Shadowrun (Genesis)

Part 9: Chapter IX: Neuromancer ain't got nothin' on me

Part VII: Neuromancer ain't got nothin' on me

(This update is small, because most of it was grind, and I didn't want to include "Then I casted attack for the umpteenth time")




So our next run is to Hack into Renraku, of course that requires a better board then the one I currently have, so I upgrade to the Fuchi-7 Which is the second best board in the game. Then I kit it the fuck out, I'm going to have a little trouble on this run, but eventually I get to where I go. There are a bunch of files and stuff in here that I need.

Wow, so that's a lot of stuff to take in, The important parts are that:

-Frosty is now with the Sinsearch Elves
-There is a map in or around the Renraku Arcology
-Mako is no longer working for Renraku
-There was a new computer installed in the Shiawase Atomic Nuclear Plant, and 5 corps were accused of sabotaging it. Those corps are Fuchi, Renraku, Ares, Mitsuhama, and Lone Star. We've found News Net files with pieces of a password at Ares and Renraku.

So, when Caleb asks us to go against Mitsuhama, how could we turn him down?

Mitsuhama has a lone male AmerIndian as a prioner!



So, so far we have a small piece of the puzzle, and we're starting to key together a passcode.

We have the Codes from Mitsuhama, Ares, and Renraku, That leaves only Fuchi and Aztechnology. Sadly the only way to get to these corps is either through breaking in, and hacking them from the inside, or waiting for Caleb to drop them in a quest. So I grind more.

I wonder what the passcode could be, nope no clue, no clue whatsoever, I have to go through and beat Aztechnology, because even though the English Language only has 26 letters, and 10 Numbers (0 - 9) There is no way I could even take a chance. I mean there is a 1:36 chance I might get it right, those odds are unbeatable. (It took me a long time to get an Aztec JoB )

This is a new type of Matrix Run, we hack the CPU instead of robbing the DS.

So now we have the passcode, we run it and...

We end up in the Pentagon, There's an interesting file to be downloaded here.



Apparently, by downloading the interesting file, we deleted a virus that was going to cause the Redmond Barrens Shiyawase Nuclear Power Plant from overloading. As a reward, we're rewarded with a large sum of money, but probably not larger then the amount we spent on decking. The good news is, we are now done with side quests, all that is left is finding all the contacts, and moving forward the plot.



We're also rich now. Incredibly rich.







Not to mention Powerful.

See you next time Chummers.
