This track is last for a reason, I wrote and sang it after a long campaign where we lost two members of our tight-knit team - one was a casualty, and the other gave his life so the rest of the team could escape. 

This is how I imagined the other team members must have felt as they were driving home from the run - a painful mix of grief, sorrow, loss, strength, and hope. Trying to find the strength to keep going, and knowing that they probably won't be the last friends you lose in such a dangerous line of work. Doing your best to honor them and to always remember their sacrifice. 

The lyrics are:

"Sometimes life can bring you pain,
It's the nature of this game,
But you know it won't be long...
And I see you can be strong...
One day it will work out fine,
You just need to take the time,
To remember those you left behind."

I got to thinking what it would be like to be a musician in the Shadowrun world, someone who chose to use their gift of music to help protect their team members. 

It would be a bittersweet thing to do - sweet because you are helping those you care about, but bitter because you may have to see them get hurt or even die in their line of work as Runners. 

So this track is inspired by that - a mage with musical talent who has chosen the Path of the Bard, and must decide how to best use his gift of music in a hurting world.

A light-hearted dance track with a bit of humor - it starts with a couple who have been waiting in line for hours to get into the exclusive Seattle night club 'Dantes Inferno'. The intro voices are Rori (the troll bouncer), Gwyn (the poor jilted date), and me (the snobby girl).

In this track a decker runs into some serious Intrusion Countermeasures (IC). Unlike White, Trace, and Grey IC which are designed to simply locate and/or stop a decker, Black IC is designed to directly harm the decker, maybe even even kill him with a lethal jolt of biofeedback. 

Whatever the type of Black IC the decker encounters in this track it sounds pretty nasty! What type of IC is it, and who wins in the end as human and program probe each other's weaknesses and try to stay alive? I will leave that up to you to decide ;)

This track was me imagining what it must be like for a decker to plug in and go for a stroll through cyberspace - the bright lights, the movement, time flowing differently, discovering the unexpected. The modem sound at the end is him unplugging.

This piece was inspired by Yraen - the decker played by my husband Rori (aka Cullyn, who wrote the next piece).

My favourite Shadowrun character to play was my Lion Shaman Elle. She had a tough-girl attitude, a short shock of bright red hair, and a soft spot for stray animals (don't we all) :) 

I wrote this song about her - a girl who was part jungle, part city, and part crazy ;) She was always a lot of fun to play.
