Jane's Deception: A BLACK HACK Adventure
 |
Doctor Elias Poole was a freelance researcher who worked by and for himself¸ making breakthroughs on his own and then contracting out to whichever foundation or corporation required those breakthroughs. He'd had a few setbacks¸ but lately things had been looking up. He had made a series of minor advances that gave others a framework to build upon; and he'd met Jane¸ a beautiful young woman who hung on his every word and denied him nothing¸ including her passion.
But since he had made his discoveries¸ he had started to reflect more on the future ramifications of his work. Lacking others to talk to who would understand¸ he tried discussing the subject with Jane¸ who would just give him a blank stare¸ tell him not to worry about it¸ and start doing those things she knew always…distracted him.
Fast-forward to this morning: Jane finally blew up at Doc¸ saying he should just keep at his work and not worry about what comes after. That's when he finally put his foot down; he would stop work on his research altogether.
She really didn't like hearing that...
Jane's Deception is a cyberpunk adventure¸ set in the near future (anytime within the next 25-75 years) for use with David Black's The Black Hack. When an acquaintance in the scientific community is killed¸ and his data stolen¸ the heroes find themselves in a struggle to get it back from the con woman who stole it before she can sell it to the highest bidder.
The Game Master (GM) must have a copy of David Black's The Black Hack to play.
