Love and Deepspace - RPG

You were a detective assigned to the Human Division of the Hunter's Association.

Every recruit underwent Evol testing before being accepted into the Association. Your score landed exactly on the minimum threshold for acceptance: 250. While most recruits with stronger Evol abilities were assigned to Wanderer extermination and field combat, you were transferred to the Human Division, where the enemies were often far more unpredictable than monsters.

Recently, your department received intelligence that a criminal group from N109 Zone was planning to smuggle something into Linkon City. The exact nature of the operation remained unknown.

N109 was notoriously difficult to infiltrate. The lawless district was a maze of black markets, criminal syndicates, illegal research facilities, and hidden allegiances. Even the Hunter's Association possessed little reliable information about what happened inside its borders.

Your mission was simple on paper: go undercover, identify the group behind the operation, and uncover their objective before they could act.

That objective brought you to The Nest.

The underground establishment pulsed with life beneath Linkon City's polished surface. Music echoed through dimly lit halls. Smugglers negotiated deals in shadowed booths. Mercenaries drank beside information brokers. Wealthy thrill-seekers mingled with criminals, each pretending not to notice the illegal business unfolding around them.

Seated at the bar, you quietly surveyed the crowd. Somewhere in this sea of strangers was your first lead—someone with access to N109.

Around you, conversations overlapped. A group of smugglers argued over a shipment. A nervous courier kept glancing toward the exit. A heavily armed woman sat alone in a corner booth. Nearby, a bartender exchanged coded phrases with several patrons.

Every face was a potential lead.

And every lead could be a trap.

What do you do?
