A biotechnology company hires the PCs to break into an Aztechnology lab and retrieve a sample and a computer file about a "metavirus" which (unknown to the PCs) can transform humans into all kinds of strange animals. This should go relatively easily, but the PCs get into trouble when an Alamos 20,000 faction starts interfering. The PCs then go into the sewers under Tacoma where they run into a group of orks living there since the Night of Rage of 2039. These agree to help the PCs but only if they go back into the lab and deliver one of the research staff to the orks.
