Abstract
Your fixer sends you a message: a local CEO is worried that her board members plan to remove her,
and wants your team to ensure she keeps her job. No holds barred, by any means necessary. Seems
simple, so why is the troublesome board member so hard to find?
A 4-6 hour adventure for 1st-3rd level characters

Preface
This is a cyberpunk adventure written mostly for a Pathfinder module called Interface Zero. However,
you should be able to adapt it for Paizo's official Starfinder RPG, or for any other cyberpunk system.
For extra Shadowrun-flavour, you might even try incorporating magic and various fantasy races from
Pathfinder or Dungeons & Dragons.
This adventure was playtested at ConFusion 2017, a New Zealand RPG conference, and on Hacker
Public Radio [http://hackerpublicradio.org/eps.php?id=2424] as an "actual play" miniseries.
Overview
Spoiler alert!
Do not read this part to your players! But the game master should read it to prepare
for this adventure.
Elizabeth Ravadun, CEO of Global Omnium Digital, hires your players because she's afraid that her
board of directors has begun to turn against her. She blames one board member for this: Peter Nazari.
She claims he's turning the others against her, so she wants the players to "deal" with him.
This starts by extracting Peter from his apartment, where he is hiding out.
The penthouse turns out to be empty, but clues lead to an IT worker named Yazid and to Peter's old
flame, Tina.
Upon further investigation, it becomes clear that Peter has joined a hacker group known as the
Tinkerers, and plans on taking down Elizabeth Ravadun as CEO. The players may fight him, or join
him.
If they fight him, he calls upon his old flame, Tina, for reinforcements. Assuming the players subdue
them, the adventure comes to a close.
If the players join him, then they all storm the corporation, fight Elizabeth Ravadun and her forces,
and put a stop to some dark secrets that Elizabeth had been concealing.
