Memory Market
You notice a vacant memory booth with its door left open just a crack. Slipping inside, you secure the door and engage the neural interface, scrambling your memory signature to evade detection for a short while.Snatching several unstable memory chips from a cluttered stall, you toss them skyward. The chips detonate in a shower of dazzling particles, creating enough confusion for you to disappear into the shifting mass of people.Your attention is drawn to a maintenance hatch just visible under a heap of crates. With no time to waste, you heave the crates out of the way, open the hatch, and disappear into the dim underground corridors to shake off your tail.Emerging from the crowd, you stride toward the two figures as if you’ve been expecting them. Holding out a forged memory chip, you suggest it’s a high-value item, hoping to distract them long enough to read their intentions.
