The AdventureThe Story so farIt was Lucky who killed Baldersen and tookthe suitcase. Unlike the others of his group,Lucky is aware of the contents of thesuitcase - a data crystal containing aprototype computer virus. This virus iscalled the Fenris Virus and was created bysome demented modder kids of TantricSadist conviction, who wanted to destroyNeon City to deal enough pain to be able toenter Nirvana after their death. Lucky,however, intends to use the Fenris Virus tocause general mayhem in the mainframe ofYgdrasil Biotech to convince potentialbuyers of its power. Unfortunately, heattracts the attention of the rogue AIMungand, which tries to get its "hands" onthe virus to break free from Ygdrasil. WhileLucky has forged a pact with a gang ofSterogiants whom he uses to deter hisformer allies, Mungand does itsbest to corrupt the Virus to beable to break free, regardless ofthe cost for the city as a whole.TimelineThe chart called "Lucky Strikes"describes the actions of Lucky.Make sure that actions by the PCssuch as travelling through the cityor listening for information takeup the appropriate time.
