Session 1 Character Development Question:

Describe your characters appearance in detail.

Shadowrun Campaign: Revenge of the SlaughteredSession 1: So it begins...

The cold, mountain, autumn air o Denver whistles acrossthe street as you pull the note out o your pocket.

An abrupt message, Meet me at the Street Rose Lounge7pm sharp, i you want real work. Ask or Stilletto, isscrawled on the piece o paper you ound under your door theday beore. You put the note up and walk in.

Once inside, you are struck with a pleasant floral scent mixedwith various flavors o cigar smoke. A thin haze lingers in theair as sot jazz plays rom various speakers throughout thebar. You make your way past several tables to the bar.

A tall man o asian descent dressed in a white and blacksuit, stands behind the bar wiping out a glass mug. Behindhim stands a large cabinet o liquor and an equally largecabinet o various types o cigars. You approach him andask or Stilletto. In one motion he points to a booth at theback o the bar with a single pendant light illuminating itand then snaps his fingers. Two burly, orcish types dressed inblack suits lunge at you rom the shadows. Beore you canreact, one binds your arms while the other risks you downor weapons. Ater they liberate you o any and all items otheir choosing they hand you a key and shove you towardsthe booth.

As you approach the booth you see two more large menflanking the booth on each side. Peering into the booth you

see an attractive, asian woman in her late twenties. She isdressed in a black pinstripe suit with a white flaired collaredshirt. In one hand she holds a cigar alot and the other atelephone or microcomputer.

You introduce yoursel. She acknowledges you and motionsor you to sit on the opposite side o the large booth. Thetwo guards glare at you as you move towards the end o thebooth. Just then someone else steps up behind you.....

Each hero arrives at the bar in the sequence they volunteer

to answer the development question until all are seated or

standing around table. Stiletto wastes no time in explaining

the job she has summoned each of them here to accomplish.

Welcome to all o you. I have chosen each o you due toyour unique talents and reputations in Denver.

I you choose to go on this run, the payof is three thousandeach. I one o you doesnt make it back, his or her take willbe divided among the rest that return with the goods.

Now onto the job. A short time ago, this man,(she pushesa photo orward), Carlisle Biggs was kidnapped rom one oour development labs. He is the lead scientist on a highlyclassified project or us. We believe he was kidnapped by thisman, (she pushes another photo orward), Onashi Kie, anUCAS secret orces agent. We also believe Carlisle has beenbrainwashed into working or the UCAS and continuing hisresearch under their eyes. He would never work or that scumunless it was against his will. So I wouldnt believe anything

he says until you get him back here or deprogramming.

We need you to get him back. Questions?

Stiletto will answer any surace questions but will not go intoar detail. She knows nothing o the location and situation thatBiggs is being held.

Upon exiting the bar you hear someone yelling rom thealleyway to the south.

I the heroes attempt to help they will run into 3 thugs

assaulting an older gentleman and mid-twenties woman.

As you tear around the corner o the building you witnessthree unkept orcs battering an older gentleman, crumpledup on the ground. A woman in her late twenties screams orhelp rom behind the fight, against a dumpster.

Crossing Borders

As a city o 4 nations, getting around Denver can be trickybusiness. Sometimes a coyote contact can help the team acrossa border. Other times a border crossing may be an integral parto the adventure. Oten, however, crossing the border is just aminor step in completing the run and part o another day in thelie.

To quickly simulate a border crossing, have all characters make a

quick test o Fake SIN Rating + Charisma + Etiquette. Thresholdon the test is TR/2 (round-up).

On a ailure, the PC will need to pay a 300 bribe to get acrosssaely. I the PC glitches, Shadowrun Missions Thrash the BodyElectric 5 the passage ends up taking longer than intended,and the character needs to spend 300 on a bribe. On a criticalglitch, the PC loses one piece o orbidden or restricted gear, andmust spend 500 on a bribe.

I the whole party is attempting to cross as a group, use aTeamwork test (SR4 p59) or the border crossing. In the evento a glitch or critical glitch, all players will sufer the previously

mentioned consequences.

Terabyte Research Compound

Terabyte Research is a weapons contractor located on anartificially created island in the Aurora Reservoir. Usuallyapproached only by helicopter this heavily guarded installationis the place where the UCAS conducts most o its high-endweapons research.

The island has only one other access to it. A monorail systemthat runs rom the mainland to the island twice a day. Once inthe morning and once in the evening. Those who work ater thedesignated work hours are transported via helicopter.

Security

Security is in-house.

Starting security levels:

Physical Security: All o the sites interior doors are reinorced.(SR4 p.157)The site has perimeter lighting, security guards atexterior entrances, and on-site security guards that patrol on afixed schedule.

Technical Security: Rating 3 maglocks are on interior doors andthe ront ence gate, and rating 5 maglocks on exterior doors.Both have thumbprint scanners and an RFID scanner to pick upthe signal rom the employees ID badge. Closed circuit TVcameras monitor the loading dock doors and the driveway at theentry guard shack, but not the personnel exterior doors. Thereare no interior camera systems.

Magical Security: Cyclops Security has a mage on call as needed.He will arrive via astral projection once he receives an alertrom the security orces on site.

Matrix Security: Corporate hackers doubling as security hackersmonitor matrix systems during the day. At night, thesecorporate hackers are on call. See a typical RMD hacker in theCast o Shadows section. Additional matrix details can beound in the Casing the Target Matrix section above.

Personnel Security: The personnel department conductsbackground investigations o new employees, including creditand criminal computer checks, and interviews with the most

recent previous employer and 1-2 riends. While there areno current job openings, i PCs somehow manage to talk theirway into an interview, theyll need a solid ake ID. Once theacility has been hit, the ollowing additional measures will betaken: I the prior incident involved magic, the security mage will binda Force 5 earth elemental and 3 Watchers on site to patrol. The guard at the ence perimeter will be doubled, and within36 hours the controls or opening the gate will be moved to thecentral security o ce instead o the guard shack. The guards will be outfitted with Remington 990 shotguns w.flechette ammunition and a smartlink. Outdoorsat night, they will be wearing lowlight goggles w. flare comp.

The outdoor patrols will occur randomly. I an attack occurs through the matrix, the system will betaken o ine when the corp hackers are not on site (at night). 2 GM-Nissan Doberman drones (SR4 p.341-2) will be active,both outside during the day, and one inside / one outside atnight. These are additionally equipped with Clearsight 3 andTargeting 3 autosots, white light spotlight, and a microturretwith an HKMP- 5 TX (40 regular rounds). Recoil compensationis 2.

I the TR is 3 or greater, apply this increase to security. I theacility is hit a second time, Cyclops security adds a reactionorce: Chrysler Nissan Patrol 1 w. a Cyclops Security executive

protection driver and 3 security guards. One o the guards willman a pintle-mounted Ingram White Knight LMG with explosiverounds. The Ingram is welded to a roll bar just in ront o the sunroo on the Patrol 1, allowing the guard to stand on the centerconsole and fire the weapon. The security mage also nowremains on site, and wards key areas as time allows, startingwith the central security o ce.
