Urban Scavenger Hunt

Lone Star reports a rash of stolen hubcaps from their patrol vehicles…

Six different attempts with nine fatalities trying to steal the A from the Aztechnology Pyramid’s sign…

Four attempts to steal a section of flooring from Dante’s Inferno…

What does it all mean? Well, in case you haven’t heard by now, the latest fad to hit the Seattle shadows is the Urban Scavenger Hunt.

This latest iteration of the game seems geared towards the shadowy set and general underworld, with nearly all of the listed items and acts being either dangerous (to carry, acquire, or both), illegal, demeaning, absurd, rare or all of the above. The mysterious organizers are reportedly based out of the Puyallup Barrens, where contestants can deposit their items and receive and update their scores. As of yet, there have only been a few confirmed reports of prize wins, but bragging rights are secured via a scoreboard on the Hunt’s Matrix site.

Gangers of various stripes, shadowrunners and a number of corp brat-packs make up the majority of contestants, which has inevitably led to some groups sniping others of their scavenged items. Acts are considered safer, as only footage needs to be transmitted to the Hunt’s Matrix site, but are not worth as much in terms of score value.

As to the organizers and their purpose, no one seems to know.
<<<Dr. Spin>>>

A partial list of items and acts:
o A dinosaur bone, points assigned on size and anatomical placement
o A bandersnatch pelt
o Any sizable part from a juggernaut
o Footage of rearranging a major sign to say something obscene (additional letters must be in same style as the rest of the sign; bonus points given for creativity and boldness; ex: Relettering the "Aztechnology" building's sign into "Asstechnology")

o A moon rock
o A Mars rock
o A working mechanical grandfather clock
o A working mechanical cuckoo clock
o Leaving a dozen long haired cats locked in a CEO's office overnight.

¥20 says it’s Horizon. This sort of thing seems right up their alley.
