“Hey there, choombata, good to scope you. We got a tourist job for you this time. This bit jockey, name of Garrett Engstrom, is headed to a big meetup called CultureCon. It’ll be full of cosplayers, chipheads, BTL enthusiasts, and a few actual Cyberpunk themselves. “He’s also known to have two other operators, prob’ly chipped, with contracts on his head. It’s your job to make sure he doesn’t get checked out by the competition. So, up for a swing through a target-rich environment with no can openers, unknown hostiles, and a bunch of downtime?” Performing a guard mission at a pop-culture convention with a population density that makes NeoTokio look deserted will be a challenge. Doing so in a place with security guards and inquisitive cosplayers wanting to inspect all their interesting gear, will make it really exciting. Having two disguised assassins going after their target, who is blissfully unaware of any threat to his life, is going to make this reeeeally difficult. The convention, CultureCon, will be very crowded, and have a variety of BTL stars, pop culture personalities, sales booths with a dazzling number of esoteric Pop Vinyls and collectibles, and even a few booths selling the latest Militech gadgets which may draw the attention of PCs. Just about everyone will be AR-active, and even hopping into the Matris going to cause some serious lag. Pounding K-pop and thrashmetal compete for volume, and the air conditioning struggles to keep up with the warmth and number of bodies. One of the assassins, by the street name of ShadyEve, is dressed in Geisha costume, and he attacks using a concealed stutterpistol, willing to shred anyone in the vicinity of the target. The other is a full-body mod cyborg, cosplaying as a character from the latest AR-nime, who will reveal herself out of the midst of a group of schoolgirls. The ends of her weapons are painted orange, which might catch people by surprise. No matter what, this will be a memorable run!
