Part 5

Brothels and new bases!

Now we're gonna cheat and save our game, write down all the information here in our notebook and then reload. You need to talk to Akiko three times, and every time you talk to her, you get arrested and go to trail, get fined and are thrown back onto the street. This wouldn't be a problem, but after your third arrest you get put to death and Shin takes all your money as a fee for starting your brain back up.



An attractive woman named Akiko is waiting for you here by a massage table. This is a clean shop with a stainless steel floor.

Is it that obvious I'm a cowboy?






Yeah, we'll skip the hassle I had to go through here.




We don't need to go back, but we can, and since I'm reloading anyway I'm gonna do that.




 As far as I know the cybereyes aren't in the game 



The UXB broke so we have to pay Shiva 1000 creds for the repair chip. Actually it's broken from the get-go but it works like seven out of ten times.



Con sits down in the Loser and and hooks up the the Panther database.

We're gonna pick up a lot of plot here.



I wonder if they'll fall for it again?



I mentioned before that the jack in the Cheap Hotel will only give us access to zone 0. Cyberspace has 7 zones, and we need to physically get to jacks that'll give us access to the higher zones.



Huh? What's Sense/Net? Who's Lupus?



Oh. Larry Moe know where we can find this Lupus fellow.





Matt knew we'd break in here eventually. Good old Matt.



I love how this game lets you type up messages, did I say that before?



And he replies right away too.



Comlink 3.0, nice. The other softs won't run on our deck so we won't waste the credits on downloading it.




Just dropped by the IRS, looks like Lonny's got himself arrested. If we meet one of his girls we'd better ask if he's ok.




Here's what the cryptology skills chip is for!




We're in to the SEA, I'm staring to feel like a proper cowboy now.



We don't have access to upgrade it any further, but level 2 should be a great help.



Sequencer is what we need to brute force level 1 passwords.



We're not on that list, goodie!

I'll leave you with another little in-joke:






Next: Con's notes for days one through three!
