[align=center]The War Pit[/align]
Large Warehouse, Alan "Viper" Reeds owner/operator

The War Pit is the place to go in Seattle for simulated combat. From Matrix games that pit hacker against hacker to cage fights to chess, if you can play it head to head, you can find it at the War Pit. Please remember all patrons must have a designated next of kin on file as well as any medical problems and a signed waiver.

>Truth in advertizing, how refreshing. It is exactly as stated, Viper runs everything here, and anyone, SIN or not, is welcome as long as the waiver's on file. I've seen Firewatch teams go head to head with Red Samurai in The Pit itself, and street punks duke it out fist to fist with their probation officers, and nobody says nothing, its all neutral ground, everyone wants to place to stay open, so nobody brings any heat down<
>Firefighter

>Viper? Ooh, scary. So what's so hot about The Pit anways, just another of the games going on?<
>Curious Greg

>You'd better be scared. You've obviously never met the guy. Square's the best word for 'im, 5'3" and built like a brick. Not a drop of cyber neither. Rumor has it he's ex-UCAS Black Ops. All I know is that he took down the whole Steel Talons gang one night while I was there. Broke a lot of cyberspurs, but not a sweat. One mean fragger if you piss him off.<
>Mad Hacker

> The Pit...the main event on Friday nights...take 16 fraggers who got a death wish and shut 'em all in a four story warehouse reinforced with steel whose layout changes every week. Hide a bunch of real weapons down in there, and Viper spins the Wheel of Doom, sometimes its last one standing while Nuerostun seeps into the place, sometimes its collect 10 IDs, sometimes its find the exit first. All lethal, all real. Last time I ever accepted a job when the J said "all you gotta do is fight for a little while"<
>Riff Hardeyes


>Of course, least you be left with the impression that it is all barbaric violence, I will interject that the mental challanges are quite exceptional as well. Of particular popularity of late is the foci ladder, there is quite a pitched battle to see who can reverse engineer a focus to its basic makeup in the quickest amount of time<

Profile

Founded by V. Charon in 2044, in Seattle.OverLord Technologies is located north of Matthews Beach Park, just offshore from Lakeshore Blvd NE. Charon, who is something of a gun-nut and has more than a little knowledge of them, was not satisfied with the quality of weapons at the time. There was little he could do about it, however, until he was struck by a car, using the money he got from the lawsuit afterwards (minus medical expenses), he started playing to hunches on the stock market. More than a few paid off, and he soon had enough to start up the company. OLT has steadily grown since its founding, quality and efficiency bringing what mass production couldn't.

Stock performance is erratic, like all the others, but there is a steady upward climb amidst the peaks and drops.

Relations between OLT the the Big Ten are rather neutral, OLT not seeming to be large enough of a threat to take more than brief notice of. The exception is Ares, which tends to take OLT somewhat more seriously than the other megas do. The seriousness of the attention tends to vary, and is open to interpretation.

The OLT Headquarters building is actually not onshore, it is located in Lake Washington, just north of Matthews Park and east of Lakeshore Blvd NE.

Enigma

Small Club and Restaurant Archetype / Winter, Owner, Exclusive Membership/


Known as THE place for Corporate Executives, Enigma offers the high powered businessman or woman a chance to relax in the comfort they deserve. Their bar stocks a collection of the rarest spirits in the world and they employ 3 ***** gourmet chefs versed in world cuisine. Club hours are 4pm until 5am.

Each member is treated to a very private eating and drinking area. Any person wishing to join this club must be sponsored by an existing member. In the corporate world, you aren't a player until you hold a card for this club.



>>>End "official" version. Truth is you'll never see any corporate "executive" in the place. It's all just a cover. If you can find someone with an "in", security will allow you into the club proper. It's a two drink minimum cover where a beer will run you 1,000 nuyen.

-Mr.S<<<

>>>FRAG THAT! A grand a drink just to hang with some overly rich dreks?

-Trixie<<<

>>>It's worth every nuyen. S didn't say WHY people go to Enigma. If you want to find information on anyone or anything, this is the place to go. Every seating area comes with a panel that controls a small light over the table. Red means you want privacy, Green means you are looking for info, Yellow if you are there to sell, Blue if you are there to trade. Information peddlers will go from table to table trading information for information or nuyen. The cost is worth it for the paydata you can get from this place.

-MadameDoko<<<

>>>So how the frag do you get in this place?

-SamIam<<<

>>>Well that's the tricky part. You CAN'T break into this place. The guards at the doors are all Adepts and when my chummer took a look astrally they saw some heavy mojo protecting the place. There are people around the city that can "sponsor" you into the club (read: give you a card you pass to the guards and they let you in). Expect to cough up some serious cash for the invite.

-Mr.S<<<

>>>Try the Tailor down the street from the Ares tower, "Viggo Telli's." Ask for Gus. If he likes you, he can get you in.

-Eye-Spy<<<

>>>So who is Winter? Anyone have info on him?

-SamIam<<<

>>>Find that answer and you'll have a lifetime membership to Enigma and a hefty surge to your bank account. Just don't bother asking at the club. It's the quickest way to the door.

-Mr.S<<<

>>>Winter will always tell it to you straight.

-MadameDoko<<<

Mamma J's Bistro and Cyber Cafe

Small Cafe.

Harkening back to the days when all everyone wanted was a cup of coffee and an (going way back here) internet connection. Mamma 'J' Jennifer Alton has set up this small NeoRetroNeoBeatnik cafe in the basement of a residential highrise. Everything she could think of went into this place: Deep Plush Armchairs, Pillows Galore, Odd Shapped Tables and Chairs, and don't forget...Real Coffee. Come for the smokey atmosphere, come for the comfortable 'trix chairs. Come for poetry night! Come to Mamma J's tonight!

>>>>{And pick up a run by 2 AM]

Orchard Trailer Park
Trailer Park Archetype, 4011 South 146th Street, Jerry Shaw, Manager, No Bias, LTG NA/UCAS-SEA 206- 243-1210

Orchard Trailer Park is a run down nasty slum by all appearences, but deep inside this park is much more than trailer trash barbie ever bargained for chummers. The Seattle Independence Movement maintains a substantial armory and a number of safe houses. The movement uses this warren of winding and crowded trailers to rest up and paln their operations in Seattle.

>This place is rated a blanket Z by Lone Star, and if they send any one inside for any reason they usually send at least htree Mobmasters and air support. The SIM boys make any incursion into this park a real experience-its not unusual to find hardened bunker or two with AntiTank Missiles and PACs on hard points. The Feds are forever trying to get some one on the inside of this place, but as of yet have had little luck.<

>Sarge

>The Movement is financed by alot of Corporations indirectly-The Big Ten would love to have Seattle in their pockets like New York. A lot of Seattles prominent citizens fund the movement as well. One Corporation that isn't funding the Movement is Ares Macrotechnology. Ares has sponsored several runs specifically targeted at Property damage and the Movements Leaders. The recent influx of military grade heavy weapons has made these runs especially dangerous of late.<

>Zeus

>A walk thru this park is like a step into hell.Raw Sewage, and trash make that walk a sweet one, add to that the armed camp mentality and the occasional firefight, and you get the scene. The city has allowed services to lapse, or outright cancelled them. Fire crews have been directed not respond to the Park unless the fire threatens to spread outside the park. Electricity has been cut as well as other utilities. Teh Movement has managed to pirate some of these services or set up their own, but some of the local corps have also ignored the Goverments orders and continued to provide services.<

Cascade Center
Small Hospital and Clinic Archetype,19655 1st Avenue South, Dr. Keith Lochrain, Cheif Medical Resident, Bias Towards Asians, Ltg NA/UCAS-SEA 206-824-9992

This facility located just south of Sea-Tac has some of the hottest slicers this side of Chiba, and some SOTA ware not normally found out side Miltary Chop Shops. Its location near the Air Port makes it popular with all sorts of customers, not all locals either. Dr Keith Lochrain was a Naval Surgeon who spent time cutting for the SEALs and Force Recon.

>The good doctor also cuts for the local Intel boys-NSA and CIA hard boys get their wires here. Lochrains papers list him as retired, honorable discharge with numerous decorations but he obviously has some connections, which explains his access to the real neat hardware.<

Wilhelmi Lysleul
Winery Archetype, 1416 34th Avenue, Seattle,Madeline Lysleul, Owner and Manager, NO Bias Ltg NA/UCAS-SEA 206-325-3051

Sprawling across a dozen acres, Wilhelmi Lysleul produces some two thousand cases of wine each year. Tasting rooms are available by appointment and during the summer, usually June. Prices range from a hundred nuyen a bottle to over ten thousand nuyen a bottle. Lysleul also makes their own cheeses making this a must see for any one visting Seattle.

>Want to impress a contact? A date? Any one? Heres the place to do it. This place has World Class Wines, and some of the best Cheese outside of Wisconsin.Its exspensive as all get out, but man the view alone is worth it. A dozen acres of pristine orchards, good food and a great sun set make this palce an A on my list<

>Alicia DeVries

>Lysleul also houses some very secure tasting rooms, with Magical Security and antisurveillance devices of all sorts. High tech stuff. Physical security isn't very obtrusive, they prefer passive detection systems and Hard Boys to handle problems quietly.<

Prestons
Nightclub Archetype, 4818 17th Avenue Northwest, Trey Preston, Manager, No Bias, Ltg NA/UCAS-SEA 206-782-1680

Prestons is located on the roof top of the Naori Building. With a large pool, a two story Trideo screen and an open air patio area, Prestons is one of Seattles Premeire Night spots.

>Trey Preston was a Star Detective for the better part of a decade. started off as Street Patrol, did some time as a FRT boy, and another three eyars in Vice. How he managed to front he capitol to buy this joint is a point of contention. Prestons has a strict dress code, and those who don't lokk liek they spent enough on their wardrobe won't be admitted.<

>Parker

>No contentions chummer, Trey Preston was a dirty ass cop. He took every form of kick back and bribe there was. He has connections with La Costra Nostra, thats how he afforded this place after loosing his pension.<

>Jimmy B

>Its not uncommon to see some of Seattles hottest models and Stars hobnobbing with the underworlds glitteratzi. Security is unobtrusive but tight, and a lot of these kids come complete with matchig body guards.<

Crossroads Shopping Mall
Small Mall archetype.

The Crossroads Shopping Mall is a quaint little establishment sitting humbly in its upper middle class surroundings. Consisting of about twenty stores, with two larger department stores, it happens to be one of the smaller malls in Seattle, but that does not mean it is lesser than its bigger brothers. No, the Crossroads takes pride in its design…and its unusually large Toy Store.

The two-level complex divides the smaller stores between two floors. The second level is a balcony level opening over a large open mall garden. Two larger “bridges” connect the sides taking care to not block the precious sunlight that filters down from skylights that run the length of the promenade. Escalators and Elevators are located at either end of the Mall. Entrances are located through the center of the mall, and through each of the Department stores.

The focal of the Crossroads, however, is Ergen’s Toy Store. A huge affair that takes up both levels, Ergen’s rests opposite Macy’s and Sears-Penny’s snuggling nicely in the center of the mall. The decoration is that of most children’s dreams; life-size versions of current toys stand at attention while a huge creation of connecting blocks depicts an ancient castle complete with knight and a fire-breathing dragon.

>>>>>[The only real point of any interest in the Crossroads is Ergen's Toy Store. Everything else you can find there is just an overpriced version of anything you can find at any other store across the greater metropolitan area. Of course, it appeals more to the children than anything else.]
- White Lightning

>>>>>[Word is that there's a small arms dealer operating from somewhere in the Crossroads, but I haven't been able to get in contact with anyone who could get me in contact so I don't know the details.]
- Social Inept

>>>>>[I do know that Ergen actually had to shut down the store a couple years ago, anyone have any details on that?]
- Chromed Coif

>>>>>[Transformers...it was all about Transformers.]
- Maximus Prime

>>>>>[Literraly, he'd had his prized collection down and a bunch of 'runners shot it out trying to get it back. Apparently they had to hunt down Geppetto and Pinnochio to get it back. I kid you not, sometimes I wish I were...kidding, I mean.]

[align=center]Amp's Olde Repair Shoppe[/align]

Vehicle Repair Shop Archetype, 3259 Perkins Lane W, Ahira, Head Mechanic, No Bias, LTG NA/ UCAS-SEA 206-785-2237

A medium-sized warehouse just off Magnolia Blvd, Amp's Olde Repair Shoppe is run by it's head mechanic, a man only known as Ahira. He charges fair prices for above average quality work, but make sure that you call ahead. The quality of work has brought back several regulars, and the work orders often are more than Ahira and his assistants can tackle in one day.

>>Above average is right, if only a bit of an understatement. Ahira does top notch work, and charges less than most of his competators would. Rumor has it that he also does other, less legitimate, business, including re-sprays, counterfeit license plates, and some not-so-legal upgrades. Most walk-ins and about half of the regulars don't know this though, since you'd have to know Ahira or one of his assistants personally to even think about getting a job like that done.<<

>All-Out<

>>Amp's Olde Repair Shoppe doesn't just work on cars and bikes Chummers. I've seen helicopters, boats, even Ahira's personal Deuce-And-A-Half, a monster of a truck known as Angelina. Don't think about ripping the man off though, or trying to steal something from him. Rumor has it that there's enough explosives and weaponry to take on Ft. Lewis' entire complement of troops.. and win.<<

>Talon
No, I'm not that mage from Boston.<

>>Ahira has his connections to the underworld of Seattle. He was the rigger and mechanic for a runner group, run by a man called Amp. His connections run deep, and a few of his team-mates still work with him, even though the group has been disbanded for almost a year<<

[align=center]School of the Red Dragon[/align]

School, Chinatown Seattle, Xian Zhong - Owner, Bias against Triad, LTG NA/UCAS-SEA ??

An abandoned bank, the building bears no name, nor has any signs. Those who live in the area are the only ones who know that the school exsists. Those who study the art of kung fu behind its walls come from the slums of Chinatown, and gave it its name because of the master who teaches them.

>Its surreal, it is. My mother says it used to be a Savings & Loan building. Now its China once you go inside. The glass roof fell away long ago, and the upper stories are full of pitfalls. Master Zhong has planted bamboo and other plants in the old courtyard, she has, and teaches in the lower level rooms.<

Firefly's Jar is the leading manufactrer of custom, hand-made fireworks. Located on a small island formed from land reclaimed from the bay, Firefly's does a brisk business selling to those who want that little extra something, or that unique display for the corporate party.

>Fireworks, piffle, sparkley, or fireworks boom, flashy?<
Misha

>She'll do custom explosives, if you can afford it. She takes pride in her work, and doesn't want any heat coming down on the store. No tracable residue, no ritual links possible back to her, its near perfect, but expensive as hell, and she needs lead time to make it<
Reese

>But is she any good, or just have a nice cookbook?<
Posh

>Yes. Jen's a double degreed Chemist and Chemical Engineer. She knows her stuff. Give her some residue, and she can not only determine what type of explosive it was, but trace it back to the factory, sometimes even a batch number, based on the chemical composition.<

[align=center]Twisted Lemon's House of Magic[/align]

Redmond, proprietorship Jason McReel, LTG NA /UCAS-SEA 593-345-6131

Twisted Lemon's House of Magic is a hole-in-the-wall on the eastern part of the Barrens. The shop is owned and run by Jason McReel, who will no doubt insist you call him Lemon. A former mage, McReel lost his magical capabilities after a car accident.

>If you consider getting shot by a RPV a car accident, then that's mostly true. One of the team members he was running with panicked and slapped a trauma patch on him, which dulled his magic and somehow cut off his ability to Project. It was a downward spiral from there.<
Greenboy

>How far down?<
Munching Man

>He's burned out. Used drugs and beetles to try to get the same experience he did in the astral, and they took their toll. If there's no one at the counter and no one answers when you call, he's probably passed out in the back after a score.<
Darwin's Monkey

Most of the items availible in his store are unenchanted, lucky charms and the like for the local superstitious gangs, but he does except unconventional payment for what few real foci and talismans he does sell.

>By "unconventional" they mean "chips or blow," and while there's not much real magic in the shop, the stuff he does have is some powerful drek - leftovers from his old running days, I'd guess, and availible on the cheap.<

Checkpoint 341

Location: Rout 507 on the border of Seattle and Salish <from the map at the end of SR2>.

Checkpoint 341 is a good example of why UCAS soldiers should not be allowed to drink while guarding the border. Originaly a customs checkpoint who's higher-ups where a little to lax on their lackies, it obtained additional funding after one to many successful 'runner teams made it accross at high speed with a large amount of persuit from the Salish forces. The funds were meant to go into beefing up defenses a little, instead it went into adding some recreational facilities. Then a retired UCAS soldier started "Smities" a small bar/night club right next door (the two buildings share a wall) and things got even more interesting. Word got around about the cheap drinks and good atmosphere of the club and it was quikly turning a solid profit. About 3 months later the bar's name was changed to "Checkpoint 341" and began to admit only UCAS soldiers. The bordor checkpoint rec-room was opened up to the bar's patrons and suddenly the easiest paved road to make an illeagle border crossing became the most heavily guarded in all of Seattle. The entire facility has something of a party atmosphere, yet the guards on duty are more vigilant than ever before add to this that they can call up any/all of the nearby bar's patrons for off-duty re-enforcement in a pinch and you have on average about 40 guards (some of them slightly drunk) in a place that should normal only have 5 or 10.

<edit>There is a definate Pro-UCAS political leaning here. If you speak out on the evils of the nation here you'll quikly find yourself outside with many interesting bruises. They don't discriminate against meta's either.</edit>

It's pretty rough right here. But it is (I think) a really cool thing to put somewhere in your campaign.

Waste is collected by one of out fleet of transportation vehicles and brought to our central compound. There the waste is incinerated in our custom built incinerators and reduced to ash. Any air pollution is handle by our network of filters and scrubbers which are complient with all UCAS clean air directives and also all Salish-Shidhe directives up to and including Order854-FN-7.

Any waste ash residue that is left is then transferred to our Plasma Arc Melting Furnices where it is reduced even further and any contaniments are removed. The remaining material is then sold in for a number of construction purposes and to the city as road fill.

All of this goes to show Serrano Waste Managements commitment to the environment and recycling whilst offerin you the customer as unbeatable service and cost.

> And for the right price they'll also a few other less than legal services. Need to get rid of that body? How about the sniper rifle that ties you to the hit on the corporate exec-VP last month or the SMG you used for a run that got messy last night?

For the right amount of cash they'll take it off you're hands and throw it in the furnace, bye bye physical evidence, it just goes up in smoke as it were. Hell, and any leftover is turned into road fill and burried under some street.

> Oh come on, who are you guys fraggin' kidding? With a name like Serrano and the garbage biz, this has Mafia written all over it. Use it and you might as well be handing the mob blackmail on you.

> Actually, from what I can tell the wiseguys seem to keep their hands off mostly. Oh yeah sure they still take their cut in standard protection but otherwise they leave alone. Think about it, this is useful even for them. Plus it's bit too high risk for their tastes. If the star ever found out about this they'd jump to the wrong conclusions like you did so the Mob likes to keep a safe distance.
> Tinner

> They also do a very good courier service. Since their smaller trucks also do private home collections you can get practically door to door service. And how many cops do ya know that'd want to crawl round the back of a garbage truck unless they were absolutely sure there was somethign in there, then ya fragged anyways.

[align=center]Dante's Bar[/align]
Medium bar archetype, Pyotr "Dante" Fedorov, Owner and part-time operator, bias against light drinkers or those who can't hold their drinks. LTG NA/UCAS-SEA

(Again, to make deadline no location. If anyone knows where Seattle Russian community is could they suggest an area?)

Not to be confused with the nightclub Dante’s Inferno also in Downtown Seattle, Dante's is a welcoming mid-sized bar with a definite Russian flavour tucked away down one of the side streets. With a range of Russian drinks difficult to find elsewhere in the ‘plex and a warm inviting ambience, this is definitely worth a visit if you want a more relaxed evening.

> This place is slightly weird. Pyotr, or Dante as he's sometimes known to friends, is also a Professor over at U-Dub where he teaches nuclear physics. This can make for some interesting clientele. Sure you get the occasional student coming in out of interest but not very often- hey, who wants to get wasted in front of a professor? You also get a number of Professors and intellectuals from around the university mixed together with members of the Russian immigrant community.
> Bright Spark

> Leads to some real interesting conversations. Ranges from the usual sport talk through to literature, philosophy, the sciences, politics, all overlaid with everyday chatter and Russian in the background. They're actually pretty open and don't mind dumbing it down or explaining if you show a genuine interest.
> Mister Incognito

> As you've probably guessed by now, Pyotr is a Russian that emigrated a few years back. Guy speaks excellent English but you can tell by his accent whenever he opens his mouth. He's also a major drinker, even by Russian standards. I've seen him drink fraggin' trolls under the table. The guys pretty closed mouthed about personal stuff, but I asked him why he drank so much one time when he was really out of it and he said something about making up for lost time since he wasn't able to drink at all in one of his previous jobs.
> Walker

> If you want to get on his good side you might want to read up on classical Russian and international writers, political writers especially, as he loves the stuff. He can, and often does, go for whole evenings about different authors with the regulars, debating their merits and flaws. Just be prepared to defend your views.
> Rook

> Yeah, he does love his politics. He can go on for hours and hours about it. One of the reasons he left Russia apparently, didn't agree with the pseudo-Communist government. Pyotr can come off as a bit naive since he espouses a mix of anarchy and all men are equal with a bent against governments and corps but he's but. He's more idealistic than anything else.
> Atlas

> This place is also a good hangout to meet low-level Vory contacts. It's not a Vory bar or anything but they get the occasional couple in or one of the locals from the community might know somebody.
> Thumbs

> Funny thing, but I got a job a little while back on this guy. Some Johnson paid me some cred to do a deep background check. Turns out there are some strange things in his background. Like the fact that whilst his SIN's completely legit, when I tried backtracking through the Russian records I hit a wall.

Apparently this guy didn't exist before arriving in the UCAS. So I did some more digging. Couldn't find anything much at first but eventually found something on a Pyotr Savin who looked fairly similar from the old pictures- last one I could find was from 12/13 years ago- I could find and matched most other variables. Seems this Savin guy was some big noise at the Russian's Physics/Technological Institute. Physics as in devices leading to very large mushroom clouds if you follow. Looks like he defected and the gov. set him up with a new life.

Like any half decent runner I checked out the J, and came up with a definate Russian connection so I figured, hey, they're probably wanting to see where this guy ended up. Not like they'd come after him now, against the rules. But I don't like first impressions so I did some more asking around and the signs pointed to the Johnson actually being Sioux spooks, OMI. Makes sense, they paint themselves as the defenders of the NAN and've been rumoured to have nukes for years. Shoulda been content with that but again, this job felt all wrong so I went over every last minor detail and hit paydirt, Pueblo Intel boys. Now what would the PCC want with a defected retired Russian nuclear physicist?

(Just writing this out I've noticed how long these comments are. If during editing you want to pare them down please feel free, in fact feel encouraged. Also, thing about the Pueblo intel links in with Pueblo SoNA chapter and them secretly re-opening the Los Alamos reactors.)

Arnie's Cleaners
Dry Cleaning Shop | 130th Pl Se, Renton, WA | "Clean" Eddie Manzano, Owner/Manager| No Bias | LTG NA/UCAS-SEA 505-685-1918

Arnie's Cleaners is a quaint throwback to the turn of the century, when home laundry facilities were unable to handle 'delicate' fabrics. Arnie's has a large rack of clothes waiting to be cleaned or picked up, so apparently having someone else do the cleaning is still as popular as it ever was.

Of course, something like this has to be a front, right?
Shotgun Joe

Well no one ever got anywhere without a little abition, ne? Clean Eddie is actually a medocire fixer, who outfits his runners with the 'abandoned' clothing from his racks. Need a tuxedo for the evening? Meeting the Johnson somewhere where Tres Chic is the norm? Slumming and want the look to be correct, rather than fake? Look up Eddie, and he'll hook you up. Just don't damage anything, the deposit is killer... literally.

"Here we need /Desert/ Power"

Rumour has it that Eddie used to be a sniper for the Mexican Army (yea, not the Azzies), but that seems far-fetched because he's only in his mid-40s. However, the word does have it correct that he's no stranger to covert ops.

Oh.. crap.. I thought you all were soliciting for new entries...

[Serious Paul]

Hey if we ever get all to the press and it proves to be popular, then what the hey! It could be useful a second update!

[Serious Paul]

Bump shaker!

[Serious Paul]

Just to let people know I shared the draft with the public of this:

At DSF What a great project this was. Thanks again to all who contributed.

[Ancient History]

THanks for sharing, Paul. A lot of people will be happy to see that.
