conversations.value: The future sucks.
  
  Quite some time back, America was an urban sprawl -- a single "megacity" where you could traverse subways and pedwalks from the Atlantic to the Pacific without ever seeing a tree or flower. Vat-grown meat and oxygen processing plants kept everyone healthy, though quality of life never seemed to skyrocket.
  
  Now, 99% of the world's wealth is in the hands of 0.001% of the population, who live luxuriously in immense walled *Cities.* The remainder of us are stuck out here in the *Sprawl,* eking out a life amid the crumbling ruins of civilization. Life is cheap and "the law" is what you make it -- either you protect yourself or you have a contract with someone who can.
  
  **Life In The Sprawl**
  
  We still use currency, if only because no one can imagine life without it; one *megabuck* (MB) is a million U.S. dollars, about enough to buy a bottle of soda. There are businesses, ranging from street-cart vendors to magnates with dozens of stores, but the largest corporations all trace back to one of the *Citizens* (residents of a City).
  
  The air is perpetually smokey and the water is tainted, but everyone alive today has adapted to deal with it. In fact, we've done more than adapt -- splicing clinics are ready to "cyber you up" for the right price, as long as you don't question who, er, *where* the parts came from. And just to be clear, there's no "cyberspace" that you can jack your brain into out here in the Sprawl; just be glad the Internet datalines are still up.
  
  **Game Concept and Characters**
  
  You are a group of friends who watch each other's backs and occasionally work together as freelance "troubleshooters." The story will start with all of you gathered in an office, talking with a client about a potentially lucrative job.
  
  Before the beginning of the first scene, I will be giving each player a specific Asset card-set representing cyberwear, gear, or other external resources that make sense for your character. Be sure to choose the most important things about your character as your Strength and Weakness -- the Asset will be an extra, secondary resource that doesn't automatically refresh.
