>>>>>By now I'm sure you've noticed the very different standards between downtown core / human cultural zone and outlying areas.  As you might expect, the I-marine presence in SF has resulted in significantly increased cost of good forged credentials.  Sure, you can get lower quality stuff rather cheap but a forged identity that will stand up to scrutiny will cost you a lot more...

Human cultural zone day pass: 20¥
Human cultural zone day pass (metahuman): 200¥
SIN with human cultural zone residential pass: 5000¥
SIN with human cultural zone residential pass (metahuman): 6500¥
Human cultural zone weapons permit: 650¥
Human cultural zone weapons permit (metahuman): 1200¥

Burner quality CalFree SIN: 250¥
Quality CalFree SIN: 1000¥
Superior quality CalFree SIN: 2000¥
CFS weapons permit (excluding human cultural zone): 50¥

Better not to get caught in a patrol shakedown at all, but if you find yourself in need, happy forging chummers<<<<<

In terms of quality, some in game tags that might be thrown around:
Random: none of age, nationality, metatype or sex match your actual appearance.
Burner: metatype and sex match but the other vital stats are off.
These are good enough to spoof random visual spot checks and single verification automated systems like vending machines.

Good Match: all vital statistics match with your actual appearance, but biometric data contains errors
These will work when spoofing some public or corporate services like registering vehicles or booking hotels

Plausible: all vital statistics match with your actual appearance, and biometric data is accurate
Only the most sophisticated police, corporate or government checks will pick up the errors.  Good enough for banking and commercial air travel

True: the real deal, issued by a legitimate authority with detailed biometrics and links to major databases.
These only break down when they've been 'off the grid' for an extended period of time or d-coded (deceased), otherwise, these work to spoof all major queries

>>>>>Hey choombas, you heard this rumour that's doing the rounds about Knight Errant and some Imperial Army Super Soldiers? Apparently the Imperial Army sent some of their ultra secret vat grown replicants to take control of the port facilities that were under a security contract with Knight Errant. There was a stand off that got resolved politically by some suits but when the Knights withdrew one of the Imperial Army Super Soldiers was missing, his tech offline and his aura impossible to find in the Astral. My source says that the Imperial Army accused Knight Errant of kidnapping him but Knight Errant deny this and maintain that one of them must have gone rogue. Who knows what's true but there certainly seems to be a heavily enhanced soldier out there somewhere, either in a lab being dissected or trying to stay hidden.<<<<<

>>>>>Hey choombas, you heard that latest news report from some Prol called Brad at Action 104 News about Gang Violence up in Oakland? The DisOrder street gang taking a beating from another gang around the Children's Fairyland Amusement Park area. Three dead, one an Innocent Bystander as Brad stressed, and the StreetDocs reporting numerous other injuries.

Well what Action 104 News didn't tell you is who the other gang was, kicking hell out of DisOrder. According to a Knight Errant report I've seen it was a Chapter of the Silver Spiders, looking to get a foothold in the SoCal area. Those Silver Spiders are bad news choombas, even for a street gang. I came off worse against them a couple of years back in NYC. Big enough already to be a franchise set up that's spreading round the continent and with organised crime connections supposedly backing them. But most of all because they're racist in the 20th century meaning of the word. There are other human only gangs who hate Metahumans but there aren't many who also hate non whites and proudly display it, shaving their heads and tattooing silver spider's webs on their skulls, each little spider in the web marking someone they've geeked. Their rep proceeds them and their markings make their allegiance clear.

They look like they mean trouble and they are trouble so why isn't it being reported that they're making a move into SoCal? Are the rumours true that the Silver Spiders are connected to the Russian Mafia and that the Russian Mafia are connected to Knight Errant. Who knows but Brad at Action 104 News should have mentioned it in his report and its omission means something. Action 104 News is a subsidiary of MCT so it implies that MCT are suppressing the information for Knight Errant. Why would they do that? It smacks of a conspiracy to me!

Or am I just barking at the moon again! Hooowwwwllll!<<<<<

They are kind of your slav nerds that never would have made it as muscle or gun slingers. Now they specialize in all the weird drek the Jap suits get up to on their days off. Very weird, very specific requests are their thing. Like if you actually want to buy a submarine or something, those kids can get it to you. Going to cost you though. <<<<< -posted by KAZoo

It was only a matter of time before the money dried up and Berkeley had to shutter its doors. The university just couldn’t stay competitive in the new world order where education had become synonymous with corporate training programs. Admissions had dropped to a trickle and the University just couldn’t pay the bills. But nature abhors a vacuum and the people of the BayPlex have proven that they won’t all cowtow to corporate and government masters. A small, motivated crowd of free thinkers just took up residence in the old campus, set up a democratically elected academic board and started running courses. It’s all volunteer based, there is no real academic oversight but that’s not important to the PU crowd. The ideas, the education, the knowledge are far more important than an impressively framed price of paper.<<<<<
