Game 4 - Waterfall

Waterfall

The Operators again returned to the Cybar to work deals and make some Eddies.

While there had been a big showdown with Maelstrom at the end of Game #3 after the Militech hardware auction didn't go WarCrimes' way everybody was back on their feet and ready for action.

Linears and Events of note

• Shady dealings
• Anton arranged a meeting between Orphan and the info broker Shades who might know more about how to get at Deutsche Allgemeine Distributed.
• Guilt trip
• A Nomad, Mary Goodheart, arrived at the Cybar asking if the operators knew of anybody that could investigate the bombing of their encampment. She had quite distressing pictures of the devastation.
• The Operators weren't very forthcoming and Goodheart began speaking to a group of Faceless that were also present.
• After Goodheart left with the Faceless the Operators came to the conclusion this might be related to the missile launch caused by them in the Militech raid in Game #2.
• Lost property
• A devotee of The Inquisition arrived at the Cybar asking for the return of a copy of their Holy Book 'At One with Body and Soul' which they believe the Operators have taken. The Operators denied any knowledge.
• Assault on Precinct 2077
• Adam tasked the players with extracting one of Scars Alice's Corporate informants, Derek Wiseman from Corporate Police custody. He is valuable to her and has access to information related to Project Waterfall.
• There was an intense gunfight with the deadlock being broken by Rusty and Spectrum engaging the guards with their new Cyber-enhanced strength, hand-to-hand. Carnage ensued.
• Along with Derek, a Maelstrom lieutenant, 'Stacks Wylde' was in the cells and he ended up dead.
• Once extracted, Derek explained that the information he was trying to exfiltrate was contained in the data banks of a new, terrifying, generation of bodyguard Drones he'd been working on at Arasaka. This is Project Waterfall. More Drones have been produced than are on the books and these are being siphoned off for sale on the black market. He provided the Operators with a means to track the Drones and hopefully recover the evidence.
• Plausible deniability
• Anton offered up another simple paying job doing a courier run for Petrochem.
• The Operators smartly avoided the opposing team sent to intercept the document case and delivered in double-quick time.
• Drones
• Unfortunately the Project Waterfall Assassin drones Derek spoke of tracked activity in the area to the Cybar and they arrived looking for him. Terrible things of Titanium, Composite and wielding monofilament blades. Perhaps they tracked the Operators on the Petrochem job, as normally Adam's Null Field keeps automated things away.
• Chaos ensued with many Operators seriously injured. Some played dead and some fled.

Game 3 - The best deal

The best deal

A large number of operators gathered at the Cybar, hoping to find out what was happening in the area.

This led to an auction and a gun deal, with a side order of personal deals going on.

Linears and Events of note

• Having stolen Militech missiles in Game #2 the hopeful operators arranged an auction of sorts.
• Bids came in from several fronts.
• Regular Fixer Anton
• Maelstrom bossman WarCrimes
• The Alchemist, a broker vouched for by Dodge
• Much to WarCrimes disgust the Operators sold to The Alchemist and he left threating consquences
• A fucking cheque???!!!
• Scars Alice has had a Bearer Bond worth significant figure in her possession but the issuing bank, Deutsche Allgemeine Distributed, won't convert it for somebody of her low creditworthiness. Seeing Henry Harcourt amongst the Operators she offered him a cut to go and 'cash the cheque'.
• Harcourt gather an escort of Operators and travelled to the nearest branch, in the midst of Maelstrom territory.
• A tense standoff occurred, given earlier events, but the Operators paid the toll and completed the transaction without drama.
• Millie’s millions
• When the Militech Patrol was wiped out in Game #2, one member 'Millie', swapped sides and joined the Operators.
• Millie had been looking for an out of her Corporate contract for some time and had a stash in the City she'd like to retrieve. She recruited a few Operators to go along.
• While there the Operators encountered The Inquisition for the first time: an evangelising  quasi-religious group opposed to CyberWare in all its forms.
• Unexpectedly the Operators killed the unarmed Inquisition members and took a copy of their Holy Book 'At One With Body And Soul'.
• Arms deal
• Adam recruited several Operators to do his regular arms supply run from his supplier Jimmy Five Fingers.
• It transpired the kit was hot and a group of Militech Enforcers were looking for him.
• The Operators discovered the Enforcers were morally flexible and for a small price got away without another round of confrontation with the Corporation.
• Missile Money
• The Operators travelled to deliver the Militech hardware to The Alchemist, as agreed.
• Fulfilling on earlier his threats, WarCrimes sent a mob of Maelstrom to intercept the hardware.
• A huge gunfight ensued and sadly the Operators were overwhelmed, with Maelstrom dragging away the spoils.
• This is the stuff blood feuds are made from in the Dark Future.
