So, I started running the game about 2 weeks ago, getting ready to have the third session. Here's the plot so far, I'm open for any feedback or comments. Okay, so, the characters (4 of them) are on Extropia, they're already Firewall Sentinals, but they don't know each other. They're contacted by a Proxy (Cheshire, AR illusion is a cheshire cat, calls them his Alices, talks about everything in terms of Carroll's books, whole nine yards), and told to intercept 4 individuals heading for an area of the hab where the atmosphere has gone septic and relieve them of a package, by force if necessary. The group does so, with a modicum of force, exits, and regroups. They're contacted by cheshire, told the package is about 100 egos stolen from a Cognite egobank, and to guard it until they are contacted in a day or two. They've already foiled one retrieval attempt, though one of them will be in a healing vat in a hospital for the next five days. I'm trying to decide if Firewall is going to have him resleeved until he is healed so that he will be able contribute to the op. So, here is the behind the scenes. The egonappers consist of a group of 3 thugs, 1 infiltrator (who was hired on as Cognite security 3 months prior to begin setting up the operation), and 1 hacker. This groupof egonappers was hired by a Firewall operative (they don't know he's Firewall, or even of Firewall) with a high G-rep to rob this egobank. Firewall didn't use sentinals because there's too much risk of losing them in robbing an egobank (Due to the heinous nature of the crime, and the punishments usually carried, I do mean PERMANENT loss). I imagine that Firewall keeps a list of egos that, if found in a bank or wherever, are marked for retrieval. This bank holds one such ego, a Nanobiochemical engineer who was a luminary and believed lost in the Fall, his retrieval and reinstantiation would be a huge boon to transhumanity (and, incidentally, Firewall). The plan was to have the egonappers rob the bank, Sentinals in the area would be activated to retrieve the package, then a Cognite infosec operative who is a member of Firewall and placed in the bank would immediately meet the sentinals, retrieve this specifc ego, and return the package to the bank, identifying the sentinals as security he deputized on the spot to help him after the robbery. Firewall gets the egos it wants and also happens to nab a group of egonappers. 2 birds with one stone. Now the twist. The Cognite Firewall operative was killed in the robbery, his cortical stack destoyed, and his backup ego was one of the ones stolen. Now, instead of guarding the package for, at most, an hour, the characters have to sit on this box o' egos for 2 days while another Cognite Firewall sentinal is activated and egocast in, the hacker is frantically scrabbling to find them, and Cognite has activated a contract with Stellar Intelligence to investigate the robbery while keeping it under wraps (having it leak out that your egobank was robbed is very bad for business). I should note that the characters don't know any of this. all they know is that they were told to get this package, it's full of egos, and to guard until someone comes to get it. So, long post, but thoughts or comments?
