Boston, Massachusetts... once home to little more than colonists dumping an ass-load of tea in the water to protest high taxation while dressing like Indians/Native Americans, today it is home to megacorps, Renraku Japanacorp, Mafia, Yakuza, IHA, ghouls, gangs of every shape and size and power, and millions of the strife-ridden with but a mere handful of people well beyond anybody's rightful means.  Wrought with fighting amidst ethnicities, metatypes, crime organizations, corporations, classes, and just about anything else you can think of, with a couple of Z-zones thrown into the mix just because... and you have the home to the Eastern Financial Market based out of North Central Boston and one of the bigger trade-centers on the eastern seaboard of the UCAS.  Nobody here can really complain (though many do anyway); this place is one of the 'safer' places to live thanks to the exclusive security contract with Knight Errant, a Detroit-based security company, though that's assuming you don't piss them off or go somewhere you really shouldn't, and that's for your sake not theirs.<br/><br/>With all the the different forces at play here, and all the hands in the pot not necessarily 'so to speak' if you know a ghoul, even the poorest, dumbest, lamest sap, decker, whiz kid, or street samurai can find something to do around here...<br/><br/>...and now it's Saturday, early morning in Boston, specifically in Brookline, home to many a middle-class wage-slave and workers for megacorps like Renraku and Ares.  For Trish Legrothe, a young Japanese ganguro-esque woman working as a information courier, it's a day of freedom in her two-story home, no job, no chores... for now there was nothing to be asked of her, and since it was the start of the month, she had no bills to worry about.  As it was, it looked like she'd be free and clear.  And in an area with little crime, in her two-story comfortable housing with some rather nice amenities, even a few cleaning drones to save her work on chores, it would seem her options were the sky... for now...
