son Greywall at his retirement lat in London. (he initial
contat is up to the Gamesmater. Perhaps Greywall is already
acquainted with one or more of the charaters, either as an ally
or foe, or his reputation as a notorious invetigator in his day
has piqued the charaters’ curiosity.) He resides in a classic cof-
in of a lat, with room for a bed, a few dressers, and a table with
some malfuntioning equipment on it. here is a metal frame
balcony but no ire escape. He does, however, keep a supply of
liquor nearby, quite againt rules, and he’ll readily share this
with the charaters.
Greywall reveals, with some self-importance, that age is inal-
ly creeping up on him, and he wants to take care of some loose
ends, yet he can no longer do so by himself. He tells them of a

of the mirror behind the bar. It’s a place
where hackers socialize and trade secrets.

says he’ll inform them after they get
the package. (He knows where he wants
them to deliver it; he is jut being overly
cryptic and cautious.)
PART 2:
InTo ThE ScoPE
T
he charaters are free to explore
package that he wants delivered, and he
plays it up as something of great impor-
tance. (he atual content of the pack-
age is entirely up to you, but it should
be important, perhaps more than even
Greywall realizes.)
Unfortunately, Greywall does
not know where the package is. His
deceased partner atually hid it years
ago. After a round of drinks, he reveals
that the location of the package is writ-
ten on the back of a mirror in Walker’s
Pub, which is in the Scope. (Greywall
is the only one who knows how to deci-
pher the code the package is written in,
but he does not tell the charaters about
this at this time.)
“I’ve got a package needs delivering. I don’t
plan on paying you, but if you want in on
the whole show with lots of ation, it’s there
for the taking. If you do this proper, you
can build a rep for yourself and maybe
name your own price down the road. I’m
too old and too messed up to get the deliv-
and learn more about the Great
Metropolis and Edison Greywall. At
some point, they will want to visit the
Scope and visit Walker’s Pub. his is a
chance for the GM to place people in the
pub who can provide more information
to the charaters, or even plant seeds for
subsequent adventures.
How the charaters get to look at the
back of the mirror behind the bar is up
to them. If they tart a ight or break the
mirror, they may not be welcome back
into the pub without an apology. Earnet
Pink is jut as likely to show them the
back of the mirror if they ask and explain
their reasons, jut out of sheer curiosity.

one or two Scope tabs for each member
of the party. he DC for the acquisi-
tion check is 15 (but remember that this
does not lower the buyer’s Wealth rat-
ing unless he takes 20 to purchase it).
Charaters can add their ranks in Crime
or Street inluence to the acquisition
checks to purchase Scope tabs. Once
a charater successfully purchases one
Scope tab, the ret of the tabs can be pur-
chased for the same price, and the other
charaters don’t need to make checks.

If the charaters do not have

ply them.
he Scope resembles the Great
Metropolis — to a point. Incredible
buildings tretch up towards a green
clouded sky. he designs are more fan-
tatic than reality, some defying the
normal laws of physics. It is not crowd-
ed, but there are people of all shapes and
sizes walking along the treets or mov-
ing in trange vehicles. Everyone looks
healthy and trong and rich. Some peo-
ple are giants, others have glowing white
angel wings. A lady made of translucent
glass is walking down the treet. People

scope riders:
Dubbing themselves
the Flat Riders, this band of techno-
geeks, headed by Earnet Pink, tarts
following the charaters after they visit
Walker’s Pub. hey are named after
a program they developed that allows
them to jump from lat to lat within the
Scope. hey use binoculars and other
technology to follow the charaters.
hey avoid physical encounters, but
the average tats of a Flat Rider appear
at the end of the adventure jut in case.
he Flat Riders are simply intereted in
the charaters, but their presence can
add a sense of paranoia and conpiracy
to the game. hey are also a resource
and potential ally should the charaters
ind and contat them; otherwise, the
Flat Riders only watch and record the
charaters’ ativities through the adven-
ture.
he Flat Riders are a secretive organi-
zation. A DC 20 Intelligence or Street
inluence check is required to contat
a Flat Rider. However, if the charac-
ters use Walker’s Pub to try to contat
a member, the check is automatically a
success.

in a type E environment, patrons mut

Chapter VI: he Scope in the

core book for more information.)
Walker’s Pub is a short walk from
where the charaters initially arrive. A
DC 10 Scope Awareness check allows a
PC to pot the pub.
combat in the pub:
Besides Ear-
net Pink, a number of Scope riders are
hanging out in the pub when the PCs
arrive. Use the tats for a Flat Rider (at
the end of the adventure), although not
all of the occupants are atually mem-
bers of that group.
Location of the package:
On the
back of the mirror is a set of numbers.
he numbers provide the location and
security code of a safety deposit box at
a private bank in the Great Metropo-
lis, Bradford & Barclay’s. A DC 10
Research check allows a PC to discover
this information.
Getting the Number:
he player
charaters have a number of options to
discover the number on the back of the
mirror. he mot traightforward is to
lay wate to everything in sight, though
doing so attrats a lot of attention and
the enmity of any Scope riders the PCs
blow back to Prime Reality.
Another option is to simply ask Ear-
net to look at the back of the mirror.
Earnet is amiable but curious; part of
his business is to know secrets, and if
the PCs ask to look at the mirror, he
looks as well, though he doesn’t know
what the numbers mean. He asks many
quetions of the PCs, some of which
they may not be able to answer. A DC
10 Diplomacy check convinces him to
allow the PCs a look, but they need a
DC 25 Diplomacy check to get them of
their backs afterward.
A third possibility is to ditrat Ear-
net (and the clientele) in order to sneak
a peek. For intance, charaters might
alter their avatars to appear to be con-
tabulary members, or they might tage
a ight outside the pub, drawing people’s
attention.
Clever players will think of many oth-
er ways to resolve this problem; reward
intelligent resolutions.
