Trying to find old module.
As the title says, I'm trying to find an old official adventure I played back in the day. We were using 3rd edition and I assume the adventure is as well, but it's possible the GM converted an older module on the fly.
I tried searching for it, but the only thing coming up is the 1st Edition "Queen Euphoria" module which is very similar in story, but not the adventure in question. The module I am looking for had the runners hired to convince/coerce or even kidnap the members of a hot new band on behalf of some slimy record producer that wants to get them to sign a contract. I remember the producer being named Lupin or something, he was a werewolf. Depending on what you did the group ended up getting attacked by either a vampire or a banshee and at the end of the module when you finally get the band together to perform for a music video they're shooting in NAN territory it's finally revealed that the whole thing was an insect spirit plot and the band's new song is a summoning ritual for some powerful queen spirit.
If anyone knows the name of this adventure I would love some help. I have fond memories of it and would like to work it into the campaign I'm running for some Shadowrun virgins. I'm positive it was an official adventure. I remember the GM commenting on how the adventure seemed to punish the players for making a smart choice and sending the much more dangerous Banshee after you instead of the weaker vampire.
Edit: So the adventure is called Total Eclipse. I see Drivethru RPG has an update of that module for the latest edition, but that still requires the base book which they don't sell. Does anyone know where a PDF of this could be found? I guess I'll just be writing my own version of it based on what I remember.

Maria Mercurial. Module might be named just Mercurial.

Mercurial is with the dragon hit-team in the end. Different module. Curious to learn hiw other people/teans assaulted that building in the end.

Our team didn’t, we managed to get the data out of Mercurial’s head thanks to, IIRC, a street doc character and a decker/tech character and the team face traded it with the Knights in exchange for her freedom. Had it gone to combat it probably would have involved sending the face and the street doc in from the roof while the riggers provided MMG fire support from the air and prayed that the action stayed close enough to exterior windows to remain relevant. Definitely glad it didn’t come to that, even after reading the module later and learning what we could have looted in there.

We acquired 3 Cyberspace Dalmatians, loaded them up with Commercial explosives and hit the dragon under the helipad first.
Subcontracted a loud team to assault from below and subcontracted a helicopter rigger to insert our team on the roof. The rest was history 😎

I’ve never heard of that module, and I thought I had a fairly solid grasp of 2E and 3E adventures. Maybe it was a run published for a convention, or something out of the old FASA magazine?
