Memory Market
Staying out of sight, you watch the man glance at his scanner and then head away from the café. You quietly pursue him, your movements precise and deliberate to avoid detection in the wet and reflective streets.Spotting a pile of crates near the back door of the café, you act quickly. You toss a memory scrambler device in their direction, creating a loud pop and scattering sparks. The man’s reaction to the distraction gives you the chance to stealthily approach for a better look.Stepping into the dim light, you draw a blade from your coat, its edge catching the rain. Locking eyes with the man, you demand he reveal who he’s watching and why he’s doing it.Reaching for a single-use communicator, you hurriedly send Lira a covert message: “Not safe. Leave immediately.” Trusting she’ll understand, you turn on your heel and weave through the narrow alleyways, putting distance between yourself and the café.
