INTRODUCTION TEXT:

Welcome back to Night City Secrets.

The podcast of five gaming friends playing the tabletop RPG Cyberpunk 2020.\\xa0\\xa0

All the way up to episode 12.\\xa0 Still in Season 1, as we\\u2019re still following up this Eric Genter rival Petrochem story arc.

Send us a note at nightcitysecrets at GMAIL dot COM, leave us a review, we\\u2019d love to hear from you.\\xa0\\xa0

We spent our first night in our new home, and no one died yesterday.\\xa0 So, the bar is pretty low.

But the team isn\\u2019t exactly feeling warm and fuzzy and tight with each other.\\xa0 There\\u2019s still some latent mistrust out there, not to mention some loose ends each of us wants to tie off.\\xa0 Antigone is trying to hatch a plan, while Hako and Surany are trying to close off some business of their own.\\xa0\\xa0

Without further ado, let\\u2019s see how we try to come back out of our shell.

CLOSING NOTES:

So, not much action this time, but a lot more prep work.\\xa0 But Sur\\xe1ny seems to have some decent evidence pointing us to the Petrochem warehouse as the source of our Netrunner nemesis.\\xa0 Han got some more intel on the site and set us up to gather even more.\\xa0 And Hako was able to procure some transportation, some mannequins, an inflatable sheep, and is in the process of getting us more boltholes to run away to.

I wonder how we got so paranoid\\u2026
