Synopsis

(Important out of game note, the synopsis is only what Seraph is knowledgeable about, there are usually missing details in each run unless the members tell him specifically. Those details may be covered in individual reports).

The group had about a month downtime since South Prairie. During that time they mostly lived out of Wyvern Home while Artie cocooned as a wyvern. During that time there were some magical feedback from the pool, the end result of which is still unknown. What is known is that several cybersystems seem to have been lost, but not their abilities, and now Phoenix appears to be a wyvern. Once the month was over the group returned to Seattle and were ready to go after both queens.

They recieved the proper paperwork to cross the border and search out the smaller queen. At this time it was unknown where the larger queen was. The group crossed the border with only slight hassle and headed into the wildlands of the Tir. After several hours of travelling abandoned roads they came across a remote motel that was populated by some type of ex-military. The members of this group seemed to have a spider bound up as a tattoo on their left inner wrist. It was at this time it was recalled by some of the runners that they heard of some sort of terrorist/cult in the area.

Phelan, Speed and Badger checked out the motel, but found nothing else unusual until a military vehicle pulled up. Crew inside the vehicle swapped with some of those military types in the motel and left. The group also determined at this time that the “little queen” was nearby. The group followed the military vehicle to an abandoned building in the woods. There they found that the unit had tarped the building off.

The Kid broke into the unit’s files and found that the unit had captured the little queen and her hive. They were busy securing the insects when the group decided to have Kid change the military unit’s orders. The unit was ordered to hand the little queen to the group, and to execute all other insects with prejudiced. This went smoothly with the unit never once suspecting something was amiss.

On their return trip however, the group’s van was stopped by three women riding motorcyles. The women demanded the “little queen”, the group refused and combat ensued. The women turned out to be Mantid spirits and the group handily dispatched them with spirit rounds. Only minor damage to the van was done.

The group decided after this, it would be hard to transport the “little queen” and called Seraph for some support. He arranged a helicopter to transport the group to the Tacoma docks, where they released the queen to a waiting party. They then returned to The Gun and were paid. They will conduct repairs and upgrades and when they are ready they will pursue the full blown queen.
