02 FOLLOWING THE PAPER TRAIL

EXCERPT

The players discovered an identification badge belonging to Sam, an employee of Neuro-Chem Labs, inside an abandoned cargo container and quickly learned Sam’s reported departure was a fabrication. Their investigation led them to a disturbing scene at Sam’s residence and ultimately to a Piranha gang gathering at a derelict dock, hinting at a larger, covert operation.

SESSION SUMMARY

  • Container Clues: Seeking refuge, the players discovered an abandoned and locked cargo container nestled within territory controlled by the Tyger Claws. Inside, they salvaged an identification badge belonging to Sam, an employee of a small, recently established firm located nearby called Neuro-Chem Labs.

  • Corporate Deception: The party traveled to Neuro-Chem Labs to return the badge and spoke with the manager, Max. Max reacted defensively, claiming Sam had called in sick and abruptly quit days ago , but Petra instantly detected deception in his statement. This suspicion was confirmed by the receptionist, who slipped Petra Sam’s employee file alongside an anonymous note stating she also believed Max was lying.

  • A Bloody Scene: Following the trail to Sam’s actual cargo container residence, the crew walked into a disturbing scene featuring overturned furniture and a fresh puddle of blood. Concluding that Sam had been killed or abducted, they searched the room and found a crumpled piece of paper containing a date and an address from a few days prior.

  • The Derelict Docks: The address brought the party to an abandoned warehouse at a derelict dock. Inside, they uncovered clear evidence of a Piranha gang gathering and signs of a recent covert river shipment , prompting Petra to contact her Netrunner connection, Neuro, to dig up details on the illegal deliveries.
