Game 2 - Life on the Edge

A Life on the Edge

Having earned a good reputation by helping out the Aldecaldos and freeing Komand, Anton arrived at the Cybar with a gift from the Nomads and a promise of work for the operators, especially the Netrunners.

Linears and Events of note

• Anton brokered a job from an investigative journalist was trying to dig up information on dodgy practices in the lucrative implants market
• There was a break-in and heist at Samson Components, where they harvested a load of data and took it back for handover.
• The Faceless
• A group of the Faceless appeared in the Cybar, looking for recruits.The Operators were highly sceptical but under the pax things passed off peacefully and while things were tense the Faceless seemed genuinely unthreatening, if unnnerving.
• Restock the Doc
• Florence Knightingale recruited several Operators to head to her usual supplier, one of Blackbeard's Boys and collect supplies, which passed off without incident.
• Squaddies ahoy
• With the Cybar operating a Null Field that disrupts communications and navigation it is extremely unlikely for anybody to find it unless shown the way. Nonetheless a large company of Militech Enforcers out on a training mission stumbled into it.
• Things were tense from the off, Militech should not know about the Cybar or have its existence noted anywhere.
• Not unexpectedly the Operators turned on the the Militech Enforcers.
• One Militech Enforcer, 'Millie', swapped sides.
• In the aftermath, unsure what to do with the bodies, the Operators paid some fisherman to get rid of them at sea.
• Smash and grab
• 'Millie' explained that she had been wanting to get out of a punitive Militech Contract for some time and that if the Operators helped her expunge her record then she'd lead them to a poorly guarded installation where choice military hardware was available for the taking. Access to Militech systems would also mean they could wipe the existence of the Cybar from the records.
• With the deal done a raid was planned on a Militech compound and on arrival there were a number of XK missiles sat for the taking, a real payday.
• The Operator Netrunners managed to bypass the anti-tamper on some of the XKs but one attempt failed and the missile was launched. What the pre-programmed strike co-ordinates are was not know but is certain to cause heat to somebody.

Game 1 - Welcome to the Cybar

Welcome to the Dark Future

Our story started at an Aldecaldos (Nomad family) gathering. There was talk that Matt Reacher one of the lead Scouts for the clan had made a discovery and time was of the essence to make the most of it.

What he'd found was a local Biotechnica site that had a damaged transport vehicle with a large collection of cyber limbs loaded waiting for shipping. These could get enough money to see the Nomads through the next few months. 

They put out a call for a Netrunner to break through the ICE and any security on the vehicle.

This was answered by Nolan P Cooper. He wanted access to Biotechnica for his own reasons and was willing to use the Nomads for security while he did. He had long been researching consciousness upload and had realised breaching one of their local research facilities would give him enough data access to make an attempt at digital immortality but it would mean leading the Nomads on a merry dance setting up the necessary data links.

Cooper's disruption of the first nodes’ data flow, flagged the interest of Biotechnica's area command program (Komand) which was looking for a trip in the opposite direction.

The Komand Program was a person who had their consciousness transferred to the net but then was reprogrammed to become the controller for Biotechnica security in the local area. Komand's reprogramming has been slipping and they have been trying to break out for a long time.

Only one transfer was possible in the time available and the operators were faced with a tricky decision.
