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.

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.
