Hey everyone,
I feel like I lost grip of my current run with my group and I'm looking for advice on how to finish it, hopefully with some style!
Here's the gist of what happened so far :
Team got hired for an investigation run, 5 kids in a high school got their hands on a nasty drug that left them comatose, then 3 of those kids had their body stolen from the hospital.
The runners got hired by the high school principal who wants to get to the bottom of this, he runs a respectable establishment and wants to make sure it doesn't happen again. He also doesn't trust Lone Star, who are part of the investigation as well. 2 of the runners investigate the school while the other runner goes to the hospital to place tracers on the remaining children, in case they get snatched too.
The runners at the school find some traces of the drug and realize Lone Star has been trying to falsify video evidence to put the blame on a school teacher to close the case and collect their pay. The runners confronted Lonestar and were able to sneak out with the wrongly accused teacher away from the school. The other runner, on his way to the hospital, searched the matrix and discovered that the drugged kids have one thing in common, they are all children of former Halloweeners members who left the gang before their demise years ago. The runners also realize that the drug that has been used on the kids is an upgraded version of a past drug called ''Bleed'' that used to be controlled by the Halloweeners. The doctor at the hospital also reveal that DocWagon used to manufactured a counter agent for this drug, but the factory got blown up a few months ago. (It was actually a run that I did a couple months ago with my players where they got hired to blew up a factory no questions asked)
Here's where I think I lost grip : The runner at the hospital spent a lot of time asking the administrative department about purchasing and logistics, wanting to know where the hospital get their medicine supply, asking if he can meet a biochemist to synthesize a new counter agent for the drug and a lot more I won't go into details... I kind of lost patience and remembered that one of the runners asked one of his contact, a street vendor, to see what he could find about this drug. I had this contact call the runner and say he found something, the runners met with him downtown. The runners meet next to a big container, opened it and found about 20 different gangers, from different gangs all dead from the new drug inside the container. The last session ended with 3 drones surprising the runners...
Now, I'm not sure how to resolve the whole situation, I was planning on having a Shedim behind it all but it may be too out of place. The runners also have bad blood with the brain eaters gang so I was leaning on having them manipulating the whole thing and putting the blame on the Halloweeners (they got back about a year ago in my game)
Do you guys have any suggestion on how to resolve this run?
Thanks a lot!
