  • We see The Red out with The Cutters tonight
    • Bounty: 35K Dead, 30K alive
  • Yeah, they have the HDD, they're selling it to the Cutters (after some discussion)
    • Dylan Foster (from The Slicers) says The Red is on the list of names in the HDD
  • The gangs (The Cutters) don't want to work with the corps
    • They used to be "run like a business" but when their leader died, they became more focused on reputation and less on money
    • Because they're from the Barrens, you get a bad rep for helping corps that created these bad situations
    • Old leader: Blake
  • Testers of Project Titan: The Red, The Host, Damian Knight
  • The Cutters see our drone, take the HDD and leave (killing some of the Slicers)
  • We get an address of where to go into Barrens territory.

    • Well lit alley way in The Barrens
  • We arrive at a burger joint called The Hindenburger to meet Lily
  • Deadman orders a Flaming Chocolate milkshake. And it takes forever.
    • With extra cherries, offers one to Killy. Everyone else declines
    • The cherries are gross.
  • We meet Nikolai, who is a very handsome elf mage, meets us and we go over a plan
    • Our cover is we're looking for The Red for the bounty, but we want to grab Foster and the HDD
    • If we save Foster, we can try to get a favor from The Slicers
    • The HDD is our primary goal
    • Getting The Red is a nice benefit
  • We decide Mirror should go in invisible
  • Mirror gives Deadman 10 APDS (armor piercing rounds) for his gun
  • Mirror sneaks in, find a ghost (who tells us that HE'S looking for The Red)
    • Also tells us that the place is low-staffed
  • Mirror sneaks in again, goes into a tower, kills a dwarf
  • Everyone else sneaks in, goes to the tower and the guards chime in via radio about what's happening
  • After some back and forth, they decide to send in some dudes to check
  • Meanwhile, MRV is hacking their system against a spider and kicking butt
  • A fight ensues. We kill all who approach the tower.
  • Then a convoy rolls in.
  • After a moment of gunfire, Mirror is killed.

    • Fat Lee indirectly gives us an address that ISN'T terminus to check out

      • And, just like terminus, this place looks like a Host in the matrix (all black and square)
        • Deadman thinks it's pretty lame
  • MRV discovers a chatlog of two members of The Slicers, they found a guy and a thing on him
    • One of the folks might be Dylan Foster? Post most recent Matrix crash. e-sports guy.

  • But the gang ends up knocking out the kidnappers and find a cyborg
  • The dude has no memory, save one IMPORTANT file
  • He has info on Project Omega - aka Project Titan
  • He replays a memory... the Archduke is the person being lead around a factory
  • And the Slicers took this cyborg's main hard drive... back to Terminus
  • Find a bunker under Terminus, knock out all the dudes
  • The HD isn't here. It's been transported to a trade deal with the cutters
  • Robert Green (e-sports dude) is the person we're looking for. Sent a message to C-Bone to see if he can find any info on the guy.
