CyberGang/Episodes

Episode 1 - Subway Bonanza
The Gang has just acquired their new base, an abandoned Church. Faruk, their Yakuza contact, recommends they use their hard-earned winnings to travel to he local Yakuza hangout and get some respect (by paying for it). After paying for the subway with most of their winnings they board the train. It is delayed as the train hits something that requires some quick maintenance. They arrive at the night club Under the Sea, complete with fish motif. They meet the underboss Daisuke, who entrusts the Gang with the transport of his man Sato to the Archology just a few subway stations away. Enter the triads gunning for Sato. After fighting their way out of the night club, the Gang gets down into the subway, where they are promptly ambushed by Triads, when all the MTS cops leave by subway. As the Gang are fleeing into the service ducts, the triads are also hindered by the arrival of the police. In the service ducts, the Gang finds a thin, slick coat of liquid on everything, and a few corpses eaten whole, except for their skeletons. They arrive at the next station over, and travel to the SPSBT archology. There, Sato spots the local Triad boss Joan "Queen Snake" Li Li, with his yakuza welcoming committee. He panics, trying to scramble away. A yakuza steps out, trying to taunt the Gang. When he draws his gun, the Militech guards present tire of his antics, and shoot him full of full-auto rifle fire, incidentally spraying Michael. The Gang retreats back to their hideout, with Sato fiercely promising revenge and shouting threats against Daisuke to the city.

Episode 2 - Arcology Tremor
A week passes. During this time, Jared becomes the local crimeboss, amassing protection money and shady deals around Arc City Central. One day the Police Commish shows up and they have at it, until they repect eachother. He warns Jared that he will not stand for someone muscling in on their turf, and offers a crappy deal. Meanwhile, Kate searches for the lost Bob-people and finds some locations. Kim is frustrated by the lack of facilities, but comissions a still to have more chemistry access. Alex is still trying to reload the looted mini-car, with a bicycle generator setup. Kim also babysits Sato, a lot. The Gang comes up with a plan to return Sato, as (after some recon) it is obvious that there is a civil war afoot among the Yakuza. They plan to sneak into the Arcology and present their case to the local Yakuza boss Koizumi Haruto. Kate promises to find a way in, which she does; through the arcology sub-basements, past the death traps, through the failed bioexperiment containment. Bob also shows up, and is now believed to be a giant amorphous creature with distributed cognitive functions over several physical bodies. After this intense trip, Haruto welcomes them with open arms. He wisks Sato away and promises a change of leadership at Arc City Central. He also dubs the Gang affiliates of the Yakuza, which opens up the Arcology for them, and allows them to operate with a modicum of safety from direct corp retaliation. After a humiliating social defeat for the Arc City police force, they become absorbed by the Parrishioners, and start collecting money at a 90/10 ratio. The Gang then funnels this cash upwards to the Yakuza at a 50/50 ratio. The Gang is now set for a glorious future, which is compounded by a call to show the local celebrity Diann Starr around town, as she has not experienced the "normal life" (Diann's words) of the city. The Gang shows her around town, marking of a wish list, which includes mugging a mugger, refurbishing and old warehouse into a Dance Nosh and a singing bus (which has earlier been vidcast by a Studio 54 reporter, Walker Sangwi (Female)). As the day ends, Michael is enticed by the local Arc City North gang Lifetakers to partake of some of their bodily fluids, and finds himself very, very high and aura perceptive, which gives him a totally new outlook on life. Kim swipes a sample to examine later.
