 **New Year 2023**

Cybersanta is the fourth NPC that survivors will encounter during the progression of main quest in New Year's 2023 event. Successfully completing his quest will reward you with a Cybermitten, which is an item used to summon *Cybersnowmen* during ingame battle.

## **Encounter**

 Cave Santa led us along the way, but at a certain point, we just started heading toward the thunder of the music and found the stage. Cybersanta is jumping on it. Amazingly, among the roaring crowd is someone from Krampus’s gang.

*“You came… Samurai, we have a city to burn…”*

Cave Santa pats Cybersanta on the back sympathetically as the latter bends over a trash can.

Actions: Tell him about Krampus Claus
*“Ah, that’s why you’re here. The damn corpos are taking gifts from regular people! Well, I tapped into the decks of a couple mercs while they were partying. Let’s roll-we gotta hack their ice.”*
Actions: *“What?”*
*“Choom, why is it that I’m exhausted, and yet you’re the one who’s slow on the uptake?! Did you wanna find out about the superweapon? I know where they’re keeping the info. We’re going there.”*
 I’m at the place. The building is made of ice. The door is remarkably smooth and strong. There’s not even a gap between the door and the jamb. I can’t get in without explosives.

*“What kind of hacker comes through the front? I cracked their back door and got in a while ago. C’mon, we’ve got lots of work to do.”*
Actions: Go inside
*“You take the door to the control room while I prep something for the main hack.”*
 Apart from the walls of ice, it’s an ordinary room with some furniture and another door across from the entrance. Cybersanta has connected some box with buttons to the circuit breaker on the wall and is tinkering with it.

Option 1: Go to the door
Option 2: Go to the table
Option 3: Go to the shelves
Response to Option 1: Beside the door is a panel with buttons. Above the panel is an instruction. Enter the correct sequence.
1) Press button 7A
2) Press button 55
3) Press button 1C
4) Press button E9
5) Call to Cybersanta
Response to *Calling Cybersanta*:
“You still haven’t hacked this piece of junk? Look under the table-these gonks scribbled the code right under it.”
Option 2: Go to the table
On the table are papers with some crazy diagrams and a jar. At the bottom of the jar are the last two pieces of candy: blue and red.
1) Eat the blue candy
2) Eat the red candy
3) Look under the table
Result of eating the blue candy: "*It feels like I'm getting sick.",* Effects per Hour:  -4 HP, Duration: 24 Hours
Result of eating red candy:  Christmas Mood, Effects:  +100 Max Food,  +100 Max Energy, -25% Duration of Sickness & Injury, Duration: 7 Days
Result of looking under the table: A code is scribbled under the table: E9, 7A, 1C, 55
Option 3: Go to the shelves
The gang is storing their weapon here! Nice find.  +1, +10
**After choosing *Option 1* and putting in the correct sequence of codes, the progression of quest continues**
The lock on the door made a click. I did it!

Actions: *“I’m not really…”*
*“Listen, choom, I’d love to chat, but the corpos are gonna show up any minute and zero us before you can blink. Now go!”*
 The room is small and dimly lit. There is indeed a metal box on the table, and somewhere in the dark on a dresser is a phone.

Actions: Connect the wire
The phone rings.

Actions:  Run after Cybersanta

Actions: *“Cut it out! How do we stop it?”*
*“The weapon works on magic. If we could hack into it, no problem. But as for what to do with this Christmas magic-I have no idea… Although… I do know a wizard. Yeah!”*
Actions: *“Who?”*
*“I learned a lot from him when I was younger. If we can get him here, we could do something! Well, ready to do your voodoo and decorate the tree?”*

## **Rewards**

**New Year 2024**

* Christmas Gift x1
* Holiday Energy Drink x1

## **Trivia**

* Concepts in this quest might have been referenced to the movie *The Matrix,* specifically the *Blue* & *Red Pill* options and also the glitches during the battle. In addition, Cybersanta has a striking resemblance to the protagonist of that movie *Neo* otherwise known in real life as *Keanu Reeves.*
* This quest was introduced on version 737 along with the New Year 2023 event.
