This page is intended to be a discussion of future F.A.T.E. missions to give the player characters a little more choice in the direction of the storyline and character development.
Drakes Bay Demolition
F.A.T.E. is developing plans to destroy Shiawase Atomics' Drakes Bay nuclear power facility. They have gathered significant evidence that Shiawase is producing a never-before-seen weapon of mass destruction at the facility - the Mana Bomb. Dr. Yau has some evidence that Shiawase has managed to solve a mathematical conjecture he co-authored decades ago in his thaumatergical studies. He believes there is still time to cripple the research being done by destroying both the facility and the research data they must be gathering at the plant. Normally once data is on the matrix, even Shiawase's internal systems, it's impossible to erase, but the amount of data they need to collect is immense. F.A.T.E. can only hope there is one copy of it, and it must be destroyed along with the facility.
Fortunately for F.A.T.E., they saved Dr. Hideki Tonogawa's life in a previous incident. He owes them a favor and may be willing to risk his career to aid the team.
The primary objectives are:
- Destroy the Drakes Bay nuclear facility
- Make it look like an accident -- the CFS Government cannot be implicated; it would cause an international incident.
- Any discovered research datastores must be destroyed with the facility
The team has the following advantages:
- Dr. Hideki Tonogawa owes the team a favor (rating 5) for saving his life.
- Shiawase CFS CEO Manami Coltrane's DNA sequence and voice pattern
- Access to 3 complete mana-bomb devices and 2 dual-natured "detonator" mechanisms
- California Intelligence is working on collecting a map of the facility
Items F.A.T.E. would like to accomplish before undertaking any action against the facility:
- Fingerprints and keycards with access to the facility
- Feel free to add to this list
Follow up to Happy New Year
There are a couple of smaller side missions that might be linked to information we got from Mind Probing Senator Shimada, I think people were performing some out of session follow-up to some of it. Some of it might warrant a full session, or a couple could be combined into a single session if need be. Not sure how important most of it is before Drakes Bay Demolition.
- Yukawa Sato - Dance partner, mage, possible accomplice in the assassination attempt on the president. Friend of Coltrane. Could be some valuable info here if we could track this guy down.
- Senator Shimada still has one generator in his garage, maybe we should track it down? As far as we know it is one of the two working mana generators, and if Dr. Yau is right a deadly weapon... Probably shouldn't be left unattended in a garage. Though maybe it's a trap?
- Ikuro Honda - Getting in with this guy, or getting some of his data the same way we've collected Coltrane & Edison's might be useful. Would be another researcher at Drake's that is high up we could use his access by friendly means or stolen. Dr. Tonogawa is only going to help us so far.
- Low-level City Planner - Not sure if this is much of a lead on anything, but the only guy Shimada mentioned outside of Shiawase might be worth following up with.
- Obviously info on the unnamed mentor would be great, but we don't have much in the way of leads. Don't think there is any sort of mission here unless we get info from someone else.
Gideon Wexler Character Missions
Corporate Assassination
Krista Lively is a small time megacorp blogger, though her small following does not keep her from coming across accurate and occasionally important information the megacorps wanted to keep from the public. As a college friend of Wex's he generally keeps up with her entries, if only out of responsibility as a government agent to look out for anything that may potentially involve F.A.T.E. One of her most recent entries started a look into the world of corporate assassinations, and the involvement of what she called "Burn Teams". On exploring the topic she calls out a number of corporations for using these morally shady practices, one of the corporations specifically mentioned was none other than Lockheed. The corporation Wex already suspected was responsible for the death of his father.
Wex would love the opportunity to dig deeper into the topic and discover the truth (and maybe avenge) about his father's death. His contact may have more information that would be all the lead that he needs, perhaps with some of F.A.T.E.'s resources he could get to the bottom of the issue.
