164: Molly 8

ENTRY 164: Molly 8

Even Firewall makes mistakes. Molly 8 was trained as an asset, one more orphan of the Fall that nobody would miss if things went wrong, but with skills and dedication to the cause. She volunteered for the Experimental Psi-Implant program. Nothing was ever quite clear to her after that.

Molly 8’s escape from Firewall containment was messy. Her mental state since then has continued to degrade, though she remains generally functional in society. Instincts or the remainder of her training convince her to change her face and name frequently, to seek out the edges or lowest levels of society, and to generally keep on the move. She no longer remembers who exactly is looking for her, but she knows it has something to do with her powers.

Experimental Psi-Implant

The experimental psi-implant administers is a combination of dozens of drug glands tied to specialized medical sensors and a computerized controlled center. It releases controlled doses of various psi drugs into Molly’s system, either on a preset schedule or on command. At any given time Molly 8 has 3 different doses of Psi-Opener running through her system, giving her access to 2 Psi-Chi and 1 Psi-Gamma sleight (determined by the gamemaster); Molly can also voluntarily activate a dose of Psike-Out once every hour. A command override signal to the implant will cause it to release a dose of Inhibitor once every six hours. It was hoped that the continued circulation of psi-drugs would enable Molly 8 to develop Psi skills, but instead the continual mental stress and her constantly changing brain chemistry have left her almost insane.

Seed

• Molly 8 was a failure. Molly 9 was a success—but she went rogue. Molly 9 is smart enough to time her psi-drug intake, and knows exactly when she’ll have what sleights available to her, and is working to upgrade herself even further, by stealing a tech device that might grant her access to exsurgent-only psi sleights. Firewall wants Molly 9 brought down, but she has already defeated three teams. As far as Firewall can see, the only hope is to recruit Molly 8 to help hunt down her “sister”; maybe then the player characters will have a chance.
