Global plot archs
Our plot staff keeps furthering stories in and around Denver with globally accessible plot archs. To allow the general populace to participate easier we have so called global emits in place. In effect cut scenes that tell the ongoing global stories. Sometimes in an in character fashion, the way a character might hear about things. At other times the players get glimpses at things happening behind the scenes.
Here are some examples:

Sioux Sector, Elo Farmstead, Wednesday April 22 2080
Kika Elo, the former runner known as Weeko, stands before two of her children. "The went /where/?", she asks the two elfs, who, compared to their ork mother looking quite fragile.
The girl, the older of the two, looked up to her mother, "They have gone to the Djotto Serri.", she then says. "Said something about having to help the ork nation to prosper." The adept womans fists crackle with magic as she seems quite enraged with those words, "And when did you intend to tell me?", she then asks in a dangerously calm voice that made the two, about ten year old kids even more bothered than the rage before. "Uh… we wanted to, but … they had tricked us into promising not to tell anyone. We thought it was something else, like them wanting to play a prank on someone…" The middle aged ork grunted at those words, "And you felt compelled to keep your word after /you/ had been tricked into it? I really thought I taught you better than that.", she calls out angrily. "Oh, fuck it… the milk is spilled… You two head to your rooms and if I, or Rosie at that, see you outside of it before next week, then you are in /serious/ troubles." She turns and heads out of the room. She is quite busy for the rest of the day to trace her missing childrens path.
Sioux Sector, Elo Farmstead, Thursday April 23 2080
"Rosie, I have to do this, there is no more trying to talk me out of this. These are my kids and I will make sure they get back savely. After getting themselves mixed up in a fucking war…" Weeko frowns and fixes the last buckles and fixings on her security armor, checking her gear, some of which she had to dust off and some even fix, after almost a decade of disuse. Then, finally satisfied with her equipment, and inwardly wondering a bit how her suit still fit her so well, she had been afraid it might have gotten a bit tight, but no, still a good fit. She entered her Harley outside, and with Rusty II., her german shepperd dog on the backseat, she drove off down the road.
The older ork woman, Rosie, serving her as household aide, was looking after her mistress with a worried look on her face.

Denver, Asia Town, Silver Lotus Temple, February 10th 2081
As other things happen in town Lotus has retreated to Asia Town to enter the New Year in a more ceremonial way. Praying at the Silver Lotus Temple, she notices Darius and Walker among the crowd. None of them being Buddhist, she clearly realizes that those two are merely here to enjoy the cultural variety of Denver. Well, the freely available drinks and entertainment certainly also helps. A bath in a, for once, happy crowd being something positive for a mage after all. So, the three mages of various traditions are taking in the emanated positive emotions and enjoy the time.
When Walker gets aware of some guy using a cyberdeck on a console placed in the Temple things get more serious, though. Listening with the others, who he made aware of the odd happenstance, the mages realize that these two guys, clearly members of a local Tong Clan, seem to be preparing some trap to attack a local Yakuza Oyabun who wants to serve up his own compliments to the ancestors sometime soon. The fact that these guys are seemingly in the process of installing a bomb of sorts, which would certainly kill more than just a few innocents, is what prompts the runners to interfere with this action. As Walker starts to distract the crowds and the assassins with an oratory about the virtues of the Buddhist faith, relying on Lotus's whispered input for that, after the Asian woman had sadly failed to get the crowds attention. It is Lotus who then sneaks out to remove the bomb and carry it away. When one of the would-be assassins draws a gun to silence Walker it is a shot from Darius, who used this way to get the attention of the crowd towards the true culprits, using Gel ammo.
After that, the second Assassin turns to flee, but once again Darius is faster, catching the man in an impressive spurt for the afterwards totally pumped out mage. Proof delivered by Lotus finally gives the local law a well-received opportunity to shine. And aside from that gel round shot by Darius the crowd is not even aware of the danger they just escaped. All in all, it is a good day for Denver.
