As the team races away from Hell's Kitchen, Jake's modified DASPâ„¢ (Duster And Sanitizer Pro) drone begins cleaning the mage's bloody vomit from the inside of the windshield and dash. Jake keeps well to a tight space in his seat away from the germs, while Carter is characteristically quiet and solemn. Rex simply props up the dead ork occasionally offering the corpse words of encouragement as to his 'pulling through' all of this.

Five minutes later finds the team deep in the Barrens of the Puyallups and away from Hell's Kitchen. The housing in the area is abandoned- Well, no longer actively maintained, anyway. There are signs of life and even occasionally a running vehicle, though none in near as good of shape a Jake's van. Fifty or seventy years ago this area was probably a thriving residential community, now the houses are homes of last resort. Odds are good that remaining here for long will also draw the attention of street gangs with little to live for whole will potentially trade their lives for a shot at owning a nice shiny van.

The body of the team's former mage is easily disposed of and the team onward to get some sleep. The job was done, the pay collected.

Jake drives of the rest of the team where they need to go and then heads back to thouroghly clean himself and his drones as well as to enact the repairs on them and buy some medicaments for disease prevention. Next several days he rides them from the safety of his van, shooting at the cans and rats skulking around. Mostly, he is in bad mood-too many lives lost, too much dirt accumulated. Good know what he may have caught.
And then the call comes...

Two+ weeks pass quickly for Jake and Rex. Both are sitting on a small stack of cash right now and have been lying low; Word is the Vory are none too happy with the team at the moment. Life goes on in the shadows though. Jake gives his van a complete, end-to-end decontamination, as well as himself. Rex just keeping out of sight.

<<@Jake, Rex [Kilroy] Guys. I got a run in progress I'd like to add you too. The pay is by objective and the team just completed objective one. They were very successful in overwhelming the opposition and I'm expecting the threat level to increase. Pay is 1,500 each for the next objective and 2,500 for the third and final. --> Contact ARO: Sam <-- >>
