"Focus on the road, Elodie," Ryoko barks, as the tailing gang members come into view in the rear. "I'll focus on getting rid of them. Kindred, look sharp," she continues, her combat training coming to the fore in their moment of crisis, the adrenaline rushing as she feels almost excited to finally be in combat again. She fires a shot at the other biker, but her shot goes wide, and she mumbles "dammit" quietly under her breath. Not used to shooting from a moving vehicle, going to need to recalibrate my link.

Mechanics
Main Action: shoots at ganger 2
Attack: [1d20+3]=6+3=9 = miss, use once-per-scene reroll to instead get [1d20+3]=1+3=4 :')

Flash Grenade
1d20+4 to hit (bounce 1d10 meters on miss), 10m/30m range, 5m radius
Effect: targets without sufficient protection make a physical save. On a failure to save, affected targets lose their next Main Action and take -2 to hit and to AC for 1d6 rounds. Effect does not stack, and cannot be applied more than once in the same round.

Skill Points: 0
EDGES AND FOCI
EDGES

Wired: You may begin play with up to $200,000 worth of new or secondhand cyber. You don’t need to pay for installation and its maintenance is covered for the next two months. You can redeem this Edge later in your career by paying double the cost of the cyber you selected; if so, you can trade this Edge in for a different one with the GM’s approval.

On Target: Gain shoot-0 as a bonus skill. Your basic attack bonus is equal to your character level, instead of the usual half level, rounded down.

FOCI

Shocking Assault-1: Gain stab-1 as a bonus skill. The Shock damage of your weapon treats all targets as if they were AC 10, assuming your weapon is capable of harming the target in the first place and the target is not immune to Shock.
INSTALLED CYBERWARE
Emergency Stabilization Factor
$30k | Body | Medical | Sys. Strain 1
Effect: When brought to zero hit points by an injury that does not instantly kill them, the user automatically stabilizes, gaining one System Strain, and will regain consciousness at the end of the scene with 1 hit point. If they are already at maximum strain, this cyberware does not function.

Dermal Armor II
$80k | Skin | Touch | Sys. Strain 2
Effect: Heavier subcutaneous plating acts as Dermal Armor I with a base ranged and melee AC of 18, and +1 to trauma target. In addition, the user can ignore the first instance of Shock in a round.

Muscle Fiber Replacement I
$50k | Limb | Touch | Sys. Strain 1
Effect: Artificial muscle fibers are implanted as replacements for the user’s own flesh. The subject gains a Strength score of 14, or +2 if already 14 or higher.

Cybereyes (pair)
$10k | Sensory | Touch | Sys. Strain 0.25
Effect: These cybereyes are clearly artificial, though most are styled in attractive or striking fashions. They all have perfect 20/20 vision and integral flash protectors, but additional functionality must be implanted separately. A user with a pair of cybereyes or syntheyes halves the System Strain cost of cybernetic eye implants.

Eye Mod/Infrared Vision
$5k | Sensory | Medical | Sys. Strain 0.25 (0.5 halved)
Effect: The infrared vision this mod allows permits basic navigation in dark areas and makes the presence of heat sources such as humans, engines, and infrared tripwires very obvious. The user gains a +1 bonus on any Notice checks to detect the presence of thermally-unshielded living creatures.

Gunlink
$25k | Sensory | Touch | Sys. Strain 1
Effect: Hardwired control points interface with the onboard targeting systems of most modern firearms. When using a modern firearm, the PC ignores range penalties and negates up to 2 points of hit penalties for cover, concealment, or prone targets. Once per scene, as an Instant action, they can reroll a missed attack roll with a gun.

ACQUAINTANCES
Ephraim Dulac: the man who was once Ryoko's squad leader for her enforcer group with in Arabashi Ltd. They've known each other for years, and though they've never been close outside work, they've always shared a bond of trust one would expect of their brothers and sisters in arms. He knows that Ryoko was only fired due to her outspoken distaste for Dynamism, and that he has only remained employed because he was more careful about revealing his similar sentiments. As such, he still views Ryoko with respect and is willing to aid her within reason.

Lil Scotty: a skilled hacker who is a low-ranking member of the 3189 Crew. Ryoko met him doing a security detail for the gang, and helped protect him from some Blood Horde members he tried to pawn some intel off on. He now sees Ryoko as his guardian angel who can keep him safe from his seedy tendencies, and tries to call on her aid more than she'd like. The last time she helped him, she told him off for his lack of discretion and general disloyalty to the 3189, seeing it as a fast way for him to end up dead. Despite her annoyance with the man, she does see him as a useful person to know, as having a contact within the 3189 helps her get new jobs and firmware from the group.

"Worth a shot, but gotta keep us steady too," Reiji says through gritted teeth, his grip on the wheel growing even tighter as he jerks the car over and attempts to ram one of the motorcyclists. Slippery little bastards, I would know. But can give 'em a serious case of road burn if I pull it off.

The taxi slams into the side of one of the motorcycles, pushing it across the road. Its rider tries his best to break free, but his efforts are in vein as Reiji pushes him to the edge of the road. The bike clips a lamppost, spraying plastic and carbon fibre everywhere as the impact destroys the vehicle. The ganger is thrown from the bike, hurtling through the air before smashing into the windscreen of a parked car, quickly left behind as the chase continues to race through the streets of Hawthorne.

With one of the bikers taken out, and taking fire from your crew, the gangers riding in the pickup truck open fire. One, wielding a submachine gun, sprays wildly as the truck lurches around, while two others open up with pistols, one hitting the taxi shattering the rear window.

Go: Everyone

"Holy shit," Li Fei mumbles as she watches the motorcyclist careen off-course and get thrown through a windshield. The velocity and angle of impact has that poor bastard at 10% survival rate, tops.

She turns her attention back toward her cyber avatar, manifesting as a literal red devil this time — horns and flaring nostrils and flecks of spittle upon her chapped lips. She clears her throat, a viscous, toxic phlegm accumulating in her serpentine maw, before spitting it in a lobbed arc toward the driver. Her shot goes wide, but the acidic spray from the near-miss covers her target's eyes in a thick goop.

"Things just went dark for that clown," Li Fei says with a sneering grin.

With her previous shot as a reference point, Ryoko quickly recalibrates her gunlink's settings for the high speed scenario they are in now, and fires off another shot at the last remaining biker. This time the shot is dead on, causing the motorcycle to lose control as its rider perishes. Much better

He knows that Ryoko was only fired due to her outspoken distaste for Dynamism, and that he has only remained employed because he was more careful about revealing his similar sentiments. As such, he still views Ryoko with respect and is willing to aid her within reason.

Lil Scotty: a skilled hacker who is a low-ranking member of the 3189 Crew. Ryoko met him doing a security detail for the gang, and helped protect him from some Blood Horde members he tried to pawn some intel off on. He now sees Ryoko as his guardian angel who can keep him safe from his seedy tendencies, and tries to call on her aid more than she'd like. The last time she helped him, she told him off for his lack of discretion and general disloyalty to the 3189, seeing it as a fast way for him to end up dead. Despite her annoyance with the man, she does see him as a useful person to know, as having a contact within the 3189 helps her get new jobs and firmware from the group.

Elodie grips the steering wheel so tight that her knuckles whiten. At least the rest of the group has got this, she thinks with relief as from the corner of her eye she notices that Reiji and Ryoko hit their respective targets. But she is neither a driver nor a fighter, and if there is any way for her to get out of here as soon as possible, she figures she should take It. So as much as she can while also keeping the large trailblazer on the road, she looks around for an exit.

EDGES AND FOCI
EDGES

Face: Gain Connect as a bonus skill. Once per game week, whenever it’s convenient, gain one temporary Acquaintance Contact of your choice, describing them in any way the GM finds acceptable. You lose touch with this Contact after you use this Edge again, but you can use this Edge to connect with them again at a different time. You may also provide favors or payment sufficient to
cement the relationship at the GM’s discretion.

Voice of the people: You are a rocker, graffiti artist, poet, demagogue, or other rabble-rouser with a considerable reputation. You gain both levels of the Pop Idol Focus and an additional Friend Contact related to your art.

FOCI

Authority: You have an uncanny kind of charisma about you, one that makes others instinctively follow your instructions and further your causes. Where this Focus refers to followers, it means NPCs who have voluntarily chosen to be in your service. PCs never count as followers.
Level 1: Gain Lead as a bonus skill. Once per day, you can make a request from an NPC who is not openly hostile to you, rolling a Cha/Lead skill check at a difficulty of the NPC’s Morale score. If you succeed, they will comply with the request, provided it is not harmful or very uncharacteristic.
Pop Idol (through Voice of the People: Whether a street musician, graffiti artist, underground journalist, cam girl, folk singer, or Robin Hood-esque thief, you have a devoted following of enthusiasts who are willing to help you when you need them.
Level 1: Gain Perform as a bonus skill. Once per game week, with an hour or so of messaging, you can mobilize about a hundred of your fans to perform some act of your choice, provided it’s no more than mildly criminal or slightly dangerous. Flashmobs, getaway drivers, scouting reports, tailing people, or instant parties might all qualify as services. Your fans don’t have any special skills, but they’ll do anything ordinary workers or civilians could do. If you mobilize them for donations or merch purchases, you get $1,000 per character level, doubled at fifth level and quadrupled at tenth. You can’t mobilize them to buy your content more than once per month.
Level 2: You can mobilize up to a hundred fans per character level, though major mobs are likely to draw a law enforcement response. You’ve cultivated fan leaders who can pass along your wishes deniably, concealing your involvement in the crowd. Your donation and merch earning amounts double. Your Charisma modifier increases by +1, to a maximum of +2.

CONTACTS
FRIENDS
Elodie's most important friend is Meredith Skyler, a 58 year old woman with long curly hair who is always dressed in a sharp suit. She was Elodie's manager back in the day and stood up for her when she was fired. Meredith is one of the top managers of Galaxy Express, Elodie's old label, and thus still has many contacts in the industry.

ACQUAINTANCES
1. Nolan Maxwell, a 72 year old retired PI whose most striking physical characteristic is his huge moustache. He was Elodie's employer and they still keep in contact occasionally after he retired. He still has some contacts with the Hawthorne police, as he used to work with them quite a lot back in the day.
2. Lian Zhang, 35, and one of Elodie's old background dancers when she was still touring. They now teach dancing in Northlake to the children and the few adults that have the time to spare in the gated company town of Falcon Financial. And as people tend to get a bit... looser within their own company town, it means that Lian occasionally catches the interesting bit of Falcon gossip, either straight from the parents or via their children.

Damn, nice shot, cuz. Reiji smirks, seeing the other motorcycle crash after this cousin's well placed bullet. He looks to Li Fei in his peripherals for a moment before back to the road. "Not bad, Red," he says, eyeing their pursuers in his mirrors. "Let's get the fuck out of here before the lights come back on."

As the driver of the pickup truck loses his vision, both the taxi and the Trailblazer speed away. The driver slams on the brakes in an attempt to avoid a crash whilst his eyes reboot, however his efforts are in vain, as the truck veers to the side of the road, mounting the kerb and plowing through several parking meters before crashing into a wooden utility pole. You are unable to see little of the carnage left in your wake however, as you continue to race through the traffic for a few blocks, taking a couple of turns before slowing down to legal speeds once you've put some distance between you and the crashed gangers.
Mechanics
Trailblazer

Ryoko: shoots, hits, kills.

Elodie: attempts escape, Pickup rolls 4, escape attempt successful.

Taxi

Li Fei: runs sabotage program, fails, runs deactivate program, succeeds.

Pickup

Ganger 3: Reactivates cybereyes, loses control, fails luck save, crashes, fails one save and passes the other, takes 4 damage.

Ganger 4: crashes, fails one save and passes the other, takes 4 damage.

Ganger 5: crashes, fails both saves and is mortally wounded/killed.

Ganger 6: crashes, passes both saves and is unscathed.

"I don't think the lights are coming back on," Li Fei says, leaning halfway into the backseat to get a view out of the rear window. "Wouldn't wanna be the boss of these clowns' outfit tonight."

She sits back into her seat, collapsing in exhaustion. Frayed nerves and a couple scrapes. Nothing permanent, that's what matters.

"Let's get off the streets, and then coordinate with the suit."

Will send a text to the others, picking a mundane and quiet part of Hawthorne to regroup at.

Elodie's grip on the steering wheel loosens as she realizes that, due to some stroke of amazing luck, they're leaving their pursuers behind. Once she's made her way back to legal speeds, the adrenaline that was rushing through her body has calmed down enough that she trusts her voice again. "Are both of you alright?" she asks her companions on the trailblazer.

Then there's a noise from her bag, a few instrumental bars from one of her old songs, signaling an incoming text message. "I assume that's one of the others. Mister Palmer, would you be able to read that for me?"
