Medschool Malarky

We got asked to go to LA (again) after Jynx Talked to Voidbit, but then it turned out that the Dawnchasers ended up getting wrecked. Several of their members were badly injured. And, of course, there's some fragging med students missing in the barrens.

So we ended up needing to go find them. And, of course, there's a little busload of them (38 in total). So we end up talking to the Dean of UCLA med school, and she offers us cash to make sure that no one finds out that the kids aren't alright. Fine. The Gangs of LA aren't the worst, but there's some racists who are gonna shoot before thinking, there's Orks who aren't gonna be excited to have med students wandering around, and there's just the Burning Angels who are not gonna be a bad. But good.

Revàn and I send out some spirits, and we actually end up finding the magical kids, in a group of 20, in a standoff with the Los Verdugos. Silk and I figure out that the Los Verdugos are there for a drug deal, and found 20 fraggin' kids in their doss. So - yeah - we work things out. Get the kids back to their dorms, and tell them they're gonna be shot by scary gangers if they don't fraggin' keep their mouths shit.

Now to find 18 more kids. Lost. In the Barrens.

Holy drek. Babysitting is better. --10:56, 14 April 2021 (EST)

Hey at least the mages had some street smarts to get some firepower on thier side (or at least demonstrate that they were worth a second consideration) or else they were probably filled with bullet holes by the time we got there. — Revàn^(Talk) 00:04, 16 April 2021 (EST)

Yeah, the mages weren't entirely dumb. Of course, now we gotta find the second group. Without mages. --Malta^Talk 09:55, 16 April 2021 (EST)

'course the hard part is still ahead of us. Drek, we should have made a pit stop to buy a ride (EDIT: I ended up buying a bike so I didn't have to walk — Revàn^(Talk) 02:34, 18 April 2021 (EST)) so we don't have to trek across this blasted heath of a landscape. — Revàn^(Talk) 09:30, 17 April 2021 (EST)

The other half of students managed to run into a pile of Iron Cross drek and we had to go fry some people up to get them out. Turns out Amanda uncovered some damning data her father had worked with Bannivir on some experiments, which also concern Westvale and wanted out. She cast stunball on her classmates and tried to get a buyer but was getting stiffed. The dean was convinced that the incident was Amanda being extracted (we managed to intercept a Matrix message confessing this to her father) and it would be very expensive to track her down to Amazonia. In reality, we brought her to the Dawnchasers and Malta asked her what she wanted to do and offered to set her up with User:Jynx, but after we deal with some more Westvale drek. — Revàn^(Talk) 05:34, 18 April 2021 (EST)
