Neon Shadows

Welcome to Cyberpunk Metropolis, a world of neon-lit streets and towering skyscrapers. You find yourself in the heart of the Lively City, surrounded by a bustling crowd of humans and cyborgs. Where would you like to go?

You approach a towering skyscraper, its surface a shimmering mix of glass and steel. The entrance is guarded by corporate security drones. A holographic sign reads “MegaCorp Industries.” Do you want to try entering or explore elsewhere?

As you approach, a security drone scans you. A robotic voice asks, “State your business.” The lobby beyond looks pristine and high-tech. How do you respond to the drone? Do you have a reason to be here?

I apologize for the confusion. As the game master, I don't determine your character's identity - that's for you to decide. You're the protagonist in this cyberpunk world. What kind of person are you? A corporate spy, a street-smart hacker, or something else? You can define your character now.

Understood. You're a spy who's fallen in love with a lawyer. This adds an interesting dynamic to your character. Given your profession, you might have ways to infiltrate the building. How do you want to approach the security drone? Use a cover story, hack it, or try another method?

I understand your frustration. Let's simplify. As a spy, you have a few potential cover stories:

1. Corporate consultant
2. Job applicant
3. Delivery person
4. Maintenance worker

Which of these feels most comfortable for you to use? Or if you have another idea, feel free to suggest it.

Alright, you've chosen to pose as a job applicant. Smart choice. You approach the security drone confidently.

“I'm here for a job interview in the HR department,” you state calmly.

The drone processes this information. What details do you want to add to make your story more convincing?

Clever addition to your cover story. You confidently tell the drone:

“I'm here for a job interview in the HR department. I've been designing drones like yourself all my life. I'm hoping to bring that expertise to MegaCorp Industries.”

The drone pauses, processing. Its lights flicker. Will this personal touch convince it?

Your confidence pays off. The drone's lights turn green, and it responds, “Access granted. Proceed to the 42nd floor for HR.”

The glass doors slide open, revealing a sleek elevator bay. As you step inside, you notice cameras tracking your movement. The elevator awaits. What's your next move?

You step into the transparent glass elevator. As the doors close, a holographic interface appears, showing floor options. The elevator starts ascending smoothly, offering a dizzying view of the city below.

Suddenly, your communicator vibrates. It's a message from your lawyer love interest. Do you check it now or wait?
