Briefing
Dr. Hideki Tonogawa was visiting San Francisco to attend the Gaeatronics Nuclear Power Seminar. The night before the seminar began, he was kidnapped from his hotel room. Shiawase is accusing Gaeatronics of corporate espionage, but Gaeatronics denies any foul play. They have agreed to hire a neutral third party, F.A.T.E., to investigate, with a significant reward for recovering Dr. Tonogawa. No doubt, Shiawase is also performing their own investigation. Don't expect too much cooperation -- no doubt Shiawase would prefer to solve this one themselves, and keep the reward money.
In this mission FATE will be operating in official capacity. It's not too often that FATE contracts itself out as a private investigation service, but the circumstances in this case are unique. The Drakes Nuclear Power Station has been of interest to Dr. Yau for some time; and Dr. Yau feels that if the group can beat Shiawase to recovering Dr. Tonogawa, it could be beneficial in the future. The nuyen was also lucrative, so Director Redman elected to take the job.
Major Players & Locations
- Drakes Nuclear Power Station is a new facility located near Drakes Bay approximately 50 miles north of San Francisco along the California coast. Owned by Shiawase Atomics, this power station is expected to propel Shiawase into a power market that has been dominated by Gaeatronics for some time.
- Dr. Hideki Tonogawa is a nuclear scientist at Shiawase Atomics' Drakes Nuclear Power Station. He studied at UC Berkeley and was a student of Dr. Kefeng Yau.
- Shiawase Atomics is a division of the Shiawase Corporation.
- Gaeatronics has a significant market share for power in the California Free State.
- Gaeatronics Nuclear Power Seminar is a yearly seminar hosted by Gaeatronics in San Francisco where nuclear scientists from many major corporations gather to collaborate and share their latest research (non-proprietary of course).
Notes
- FATE provides a 3,000 nuyen team stipend per month - money to be used for whatever you'd like - buying leads from contacts, investing in Ares stock, or purchasing your next novacoke fix, whatever the group can agree on. Spend wisely.
- There is a 4,000 nuyen bonus per character if Tonogawa is returned alive.
