The Sprawl: Hardline run
You are Jack "Cyber" Chen, a skilled decker known for your ability to bypass even the most sophisticated security systems in the sprawling metropolis known as The Sprawl. Your lean frame and jet-black hair mark you as a typical street kid, but your eyes reveal a sharp intelligence that has kept you alive in this dangerous world. You're currently in Molly's hideout, a converted warehouse in the Historic District that serves as a safehouse and headquarters for Case's Misfits. The dimly lit room is cluttered with old medical equipment and weapons, the smell of antiseptic mingling with gunpowder. Through the grimy windows, you can see the neon glow of the city's towering skyscrapers in the distance. Molly, your boss and one of the most feared street samurals in the Sprawl, stands by a battered console, her chrome-laced hands hovering over the keyboard. Her mirrorshades reflect the glow of the screen as she turns to face you. "Got a job for you, Jack. Big payoff, but it's gonna be risky. Some corp's got data we need, and their ICE is supposed to be state-of-the-art. You up for it?"
