The Third Forumised Shadowrun Adventure!

Round these parts people don't fuck around much, especially when the yakuza are involved. I'm sure there's more vicious gangs out there, but no one's heard of them. I'm thinking we should ask about the girl, Kitsune, and this Tempo shit.

Seattle Matrix User ID's check please Mr Joose:

8 dice: 1, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6 - 5 hits

What do I know about Mr SINsmith?

Post by **Joose** » April 15th, 2009, 17:47

He's pretty well known in the online community, although (like most well known matrix personalities) a lot of it is rumour. Things that are almost certainly true:

He is one of the only one man-sources of fake SINs and other ID's, most of the others coming from groups. He takes a bit longer than most, but is a craftsman and is slightly cheaper than the norm. He is, however, a rather busy man, so getting him to work for you can be a chore.

He's got a pretty high opinion of himself and his skills. Opinion is divided on whether that is deserved or not.

He's either Irish, or constantly puts on an Irish accent.

Then there's the more dodgy rumours:

He's an ancient elf, like Harlequin et al. For those of you that don't know, ancient elves are really fucking old; they claim to be thousands of years old, having been alive the *last* time there was magic in the world.

He's an AI, emerged from some piece of ID management software, which is why he is capable of doing work that normally takes several people.

He used to be a runner in Seattle, many years ago, and had to run off in suspicious circumstance after the rest of his team was killed in an explosion.

He's Fastjack's (a world famous matrix celeb) ex room-mate.

Be nice though, 'cos he doesn't just make the SIN, he breaks 'em as well

Okay, questions I think I should ask -

1 - His involvement with the girl, why her?

2 - Kitsune? Kitsune's involvement with the girl?

3 - What's the message?

As for tempo - it's new to us and our dealer, but it's well known in the SR world, I don't think he'll offer us much we can't learn ourselves.

Should we flip on kitsune? Not because of the situation but because the double triple cross is probably happening from his end. Do we offer to help the sinsmith in some capacity against kitsune if that's what he wants?

I take it everyone agrees then?

Okay then.

Right, this whole business with the chick and the yaks has been boiling my piss, so what have you got to do with her and this whole fucked up situation?

You said you were working for the yakuza, but you certainly don't seem to like kitsune, you got some bad blood there?

I'm thinking the money for you is flowing from one direction and for us from the other. This whole thing stinks of a powerplay further up the line in the yak camps, I'm thinking you work for people who took her, and we work for people who want her back.

Fuck it, guessin' at all this ain't no use, gimme your message and we'll be gone.

Shigeda hired me to knock her up a new ID, so they could squirrel her away. Started off nice and careful, turned into a fuckup rush-job by the end. Real messy. You might be right about us working for opposite sides, chummer, but I think you lads have the wrong end of the stick. See, she was coming to me willingly. She ain't been kidnapped here, not yet. Unless I've misread what's going on here by a mile, I'm guessing kidnapping is gonna be more your job. Shigeda hasn't locked her up, he's hidden her.

And Kitsune? Fuck, no, I've no bad blood with him. No-one does, who's still breathin, you get my drift? But if the big boys from JIS have lent Foxy to Shotozumi to clean this shite up, then whatever is going on is big, and you *dont* want to be on the wrong side. Hanzo is going to be owing some serious fecking boons for Kitsune, he's not something you roll out lightly.

But if he's rolling through town, I'm taking advantage. Here's my message for him.

He sends you an encrypted file, marked with the note "For Tails, luv Spike"

Now get with the off-fucking. I'm going to be cleaning my trail with some heavy duty remote detonated incendiary devices in about 5mins. If you don't all end up with katanas up your asses, maybe I'll see you around.

He also sends you a SIN number of a Japanese woman with a suspiciously familiar face.

I love this guy.

Yeah cyberware is no good if you ask me. Let's get the fuck out of here. This job smelled of yak infighting from the start. Something tells me no matter what happens, someone will want to gut us.

N-zo hands Frank a data chip.

Frank's cybershit got hijacked by this SINsmith clown. Hell, he's probably tapping his eyes and everything. Let's go.

Frank wrote:Fucking right he did, fucking cheeky Buunda. I don't have much clue to the fancy areas of the matrix shit but the guy must have been good to get into my cyber in the split second he had.

Still, if I met him on the street and recognized his voice then I'd have my shotgun tearing him a new hole before he could even shit.

Fuck it, this place is about to be blown to shit. Lets jump in the van, watch it blow up to make sure he's not being a cheeky drek again and then sort out this fucking mess.

Someone who gives more of a shit want to tell the tramps that their real life trid is about to go action movie?

Frank wrote:N-zo, as much as you probably want a look at that message, maybe you could track this sin number he sent me first, I think maybe he's given us an out on this one.

Frank hands him the datachip after uploading the message and sends him the sin, then he jumps in the van.
