Fear & Loathing finds Nels & Jesse standing at the door of the Geostrategic Research & Neothermal Development Laboratories.

Terminal7 9: The Bush Shaking with Guns

The SanSan Cycle begins in the biotech hub of northern California. The Valley hosts the best and brightest biotechology companies in the world and their breakthroughs are now available for both corporations and runner.  A new Jinteki ID has one of the three different abilities, secretly selected by the corp at the start of the game. Runners can now splice their genetic code to be smart, faster, better. Cyberware is tired and primitive, the future is modifying the very programming of life itself.

Terminal7 28: I Believe Denzel is Symmetrical

Clone suffrage is the biggest political question in the Indian Union, but there is an even more fundamental question beneath it- are clones human? Echoing back to the outlawed caste system, the answer seems obvious on its surface. But the consequence are more wide-spread than they might first appear. If clones are people with the right to vote, does that mean Jinteki can now simply print new voters, genetically engineered toward a certain ideology? 

Whatever the outcome, the actions leading up to that decision will change the world's largest democracy forever. Terminal7 discusses those questions and more as they break down the third data back in the Mumbad cycle, Democracy & Dogma.

Join Nels and Jesse in crashing the soirée and find out!
