The Osiris Chip (Cyberpunk) [digital]
 |
Cyberpsychosis... a devastating mental disorder in the world of Cyberpunk 2020. Those who get too much "metal" -- cybernetic enhancements -- may become more machine than man¸ dangerous technological monsters with no regard for humankind.
But a new chip has hit the streets. It claims to restore humanity to those who have fallen for cyberpsychosis -- restoring them to human life¸ as Osiris was resurrected by Isis in Egyptian mythology. In fact the chip makes the cyborgs into zombie slaves for a corporation's nefarious plans.
The players' involvement is simple enough. When their characters take up an offer for a cut in some anti-corp action¸ they find themselves in a tight spot -- suspected of distributing the chip¸ while being hunted by its true owners. The punks must think back to idle encounters at the start of the adventure. Someone set them up. They have to find out who. By working their way back through the members of the O-Zone gang¸ the party may find its way to the real culprits.
Once the punks learn who their enemies are¸ they can think about revenge¸ and excavate the secret laboratory of the Osiris Chip.
