I'm starting an EP campaign in the next two weeks. I'll have 4 to 6 players and I want to use Firewall as a unifying force for the group. This is also going to be a first EP game for most of the group, though all but one are familiar with most of the concepts involved.
I usually start with an antagonist. My initial idea is a rogue Firewall agent auctioning off secrets to the highest bidders, or gathering resources for some kind of coup.
A few ideas I'm certain I want to touch on include;red markets, the Martian quarantine zone, lunar banks, the ultimates, uplifts, exhumans and the titianian commonwealth. (I know it could be a lot to cover.). I'm just not sure about how to tie it all together. I thought to start by having the PCs sent to interrupt an auction at a main belt red market station. And tie the rest of the ideas together as information that had already been compromised/sold. I'm sure my idea is full of holes. For example if they interrupt the auction is the seller the rogue firewall agent? Or just a proxy he's using for the sale? For another what is the rogue's goals? Just get enough rep/cred to buy a personal station and drift off into space? I considered the rogue having been a router or proxy, maybe even one using his/a firewall team in his plans.
