Rotten to the Core

Adventure in the cesspool of Libreville¸ at the foot of Earth's beanstalk. I imagine the movie Bladerunner would make excellent inspiration for this module.
Jean-François told me it was a done deal. When the man who had stood back to back with me at seven different Speed Demon rumbles had a proposal¸ I listened. And silly me¸ I believed him. I should have learned Lesson #1 a long time ago: In Libreville¸ a trusting soul is a dead one.
All my friends and I had to do was to provide a little "expertise" and security while Jean-François arranged a buyer for a piece of hot tech that had fallen into his hands like a ripe apple. Just a matter of a phone call or two and a couple of low-profile meets.
Nothing is ever that simple. Now Jean-François is dead¸ a victim of forgetting Lesson #2: Never let your guard down¸ even among friends. And all of us who went up into the Trilon Building to meet Jean-François are now trying our best to get out alive - something which the entirety of Trilon security¸ both human and electronic¸ would dearly love not to see happen. This is turning into a Class A¸ #1 Bad Day. But what should I have expected in a ciy that's rotten to the core?
