PLOT
Project GoldBird
Y-01
--------
The characters are contacted by a Mr. Johnson, preferably one with
connections in the chemical industry or something. He offers them
the usual amount of money for them to go in and steal a prototype

"It's a prototype device created by the GoldBird team. We don't
know what it looks like or how big it is."

Teams that conduct investigative work beforehand will discover
that the company financing Project GoldBird (I used Biogene) does not
usually conduct research into this field. The goal of project
GoldBird is to somehow refine impure substances and separate them
into their raw elements. However, the company that owns Project
GoldBird usually does research in genetic manipulation and such.
Characters will not be able to learn much more than the above
information concerning project GoldBird.

When the team finally breaks into the bowels of the Project
GoldBird facility they will find a locked vault, supposedly
containing the GoldBird prototype. Inside is a caged goose - hooked
up to an electronic watering/feeding system, and that's all. This
goose is the GoldBird prototype (and it lays gold eggs). Characters
touching the goose will find that they cannot let go, and it is
possible for the whole team to be stuck together in a big line (just
like the old fairy tale - GMs should be sure to have fun with this).
