If the vendor dissapeared, these agents can think that the characters are with the tape. It is possible to run a complex conspiracy adventure. Maybe the tape is really about an Aborigeny autopsy and with the help of some ecoterrorist the aborigenies take the tape and kill the ventor. Maybe they want to kill the characters or others that view the tape too... Wagner "David R. Crowell" wrote: > Here is a brief encounter or Access Denied.

Crowell [gpfarm-dave@northnet.org] Sent: Saturday, February 10, 2001 6:20 AM To: blue_planet@lists.ient.com Subject: [BLUE PLANET] - Street Encounter Here is a brief encounter or Access Denied. I have my own version of what the "real story" is feel free to make up what ever suits your campaign. Aborigine Autopsy A vendor offers the characters a chance to buy what he claims is a video of an Aborigine autopsy. He is asking an outrageous price for the tape, and will only show a three-second clip before purchase. The clip shows a group of medical or scientific personel discecting "something" that "could" be an Aborigine. It's very hard to tell fm the brief clip. The vendor claims that the tape was pirated from the security camera system of the local Incorporate or GEO facility. Follow up: The tape is not an obvious fake. It is of poor quality, and shot from a bad camera angle so it is not possible to tell much about the "autopsy" or its subject. There is no sound. If the characters aproach the facility from which the tape is supposed to have come they will meet with denial of any knowedge of such a tape, curiosity as to how they came into possession of it, and possibly accusations of fraud or other criminal activity related to its production. If the players at anytime after viewing the tape return to the vendor they will find that he has dissapeared and nobody seems to know where he is. The Real Story (my version): The tape is genuine, however it does not show an Aborigine autopsy, but rather the disection of a large cephalopod. The vendor has dissapeared because he went on a fishing trip and neglected to tell anyone. I would play this with an X-files sort of feel, give the players the sense that they have stumbled into a cover-up and the truth is out there. Try to make them paranoid. *************************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list send mail to majordomo@lists.ient.com with the line 'unsubscribe blue_planet' as the body of the message.
