Let Your Deckers Do The Walking
--------
With a nod to Micah Levy and The Powerhouse for the discussion which
spawned this idea....
THIS PLOT IDEA IS WRITTEN FOR HIGH-LEVEL DECKERS, BUT COULD BE ADAPTED.
A message is sent to the "spokesperson" of the PC group, asking them to
meet virtually at a relatively public site in The Matrix, perhaps a
specific theatre environment in The Rosebase (see previous SPRAWL
submission). Searches can show that this message, although taking a
circuitous route, originated from a mid-sized mobile telecommunications
corporation called Robins Communication Systems, Limited.
At the meet, the representative from RCSL has the persona of a grey,
boring businessman, which (in a place like The Rosebase) really makes him
stand out. He tells the group that the UCAS Federal Telecommunications
Commission is coming down hard on them, thanks to a larger rival, UCAS
Bell. It seems that UCAS Bell has some information in their posession
which could put RCSL permanently out of business, and RCSL wants to know
what this information is so that they can reorganize the company in such a
way that only a small number of assets are closed down by the UCAS FTC.
This information is very well hidden, but it _is_ known that it was
attached to a message sent privately from the chariman of UCAS Bell to the
chairman of the UCAS FTC. One of these important people, both of
whom have unlisted private numbers, has the file.
In exchange for this service, RCSL is willing to give you free unlimited
telecommunications anywhere in the world, real life or virtual, _and_ a
Matrix construct of their very own (this is like having ones' own
Internet site at no cost, only better!)
To spice up the adventure (and leave room for non-Decker characters),
the GM should add in the need to break into various places to get
passcodes and other information.
