WHITE - Day of the DAC

Day of the DAC
Mr Daniels from the Inch From Eden BPN returns to the squad after their (presumed) success previously with more cleanup work for Karma.



Background

GREY - Sordid Fascination

Sordid Fascination
While outwardly a fairly simple surveillance BPN, Operatives who are prepared to dig a little deeper and consider the motives of the person manipulating them will find more under the surface. This serves as an exercise in demonstrating that for the inquisitive the rewards can be interesting, but the risks higher.

GREEN - An Inch From Eden

An Inch From Eden
In this BPN the characters escape the confines of the city and go off-world. The contrast couldn’t be more startling – from the grime and rain of Mort to the verdant warmth of Lilac. However, while paradise is but a footstep away the Ops can only ever see it through the grimy window of a research facility. Lilac was created by Blut_Und_Glas.



Background

RED - Tower Offence

Tower Offence
A little break from the intrigue and investigation. This BPN is a simple hostage situation, deliberately open ended to let the players run free with their imagination as they try to rescue the board of directors of a subsidiary.


WHITE - Gift from the Machine

Gift from the Machine
This BPN is the third part of the machine campaign. With Manchine Cultists thin on the ground, their prototype potentially destroyed, and their grim design ready for phase two field tests, Tek Trex once again clash with the squad.



Background

SILVER - Narcotic Trends

Narcotic Trends
No twists this time. After all, if every BPN had a moral or a lesson then the players would look out for it. This does demonstrate the importance of the media to some extent though. This should also help cement the squad’s relationship with Lloyd Langley, for later surprises.



Background

WHITE - Justice For All

Justice For All
This BPN acts as a counterpoint to the Suburban Psycho BPN from earlier in the campaign. In that BPN the killer was let off because of his value to the company. Now the squad will be called upon to deal out justice to another killer, but they may find that this one would be better off alive.



Background

JADE - A Scent of Ebb

A Scent of Ebb
By now most Ebons will be itching for a Jade, but will have little knowledge of the deeper workings. Here’s a chance for them to earn a few points of Formula, maybe more if they’re prepared to take a few risks.
