Had to get their asses to Japan (either using the tickets provided, which means no guns, or find their own way over - Crazy Edddie Li, the pirate / nomad, gets on the phone and keeps up a line of chatter from the East Coast to the West Coast and finally secures a boat from San Francisco to Tokyo). When they hit the streets of Tokyo, through mobs of protesters, a nano-war, and indignant taxi cab drivers, they get the job. Seems someone's daughter ran away from home. But to make it worse, she broke into her father's prototype lab @ Yamaha and stole his new prototype bike. Now, the prototype has a brand new super-battery on it and every other corporation wants it. The team works the streets of Tokyo for 2 days until they find where the bozozuku gang that the girl hangs out with is based. In a daring daytime hit, they grab the girl and wipe out most of the bozozuku while still in an arcade. They hit the road just before Tokyo PD arrives with their Power Armor and Helicopters. Seems random acts of violence are not as tolerated here as in good old Night City! The team makes contact with dad, and settles down for the night where they can let things cool down a bit before making the run. The techie checks out the bike and doesn't find any super-battery at all. Turns out that daddy was lying to cover his ass. A quick run to the DataTerm confirms suspicions that the bike is nothing special, but the stock value of Yamaha is going through the roof over news of the stolen super-battery, and dad just sold off all of his shares because he knows the bike is about to come back home and it won't have the battery. But the REAL problem is that the other corporations don't know this. And they are still hunting for the bike. Two encounters with Shugo-Mitsubishi operatives later, the players finally ditch the bike and the girl with dad, and try to run for cover. ... Now, the players have the money, and the bike is gone. And Shugo-Mitsubishi, Rolls Royce, and at least five other corps are looking for them to find out what they did with the battery. Yamaha at least has figured out that dad was lying and dad is now on the run too, but much richer, so Yamaha isn't trying to hunt down the team too.</blockquote>
