TOC and Timestamps: ** Introduction @00:26 ** Play begins: @1:39 Han is at the Petrochem warehouse, trying to gather as much intel as he can before the security team returns. ** Han realizes the security team may have spotted him: @9:40 ** Han overhears what sounds to be Genter expressing anger that he’s lost his one and only sample(!): @12:45 ** Hako, surprisingly awake, tries to close the deal on the new merchandise with his fixer network: @15:18 ** Surány works on understanding why the Petrochem data fortress seems so unique: @21:30 ** Antigone asks Chewie for some input: @25:20 ** Hako and Chewie head out to pick up the new vans: @30:35 ** The team realizes their “fold” problems: @32:45 ** Hako picks up the merchandise: @36:40 ** Hako calls Günther - not sure he fully trusts Chewie: @39:45 ** Antigone reaches out to her contacts to see if there’s any intel on Genter, as well as setting an appointment with Sergei Bratislov of SovOil: @43:10 ** We get a promising lead on a restaurant that Genter likes to frequent: @50:00 ** End of gaming session: @50:58 ** Closing comments: @51:25 INTRODUCTION TEXT: Welcome back to Night City Secrets. The podcast of five gaming friends playing the tabletop RPG Cyberpunk 2020. Tonight we close out session 7. When we left, Eric Genter’s Petrochem Black Ops team had a near miss at our PPC warehouse, thanks to some quick Netrunning by Surány and because we had Han in place to watch them. Antigone’s brother got everyone out and torched the place. Han is now at the Petrochem warehouse alone, doing what he can to collect more intel. Is Genter really there? How many guards does he really have? How penetrable is the location? All that good spy stuff. Meantime, Hako is working his contacts trying to secure some practical and some unorthodox supplies that Antigone is asking for, with a few bonuses thrown in for himself. And Antigone starts the wheels in motion to introduce a major new player -- SovOil, the Russian megacorp who were involved in the Second Corporate War with Petrochem. That war poisoned a large part of the South China Sea and helped serve as the impetus for the creation of our PPC enterprise, in fact, gathering a lot of the refugees from the Pacific Islands. Let’s see if Han can lay low, or if he is gonna start something. CLOSING NOTES: I stopped the recording here, but our conversation went on for another 20 minutes. We got into a long discussion about: is the pacing good? The REF told us he feels like he’s struggling getting everyone equal and ample play time. We all said that we’re quite happy with the pacing - we just enjoy being together. But we did decide that a lot of our game time the past few sessions has been taken up by activities that we think can be better handled out of game -- using our website forums and with private threads and out-of-game conversations that don’t need to happen here to gum up the action. So, after this session, we’re going to be utilizing our forum threads more judiciously. Hopefully, that cuts down on some of the administrative stuff that slows down us getting to the more action-oriented sequences the REF has in mind. If we get an audience, and if any of you want to look at our game threads, just let us know and I can invite you in as a read-only participant. Reach out to us at nightcitysecrets.com and I can get in touch. We’re ending tonight with the team about to head into the city. Antigone is planning on revealing the details of her plan as well as meeting up with Sergei Bratislov of SovOil - if you want to divert attention from yourself, maybe call in the big dog enemy of my enemy and see if that moves the needle, right? And Hako is headed in to a private meeting with his cop friend Marcella at NCPD Vice. Hope to see you again!

The podcast of five gaming friends playing the tabletop RPG Cyberpunk 2020. Lucky episode 13. We closed last time with a high level of confidence that the “Dark” Black Ops warehouse that Genter planned to take Antigone to is not really as dark as we had heard. A pressing concern for us is the PPC sample that we stole back from Petrochem. We don’t know how they got their hands on it, and we don’t know if we took their only specimen. Maybe they have reverse-engineered it, or maybe they’ve replicated it on their own. Either way, that’s a major concern for our home corporation, so Surány gets to work on trying to find more info. And maybe we haven’t learned how to be as discrete as we thought we were. CLOSING NOTES: Well that was a close call. While trying to set up our trap to figure out whether Petrochem really had more samples available, we ended up bringing their security team down onto our PPC site. Thankfully we got the warning out in time and, though we had to burn the assets there, at least I didn’t cause anyone’s death. Now we have their security team flying back, and Han is there alone. Hopefully they don’t spot him, too. But as we all know, Han is a loose canon, and who knows what he might try to do next. We hope you can come back, and we’d certainly love to hear from you.

The podcast of five gaming friends playing the tabletop RPG Cyberpunk 2020. All the way up to episode 12. Still in Season 1, as we’re still following up this Eric Genter rival Petrochem story arc. Send us a note at nightcitysecrets at GMAIL dot COM, leave us a review, we’d love to hear from you. We spent our first night in our new home, and no one died yesterday. So, the bar is pretty low. But the team isn’t exactly feeling warm and fuzzy and tight with each other. There’s still some latent mistrust out there, not to mention some loose ends each of us wants to tie off. Antigone is trying to hatch a plan, while Hako and Surany are trying to close off some business of their own. Without further ado, let’s see how we try to come back out of our shell. CLOSING NOTES: So, not much action this time, but a lot more prep work. But Surány seems to have some decent evidence pointing us to the Petrochem warehouse as the source of our Netrunner nemesis. Han got some more intel on the site and set us up to gather even more. And Hako was able to procure some transportation, some mannequins, an inflatable sheep, and is in the process of getting us more boltholes to run away to. I wonder how we got so paranoid…
