The Hope Lab

TRIGGER WARNINGS

• Militarization of the Police → literalized through armored AI-driven cops.
• Techno-Emotional Warfare → using empathy as a weapon, or as a liberatory virus.

FAST RUN> RULES-LIGHT

The runners are hired to deliver a prototype by the Hope Lab. The sell? A device that boosts empathy—designed to short-circuit brutality in the police force and spark mass resignations. But the tech isn’t what it seems.

Inspired by and rooted in revolutionary movements, you may have a chance to ally yourself with the Bois Club (pronounced bwa):  Once, they carried the fire of freedom and revolution but that was before the betrayals. Before the power grabs.  Now, the Bois Club operates in the Edge District like warlords. 

Their roots trace back to the uprising that once echoed the Haitian Revolution: freedom, equality, and the right to self-govern. But time and violence warped those ideals.
