The Runners open a box to find...
...several hundred copies of Duke Nukem Forever. ...an extremely old piece of parchment written in Hebrew. When translated it says "This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance" The rest is unreadable. ...a copy of "To serve Man." ...some old legal documents that seem to state that Ehran the Scribe used to be named Warren Spector. ...a small phial filled with a light blue liquid and labeled "Drink me." If the liquid is ingested the label changes to say "Thank you." ...a roll of bath tissue that never seems to diminish in size, no matter how much it is unrolled. ...a container of marbles labeled Tom Cruise. ...a prototype Fairlight Excaliber cyberdeck. It has a Radio Shack logo on it. ...a data storage module labeled GLADoS. ...a vintage copy of The Hobbit signed by Caimbeul. ...the source code for Miracle Shooter. ...Sheogorath. ...a shipment of Program Carriers. ...a very old, large tome. Every page is blank. Any attempt to mark, tear, mar or otherwise change the book is unsuccessful. Every now and then you feel like the tome is watching you. Even though that is just silly. Isn't it? |

A deck of playing cards, that include instructions to only draw 1 card at a time, which, when does, produces random effects.

An enthusiastic crowd and a showhost who congratulates the characters on achieving such a good score on So You Think You Can Run?, and then deactivates their personafix chips, turning them back into Joe Wageslave & Friends.

A Force 20 Blood Spirit. And the Blood Mage that binds it on a regular basis.
Twin six-to-ten year old girls in identical dresses, each holding the arm of a teddy bear between them. When they see the PCs, they request the PCs come play with them. Forever, and ever, and ever. An old jukebox full of records that each hold what seems like the same song, complete with haunting violins, bagpipes, and organwork. The lyrics are in latin, though anyone with passing knowledge in Latin would quickly figure out that they're spouting gibberish. If they play the records backwards, in sequence (from last to first), they find it's a recorded summoning ritual... and they wind up summoning the spirit of President Dunkelzahn. Or a reasonable facsimile. A Toxic Spirit and a Blood Spirit working together. |

Ugh. Tangenital maybe, but I find Bun-Bun to be one of the worst thought out comic characters in existence. The best advances in the story arc and background of that damn strip happen when the rabbit is nowhere near them.

What about the remains of some old world war two crypto paraphernalia, which includes some of Allen Turing's journals on their efforts to to solve Enigma? Somewhere within the journals there could be further information about his thoughts on the Turing machines and how to create some better software...

If you use a random Aztechnology warehouse, it's likely the box is whatever the barcode says it is. Aztechnology is possibly the biggest consumer-products retailer in the world. Odds of it being something icky are small in a distribution warehouse.
Weird stuff is kept someplace safe, usually. Now in a factory that produces computer terminals, you have a few more options, because small runs of specialty equipment could have been programmed into the fabricators and and are awaiting shipping, with labels that for legal and inventory reasons could be mistaken for ordinary terminals. So that box could be: 1) Security grade Cyberdecks destined for the black market. 2) Ordinary-looking terminals for a test market that include experimental psychotropic conditioning chips to increase consumer loyalty. 3) Disposable one-shot firewall crackers/ ice breakers aimed at a particular competitor operating system. (for sale on the street) 4) Computers (like it says on the box) 5) Whoops - The box was mislabeled. It's actually a case of the new Aztech-Atari 6000x simsense game system - configured for sale in California. |
