Bolthole, Anyone else ever do this? Options

[Phasma Felis]

I was looking at the permanent-lifestyle rule, the one that allows you to get a lifestyle permanently by paying 100 times the base monthly price. While making my rat shaman, Templeton, I bought a permanent squatter lifestyle for 10,000 :nuyen:, half of his starting 20,000 :nuyen:. His squat is part of an ancient sub-sub-basement from a long-demolished building, accessible through a hidden door off a secondary sewer tunnel. He paid a good decker to hide its utility feeds in the bills of nearby businesses; the consumption is so low that no one's ever likely to notice. It's got water, power, and a text-only Matrix feed, space to lay out sleeping pads for half a dozen people (if they're friendly), and several months' worth of ration bars in a box in the corner, as well as a shelf for Templeton's eclectic collection of old paper books.

Every rat needs a bolthole, and this is Templeton's: a place to disappear to when the heat is on, where most folks will never think of looking. It's paid up through eternity, so even if he falls on hard times it'll always be there for him. He tries not to spend a lot of time there, in case someone tails him; usually he'll sleep in coffin hotels, in various squats around the barrens, or on the streets. Rat's not picky.
