I got a new plot idea and need your opinion.
The setting takes place in Olympus where - in an attempt to make the city more attractive again - Hypercorp A erected a brand new modern building.
Some of the floors a rent to a small start up that makes animal testing an tries to breed new uplifts. During the opening celebration some of these test animals escape and the building is shut down. The animals get in contact with all kind of strange new drugs. This basically leads to the events in Gremlins II.
The background: The labs secretly belong to Hypercorp B. Hypercorp B was loosing market share to Hypercorp A and decided to trigger this mess to harm Hypercorp A.
Players could be all kind of characters. People working in the building or just random people showing up at the opening celebration. Some could be sentinels that are there "by chance" but I don't see how this is interesting for firewall.
Welcome! These forums will be deactivated by the end of this year. The conversation continues in a new morph over on Discord! Please join us there for a more active conversation and the occasional opportunity to ask developers questions directly! Go to the PS+ Discord Server.

It doesnt need to be
It doesnt need to be interesting to Firewall. It would be interesting to Overwatch, the internal affair, FBI, NSA and internal spy thing that the Planetary Consortium has.
It would be interesting to any mercurial Uplift groups. It would be interesting to Argonuaghts to some degree.

Yes, But Gremlins Was Funny
I think you'd have more fun with uplifts/smart animals, like racoons, meercats, squirrels and other curious rodents. (Viva, la Revolucion!) You could have them all be infected then quarantine the building and see if the PC's are willing to fight to save the critters or if they just gas the building with everyone in it.
I'm just picturing giant rats in sombreros firing hampster cannons or a possum that the PC's are SURE they killed playing dead over and over again, coming back even after you sling its body into an incenerator.
