Golden Ticket

Item

Image
Description	This little bundle of encrypted data apparently contains a serial number linked to your account information at the Golden Chip. They certainly are careful about their information for folks who claim to be all about its freedom. And, it really shouldn't bother you, but the icon for the data is clearly an orange ticket. You don't know if it's a strange joke or pure laziness, but it couldn't possibly be that hard to get a picture of a gold ticket somewhere.
Type	Data (Quest)

Previous to March 24th, 2016(?)

First time selling anything to the Golden Chip:

You follow the breadcrumbs, finding the Golden Chip's current location. Avatars drift effortlessly through a field of circuitry and floating lights.

It takes a while, and a few uncomfortable questions, but you track someone down who's willing to buy your <item(s)>. They beam over an encrypted package with the payment.

Further times:

You head back to the Golden Chip. There's a different crowd here… or possibly all the same people with different avatars. It can be hard to say.

It takes a while, and a few uncomfortable questions, but you track someone down who's willing to buy your <item(s)>. They beam over an encrypted package with the payment.
