Tabitha wakes up on the operating table, staring into the big plastic grin of her attending physician, Jackson.
Jackson fails to heal her with a, "there, there now." He tries again under Dr. Bob's watchful eye and succeeds. Then gets promptly fired.
Jackson overhears Tabitha and Simon talking about a job, so he asks if he could tag along. They agree.
Tabitha finally gets a decent shower while Simon and Jackson raid the medical supplies.
They end up taking a taxi manned by a cat...er orc with a samurai sword to Yorktown mall.
They speak with a fat, sweaty lawyer who offers them a job retrieving a silver box with the numbers "0,0,0" on it from the HelpDesk Inc. main office. After some clever positioning and negotiating by Simon, they agree. Meanwhile, Jeb, on lookout, gets harassed by mall security. He sternly explains that his ginormous sniper rifle is a gift for his wife. The rentacop leaves quietly. They all jump into an armored bus manned by the same "orc" and are joined by another 4-man tac team.
They reach the HelpDesk Inc. main office, deploy, and send the tac team in first.
All the previous occupants inside appears to be cut to death.
Shortly thereafter, another team in two vans shows up. One van deploys at the front gate wearing red armor and begin a pitched battle with the tac team. The other van proceeds around back.
Meanwhile, the PCs work their way into the back. Simon gets in and starts hacking the system to try and locate the box. Tabitha is checking out the nearest likely rooms. Simon discovers a meeting about the box was scheduled in the main conference room. Jackson runs there immediately, trying to avoid the rounds and grenades being tossed back and forth at the front of the building.
Once he arrives, the room is dark. He flicks on the light to see the entire meeting group dead in their seats, the silver box in the middle of the table. Out of his peripheral vision, something drops from the ceiling.
He turns to see a female ninja wearing samurai armor. She has Tabitha's face!
