Knights Errant impound lot on Seattle docks, we get mage.

Dock is apparently right next to shanty garbage stack where Albern lives. His landlord is dwarf with crane? Dwarf can open gate into impound lot if we evict tenant of his: Greg.

Greg is exploded. Unfortunate. ...Actually not all that unfortunate, but was hoping to kill him with bullets. Unfortunate.

We get shipment out, drive to Bloodhound's house. Seven foot tall human man in wolf skin with finger bone shirt. Takes us out to back- two acre forest practically ripped up from Siberian tundra.

Ritual fire is built inside large tent. Very hot, difficult to breathe. We become the astral. I am a wolf, running through stars and city streets. Bloodhound guides us, and we as a pack sniff out the missing girl. Her scent is not a smell, more a feeling. Sweet and warm, languid like caramel.

We follow it back to Tyr with Bloodhound, to a stadium. The tracking is done, and we wake up.

I hope it is not disrespectful to want to follow wolf spirit. I...have never been touched in such a way before. It feels spiritual. Strange. But it feels...good. Why, I cannot describe.

Note to self: To thank wolf, tie pine sprig in bow to caribou, elk, or moose venison, and burn. Must visit specialty butchers for these meats.

Drove to place once called Everett, out in the barrens, where there is a stadium that matches the one we saw in our dreams with Bloodhound.

Parked truck on the outskirts of town and advanced through the streets to the stadium. Entered through a loading bay door and infiltrated through the building until we got to some sort of generator room with a single technician.

Four Leaf has brilliant idea to...just go talk to them. Of course? Why did we not think of this in black ops unit? We are so foolish to just shoot gun and take life to get people to stop shooting us when we should simply ask them to stop! Genius plan. We are going to fucking die.

Son of a bitch it worked.

5500¥, 7 karma total for job complete.

THE FREIGHTER JOB

9pm, Seattle Yacht Club (Black dress establishment, fixer definitely trying to make an impression

Cargo container: GGK9902314

MISSION: Destroy cargo container aboard freight ship 'Free Taiwan.' Protect captain and escort him to harbour. Send message to matrix dropbox when finished.

Other runner teams expected, plus Tyr pirates, possible Knights Errant. Going loud is expected, but nothing too loud and dramatic that would attract additional Knights Errant attention.

+2000¥ for expenses

REPORT: Four Leaf contacted decker associate (Oracle) to hack into a (red, ugh) speedboat at the yacht club. Stole it, drove it to the hauler. Iron Fist vault/climbed up the side of the boat where the pirates were waiting in full view of the shipping containers on the bridge, 400m away. Czerno threw a thermal smoke grenade to mask Fist and Four Leaf's approach to the staircase up to the bridge, accompanied with devastating fire from her XXL panther assault cannon. Though Fist was knocked out by the pirates, they were cowed into surrender by the overwhelming force of the attack. Four Leaf brokered a cease fire, and a rescue of Iron Fist as Czernobog tossed the pirate's weapons over the side of the ship. The captain, 'Bill,' was retrieved from belowdecks and the cargo container located. Contained a playtest shipment of ultra high quality wargaming miniature models belonging to ARES, and was summarily destroyed. An approaching stealth helicopter, presumably belonging to a rival runner team or pirate backup, was taken down by Czernobog with a direct armour piercing round to the cockpit. Encountered 4 awakened humpback whales as we got back to the boat. Proved a non-concern as Iron Fist soothed them, and we were able to exfiltrate successfully back to Seattle, with Bill safely in hand. Briefly stopped by Knights Errant patrol boat, produced all necessary licenses and identification as private security and rescue team for the captain. Payment received (5000¥), job complete.

2 AP cannon rounds fired, 1 thermal grenade used.

End payout: 7000¥, 6 karma total
