The Seduction
M-02
----------
The team is going to be hired by a mid-level security executive
from some corporation (when I ran it I used MCT). Apparently there is a
leak in one of the companies think tanks and he has been put in charge of
the investigation. Well two weeks later and he still has no clues. With
the corporate hatchetman knocking at his door, he has decided to turn to
some outside help.
A corporate think tank which has been nicknamed "The Prophets"
has been very successful at predicting the rise and fall of several big
corporation stocks for some time now. This group of six financial wizards
work collectively in matrix examining corporate reports, stock market
figures, etc. Well recently, someone has begun to parallel the corp's
marketing strategy that is based on this think tanks predictions. There
is an obvious leak in the group. The runners are to find the leak and
report back to the mid-level security exec. He wants the credit for the
find and he will [ay the runners handsomely to keep their mouths shut.
So basically what we have is 6 people, at least one of which is
giving prized information away. As the team trails the 6, one very
devious financial wizard has invested a large sum of his monety in a fake
id. He has also purchased several tech toys that allow him to come and
go from his apartment un-noticed. (Be creative- I had him have a second
exit leading to a sewer designed. He snuck out to his other car which was
hidden in a garage a block away.)
So now that we have our sneak, where does he go? He likes to slum
around in a sleasy part of down. He is also a habitual frequenter of
a strip joint. Once the team tracks him there they will catch him in
the act- of being essence drained! He has been addicted to the pleasure
or E-drain and the vampire using him knows it. In fact, she has been
running this game over on several corps so far. She finds an exec, seduces
him, gets him addicted and "bleeds him dry" of information... and essence.
Along the way, she has "made" a few friends, including an ork merc who she
infected to wendigo- he is also a shark shaman and acts as her bodyguard.
Now you know, but if she knows you know, then there is trouble over the
horizon- trouble that will visit each player when they are alone... and
most vulnerable. She will go after those she thinks the weakest first-
the mundanes. Once she has them "converted" its just a big snowball
toward each team member. You have your johnson's answer- but is the trouble
following it worth the price?
