Not every Shadowrun has to deal with AAA corporations, sometimes not even A corps. Yes, sometimes when you're starting out you have to take what you can get.
The Cake Is Truth Tell It To Them Straight: You're contacted through a friend of a friend about work. Cred is running a little low and even a runner's got to eat. Your contact tells you to dress nice, the meet isn't in a typical dive. Grabbing your gear you make your way across town to the location and as it turns out your meet is in a pastry shop downtown. You walk up to the door and head inside only to find that the shop is empty save a rotund looking ork sitting in the back. Seeing your group walk in he gives a wide smile and motions to some seats at his table. "Oh good, good, I am glad you arrived," says the ork as he stuffs a cupcake into his mouth. After he finishes the small pastry he looks at it and passes the remainder of the plate over after dobbing his mouth with a napkin. "It has come to my attention that you are the kind of people that get things done," the wide smile shows as he says, "So I have a offer for you, I'd like you to get an item for me." If the runners accept the job, and they should, this is intended to be a first run the ork continues. "Very good, very good indeed. There is a chef that works for the Bittersweet bakehouse, I have heard he has had inspiration and has developed the most delicious recipe for cake ever invented. I would like for you to get this recipe for me, and make sure that no one else gets a copy." His blase expression hardens as he adds to his statement, "See to it this cake is never made after you have gotten the recipe." Behind The Scenes Xavier Powell is a gourmand and his sweet tooth happens to be ork sized. Through contacts in bake houses across the country he has found out that the head chef in the Bittersweet bakehouse has been saying that he has come up with the most delicious cake ever made. Xavier just has to be one of the first to try this new treat. What's more, he wants to be the only person ever to enjoy it. Thus he's hired the team. The team is offered 5,000 nuyen per runner to both get the recipe and to kill the chef so that no one, but Xavier can enjoy the results of his baking genius. Markus Donaldson is the target, he is the head chef at the Bittersweet Bakehouse. His address is provided, he lives in the Fayette a middle class apartment building room 404. The apartment building is downtown in the Lower Queen Anne district. If asked for more information on Markus, Xavier passes a file to the group's leader which details the chefs accomplishments. A new employee to the Bittersweet Bakehouse Markus quickly moved up to the head chef with several of his innovative creations. Viewed as a rising star in the cooking world. Markus Donaldson is a middle aged human, not registered as a magician, no cybernetics on his SIN and no criminal record. Savvy players should ask about the schedule that Markus keeps, working in an active bakehouse has the head chef leaving before dawn and coming home in the afternoon. If they do not think to ask, Xavier should point this out, "I'm sure you're not planning to leave without at LEAST knowing when you can find Chef Donaldson and where." The Bittersweet Bakehouse is located in Everett, security there is light but a high number of bakers and staff are there during working hours. |
