Bad Qi

## Synopsis

*The subway flies over the tracks toward Aberdeen. Monsoon humidity clings to your skin, as if it's followed you from Heoi. Or perhaps it's simply sunk this far into the earth, penetrating stone and machine, rousing the acrid smells of Hong Kong's underground in its wake.*

*You've been handed a promising job - geomantic sabotaage - with a single objective: disrupt the flow of Wuxing qi to destabilize the corporation. Your client is especially keen on the idea of Wuxing's famed geomancy being used against it. The ultimate humiliation.*

*While the corporation's office spaces are free game, the main target is Wuxing's treasured lotus statue, which resides within a temple on the topmost floor of the monolithic building. Your client's instructions are clear. The more damage you do, the worse the qi, and the better the pay.*

## Walkthrough

* Gobbet's Rat Totem: steal spirit/destroy spirit (if she has it) can be quite useful here, as you'll be fighting two packs of spirits during the run.

### Ground Floor

* Start by talking to security and showing them your sketchy ID.
* With a Charisma check, you can get the guard to let you all pass. If you can't pass the charisma check, tell the guard that it's very important that your team come with you, you're escorting them to a new hires meeting, and that they are cleared.
* Head straight to the Matrix Jack Point next to the Employee Check In - There are 3 things to do/get:
	+ Heat Suppression Routine
	+ Access Administrative Override (Mission Item: Security Override)
	+ Wuxing Delivery Data (Paydata: Wuxing Delivery Manifest and ID Badge)
* Use your Admin Override at the Employee Checkin to upgrade your ID
	+ Alternately, you can use Etiquette: Security or Body on the employee in the locker room to get his ID Badge, which will get you into the maintenance room, but not onto the elevators. You can obtain the Admin Override in the maintenance room.
* Show ID at the security checkpoint by the elevators, then take the left elevator to the Offices.
* Alternatively, use Etiquette: Security on the Wuxing Employee in the room in the upper left and tell him you need help with a break-in security drill, then give him the signal. (2 Karma)

### Offices

* On this floor, you will be able to disrupt qi up to 50%.
* At some point, four hostile spirits will be triggered and attack your party.
* The Wall safes contain ¥150 (Quickness, Etiquette: Security, or a code to unlock).
	+ The code is the same Mainframe Access Code used to overload the generator.
* You can pick up the pistol "The Bloody End" with Pistol or Intelligence check.
* The access code to overload the generator is on the desk in the office directly across from the elevators (8484).
* Once you've disrupted qi to 50% and are finished getting things, take the elevator to the rooftop.

### Rooftop Temple

* Hostile Spirits attack pretty much immediately. (3 at first, then two more at the back)
* Disrupt qi up to 100% including desecrating the lotus statue. (1 Karma)
	+ Qi disruption locations include the bushes to the west immediately past the opening area, and the water pipes immediately south east of the Lotus statue.
* Fight your way through 5 mages to escape.
