CYBERACME
CyberAcme Systems, Inc. sits at the intersection of software, hardware, and identity. They are responsible for the cybernetic infrastructure that allows human consciousness to be transferred into Runner shells — the technology that makes the entire Runner system possible. Their contracts focus on diagnostics, system audits, and resource collection to keep their networks running. In return, they offer Runners practical upgrades: faster cooldowns, larger inventories, and the kind of reliability that compounds over dozens of runs.
CyberAcme monetizes the tech that keeps Runners coming back after every death. Their AI handler, Oni, manages day-to-day operations with cold efficiency. Beneath the corporate surface is a bleak implication: CyberAcme has accepted catastrophe as the status quo. They aren’t trying to fix what went wrong on Tau Ceti IV — they’re optimizing around it. For Runners who want their kit to feel smarter rather than deadlier, CyberAcme is the safest place to start.

Good Hatch
There's a hatch I recall fondly. Of all the doors and access points and gates and vents, I liked it best. Give it a visit — somewhere up there. I don't remember where, but as you explore, maybe crack a vault.
OBJECTIVES
Up Your Arsenal
Runners know the odds. As a specialized subspecies of mercenary, you plan for failure and future endeavors. Hence impressive arsenals stashed for future use — tools of the trade, just out there for the taking!
OBJECTIVES
Runner Gunner
You have competition. So many threats to your survival — none as lethal as your rival Runners. Take them apart, please. And a request, between your violence: crack a vault. I dare you.
OBJECTIVES
Servants of Death
The UESC's puppets run on circuitry beholden to programming engineered with express intent to further tighten the grip of established power in a distant solar system. Silly things. I wish they could feel pain.
OBJECTIVES
Cache Rules
I've seen that you are comfortable taking what is not yours. Of course, possession dictates ownership — once acquired, what wasn't yours is, for an unspecified time until another lays claim, typically over your broken shell. And the cycle repeats.
OBJECTIVES
Charge Up, Chill Out
Not to brag, but doors are kinda my thing. That's why I know the majority of highly secured spaces have protective systems that require dedicated power and focused cooling. I also know we need to get you into those spaces. That's why batteries and coolant are as good as gold up here.
OBJECTIVES
Security Protocols
Security Monitors aren't good company, but they are worth getting to know, if only selfishly. The more you understand this deck's systems and layout, the more comfortably you will move through its corridors. And everyone knows, spatial familiarity breeds lethality.
