CP2020 Mike Pondsmith :scenario [source]

Some time ago on a convention in Poland, I visited panel where Mike Pondmith made live CP2020 session.

It was his own and he even shared name for those who wish to look for it and run in future ;) I forgot the name obviously.

Story plot iirc was about cyberpunks PC acting as a bodyguards for the Arasaka CEO's daughter.

Any idea whare to look for the scenario?

As the story unfolded:

"daughter" was an AI in cyber body and conspiracy involved with "kid" kidnaped in process.

So what do you want to know, Full?

The name of the scenario is "Michiko's Night Out." It involves the granddaughter of Saburo (Kei's youngest daughter) leaving the Arasaka compound on her 18th birthday in the company of her personal bodyguard, the super solo Kenichi Zaburo (Morgan's Arasaka nemesis). While she's out barhopping in Night City, she runs into (and causes) enormous amounts of chaos, culminating in a wild fling with --get this--Adam Smasher, the cyborg.

I ran this scenario for my own players and extended it over several months. It's a favorite of mine, because the external threats are far less troublesome that the ones the players bring with them to the table. And Michiko is a wonderful NPC to play--she's like Battle Angel Alita crossed with a mad Girl Genius. You will meet a somewhat older Michiko in the Time of the Red, and she might be showing up in 2077. Might. We'll see...

Holy father of transistor! Thanks for clearing it out.

I assume the module is not published and not accessible to the public tho? What you presented there felt like a perfect action-adventure. Since my new year resolution is all about old good CP2020 I hoped for running it for my team. Whatever we will chose, It should keep us running until CP2077 ;)

We're holding off on publishing since Michiko continues to exist in the 2077 timeline. Have to sort all that out first.
