Briefing

President Charles Ellison is hosting his annual New Year's Eve Ball at his lavish mountain chalet in the Sierra Nevadas, and F.A.T.E. is invited. The guest list is a who's who of power players in the Technocratic Party's circle, including some people on F.A.T.E.'s radar. Guests include the embattled Senator Yasuji Shimada, the president of Shiawase CFS Manami Coltrane, and president of MCT California Michael Edison.

It's rare to have personal access to corporate elites at this level, let alone more than one of them. F.A.T.E. wants to use this opportunity to build a profile on these two regional presidents. Both Coltrane and Edison's companies are under intense scrutiny for their involvement in the Golden Gate Bridge events and the mana devices. Agents are to obtain as much information from their targets as possible: copied keycards, voice recordings, DNA samples, retina scans, fingerprints, etc. could all prove valuable in the future.

Expect the finest champagne, extravagant ballroom dancing, and mingling with some of California's most powerful players. Dress to impress!

Notes

• Manami Coltrane, age 30, is the only daughter of Nigel Coltrane, a 4% shareholder of Shiawase Corporation. She is half-Japanese half-Californian human, unmarried, a home-schooled genius (perhaps with the help of some expensive bioware), and an accomplished violinist. She can be equally cold and ruthless, skills she picked up as she climbed the management chain at Shiawase. There was no doubt there was some nepotism at play in her rise to President of the CFS Division (though she would never admit it). She is known to enjoy dancing and skiing.
• Michael Edison, age 64, worked his way up to his position from one of Mitsuhama's lesser known security divisions. He is made more of cyberware than human flesh. Both legs and his left arm are cyberlimbs, along with many other modifications. The reasons for this are not known. Through some reconstructive surgery, his face appears normal, though a closer examination reveals cyber enhancements such as eyes and ears. He is known to enjoy gambling and wine.
• Senator Yasuji Shimada has apparently survived the calls for his resignation so far and is planning on attending the ball.
• Security at the ball is going to be tight. Many of the big wigs have their own security detachments and bodyguards, along with the government security on the premises. Try to avoid making a scene.
