The reeking hold of some battered old space tub piled high with cryo-tubes disgorging their cargo of scum and villainy - all seeking revenge for being hijacked.
Worse still, there's the distinctive scream of failing shields and foul smelling bodies are hurled across the dim chamber, crushed under toppling cryo-tubes as the ship's internal dampeners fail to cope with what's obviously a sustained attack upon the ship.
If this hulk's even GOT escape pods, there ain't going to be enough for all of you. Between you and survival stands a mob of the galaxy's worst thuggery and a fully armed strike-ship of some kind.
Think fast! What are you going to do?

Description: The "city of light" is the only place where true art and science Intermingle and tie together. Anarchy and art also go hand-in-hand together in Paris. The true art of your actions it the things you leave behind. When you are just what will be remembered? You could live forever nowBut you may not be able to interact with the physical world is meaningful way. You could just stay plugged into the matrix - this however may reduce you. One last action one last run. A big fuck you to the man you once worked for.
This is what happens when you are a "deniable asset". You know who your buyers are, you know the market. Your art is truly avant-garde and you could command price. However you may question what that price will be.
It's time to give away some of your best pieces, but give them to who? Time to mess the system, but how far can take it? Time for 'the secret life of secrets' or 'a run the market'. Time for revenge.
