Hello and welcome back to Cyberpunk Red: The Synthwave Story.

Here's a recap of everything that's happened so far.

VITA investigated the drug Synthwave by attending a gig of FLEET AND POUND band member Lyal Martinez. She promised to get one of her singles to DJ Medical Meat in exchange for a meeting with her father, who’s connected to Biotechnica.

LOTUS was supposed to meet WOLF but instead encountered Katherine Jeppers from MEISE CORP. Katherine offered info on Synthwave if Lotus posted something on the net, giving her 24 hours to decide.

DR DUK was suspended without pay after his boss heard rumors linking him to the murder of Private Eye Axeman.

THE JET was fined 200eb for "loitering" by OFFICER LEMON.

DJ MEDICAL MEAT learned from her mother that her father is addicted to Synthwave and was asked to join a family intervention.

The group received a job from WOLF to find a user named WORMWOOD in the braindance MMORPG Elflines Online, who was selling Synthwave. They located WORMWOOD, a teenage boy named BEN, who revealed his supplier, HAMMERSTEEL, after some persuasion. Medical Meat discovered Ben was selling Synthwave to pay for his mother's medical bills as she succumbed to Cyberpsychosis.

With the information they needed, the group called WOLF but were warned off by a distinctive voice they recognized as THE SOLO OF ALL SOLOS, MORGAN BLACKHAND, saying, "You're digging into something that's bigger than all of you. I recommend you turn back now."

Last time the ADVENTURERS had an experience in the braindance online game, elflines. They were looking for a player who used the online game to market them selling synthwave. After searching around and finding the person, they were told of a meeting place. Dr Duk realising he could drink in the game and experience being drunk in real life, drank a lot. In the end he and lotus got banned for failed rp. Now back in the real world, they continue their hunt for the creators of this addictive drug.

Last time the group met at the famous solo bar the afterlife, they were given a job by their fixer WOLF to investigate someone selling Synthwave on an online game called Elflines. They met with a gamer netrunner called CHEN who introduced them to Elflines. As they head into the braindance game they must remember one rule. Everything you feel in the game, you feel in real life.

Last time

DJ Medical Meat met with a woman at the Kuroshida hotel. It was her mother Steph. She revealed to Medical Meat that she's in Night City to bring medical meat back home. Her father has a synthwave addiction. They're planning an intervention. Medical Meat said she needed more time to make her choice before leaving. Vita met with Fleet and Pound Member, Lyal Martinez. Making a deal with her. She was to give Vita a meeting with her father, who Vita has a reason to think has a connection to synthwave. In return, Vita would give DJ Medical Meat one of her songs. While this happened all of the group got a call from Wolf. They were to meet at the famous solo bar. The afterlife.

Last time, Dr Duk was sent to the office of his boss at Trauma Team HQ. He was shown footage of the group's shootout at the warehouse. He was informed that there was a rumour spreading he was a part of a detective's Murder. With this being investigated Dr Duk was suspended indefinitely without pay.

The Jet was being harassed by Night City beat cops. Recognising one called Officer Lemon. One known to be a big nuisance to nomads. He eventually gave the jet a fine for loitering with the jet thinking there was a grand conspiracy at play.

Lotus went to meet their fixer Wolf, but instead met with a corporate woman called Catherine Jeppers, from a corporation called Meise Corp. She had information on synthwave and was willing to give it, in return for an IOU with Catherine down the line. Upon leaving, Lotus met with Wolf, who plans to bring the group back together. This time meeting at the famous solo bar. The afterlife.

Last time the group completed their mission of rescuing Kang He-Jin and clearing the bounty on their head. After learning Roxy died during the fight in the warehouse, the group were paid. They went their separate ways. However, people from their past started cropping up, revealing two important bits of information. They've been framed for the murder of a detective called Axeman and there is a new drug on the streets. Synthwave.

The group decided to trojan horse into the warehouse to find Kang He Jin. With medical meat and lotus disguised as premium joy toys, The Jet and Dr. Duk acted as their transport and salesmen. While all this happened Arasaka ninja Vita would locate and extract Kang. Medical Meat and Lotus were taken to the backroom, for their joytoy services to be tested. As yakuza underboss Yamaguchi Yuki disrobed, the moment got too much for Lotus, who with the help of medical meat killed the underboss... Now the group is left with the goal. Extract Kang Hee Jin.

Last time the group investigated Yakuza shell company Tsuyomi Shipping, finding a fan there who loved DJ Medical Meat. They also scoped out one of their warehouses all before meeting a new member called Lotus at the Islands Bar. Where she suggested their way in... Selling Premium Joy Toys
