We began in hot pursuit of the three people (Martian Ruster, Martian Alpiner, and a steel morph). The three attempted to get into a parked air car, but that escape vector was blocked when Fatu rammed our rented air car into theirs. Fatu, Joe Corso, Atrimedes, and Scoob hopped out of our air car, and a chaotic running gun battle broke out between the two parties.

Scoob, who seemed shaken up by everything, lost his cool, and lept at Joe Corso, but Corso was able to dodge out of the way. The person in the Ruster began to run down the road with the person in the Alpiner, so Atrimedes began to run after those two. The steel morph remained at their damaged air car, and began to fuck everyone up with seeker missles. He detonated some EMP rounds, taking Corso, Fatu, and Azif off the mesh. He also detonated some more conventional HEAP (high explosive armor piercing) rounds, badly hurting most of our party (including Scoob, who was knocked unconscious).

The running gun battle continued up the street. Atrimedes got shot by the Ruster with the pistol, but continued on. He was about to take out the Ruster and Alpiner, but got delayed when the person wearing the Alpiner hacked into his systems. Finally, however, he was able to pulp the Ruster with his shredder.

Something bad (for the party) occured at this point, however: we noticed that the Ruster's stack made a popping/sizzling noise: the stack (presumably belonging to Rajesh) had destroyed itself. Azif, realizing out primary objective had just self-terminated, made his was out of the battle, and attempted to contact Mr. Chan.

The gun battle continued, but, finally, we were able to drop the person in the Alpiner, and the person in the Steel morph.

So, three very wounded party members, plus their injured babboon, stacked the two remaining corpses, and made their way out of the area.

Azif was told by Chan to "clean up" the scene, so he but out a mass hit on all the witnesses in the area.

Our objective kinda-sorta fulfilled at this point, we began to dispere.

Epligogue

• The version of Rajesh we were after was perma-dead. He would presumably wake up, from backup, after some months.
• The person in the Steel, Ndidi Schneider, was put into Azif's dungeon server.
• The person in the Alpiner, Grace Dawo, was also put into Azif's dungeon server. Upon questioning, she revealed that Rajesh had grown up in the same Lost cohort as Azif. She also revealed that Rajesh was part of some secret organization, and also, besides that, was a big-time reclaimer.
• Mr. Chan was satified enough with our perfomance to not call hits on us all. He remained in the background for awhile, passively keeping eyes on the party, making sure none of us went public with what we had learned
• Azif, learning about Rajesh's connection to his past, decided to attempt to hunt down Rajesh's new instantiation
• Joe Corso, who was not informed that Rajesh was a big-time reclaimer, decided to stick around as Azif's bodyguard
• Fatu Meaole, horrified by the mass hit Azif put out on the bunch of witnesses, wanted nothing more to do with the party after getting paid. He drove off into the sunset.
• Atrimides continued his studies on smart animals, and awaited the arrival of the giant spider from the scum swarm (inhereted from Crow, who was perma-dead)
