Overview: The runners escort Sacristán and Jorge Rhys to a Black Chrysanthemum facility in Kowloon for a tour
A problem has cropped up when an apparently tainted batch of tempo arrives at the Black Chrysanthemums’ distribution center in Kowloon Walled City. The runners are tapped to escort Sacristán and Rhys to the site—they are provided with sashes that identify them as Black Chrysanthemums guests to the locals and warns them away. While the group makes their way through the Kowloon maze, the Smoke Circle Society launches a major assault against the center—they have mobilized a veritable army of junkies, bums, and quatters and promised each a week’s supply of drugs for each Chrysanthemum badge that they bring back.
The runners are escorting Sacristán and Jorge Rhys to that facility for a tour when the assault goes down and are caught in the building during the massacre. To buy breathing space, Hak (the Black Chrysanthemum Lt on site) hands out ampoules of kamikaze to soldiers trapped in the courtyard. The invaders are about to overcome the defenders at the gate, and the team manages to hold them back long enough for stragglers to flee into the building. A low-flying helicopter does a lazy circuit around the rooftops. During its second pass it comes in lower, dropping spiraling streamers of tear gas into the mob. Sacristán has arranged for an emergency evacuation and the team begins an exfiltration to the top of the building.
Down on the street, the Smoke Circle Society gangs move forward, pushing through the smoky tear gas. The gates come alive with autofire before their final defenders are overwhelmed. The team boards the helicopter, and escapes as chaos reigns in the streets below.
