Session 09 - The Kidnapping

What began as a straightforward missing person job for a frantic mother named Maggie Smith quickly spiraled into a tight web of corporate paranoia and personal danger. Meeting Maggie in the University District, [[Petra]], [[Knuckles]], and [[Piece]] were brought to her home, where her husband—⚖️Lazarus Security guard 🎭David Smith—revealed that their son, Leo, had been abducted, leaving behind a broken window and a pool of blood. After [[Piece]] traced the ransom note to a burner Agent activated in Old Japantown, the crew was hit with a secondary crisis: an urgent ping from 🎭Dr. Vivian Kaine, warning them that ⚖️Lazarus Security was closing in on their identities from the Continental Brands heist. Facing a ticking clock to infiltrate the 📍Lazarus Data Node alongside Netrunner 🎭Neuro, the crew tracked the burner phone to its vendor, unmasking the kidnapper as David's own corporate supervisor—Lieutenant Peter Vance—before setting off to breach the data vault and bury their tracks for good.
