The Tool Crib
Bar/Nightclub archetype, 1002 Yale Ave, A. Jeminez, Manager, Subtle Bias toward Straits, Ltg NA/UCAS-SEA 204-446-6557
One of Seattle's premier "underground" nightspots, The Tool Crib is a three-level dance club featuring some of the best pure electronic and dance music from the last 30 years. Drinks are reasonably priced, and there are nightly drink specials. No food is served. Many of the glitterati come here when they're visiting Seattle but don't want to be mobbed at Penumbra or Dante's.
>Look, I hate to be the guy who brings this up, but the Tool Crib is, you know, a gay bar. I'm not saying that means we should all go down there with pitchforks and torches, but you should know about it before you go. Al, the owner, doesn't care who you are, but some of the patrons are pretty territorial, and don't like straight chicas or brothers in there. Just so you know.<
>The Saint
>That's one of the things that actually makes it nice for biz. If you're not part of the scene, no one expects you to go there. Plus, there are still some guys old-fashioned enough to hesitate to follow you into someplace like this. Stupid, if you ask me, but that's the way of it.<
>Downtown Playa
>As if it's the sexual orientation of the patrons you should know about. If anything, it's the drugs that make this place stand out. Straight up chemicals, chips, whatever. It's the under-30 party scene, you know? Everybody's got to be messed up. That makes for rude and clumsy people. Overwireds - you know who you are - watch yourself.<

Import Auto Garage
Auto garage archetype, 450 13th St., Sammy LaToncha, Owner, No Bias, Ltg NA/UCAS-SEA 206-554-5499
Import Auto is considered by most to be the best garage in town for repairs on "import" autos, including Toyota, Eurocar, Mitsubishi, Rolls-Royce, and so on. With 30 years of experience and a helpful, courteous staff, Import Auto is relied-on by executives, trid stars and politicians for their repair needs.
>Right. "Import." Because so many cars are made in the UCAS. As if.<
>Grange
>Sammy's completely impermeable, by the way. He keeps the business he keeps because he's a man of unempeachable character. No amount of money will get him to sell out his clients.<
>Zeus
>Maybe, but he's perfectly willing to work on less-than-legal vehicles for the right price. And I don't mean he'l fix your cannoned-up Mobmaster; I mean, if you've got a Phaeton - a standard Phaeton - and you need repairs, he's willing to do them. But you start bringing in military hardware around, he's going to call the Feds. Don't be stupid.<
>Drexel
Yeah, they're blue sunglasses. Close your mouth.

Zack's Gym
Gym archetype, 1200 166th St., Zack Brown, Owner, Extreme Bias toward the unfit, Ltg NA/UCAS-SEA 455-144-8779
Considered by many to be the best of the underground gyms, Zach's has an extraordinary assortment of weightlifting, cardiovascular, and cybertherapy equipment, as well as training in boxing and several self-defense courses. A staff of uncertified but extremely competent trainers and therapists are always present and anxious to assist customers. Rates are reasonable, and membership is discreet.
>They're not kidding. You wouldn't believe the stuff Zack's got in this place. It's the basement of an old warehouse, so it ain't easy to find, but once you get in there...oh, man. It's my favorite place to get away from the wife and kids.<
>Jimmy B.
>The weights and cardio drek are nothing special, nothing you can't get in a thousand other places for only a little more. But Zack doesn't care about ware or SIN. And the cybertherapy equipment and staff are the best you can get on the streets. I went down the MBW road recently, and when the doc let me leave, I could barely walk straight. A couple of weeks at Zach's, and I could move well enough to at least do some work. A couple of months, and I was moving in ways I couldn't ever have imagined. Do yourself a favor: if you get ware - any ware - get therapy, and get it here. It's the only way you'll get the most out of your new gear. And Zack knows some good docs, too.<
>Messianic
I will show you the truth and the light.
>Therapy - and intensive therapy - is also the only way you can learn to move like a normal person when you want to. I can spot a joker with wires from a kilometer out, and someone with cyberlimbs from two. But therapy can teach you how to get some control over your kinesics. Completely essential if you're ever going to try to not look like what you really are.<

Large Club Archtype/10833 NE 8th St, Bellevue/Salina Handresser, Owner, Bias towards Poor people, Ltg NA/UCAS-SEA 425-682-4517
For hot clubs outside the downtown area, this is it. Salina has went to huge lengths in order to make this the place for all the hot up an comings in the Seattle upper echelon. Security is of course top notch, but once inside, its a meat market for the terminally rich.
The dance floor encompasses most of the space on the ground level with 3 bars surrounding it. Once you leave ground level you have a few choices, pay top dollar for a "private party" room, Mingle with others, or go dancing on one of the three rotating glass dance floors. Salina is an accomplished mage who uses magic to keep this discs rotating.
>>>Bullshit she does the work; she has some poor spirit locked into service!
-Out of this world<<<
>>>That’s her ally for those of you who know your 2 nuyen worth
-Magically Adept<<<
>>>Those dance floors are something else I tell ya! But watch yourself when getting off, if your not use to being suspended above the ground spinning, it takes a bit of getting use to.
-Slick<<<
>>>There is an awful lot of interest in certain corners of Bellevue into how Salina actually came into the money that she threw into this.

Markies is one of the North East sides featured attractions. Markies features the best Elven dishes outside of either Tir. Fresh ingriedants are flown in daily, making the price per dish out the reach of many, but well worth it. The atmosphere is warm, and comfortable, with plenty of real greenery to decorate this spacious restraraunt. Markies is modeled after Irish pubs of legend, and holds weekly Darts tournaments, as well as brewing some stuff that would stagger a Troll.
>If they let said Troll in. There are no guarentees he'd make it out alive. If you are an Ork or a Troll, do not go near this place. Bunch a pointy eared jack booted racists! Local Police have failed to investigate any of the three murders that have taken place near this den of Elven Overlords! We will make them pay!<
>Sons Of Sauron
Never Forget! Never Give In!
>But more importantly my Tusked friend this is where you go to find out what the Tir is doing in Seattle. Markie was a Ghost, thats right a Tir Drop Commando, and still maintains close ties, despite his supposed ouster, and dishonorable discharge. Its likely he is running Intelligence gathering Operations inside Seattle and the Pacific North West.<

[align=center]Baker Street Theatre[/align]
Medium theatre, Address pending, Danny Kale - owner, Silvia Hart - manager, Bias against rich,
Baker Street Theatre is a clever play on words, fitting for the business. While there is no Baker Street in Seattle, The half theatre is open to the street which doubles as the audience. Once a promanent opera house as near as anyone can tell, half the buildiing was demolished at some point, leaving only the stage and its wings intact. Danny Kale, the founder and owner, bought the small building adjacent to the theatre to serve as the storage and offices, while the actual stage and equipment is used to put on productions. The actors and crew are all locals to the neighborhood, mostly SINless bums. Whether Silvia provides classics or homegrown scripts, the productions are often entertaining. There is limited seating on decent benches on the property which customers pay for, by peope are encouraged to bring chairs and sit on the sidealk, or watch from the roofs across the street or next to the building.
>Baker Street isn't as in bad shape as Danny would have you believe. Sure, it looks like the place is gonna fall down any minute, but that half building is rock solid and the tech equipment is pretty good, too. We don't much like rich kids hanging around, but I hear its becoming a hot spot for corp kids who want to slum it<
>Ophelia
>So where's the cred, eh? 2 nuyen a seat doesn't net you much profit, how can they afford the place and the equipment, costumes, what have ya?<
>Curious Greg
>Go look you up a book sometime, Curious, guy by the name of Sir Authur Conan Doyle wrote some stories about a guy named Sherlock Holmes, big dectective. Had a group of street kids and bums called the Baker Street Irregulars, did some tasks for him, gathered some info. 10 gets you 20 there are some runners out there who pay big cred for the info the modern Irregulars pick up. When's the last time you ever really noticed a bum, eh?<

[align=center]Calico's Cat[/align]
Small Head Shop/Location Varies, always on the northern border of Puyallup/Jake Calico, Owner, Bias toward Shamen, Talismongers, Neo-Tribals, Obvious Dislike of Corporate and Law Enforcement types, Ltg NA/UCAS-SEA 425-665-4765
Jake Calico runs his smokehouse from out of the back of his heavily modified Bison. The heavily graphitti-ed vehicle lumbers through the shady streets of Puyallup like some kind of psychadelic icecream truck. He does business in all forms of mood altering drugs and devices.
>Jake's a great guy. He's the guy who turned me onto Mongolian Purple Dreams.<
>>Bladogue
>Purple Screams more like it. You best watch yourself Dog. If you feel the worms under your skin, you'd better do a hit or three of Peyote.<
>>Stormy
>That Bison is more than you'd think. I swear I saw the whole paint scheme change three times as I walked up to score some moodies.

Talismonger shop archetype/custom jewelry, border of Everett and Snohomish, Obvious dislike of people with violent tendencies. Ltg NA/UCAS-SEA 555-746-3649
Lysette Owens is the discrete owner and proprietor of this little talismonger shop, and is well known for being able to obtain even the rarest alchemical items, as well as being able to custom make almost any type of foci. Just be prepared to pay a steep price, but the quality of the items she produces. She is also well known for her handmade jewelry, which many magicians purchase for making their own foci.
>> This lady maybe a pacifist, but don't start trouble in or around her place due to the various spirits that like to hang around (seems they like her music, Phoenix shamans, go figure). And whatever you do, don't piss her off because her temper will burn as brightly as her Totem.
- Bludgeon
>> Found the hard way, eh Bludgeon? And just because she has a pretty face doesn't mean she doesn't have a sharp mind, which she does. Lysette has been known to do runs, but has become semi-retired due to her pacifistic nature. If you find a run that'll pique her interest, you couldn't ask for more solid magical support. She's been also known to lead runs for a rare object for one of her foci, and those you want to be in on since she pays very well.

Oak's Plaza Dental
Shadow Dentist's office, 3 Oak Plaza, dislike of debt collectors and members of the medical establishment, distrust of law enforcement types. Ltg 867-538-9911
The modern shadowrunner or SINless individual often overlooks some of the smaller needs, such as hygene. In particular, dental hygene. With a diet of food such as sloppy soys and high-action choco-bars, teeth can rot very easily. Unfortunately, dentistry is one area of medicine very under the thumb of corporate interests. No SIN or corporate equivalent, no fillings. It's a rare facility that breaks these rules and Dr. Forrest Sherman, DDS, runs one of them. For a few nuyen more in 'processing costs', he'll be happy to provide services to the systematically disadvantaged. His facilities are spartan, but clean, and run on normal business hours.
>Let me tell you, brother, this guy is a lifesaver. A little nervous, maybe, but I suppose that comes with dealing with folks like me. I had to get a root canal after a particularly bad bar fight, and he's the only guy who even let me in the door.
>>Silver Tooth Tony
"You never know when a silver bite comes in handy..."
>Meh, he's just doing what anyone would in his position. The Mafia's leaning on him hard, and he's doing anything he can to keep his business afloat. We just represent an untapped market. In fact, he sold me some nitrous oxide a few weeks ago, and he installed a tooth-compartment in a friend of mine's mouth just the other day. He's a good fella, though. Treats everybody like everbody else--'cept if they've got a badge, of course. I hope he stays in business.

Cedano Sugar
Large Warehouse Archetype, South Highway 167, Pedro Cedano, Manager, No Bias, Ltg 206-440-4576
Cedano Sugar imports quality cane and beets from the Kingdomof Haw'ii for retail in the UCAS. Some of this pure sugar and beets is processed into confectionaires or sold raw to local consumers. Hours are Monday thru Saturday 0900 to 2100.
>Planning a sugar run to the TransPolar Aleut? Here's your starting point. Despite the blurb, they import from the CAS,the Phillipines and yes, Aztlan. Sugar is relatively cheap (Compared to say BTL...) and has the benefit of being completely legal in the UCAS, and most of North America. Cedano can load up an entire T-bird in just under an hour. And dirt cheap to boot.<
>Candyman
>Cedano has few friends in the Tribal Council, who have protested what they see as State Sanctioned smuggling operations. His regular shipments of cane are routinely delayed and held by the NAN, which is why he imports from all over. His home has been firebombed three times, he's been beaten and shot at, but he still sticks with it. His employees(Who are by the way, mostly Orks and Trolls and not Native Americans) treat him like a war hero for keeping the plant open and in the neighborhood.<

Corner of Becket St and Carnegie Rd, No Bias.
A public access matrix terminal.
>Oh god, not this.<
>Captain Chaos
>This terminal has become something of legend in the Shadowrunning community. It's not that it's any different from any of the other terminals out there (although it is older than most), just it's a piece of history that's still standing for some reason. It was from this terminal that various deckers throughout history have made some of the largest datasteals, due to it having been in such a horrific area that was later re-developed. The old terminal still stands, mostly due to the public redevelopment plans being adjusted from the terminal. It's seen brainwaves via datajacks of deckers such as Mirage, Echo Dolphin, Fastjack, and of course, the good Captain Chaos himself.<
> Chimp
>As a result of its legendary status, it's become something of a initiation amongst some deckers, to make large datasteals from that very terminal. This, however, has been picked up by the Star, and they keep an eye on the thing. Plenty of up and coming deckers have been snagged because they thought they were good enough to make a break from the fabled 3278. Sometimes they're not snagged there and there, either. Sometimes they're just logged, and the Star gives them an offer they can't refuse...<

DeLon Design
Medium Retail Store/805 N Palatine Ave, Tony (Pronounced To-nay) DeLon, strong bias against the poor, LTG NA/UCAS-SEA 823-485-9203
DeLon design is one of the best places in Seattle to find the latest fashions being favored by the social elite, as well as any custom-tailored clothing that one can pay for. Much of Seattle's upper-crust is rumored to shop here, with customers ranging from mafioso to megacorporate management. All customers are equal in Tony's eyes, some more equal than others depending on the size of their credstick.
The merchandise ranges from the latest being worn in the boardrooms, to the flashiest being worn on the dancefloor. They all have one thing in common, however: their hefty pricetag.
If money isn't an object and style is your game, DeLon's is for you.
>So why the hell should we lowly Shadowrunners care?<
>Cynic
>Think about it, omae. Custom tailor jobs? Corporate elite? Someone's got to take the measurements, and any fashion designer worth his lisp is going to take the measurements by hand, or have someone do it for him. Grease the right palms and you just may be able to get a bug planted, find out what kind of heat or armor a mark is packing, or at the very least get some female suit's measurements. Karen King.

[align=center]Steel Rain[/align]
Address (Somebody get me something on the south edge of downtown), Patches, Owner and Operator, Strong bias for the poor and toward techheads, strong bias against corpsec, Ltg NA/UCAS-SEA-815-379-2255
Just on the southern edge of downtown is Steel Rain. It’s a home away from home for nostalgic businessmen from across the Pacific. Twenty-four hours a day, you can hear the vibrantly chaotic sounds of three hundred pachinko machines in this building. They are lined up facing each other in long rows of twenty-five machines. At the end of each row is a changing machine spits out small, nearly indestructible metal-ceramic ball bearings. One nuyen will get you 400 balls.
Pachinko works like it always has, but bound spirits, holography, miniature drones and simsense have made it more than just watching the steel rain shower down through spinners and pins. These machines are always in top condition and are upgraded regularly. Steel Rain is a virtual Mecca for Japanese pachinko faithful. The prizes run the gamut from cheap food, to toys, to fairly expensive jewelry and watches.
Security is tight, as the man in charge, Patches, is Maximum Metal. So far as anyone can tell, this eight foot behemoth is at least sixty percent combat-quality cybernetics. Both legs and his left arm are full cyber replacement, and he’s been fully body plated as well. He’s always out front, and one must assume he’s got a sleep regulator as well, as he’s there for days at a time. His staff consists of three or four nice looking girls on the other side of some decent-strength armored wall and two way monitors.
Patches always has a soft spot for folks who look like they happen to be out of luck. He’s always got a few extra kilograms of ball bearings in a pocket that he happily hands over to folks who look like they could use a package of krill cakes or a cheap thermo blanket.
>You have to watch your ass around Patches, that freak throws a punch that dents a mobmaster
>Black Dog
>Sure, you feebs try to boost a couple of retired sarariman on P-man’s square, get tore up and you blame him for being in traction for a month. Bad karma dude.
>Bubbles XXX000
>Master Patches is to be commended for his most excellent work in recreating a Japanese parlor here in Seattle. My associates and I love to come and spend an enjoyable hour or two with his innovative machines.

Bold As Brass
Weapon Shop archetype, (Address Pending), Ethan Phillips, Owner, No bias, LTG 405-667-6658
With an extremely bright and colourful exterior, this has got to be one of the most cheery looking weapon retailers in Seattle. Ethan is a genuine firearm connoisseur with a high tolerance for those less knowledgable about your average sidearm, making his small shop a little more welcoming than some of the bigger retailers. High popularity amongst your average sprawl denizen and experienced gun owner keeps trade brisk.
>Rumours have it that the owner is an ex runner, or at least someone with extensive military training and lots of field time. He's had personal experience with most of the stuff he sells and he knows what he's talking about. He's a nice guy...just don't piss him off. I've witnessed first hand what he can do armed with nothing more than a credchip and some brute force.<

>The owner is a goddamn psychopath, I tell you this now.<

Ethan is a genuine firearm connoisseur with a high tolerance for those less knowledgable about your average sidearm, making his small shop a little more welcoming than some of the bigger retailers. High popularity amongst your average sprawl denizen and experienced gun owner keeps trade brisk.
>Rumours have it that the owner is an ex runner, or at least someone with extensive military training and lots of field time. He's had personal experience with most of the stuff he sells and he knows what he's talking about. He's a nice guy...just don't piss him off. I've witnessed first hand what he can do armed with nothing more than a credchip and some brute force.<
-Demonifuge
>He does some off the wall custom jobs, I can tell you that for free. I love the fact my Franchi Spas has a compartment for my toothbrush.<
-Wallbanger
>Wallbanger, the drugs are working, just not in the way you think.<
-Demonifuge
>The owner is a goddamn psychopath, I tell you this now.<
-Vortex
>You wouldn't be that little punk who attempted to lift that chromed Savalette from the counter, would you? Just count yourself lucky that taser was the only thing I had to hand. Hows the limp, you little fragger?<
-PointBlank
And we all love napalm...theres one thing we've learned...that we all love napalm...its the way that it burns...

In The Shadows
Club archetype / Aurora Street and Mercer / Owner: Rupert Mills, Manager: Mike Francis / LTG: NA/UCAS-SEA 206-821-7928
Despite the name, In the Shadows is not some sort of runner bar, rather it's a gothic/industrial/fetish nightclub int eh basement of the Universal Omnitech office tower downtown. Rupert Mills bought the entire basemetn in 2058 and has been leasing parts of it to various organizations since then.
> The basement wasn't really "bought" - it was severance pay for Rupert when Omnitech laid him off.
> Trailsinger
> That's a mighty big settlement! What did Mills <b>do</b> there?
> Rachel, ESQ
> Saw, my friend, saw. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
> Red Wraith
In the Shadows is managed by Miles Francis and several of his friends. Bemoaning the lack of clubs for people in the goth/industrial scene, Francis scraped up the money to rent 1000sq feet Friday and Saturday nights. Even without a liquor license the club was a success, and a liquor license and 5 day a week operations soon followed (The club is closed Mondays and Tuesdays.)
> Since it's downtown, the club attracts yuppies and corp kisd playing dress-up more than the organizers would like.
> Rapture
Besides the unique location, the club is well known for three things: Friendly staff and community oriented patrons, a variety of competent and creative DJs, and theme nights on the first and third Saturday of each month. Cover charge is 10y, or 20y if you don't adhere to the gothic/industrial/fetish dress code.

The Dancing Ronin
Nightclub Archetype, (Address pending), Koshiro Mishura, owner, slight bias against trolls and orks, LTG 532-982-3221
One of the more bizarre nightspots in Seattle, the Dancing Ronin is contained within what appears at first glance to be nothing more than a large warehouse. A small, comparitively subtle green neon sign indicates the entrance. However the inside of the club is something of a marvel to behold. The spacious interior has been segmented into four distinctly different musical areas with the use of giant slabs of specially treated reinforced glass, so that nightclub patrons appear to be dancing inside one of four giant rectangular prisms, two at ground level, two on the first floor. Sound proofed "buffer" areas containing walkways and stairwells provide access to adjoining sections, in addition to some small seating areas provided for tired partygoers to escape the noise and relax in comparitive peace for a few minutes.
<Here's the voice of experience, ladies. I wouldn't suggest wearing any low cut tops when you're dancing on any of the ground level rooms otherwise you'll attract a lot of attention, unwanted or otherwise, from those dancing immediately above you. Drool on glass is so passe.>
-Razorsmile
<All that glass, I bet it looks *really* pretty at the end of a hard nights partying, with the sweat, the beer and the drool. Nice. Who's stupid idea was this?>
-Ubergeist
< A great place to go if you want to make friends with the Yakuza, thats for sure. Watch your step. I also heard the Dancing Ronin has a well hidden fifth basement area which is little more than a combat arena, where those unfortunate enough to offend the Yaks sensibilities get treated to their own private 'party'. At best you'll get a severe beating, at worst...use your imagination, chummers. >
-TenTonHammmer
<All of TenTonHammers observations are simply rumours started by my less successful competitors in a fit of jealously. The Yakuza hold no sway in my establishment and all this talk of a secret 'combat arena' is pure fiction.>
-JadeDragon
<Yeah right! I got some pretty unfunny scars from your nonexistent arena, you fraghead!> <<<DisplayImage:SuckingChestWound.jpg>>>
-ColdSteele

[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.

Orchard Trailer Park
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.<

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.<

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.]

[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.<

[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.<

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.
