Editing Cyberpunk RED Hooks (section)

== Idol Warfare ==
From https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/76146987/#q76165979

PCs are a Trauma Team (Preferably Meditech, Nomad, Solo, Exec, but any 3 to 5 combo of roles is fine). Everyone gets 2 points in First Aid in addition to other starting skills. Being in a Trauma Team gives them access to cool stuff but they don’t own it exactly (like AV4s).

PCs get a call out - Executive Coverage. It’s an Idol (name and stuff up to GM) whose vitals flagged before going out. Biomonitor has them moving at high speeds from the Playground to Rancho Coronado. PCs are set to intercept and retrieve.

PCs arrive at Coronado. It’s a sprawling tent city with some prefab housing (try to emulate a Mogadishu vibe as the place is full of refugees and homeless), but as the PCs arrive in the sky the biomonitor goes dark. Last location has it at a prefab and tent compound covered in religious iconography - Inquisitors.

PCs can go in shock and awe from the sky, or clean and quiet from the ground. Either way they’ll fight through some Inquisitors (if you haven’t read RED yet, they’re a staunchly anti-cybernetics gang), finding in the end that the Idol’s not there (gasp), just a hacked out biomonitor.

So the chase starts up again. Interrogating some survivors, the PCs can find out that the Idol has been moved to South Night City, and the Inquisitors plan to excise them of their cybernetics live on stream to the Idol’s thousands of followers.

So it’s back in the AV4 they go, flying into one of the worst combat zones in Night City. Hitting the pavement can lead the PCs to the scene of a violent street fight between the Inquisitors and Maelstrom, and going by the body count Maelstrom came out on top, but the Idol is no where to be found. Asking around can lead the PCs to wherever the local Maelstrom gang is holed up.

Now they have a choice - guns blazing or negotiate. Maelstrom have the Idol but they’re also a pretty strong group, so outright attacking them could go badly. However, the gang took some bad wounds, and will trade the Idol for some medical care.

However this ends is really up to the PCs, but assuming they get the Idol and patch them up, job well done.
