SCAVENGING: DCON DATA TRANSFER DEVICE

=================================================================== 

TOOL: Deconstructive Data Transfer [DCON] 

USE: Limited use, secure surface-to-orbit item transfer 

RISK: Momentary vulnerability while activating 

REWARD: Send requested item to interested FACTION without exfil 

OVERVIEW: Deconstructive [DCON] Data Transfer Devices are specialized teleportation devices that allow a user to send atomized data between two points, typically from a planetary surface to orbit. DCONs have intricate signal encryption, allowing them to maintain a connection between sender and receiver regardless of atmospheric or dedicated signal interference. RUNNERS utilize DCONs to skirt TAU CETI IV's unique energy readings and subvert UESC comms scramblers to deliver data of interest to FACTIONS willing to pay good credits for TCIV's secrets. 

     • ACQUIRE data of interest to a FACTION. 

     • LOCATE a DCON. 

     • INPUT data to initiate transfer. 

     • PROFIT! 

REMARK: Have your crew watch your back. Or, if solo running, grow eyes in the back of your head.

SCAVENGING: RUNNER CACHES

=================================================================== 

OPPORTUNITY: RUNNER CACHES 

RISK: Good loot draws attention 

REWARD: Loot stockpile 

OVERVIEW: RUNNER CACHES are marked locations filled with secured containers. These stockpiles require keys that can be scavenged from the planet, other RUNNERS, or UESC, but once found and unlocked, they offer an array of goods to bolster any run. The origin of these CACHES is unknown, but someone is supplying RUNNERS with gear to help them survive TAU CETI IV. Hard to see the bad in that. 

     • LOCATE a CACHE Container Key. 

     • LOCATE a CACHE. 

     • STOCK UP! 

     • RUN. 

REMARK: You'll find a CACHE where the red smoke flies.

SCAVENGING: UESC SUPPLY DROP

=================================================================== 

OVERVIEW: The UESC's orbital SUPPLY DROPS transport goods and salvage to and from the planet's surface. These autonomous units are rarely seen by RUNNERS as the UESC makes efforts to obscure both their transfer schedules and routes. But RUNNERS being RUNNERS, they tend to find ways to circumvent UESC best practices whenever it benefits their bottom line. Hacking a UESC DROP PAD to hijack a SUPPLY DROP en route to its orbital destination is just one of the many ways to complicate UESC operations across NEW CASCADIA.

This endeavor is never an easy bet. The PAD-to-SUPPLY vessel link puts on quite a show, alerting any nearby UESC, and worse, any nearby RUNNERS to your intentions, making you, your crew, and the SUPPLY DROP targets for other RUNNERS' ambitions. Few things are deadlier, but SUPPLY DROPS tend to reward the daring, so maybe a little noise and trouble are worth the potential of another round of violent inconvenience.

Notably, the SUPPLY DROP will provide momentary cover once it has landed, but don't get eager… the blast from its boosters will crisp your SHELL if you're too close on takeoff.

REMARK: Call the SUPPLY DROP. Get some distance. Cover the angles. Approach if clear. Reap the rewards… or consequences.

SCAVENGING: TOX CLEAR

=================================================================== 

HAZARD: TOX CLEAR 

THREAT: Toxic fumes 

RISK: Total biologic systems failure and SHELL deterioration 

REWARD: Quality stashed goods 

OVERVIEW: TOX CLEAR appears to be a makeshift protection used by unknown parties to deter unwanted access to stashed goods worth hiding [weapons, equipment, materials, etc.]. Locate and activate atmo-filters to clear toxins for a limited duration. Old systems cannot sustain functionality. Access and loot stashes quickly before toxins overwhelm the filters and choke the room. 

     • FIND and engage tox filter controls. 

     • Wait for toxic fumes to CLEAR. 

     • ENTER and LOOT. 

     • # seconds before filters FAIL 

     • DON'T linger. 

     • LOOT / LEAVE / SURVIVE 

          • Or take your time and SUFFER 

REMARK: Greed is maybe a RUNNER's worst enemy, so DON'T CHOKE.

SCAVENGING: TEMPORAL FRAGMENT

=================================================================== 

OVERVIEW: This is new. This is impossible. All reports contradict and confuse all other reports. How did you get your hands on it? Who did you sell it to? TAU CETI is filled with secrets, but temporal matter is theory made real by whatever is affecting this world. Be sure to follow any known procedures when securing and carrying a FRAGMENT. There's no telling what its volatile energy could react to. It could take a bullet and sing a song in a key only stars can hear. Or you could blink too hard and a black hole could open up in your backpack. Bye bye, SHELL. Bye bye, RUNNER. Bye bye, TAU CETI. Bye bye, universe. Any of that or none of it is a possibility when scratching the edges off known physics. 

REMARK: It just might change everything.
