While the foursome - Jane, Ryan, Shannon and the Dragon Lady - appeared to be equals, it was clear who was the leader of the group.<br/><br/>Shannon put a USB drive on the table.<strong>"As mentioned, Yozhikov Ruslan Valentinovich, or Rusya, is the local head of the Bratva. Additionally, he has close ties to the SVR. He is on the radar of multiple mundane law enforcement agencies - ATF, DEA, FBI, CBP, ICE, and Homeland Security. If there is illicit money to be made, Rusya has a tentacle in it - drugs, gambling, prostitution, blackmail. His specialty is illegal imports from Eastern Europe - drugs, white slavery, and weapons. To date, he has kept his crimes on the mundane side of things, so he has flown under the radar in the Supernatural community."</strong><br/><br/><strong>"That has changed. Rusya is part of a group making a play to take over Vegas.</strong><br/><br/>The Dragon Lady coughed, interrupting Shannon,<strong>"Most cities are like a deadly game of King of the Hill. One Faction or group of Factions holding the city as others seek to usurp them. Finally, the King tumbles from the hill, perhaps supplanted by a stronger group and or exhausted from holding their position. Vegas is different. It's an open city. All are Welcome here. However, we competed economically rather than with blood."</strong>The Dragon Lady laughed a deep rasping laugh,<strong>"Every so often, someone sees us as weak, and we compete in blood."</strong><br/><br/>Shannon continued,<strong>" Moscow Towers is the Rusya's palace and the heart of his Kingdom. It's a multi-use high-rise - night club in the basement, a three-floor mezzanine of high-end shops and restaurants, luxury apartments, a private business club, and the crown is Rusya's private residence. Rusya runs his empire from there using heavily encrypted communication systems - bought or stolen from the Russian state. He also has a large vault purportedly filled with blackmail information and illegal funds. Rumor has it that Rusya has Russian Anti-Aircraft weapons on the roof to deter an airborne attack."</strong>the Dragon Lady laughed.<br/><br/><strong>"The building is heavily protected 24/7 by Rusya's private security company, which is staffed with ex-mercenaries - Russian, Chetzen, and Syrian - anyone experienced in killing and without a moral compass. By the time law enforcement could raid the place, Rusya would have moved or destroyed anything incriminating."</strong><br/><br/>The Dragon Lady smiled,<strong>"How does that old TV show go. Ah yes, your mission, should you accept it, is to break into Rusya's vault and loot it and still his encrypted communications gear. The information will likely destroy Rusya and his organization, but the message is deeper and more subtle; Rusya tampered with forces that he shouldn't and paid the price."</strong><br/><br/>Jane looked at Taryn with concern,<strong>"Rumor is that Rusya has brought in supernaturals from Russia - a pack of Werebears, and a kiss of Vampires."</strong><br/><br/><hr/><div align="center">We've Got a Problem (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=344700.0)  <br/>Characters (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=344531.0) <br/>Game Palette (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TQjkX1IbaF79Bcze6X7lX2ynGcwkx4AukKLXuqPe8WA/edit?usp=sharing)<br/>Urban Shadows Cliff Notes (https://docs.google.com/document/d/10Wjn-Pim2L0qUYcSCW7z6HzDZO0O5_1UQVbg1QWcGLc/edit?usp=sharing)<br/></div>
