Neon Rave?
Found in 33 Hlavní apartment #202 (John Dubnyk's apartment), on the bathtub.

To: Nový Neon

From: Katarina Wenzel

I hope last night isn't getting you down. Seriously, the kid was augmented and we tried to warn her. It's her own fault for not listening. So let's move on and focus on tonight.

Someone said something about a Neon rave behind Ludvik courtyard. Apparently you need a keycard to get in? How do I get one? Why are these parties such a secret? Why are you holding out on me!?

Katarina

P.S. You should get your apartment cleaned. It's gross.

Careful, Sister

I hear bad things about Neon. I don't think it's as harmless as people say it is. Please, Ilonka, just because you get invited somewhere doesn't mean you have to go...

Hello Friends,

You are all cordially invited to the Tubehouse for a screening of Solar Masked Cyborg O, a tale of a man re-engineered to cause havoc on the world, only to turn against his own creators for the good of mankind.

Bionic arms, legs, the whole thing, but all used in the name of justice.

There's even a part where he kicks some anthropomorphic monster...thing, and it EXPLODES! How cool is that?! Between us, I act it out in the store when the rest of the staff leaves for the night.

l have an old optical disc reader that's a decade or two old, but still functional. It should be able to read these discs I had to smuggle in from overseas.

No need for help. Shit's still coming through from the PČR, it's just getting harder to keep the same volume. Trust me I'm doing what I can. What's good about this Kosinski guy in Warsaw is he says they're seeing a lot [sic] of older military hardware too which can still be interesting as well as the usual. Arrangment [sic] stays the same. If I get to the locker before the weekend I'll leave you some stuff to look through.

1. Good job re: Warsaw. I'll let Radich know. We'll still be moving weapons from the Prague cops too though, right? That arrangement is powering more than a few handshakes so we need to know if there's going to be a problem. Do we need another middleman to help out or you're good?

2. Yefim set up a second VIP in the Palisade using 0411 so any credit drops or bonus prizes need to go in that one from now on.

To: madamephotographe

From: thewatcher

I got what files I could on the Subject without raising any alarms; they're not as recent as the visitor wanted, but it will have to do for now. Bad day. Dropped my P-Sec (it's clean, don't worry), but I thought I had eyes on me, so I left the files in the safe in the apartment instead. Let the visitor know that the code to the safe is 3608.

Hey,

The Visitor is coming back to Prague. He needs updated files on the Subject. Whatever you can get. And recent. He was insistent. Sorry for the short notice, you know how he is. He'll pick-up the files out of the storage unit. FYI, I've just recoded it, it's 5053.

Leave me a message there if you have any trouble.

Good luck.

Do Not Take Neon!
''Found on the body of a dead Neon raver in the Rave club. This pocket secretary is part of the Neon Nights side mission.''

To: Darko Synek

From: Mina Majerova

Darko, I've been looking everywhere for someone that will sell us Neuropozyne. My search led me to a complex by Pilgrim station. There's an apartment with a swan on the door. Inside is a secret room that proves that this little "cleaning service" is actually a front for moving drugs.

I didn't find any Neuropozyne, but I did learn something valuable: the reason no one wants to sell Neon to the augmented is because it is fatal to anyone with Neuropozyne in their system! Please, make sure you stay away from it!

Tell as many of our friends as you can!

Plumbing problem
Found in Ludvik's Lounge.

To: STAFF

From: Ludvik Coen

We had a little problem yesterday. The pipes in the basement burst. Flooded. l was going to have someone come in and check the vent, but now of course the plumbing has to be done first.

Whoever is on shift should let the repairman into the storage room when he arrives.

It's 3419, for those of you whose memories are like John's.

A Better Place
Found in the basement of Liborio's shop, Negozio di Magia.

To: Liborio Barbadoro

From: Richard the Great

My sweet Liborio,

For the authorities to have canceled our show is humiliating. But to see our friends imprisoned because they are different... To watch as our inventions - our life's work! - get confiscated and destroyed... I know you are not easily outraged. You will find a way to adapt to this new world. You will compromise. Does this makes you a better man than me or does it make you worse? Regardless, you know The Community Initiative was never about magic and entertainment for me; it was about alternatives - about creating places people could escape to. The hours we spent crafting worlds together were the happiest of my life. I intend to extend them into eternity.

Forever yours,

Richard

Duty roster next week

To: M.Awadalla@pcr.le

Three poker nights in a row and now patrol duty at Ruzi? No wonder Lena complains I see you more than her :)

Control says we're up Monday. Security PW at the station is DELLAROCCA. I've got a feeling after this weekend I'm going to have trouble remembering YOUR name, never mind passwords. Assuming we don't die of boredom patroling the metro, I've got some ideas for where to hold the tournament next Saturday. See you tomorrow.

VIKTOR MARCHENKO
''Found at Monument Station. This is the subject of the "Dead Drop" point of interest during the mission Facing the Enigma.''

To: anon74@hackernet

From: anon67@hackernet

Here's what we know:

Born: 1991 near Zaporizhia, Ukraine

Parents were illiterate railway workers.

Left school after 10 years (2 years shy of the compulsory 12) to become a shift worker on a drilling gang looking for shale-gas deposits in eastern Ukraine.

Ran into trouble in 2011 when a group of Pro-Russian separatists started a fight with his crew in Mariupol after work; he tried to break it up, got injured, and ended up in hospital. Could have been when he got augmented-not sure. (Records get pretty scarce here. In fact, there's a good 12 year period we can't account for, and no record of when or where he DID get augmented.)

Shows up again briefly in 2023, this time with a wife and newborn kid: Alisa Maratovna and Raisa Viktorichna. Only now he's in Belgorod.

Which I don't get, frankly.

A pro-Ukrainian national moving to Russia only makes sense if he stayed with energy companies all those years. Everyone wanted a piece of their reserves after 2015. But that would have put him somewhere in Siberia, not Belgorod. Belgorod is on the border with Ukraine. It's got nothing to do with oil. It does, however, have a long history of military occupation-and in 2016, it was the city from which the newly-minted Russian Federated States deployed Belltower Associates to quell Ukraine's anti-separatist dissension once and for all. So, why's he having a kid there in 2023? Still working on finding that one out. AND on ﬁnding out what happened to the wife and kid afterward. Because neither of them were with him when he emigrated to the Utulek Complex last year.

Dávný District
The Dávný District (also known as "Dávný Čtvrť", although this is not a proper Czech term) is the area to the east of the street that runs from the Tourist Center to the river and passes under the Pedestrian Bridge, and west of the Red Light District. This district contains the following pocket secretaries.

Something Happened in 202
Found in Libuše apartment #84.

To: Cygnus

From: Labut

Cygnus, I went to 33 Hlavni like you asked - the "Neon Nights" party. You're right about the kid. I'm sure now that he can be trusted. He doesn't like the Dvali anymore than we do. The others I think are OK as well... except a girl named Katarina who looks like trouble to me. Not Dvali kind of trouble. Just trouble trouble.

Anyway, something happened at the party that we have to talk about. I saw a side of Neon I've never seen before. I suspect you already know what I'm talking about...

Labut

Neon Lab Codes
''Found in Libuše apartment #84, in the safe in the hidden room. This pocket secretary is part of an objective in the Neon Nights side mission.''

To: Cygnus

From: Harmony Knapkova

Change in plans, Cygnus. It's getting too tough for me to smuggle Neon out of the lab. The Dvali guards are on to me. It'll be safer if we organize some kind of pick up.

The lab is underground beneath the Zelen apartment complex. Find the generators and you find the lab, There are two doors you will have to pass, The code to both of them is 0311. Sounds easy right? Problem is they've installed a turret between those two doors.

Scope things out when you can and tell me what you think.

Goodbye, Vince
Found on the body of Vince Black during the Fade to Black side mission.

To: Czarnobog

From: Roman Brusilov

So Vince Black is Czarnobog. Czarnobog is Vince Black. How long did you expect to live two lives without me finding out? And to think, you might have kept fooling us had you not told her. She's very good isn't she? Knows how to make a man feel safe. Loved, even?

By the time you read this, Vlasta will be holding a gun to your face. I asked him to give you something before pulling the trigger. She said it was your favorite.

Don't like the new psychologist. She's asking questions about us, getting a little too interested. Probably goes into our office when we're not there. I changed the code to the safe just in case. It's now 7913.

Hello, Davis

Welcome aboard! Not sure if you received this in your welcome package (did you get your welcome package?), but in case not, here's your magic number... the code for the employees only area!

Homeless problem
Found in the security office. To: STAFF_ALL

From: Leyland Gant

Attention all,

While it's sad to see so many people on the streets, we can't just leave the station open to anyone wandering in and hiding themselves away, Homeless or not, it's not great for paying customers and poses a serious security issue in light of the recent attacks. I have spoken with the powers-that-be, and they have agreed to install new security equipment. I'm going to be out for the day so, when the security guy from Sobchak shows up, someone will need to let him into the server room and keep him happy Keypad code is 9143,

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, an old woman with a Cadillac on each foot and her own business. It's a hell of a lot more than I got, Alme. My heart bleeds.

As a matter of fact I did find something but I wanted to follow up on it before I got back to you, but, well, you don't walk into a place like the Palisade bank looking the way I do.

Seems 6641 is a code to a safe at the bank. It's in room B, row 01. I'm guessing that's where your inheritance is. Well, it had better be. After digging my way through dear old granny's boxes of musty old shit for three days and choking on dust from the 20th century, I'd say I'm ready for my 15%. Please, no need to thank me.

Shipment's coming through marked from Kosinski early morning so make sure Blu has pulled the right crate. One other thing - Igor and the boys won't be picking up from the drop-off locker until the weekend so I want you to ask no questions, lift twice the usual cut and bring it to the bar as soon as you get into Prague. You can drop the rest as usual on Friday. Keypad doesn't change until Monday so it's still set to 0610. I'll explain more when I see you.
