02 “Where are my bots!

A Cygnus Bor`Man Mission

Cygnus had a blackmarket order for a robot team to help him “clean” vehicles at his chop shops. But the ordered robot team went missing. Last he heard it was slated to show up at a warehouse, but they never showed up.

He called the shipping warehouse, but all they say that it was never recieved and been marked as “Lost” - “Damn warehouse jockeys, don't know anything. They just said to refer to the insurance claims - and all they know is that it is “Vehicle Parts''

He wants the team to find and retrieve his robots,and find out anything about who may have taken them.

I need a favor, you know, a favor for a favor? Something that can prove your trust.

I had a shipment of bots that went missing recently. I called the shipping agency and they just told me they were lost. “Lost” pshh - Damn warehouse jockeys, don't know anything. They just said to refer to the insurance claims.

I need your help in finding those robots and figuring out what happened to them.

But here is the thing, they only knew that it was “Vehicle Parts''. I had to label them that way for… errrr, let's just say certain reasons.

—-------------------------------------

[ If asked about the Insurance Agency ]

Yeah, I contacted them. They are investigating it - and who knows how long that bureaucratic bullshit takes. I've seen claims like this drop through the cracks all the time. They won't bat an eyelash due to the fact it's just, to their eyes, “vehicle parts”. Probably just cut me a small settlement and be done with it.

—-------------------------------------

I don't care how you do it, I just want to know what happened to them, that is all.

Facts:

Missing Several Robots (9)

1 robot brain
- Programmed with hack codes to change vehicle information

Leads:

Shipping Warehouse

The shipping warehouse will not speak to outsiders.
The shipping warehouse just wrote it off as an insurance claim - saying that the insurance policy will deal with it.
Computer Hack | Social Methods: Manifest shows the shuttle name and the pilot.

Insurance Company

Marked as “Lost”
A claim has been filed
Investigation is ongoing

Public Information

Via the News and research: The Hijacking was off city. The ruins of the container are still there.
Pilot is still alive, but in the hospital.

“The Designer”

may know something of a new shipment of robots coming in that he had to re-programming.
A group of people on behalf of a rich client came to me with robots and wanted me to reprogram these bots on the sly. But the existing programs on these things were black market. Discretion is my thing.
I copied some of the disks but they were mostly corrupted
- Op~~///89tion Bit ^D\\..**le##e
- Driving programs

Pilot

“They kept calling me ‘Corporate Scum’ - before they took everything!”
Knew The Pirate Shuttle was ONF (Markings on it).
“The ship's recorder may have captured something. Its protocol to turn on the recorder”

Investigation of the Crash Site

ONF Graffiti shows the symbol (Lightning Bolt with Molecule Swoops
Ship Recorder recorded Audio of the hijackers
- Would hear a “Thrax” talking to a “Hamish”
- Would hear that they need to get it to the leased warehouse Thrax got.
- Hamish mentions, “I got a person who may be able to help.”

Thrax cuts in, “Person? What person?”

Hamish replies, “Brook”

“Brook? Brook who?”

“... Oberhausen, Brook Oberhausen. She owes me a favor”

“Can you trust….” [ BREAK TO STATIC ]

Brook Oberhausen Interrogation

She is oblivious to the project
Hamish was an old boyfriend of hers. She hated working for him, but had to repay a BIG favor to him. She is now done with him.
She knows the Designer
She knows the warehouse the goods were dropped off at

Rewards:

Services of “Cleaning” things.

Of course at a price. Can be haggled down.

This is just to trust you with my services. And I may have new job opportunities for you as well.

Operation Bit Delete

Phases

Acquire Robots
Acquire enough Tornadium explosives to blow the 4 drill mechanical housings
Acquire Vehicles & Begin Operation

“Operation Bit Delete - Phase 1”

(Mastermind: Dralasite Hurf’l Grulog, E.E.)

Hurf’l Grulog hired Thrax Plaster of the Order of the New Frontier (O.N.F.) to initiate “Operation Bit Delete”

Acquiring the robots was the first phase of Operation Bit Delete.

Thrax had a group of his O.N.F. Terrorists hijack the shipping container, knowing there were robots in that container through their information resources. They knew it was a black market deal and the robots were prime materials that could be used in their operation.

The team attacked the shipping container killing the crew and stole the goods. Unknowingly the Pilot (Razz Yadinski) survived and was in critical condition. They stole the robots and headed to Brixton.

Thrax had to explain to Hamish that they had to wipe the robots, reprogram them, and then store them until the time was right.

One of the pirates (Hamish Blastworthy) had a connection to an upper echelon society person (Brook Oberhausen) who knew how to deal with under the table things like this. (she knew of “The Designer” - who would be able to wipe the robots and insert the operations data disks.)

Hamish gives Brook the data disks that had a secured lock on it, to install on the bots. The data disks are the commands for Operation Bit Delete.

Brook has her team take it to The Designer for the bots to be reprogrammed, paying a heavy price. It was a BIG favor she had to pay back for Hamish.

After programming them, the designer copies those disks, but the copies have corrupted data.

When the robots were ready, Brook had her team pick up the robots - and stashed them at a warehouse, on the 3rd level of the Village, for the ONF connection to later pick up.

And from there, they would start Operation Bit Delete.
