COMPLETE Chapter 2: Road Rage
After a series of technical problems occur around town, the party is tasked with containing an unruly colonist.
Plot points/Scenes
Scene 1: Streetwise Checks In
SW: There you guys are. So, how was your first night in Mission City? ...Maybe don't give me too many details. Look, Sentinel says he's been looking for you, he says he wanted to follow up?
SW: Hey, if you guys are working for him, that's a plus for me. Less errand-running, more time Chief of Securitying. I'll catch you around.
Scene 2: Meeting with Sentinel
SM: So... you delivered the package? And it got to Quake? Good. This didn't happen. Now that's out of the way, would you have some interest in putting those Autobrands of yours to use? It's a little project I've been working on called "Operation Destiny."
--Introduces Operation Destiny (Rank missions)
SM: That's the spirit. Get out there and--
SW: We've got a problem.
SM: What?
SW: There's a civilian going nuts in the Mining Town, must be on stims or something. The Autoroopers we've deployed so far haven't been able to stop them.
SM: Well, I'd call that perfect timing. You've got a new mission for now, newbies. You're going to bring this crazy to justice. If it seems like you're about to get killed, stick around. I'm sure you'll pull through. Now get out there.
Scene 3: Road Rage, the calamity
After arriving in the Mining Town, the party will be directed to the Colonial Health Clinic, outside of which waits Road Rage.
RR: GRRAAAAARRGGGHH.... MORE OF THEM! RIP THEM APART...
(Battle)
RR: Oh... uh... where... am I? I... uh... I'm... (looks at sticker on her arm) Road Rage... I think? I honestly... can't remember anything.
RR: Wait, you mean I did all of this...? Oh... I guess I'm going to jail, huh?
RR: No, this is a good thing! I bet I'll start to remember when I'm there! Perfect! Some time to think... about everything...
RR goes peacefully.
SW: Not bad at all... I wonder what got into her. If it was a stim overdose she wouldn't have snapped out of it like that. What did she say her name was?
SW: Road Rage... I'll look it up in the colony's charter. There's got to be some kind of story, here. Thanks for the save, I owe you one. Here, I'll make it up to you.
She gives the party 100cr.
SW: Don't spend it all in one place. Or do. I don't care.
Scene 4: No Paper Trail
Streetwise, if encountered later on, will reveal what she found about Road Rage.
SW: So I did some digging, and "Road Rage" isn't on the charter. She's not a citizen, at least, not under that name. A femme with the same description is on the charter, though-- under the name "Custom," and with polity of origin and reason for immigration identical to the guy who was ahead of her in line. Looks fishy. I've got a lot on my plate, but if you wanted to stop by the Mission City Penitentiary and ask her some questions, I'll give you my authority to do so. You might need to advance your Rank before you can go in there, though. We need to know who everyone in the colony really is-- once we start getting into secret identities, my job gets a lot harder.
SW: Thanks. Let me know what you learn.
