Big Trouble on the Jingbai City Underground

Jingbai City has had its share of problems recently. The overworked and underpaid Police Department are investigating the appearance of no less than three new drugs onto the underground market, and the resulting Yakuza territory war.  Worse, the Government's strengthening of the Replicant Act has meant a spate of killings and a non human break out from the Hao Facility.  Any Replicants hiding in the general population must now be hunted down, by the police.

In Other news the Jingbai City Ghoul has struck again, murdering a Hao corporate executive, in a grisly encounter in a Metro parking lot. The Ghoul escaped the police pursuit, and City Force chief  Tanaka Hiroshi has sworn to have the psychopath hunted down.

Scenario 3:4

The Jingbai City Ghoul

A murderous psychopath has been haunting the Jingbai underground.  Police have finally cornered him in a tube station, and are closing in.  But is this "Ghoul" more than he seems?

Bruiser Ito Akira Detective Ordinary Class

The Criminals

Boss, the Ghoul, Atsuo  Akino  + D6 Extras
Linked to suspect:

Takashi Seigo, Computer guy.  

Kahei Watari, fast talking lawyer with an Uzi
Chica Watabe, renegade corporate executive.

SO FAR...

Araki Katsuo Police Sergeant Third Class of Jingbai City and his men have cornered the murderer known as "The Ghoul" in a subway station.  

What's really going on?

1.  The limitless speed drug "Lightning-Z" is behind this.  The "Ghoul" is twice as fast as a normal human.  He harvests human hippocampus  to create his LZ powder.  The Hao Corporation back him

2.  The "Ghoul"  is actually an agent of the secretive Hebi, a Governmental intelligence Agency.  He's insane but he's our guy.  Expect a military extraction team on turn 6.

3.  Local City Police Chief, Tanaka Hiroshi, is involved in a plot.  You are ordered to let The "Ghoul" escape.

4.  The "Ghoul" is a replicant.  Hope you have a blade runner handy.


5.  The terrorists really want access to a Data node hidden in a ticket vending machine to plant a hacking program.

6.  The Okubo Crime family is aware of the robbery and sent a team of high level assassins to infiltrate the building and steal the artefact from the thieves once it is secured.


Didn't get many pictures in this fast flowing game.  The Corporate babe downed police officers again and again.

My hero detective performs poorly.  The SWAT team do better, they put "The Ghoul" down, but his men carry him off, escaping the station.

The Corporate Exec lady turns out to be a fabulous shot.  She will be promoted from Extra to Bruiser in later games.

And thank heavens for the efficiency of the Japanese Rail Network.  After rolling Ever Decreasing Numbers (Edna) to determine the arrival of the next train it trundles over the Corporate Exec.  The only problem is that once the train has passed through, there is no sign of her.  Surely she cannot have survived that?

The Ghoul has escaped again.  Can our heroes track him down?
Tune in next episode as the cops foil an assassination attempt in the local supermarket.  Clean up on aisle nine?
