Editing Cyberpunk RED Hooks (section)

== It's a Long Way to the Top ==

The PCs are an entourage for a Rockerboy (preferably PC Rockerboy, but a GMPC Rockerboy is fine). Preferably the party is made up of Rockerboys (either whole party as band, or a solo act, but a duo is fine too), Solos (at least one as a bodyguard), Techies (to fix the gear, man), Exec (manager, not necessary but works fine), and Fixers (to get the drugs and organise the gigs).

They've got a gig (yay) and in a Green Zone (double yay!), the University District in fact. But first they need to get there from Santo Domingo. If they have a Nomad PC they can probably pile into the trusty Rock-Van. If not, they'll need to either take the NCTC or hire a Nomad. The Nomad is the more expensive but safer option, but maybe the Fixer can haggle it down some. If the PCs are cheap-arses, they can take the bus. Unfortunately for them, the bus is gonna get hit by a pack of Bozos. The PCs can run or fight them off.

The PCs arrive at the gig, a small bar catering to university students mostly. But what's this? It's been double booked. The other act is a Pain-Boyz show (think Jackass or Dudesons but you know, in 2045 with cybernetics), and the manager of the bar doesn't really care who performs. "Sort it out between yourselves", they say.

So the PCs have some choices to make; do they beat up the other act? Try to sabotage their gear, or their show? Negotiate with the manager? Let the PCs run wild with this one. Regardless of if they do the show or not, those dang Bozos are gonna show up (''again'', if the PCs took the bus) and wreck the joint in their usual fashion (strange trapeze acrobatics, strong-man clowns, driving through the bar in a tiny car, spraying acidic "Seltzer" into people's faces, you know, fun stuff). Once again, the PCs can fight or run, up to them. However, in the kerfuffle, the PCs' gear gets stolen (guitars, the Nomad's car, or just their gear in the green room, or their NPC manager etc).

Some investigating reveals that it was the other act who stole the PC's gear, the Pain-Boyz. They can also learn that the Pain-Boyz are loosely affiliate with the Red Chrome Legion (Neo-Facists). But the danger aside, the PCs need their gear back or else how could they make a living? So it's off chasing the Pain-Boyz into South Night City. How they do it is not important, but eventually the PCs will find where the Pain-Boyz hang out (some kind of burned out club or deli or what have you), and now it's time for a heist. Obviously they can go in guns blazing, set up a distraction (maybe lure those pesky Bozos back?), challenge them to a contest of pain-endurance, really whatever the PCs can come up with works.

And that's that. They either get their gear back, or they don't. Depending on the result, job's done and everyone can get their EXP.
