Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
The Cyberpunk Meme

Welcome to the future. Unfortunately, it's not all it's cracked up to be. The very definition of the term cyberpunk is "high tech, low life." These are worlds defined by poverty or absolute control, where the net is your only escape from the troubles of the world. Cyborgs, metahumans, AIs, corporations with undisputed power are what's being served out here. Do you have what it takes to survive?

To get started, you can create a scenario for yourself, or merely go to the Random Number Generator and choose a pre-made one for you and your partner.

1. You or your partner (or both) is a hacker who just stumbled across the biggest information leak of your lives. This could make or break the two of you, if you know how to handle the consequences of your following action.

2. In the real world, people wouldn't waste their spit on scum like you. But in the net? You're a god, peddling information and resources better than Wal-Mart. Just be careful who you talk to. Not everyone thinks what you do is a good thing.

3. The corporations, the government, the gangs, the machines. It doesn't matter who it is, but you're tired of their interference in your life. Are the two of you ready to take them on?

4. You're the king or queen of your private enterprise. You have it all: A private army, AIs capable of placating the masses, connections even better than the government, and a demeanor that could charm Satan himself. However, there's still that little nuisance known as the underdog, and they're knocking at your door.

5. You just got that newest drug shipment in, and it promises to be the biggest trip in your life. It promises to make you stronger, faster, smarter, and sexier, all in one hit. The only thing left is to try it.

6. People are disappearing, and no one seems to notice or care, except you and your partner. The only thing? They're also your worst enemy.

7. You've just been kidnapped, and unfortunately, your partner's the kidnapper. What's their motive? Can you escape?

Anything I forgot, go ahead and play it. Make your own world, your own personalities. Have fun!

"Killjoys, tonight we are going to make some noise." She was as excited about this as a kid on Christmas morning. It was a plan that was years in the making and it was finally all coming together. The killjoys had been a sect of the Lo-Teks once upon a time, they shared the same core values even still: renouncing technology and living by their wits.

The Killjoys were more militant about it, however, thinking that everyone should renounce it, get themselves out from under the all-seeing eye of Big Brother.
Which was exactly what this plan of theirs was intended to do, take 90% of the city's power grid offline. Leaving the necessary power for hospitals and waste treatment plants, things that people would, in fact, die without. It wasn't their intention to kill anyone, at least not by accident.

"You have your orders." She told the demo crews, "And you have your supplies. Get into position and wait for my signal."
