Cyberpunk Red: Revolution 2045

Session 1 - The Gang took a job from a young 20-something fixer named Lara Zero, operating out of a club called "Trinity" in the Little Europe neighborhood of Night City. Kagiyama Kazuma (rumored to have ties with the Yakuza) is the owner of Trinity. His brother, Uyemura Kazuma is the manager. Noya Toru, (vaguely Japanese and Persian) is the bartender. This is a place popular with Solos, Fixers, and Techies, No parking in front, $$ Rated (a little bit upscale but not fancy), the DJ plays the latest hits, and the club has live bands Friday to Sunday. Nearby is the abandoned Church of the Heavenly Virgin, and a Japanese-style Capsule hotel. The street is decrepit and rundown, Graiffitipocalypse. Gang Signs abound in French and German: a Skinhead neo-Nazi gang. French signs of "Pappillon" AKA the Butterfly crew.

Lara Zero hooks the team up with a gig. Jackson "Knifeedge" Chose is the 60 year old leader of the Merc Logistics outfit "War Dogs" who wants to find out who hacked his database at his HQ in Arroyo, on the far side of San Morro Bay in Henderson. He will pay €d 500 to find out who did it, and a €d 500 bonus to bring them in alive for interrogation.

Session 2 - The current gig ended when the War Dogs Merc leader Jackson Chose was killed by the 6th street gang in a running gun battle on their turf in Henderson (Southeast across Morro Bay).

Lara Zero was poisoned in her megastructure apartment by a serial stalker, but was able to make a call with her agent, and rescued by the team MedTech, Dr. Pasha (a former employee of Trauma Team).

The stalker was lurking around her apartment, soon identified and evidence found. They captured him while trying to escape, and then bound him. Showing steel nerves, Lara executed him Yakuza style in her apartment with a 10mm auto pistol. She told the team to leave, and hired a cleaner crew to dispose of the body.

Lara is now staying in the Exec's Militech Corporate Apartment in the New Westbrook Executive Zone, on an invite from Mister C., until she can find a new place.

A few days later, Jackson's Daughter Lisa (who was a team liason to the crew from War Dogs Merc Unit) was found murdered in an abandoned salvage yard in North Heywood under a Rt. 126 Overpass, well within 6th Street Gang Territory. The Defacto leader of the War Dogs paid off the team, as promised, and suggest that they move on.

Session 3 had the crew in a meeting with a graphic artist that knew the rocker girl known on the Street as Monochrome, and the crew went to meet with her at a notorious booster gang bar called Totentanz... The artist changed her mind about hiring the crew when the exec suspected she was lying.

The artist fled and was seen being gunned down on her escape from the bar by an unmarked aerodyne outside a subway station entrance in broad daylight, Mr. C's bodyguard, "Book" saw this happen while the team was in the bar. An Arasaka Corp Intel agent showed up, identified himself to Mister C, and asked too many questions about the artist's Netrunner contact.

The Saint is hired by a very nervous and tense Maxine Rivers to sabotage a robot at Militech.

Session 4 Brief Notes:

The sprawling oil fields of Norcal District, Virtual Haven are teeming with weeds and abandoned oil rigs from SovOil. Our team had split up to pursue their own agendas, but the city has a way of bringing everyone together in the end.

It started with the Yakuza family rockergirl named Monochrome. She was practicing her guitar skills in her friend's apartment, lost in the music when Arasaka Ninjas attacked. The assault was sudden and brutal, and they put Monochrome on her knees at pistol point. The lead ninja unmasked herself as (her Aunt) Yiu Sakurai, and her task was to bring her back to Japan for an arranged Yakuza business marriage which would be very profitable for the family. She contemptuously replied that she would never go, and there was a point where it looked like they would kill her. But, her aunt Yui held her temper, and Monochrome was lucky to escape with her life. They threw her inside a Vendit box. The Ninjas disguised themselves as Vendit workers, pulling uniforms from bags, and she was carted out to the street, barely able to breathe, let alone play music.

Meanwhile, Book, Max, and Ben were on their way to Militech in the Norcal District. They had business to attend to, and the corporate giants weren't going to wait around for them. As they arrived, they noticed something strange - the building was under surveillance by a group of rogue hackers. They quickly jumped into action, surprising them with the assistance of a Militech security team to take action, and drive the attackers away. As they had a meeting, they figured to let Militech security handle the details.

Later, in the day Militech R&D Department head Maxine Rivers arrived in a limo, and approached The Saint, a notorious tech wizard who has earned a reputation for his unparalleled expertise in the world of Cyberpunk. He's got a natural talent for hacking on the side and manipulating the latest tech, but there's a catch - he's dying from a dread disease that even the most advanced medicine can't cure.

To make matters worse, The Saint is haunted by the knowledge that he won't be around to see the world he loves so much reach its full potential. But rather than give up, The Saint has turned to technology to help him overcome his physical limitations.

He's outfitted himself with the latest cybernetic implants, including neural interfaces and a full-body exoskeleton that allows him to move with superhuman agility and strength. He's also changed his own DNA with experimental nanotech, giving him a resistance to disease that borders on the supernatural.

Despite his advanced tech, however, The Saint knows that his time is limited. He lives every day as if it were his last, pushing himself to the limit and taking on the toughest jobs he can find. And as long as there's still breath in his lungs and a spark of life in his mind, The Saint will keep pushing forward, doing everything he can to make the world a better place - and maybe even find a cure for his own illness.

Maxine offered him a job. She was nervous and tense, and it was clear that whatever she needed doing was urgent. The task was simple enough: sabotage a robot under construction at Militech. But things are never that simple in the world of Cyberpunk.

The Saint accepted the job, knowing full well the risks involved. But with the promise of big eddies and the thrill of the game, he was willing to take on whatever challenge came his way.

Session 5. Offscreen, Militech is having problems. Their stock has dropped from rumors of assassinations of locals in the villages by Central American Death Squads. The Board is calling for the Removal of Mr. Z(hirinovsky), the Regional Assistant Director. Militech has leaked to News 54 via the Nightly News Lead "Simone" that, based on the success of recent robot tests, the R&D Division is going to be transformed into an independent Subsidiary Corporation, named Digital River, potentially led by Maxine Rivers as CEO.

Maxine Rivers met with Max and Book on the 40th floor of the new Militech building, far to the North, outside the NorCal military base.

Book explained to Ben the solo that he can't stand Maxine and he's really getting sick of working for this company and her bullshit.

Ben asked book what happened and Max only says, "we need to talk later. I have to think about it."

Essentially Maxine Rivers told Max that Mr Z. is on the way out and she's asking Max to declare loyalty to her to get a promotion, to a Department Head of the new R&D subsidiary... the Digital River company.

Monochrome managed to escape the ninjas with the aid of an English Detective Lawman names Layton Cooper, and he was able to convince a local street gang who controlled the local territory to confront the Arasaka Crew, while he got her out of the box. She escaped from her Arasaka pursuers, by helicopter called by the English detective and now she was transported out into the desert at a secured compound in the foothills while they figure out what to do with her... Arasaka put out a bounty... But Monochrome tells Layton, and his security team that she has Arasaka corporate secrets and lots of dirt on the old family in Japan and also in America.

Ben and The Saint were summoned to a place called the Polish lady bar but once they walked in there they found that Yuri the owner had been killed in a mob hit after interrogating with his face in a toilet, the police arrived but Ben talked their way out of that situation with Sergeant Gonzalez whom he has met before.

Many more notes left to include...
