INTRODUCTION TEXT

Welcome back to Night City Secrets.

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

This is episode 4, which is part 1 of our gaming session #4.

Soon everything will start aligning\\u2026 don\\u2019t worry about the numbers for now.\\xa0\\xa0

We can call this episode, \\u201cThe Honeymoon is Over,\\u201d or perhaps, \\u201cThe Gloves are Off.\\u201d\\xa0\\xa0

Things start to get a bit more gritty and cyberpunky here.\\xa0\\xa0

Our \\u201cquote unquote\\u201d heroes have just assassinated \\u2013 execution-syle \\u2013 Stahl, the pilot who betrayed them on their Petrochem reconnaissance mission.\\xa0\\xa0

They appear to have turned a threat into an asset, and perhaps are feeling a bit too high on their high horses.

Here we go.

\\xa0

CLOSING NOTES

Ouch town, population us\\u2026 Apparently the REFEREE thought things were going a bit too easy.\\xa0\\xa0

This is about halfway through the gaming session, and we\\u2019ll close here today.

Antigone is wrapped up in an electrified net and has been tazed twice, unceremoniously dumped in the backseat of a car and being taken to who knows where.\\xa0 But it probably ain\\u2019t good.

Surany managed to escape any major damage thanks to his addiction to croissants and coffee.\\xa0 But the rest of the team has been blown out of the AV, much of their equipment disabled or destroyed in the blast.

I\\u2019m actually rather surprised that someone didn\\u2019t die.\\xa0\\xa0

Tune in next time to see if we manage to survive on Night City Secrets.\\xa0\\xa0

I hope someone out there is having as much fun with this as we are.
