Last weekend a daring attempted desertion was foiled by EBM's new Counter-Espionage and Sabotage team, led by Nia (played by Darlene) and supported by Larson (Mary T) and Richie (Adam).
We had a fast-paced adventure set in the mean streets of NYC in 2020. The team had to uncover a plot by an EBM employee to breach her contract and go to work for a rival firm. They did some extensive sleuthing: following her when she wasn't at work, monitoring her apartment, even harassing her doorman and building manager to get the information they needed.
When the time came for the deserter to be extracted, they were on the scene and in control. A nomad family (the O'Sheas) had been hired by Microtech to kidnap Dr. Etienne. This gave Microtech plausible deniability in case the plan was foiled. The O'Sheas were well prepared to make the kidnapping, but they didn't count on the stiff resistance that the C-E/S team put up.
A high speed, run-n-gun chase ensued, and the kidnapping was foiled.
Dr. Etienne pleaded with the team to let her desert to Microtech. At EBM she worked on targeting systems for cyber-weapons, but at Microtech she was slated to work on medical equipment. Her appeals to their hearts failed, and even her generous appeal to their wallets did not deter them from taking her into custody.
It was a very strange end to a Cyberpunk game. Usually the players take the role of a band of misfits and nobodies who are out to fight the evils of mega-corporations. This time, they didn't hesitate to enforce strict corporate policy. You never can tell.
