Have you ever wanted to experience what it feels like to be a cyberpunk or an edgerunner tough guy in a dark future where massive corporations rule the world and human life might be cheaper than ever? Well now's your chance Choom!

The city you live in is only now beginning to recover from an event years ago, when a rocker madman detonated a bomb in the corporate zone. Since then, chaos between various gangs has ruled the streets. Ordinary people are just trying to survive from one day to the next.

You and your crew hardcore punks are lounging in a well-known mercenary bar called The Serpent’s Venom, when a fixer you know sends a message about a new and extremely urgent gig.

The famous pop star Mia Flower was en route to her concert when her convoy was attacked by an unknown party. Her vehicle was forced off the highway into one of the city’s rougher zones. The private security company responsible for the transport is currently unable to send reinforcements to the area. However, according to the latest intel, the target is still alive—alongside some staff members and a few guards—and they may be hiding somewhere nearby the crash site.

Desperate, the pop star’s manager—who also happens to be her aunt—has reached out to anyone she can find for help, and your fixer’s name came up. He immediately contacted his trusted crew of heavy-hitters. The job is simple: locate the target and bring her back home safely. The mission may be dangerous, but that’s why he called you. The pay is also very attractive and what do cyberpunks live for if not for the thrill of the next big gig and a big stack of eddies.

Quickly grab your gear—you don’t have much time. You're not even sure who or what exactly attacked the convoy. It could’ve been a random act of violence… or a carefully planned kidnapping.
