Browse Public Files
You can't find anything but meeting minutes, project plans, and calendar entries. You read over a couple files before your eyes feel like they'll start bleeding.
And then one of:
<name> is apparently a business but it's hard to say what they sell for sure. It's just… jargon and corporate red tape a mile deep.
You've earned 2 XP in Will
… Actually… this business plan looks pretty detailed and a little shady. You're not sure who wants to see <name> take a dive the most, but they'd probably pay good money.
You found: business plan
Reroute Shipment
You direct a shipment passing through Metroplex to an address near your place. It's dutifully dropped off by the mail drones and you swing by once they're gone.
You found: 2-5? of biomonitor circuit, signal analysis circuit, capacitor array, processor chip, memory stick, targeting circuit, thick cabling, unformatted memory core (others?)
And then one of:
(nothing else)
Hidden in the lining of the box, there's a handful of unformatted memory cores. <Name> must be smuggling them.
You found: 2-3 unformatted memory core
Near the bottom of the shipment, hidden among the other electronics, is a Zaibatsu neural bridge. They're illegal here, but someone apparently thought they could sneak it through in the shipment.
You found: neural bridge
Steal Funds
You brazenly transfer some funds over to your account.
You gained 76-80 credits!
or, condition?
You transfer some funds down to your account. Hopefully your shielding programs will prevent them from connecting the dots.
You gained x credits!
Misdirect Supplies
You reroute a pack of electronics to an address near your place. It's filled with random electronic parts, but you might be able to put them to some use.
You found: 4-5? of frayed cable, circuit fragments, microcapacitor, optical sensor
Browse Hidden Files (requires Deep File Scan)
You find their design archive. The designs aren't all terribly new, but you go ahead and do a quick search for anything interesting.
And then one of (only if you don't know the recipe yet):
You find an old, old file detailing the process for making gold processors like they used to back in the day. It wouldn't be hard to whip up, as long as you had some gold.
You've learned a new quest recipe: gold processor - Coat a Processor Chip's connections with Gold Foil
You find their design archive. The designs aren't all terribly new, but you go ahead and do a quick search for anything interesting.
There's a new design for signal buffers. You're not terribly familiar with the old design, but it looks like you should be able to build one easily enough.
You've learned a new quest recipe: signal buffer - Pair a Signal Analysis Circuit with a Capacitor Array
You find their design archive. The designs aren't all terribly new, but you go ahead and do a quick search for anything interesting.
They've been working on a cheaper alternative to signal buffers called a safety loop. You take some notes. Looks like something you could make with an electrical kit easily enough.
You've learned a new quest recipe: safety loop - Set a Signal Analysis Circuit to watch the signals on a Frayed Cable
They have a file detailing a twitch controller. It looks like they intend to use them for military aircraft, but they'd work with a computer just as well.
You've learned a new quest recipe: twitch controller - Rig up two Optical Sensors with a Biomonitor Circuit for lightning fast control
You find their design archive. The designs aren't all terribly new, but you go ahead and do a quick search for anything interesting.
Apparently they've been working on needler coils. It apparently hasn't been going very well, but you take the results so far.
You've learned a new quest recipe: magnetic coil - Charge two coils of Thick Cabling with a Capacitor Array
They're working on a secret project, something called a mimetic sheet. You download the specs.
Huh, wearable memory. That's kind of interesting.
You've learned a new quest recipe: mimetic sheet - Create a flexible circuit board with two Polysteel, two Gold Foils, and four Formatted Memory Cores
Or, if you know all of the above:
You find a whole section of the archive filled with basic circuit designs.
(Learn all the recipes from Electrical Engineering I and Electrical Engineering II that you did not already know)
Or, if you know all the EEI & EEII recipes too:
There's nothing in their design archive you haven't seen already, just a few incremental improvements. You feel a surge of pride.
