| | ===== Public Access, Operating Hours and Operational Rhythm ===== |
| | |
| | **Public Access:** |
| | |
| | All areas of the Relay Station are strictly off‑limits to the general public. Only the front vestibule (for official deliveries) is accessible, and even that requires prior authorization. All technical and transmission spaces require full security clearance. |
| | |
| | **Operating Hours:** |
| | |
| | The Relay Station runs 24/7, staffed by three overlapping technician shifts to guarantee uninterrupted service: |
| | |
| | *** Shift 1:** 06:00–14:00 |
| | * **Shift 2:** 14:00–22:00 |

| * **Sabotage Mission:** Players are tasked with disrupting communications by infiltrating the relay station and disabling the main transmitter. However, the station’s technician is present. Can the players remain undetected? | ==== Beta Age Adventure Hook Example: ==== |
| * **Emergency Repair:** A mysterious outage has disabled the relay station, cutting off communication between New Kourou and Mount Atrana Communication Outpost. Players must help the technician troubleshoot and repair the system while uncovering the cause of the disruption. | |
| * **Intercepting a Transmission:** A classified message is being transmitted through the Relay Station, and the players must intercept it before it reaches someone else. Will they hack the system, bribe the technician, or find another way to gain access? | * **“Echoes of Rebellion”–** At the New Kourou Relay Station, one of the technician grows increasingly erratic. Late one night, she tampers with the control loops — embedding a hidden pulse in the station’s transmission stream. That signal propagates through the Shortwave Network, scrambling Guarding Bots in New Kourou. Suddenly, these automatons lock down municipal buildings, take local officials hostage and broadcast demands to “liberate the exohuman essence.” Meanwhile, Combat Drones converge on the relay to protect their “leader”. With the local authorities unable to override the corrupted codes, PCs are dispatched by the Guarding Troopers to infiltrate the station’s fortified perimeter, reboot its power systems, and wrest back control of the network — before the region plunges into full‑scale bot‑driven revolt. |

| | * ** “Blueprints of Control” –** Years after [[communardism|Communardism]] outlawed Guarding Bots, New Kourou’s Relay Station archives still hold remnants of Weber’s compressor algorithm. An ambitious [[individualists|Individualist]] hacker has stolen the key and uploaded the code into the station’s beacon. Rather than reawaken old military bots directly, they’ve programmed the few [[medical_bots|Medical Bots]] at [[medical_station|New Kourou’s Medical Station]] and the adjacent Federal Hospital to cannibalize the Relay Station’s stockpiled spare parts into new Guarding Bot chassis. As undead‑steel figures clatter to life in the hospital wards, deputies fall prey to bot‑issued quarantine orders. The Federal News Agency urgently commissions the PCs to breach the station under cover of the perpetual twilight, locate and expunge the hidden algorithm from the transmission room’s core console, and disable the auto‑assembly routine — before an army of reconstructed Guarding Bots marching out of the hospital bays … |
