PLOT
The Sentinel Project
M-02
----------
Mission:
Ares has a new security system they are calling Sentinel. Your
Mr Johnson works for the competition, and wants this project stopped
dead in it tracks. The Sentinel project is Ares first crack at
integrating an AI with rigger technology.
The Team will be hired to sabotage the system on the day it
is to be demonstrated before the Pres of Ares R&D. The team will be
hired to infiltrate base, and 'reprogram' the Android with a program
provided by the Johnson. He will hint that the Sentinel may become
disoriented by the reprogram and wander off to find a new home. *wink*
The reprogramming could take the combined effort of a rigger and a
decker if you have the players and wish to make them useful.
After breaking into an Ares R&D lab (a feat in and of itself)
the runners will discover the 'system' is a rigger's sentience trapped in
the system, then reproduced, then erased of its human memory.

Behind the Scenes:
The Mr. Johnson works for Ares. He is not in the division that
developed the Sentinel project but has a personal stake in its failure.
If it succeeds, a promotion ear-marked for him will go to someone else.
The program the players are carrying is desing to confuse the
Sentinel alright- but not is navigation- instead it is going to mess
with the vehicles targeting system- designating the President of R&D and
his entourage as hostile enemies.
Death, destruction, and corporate mayhem are sure to follow.
