A Letter from Ironsight to Raven

Well the last session was certainly an interesting one, and probably the most difficult one for my character to date. Without further ado, I present a -potential- letter that would have been written to Raven at least a day later, possibly more.

NPC Spotlight: Alchemy

So tonight you met this little charmer, lovely girl, isn't she?

What you know: 

• She's a grade A profiler and runs intricate background checks for the Four by Forties.
• She's a technomancer.
• She was on a Shadowrun with Alexi and Raven five years ago.
• She's ruthless, blunt and 110% devoted to Raven and the Four by Forties.

• Okay, this should give you the skinny on Evo Corporation and what the hell is going on with the Mars project/colony. It took me a little bit of work to get this to you, but I'm hoping you can do an hour-long special about it on the evening news. Don't you dare reveal your sources. [attached file: EvoMars.xdf]

• That should cover me nicely! Already transmitting the nuyen. Enjoy.

Ancient Data Scraps II

Hey it's me again, time for another journal fragment from the life of some long forgotten queen. I'm not going to doctor all of them up to look funky since that took almost as long to do as write the actual piece itself. Anyways, here we go.

Kiwi's Refurbished Household

The final touches were put upon the paint and the third floor.  The team of six workers and a shaman that Alexi had hired had completely transformed the estate that Kiwi had put money down on to begin with.  It was now transformed into something more than a home, it was a three-story fortress.

01101011101010100110101001********Gooood morning Carbon based friends,

We have not spoke yet before, well most of us. I have been the whisper of information in the ears of those among you. I just wanted to say thank you, thank you for having the drive and dedication to complete the last difficult mission. It has gotten me one step closer to the freedom of walking under the sun, smelling the air and feeling the warm touch of those I care to. Hence why my dear sister D33G33 would do such a run despite being very.. discomforted.

I have taken the liberty to message you all via comm to cement what will be a great beginning. It's no secret that D33G33 has been under some pressure, it was, to help me and so I wanted to thank her and you all very openly. I would like to extend my offer to help each and every one of you, I assure you I'm quite friendly (right Ironsight??) though I have promised not to bother you directly you can gain my ear by com-calling D33G33 and playing my name in the text..I would love to help each and every one of you. She has reluctantly agreed to this piggyback transmission, she worries ever so much I think its due to where shes from, me, I'm considerably less shy, ask Ironsight I love to show what I'm made of.

I look forward to one day meeting my carbon based family face to face and hugging each and every one of you. Rest assured, we'll all be famous....

Love and laughs...

Da.

My only real contribution to this blog will be silly pictures... :3c

Ancient Data Scraps

Hi, this is Ironsight's player putting up the first of what I plan to be a number of little fragments that shed some light on some potentially important events of the fourth world. Without further ado, let the fun begin.

MetaWerkz - New Metavariants

METAVARIANTS - New

The following is an excerpt from a post to MetaWerkz, the peer to peer forum that's been traded on the downlow since it opened in 2070.  Only a short list of people have access to it, the actual identities of the people involved very concealed.  It's much like JackPoint, except that it features more old-timers, more new-timers, and a much lower profile than JackPoint.

Meeting Mr. Johnson(s)

The Mr. Johnson is a time-honored tradition of Shadowrun.  You go on Shadowruns, courtesy of Mr. Johnson.  Sometimes, this is very organic.  Something is going on and you need to go take care of it.  Sometimes, this is very terrible, doing work for the corp guys one way or another.  This game so far is unusual in that you won't necessarily do work for a corporation, ever.  You might.  But it's probably not going to happen.  Each Mr. Johnson is loaded in their own way and will get you things you couldn't normally get through your usual contacts.

Alexi and Kiwi - SecondLife style

The Official Fourth World Echoes Game Blog!

Well, at least, that's the notion.  I'll be inviting my players to contribute as they like to it, add further to the mythos and the conceptualization of Fourth World Echoes.

I've been asked a few times now what my direct inspirations are for everything under the sun, so I'll just bluntly say all of modernity in terms of pop culture and science fiction bleeds together to give me ideas as of late to the zany NPCs and the bastards y'all have met.  Crossing two to five things together to give rise to a new concept is what I absolutely adore to do, and Shadowrun is the place that I've really felt a deep connection to such a crossing.

Oh, and then there's fantasy, too.

The joy of the Sixth World is that it can be one part Tolkien, one heavy part Cyberpunk, and one part dystopian science fiction.  All of our characters are a product of the three being twisted together in a bizarre triple-strand staircase.  The NPCs are intended to directly reflect this, particularly the Mr. Johnsons.

That's why the next post will be directly about them, with headshots and brief public information!
