Kidnapping of Bo

Rook learns that Conks partner Bo has been kidnapped by Rana Amariah and taken away to the Nirvana Corporation headqarters, spits out his drink in shock and directly starts planning a rescue operation. Conk seems desperate and talks to everyone about it and his wish to get her back to any cost. He is calmed by Rook, telling him that they have to do this right using the "soft-method" and without any violance in order to make sure she remains unharmed.

People storm into Rooks bar about the news looking to him about what to do.

Mayor Eric, Becky and Hatsune.

Mayor Eric offers his assistance, accepting the risk that he might die if he participated in the operation and Rook puts enough trust in him to show him the secret Shattered Legion base. Before entering he shoos away the Quixote aligned Lange and discusses how to approach the situation of Bo's kidnapping. Eric tells of a dispute going in between Quixote and Nirvana Corporation but agrees not to involve any corporates into the rescue mission. Rook suggests that Eric be the one to be the inside man to use blank fake ID cards for the operation while he supplies transport and muscle.

Plif, Alex and Faye discuss the mission

Recruiting a team

Not knowing where the captors have taken her Kythus is tasked to use his magic and try to locate Bo. Leilani sweetly asks Rook to help save her friend, wanting to help. They learn that Bo is arrested using a corporate action, not individual actions - adding complexity to the rescue meaning that if they get caught they will most probably be executed. Loch is excluded, being a wanted man, Nash offers his assistance but is denied because of his unregistered tech robotic arm, that might arouse suspicion and Kythus sticks out like a sore thumb with his "magical" appearance. An unknown girl with cat ears offers her healing abilities but is also denied.

Gathering a team suggested by the Hellbat mercenary Fandiarius Sharborough who joined in the previous rescue of Loch he along with Felix Dolore, someone named "Alex" and Faye were recruited for the operation.
