10 Hooks and Rumours for Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0.’s Europe
This list has ten hooks and rumours that can be heard about Spain. Whether or not they are true is up to the GameMaster. They can be used as background colour or as potential adventure hooks.
Africans and especially Arabs in Madrid always run the risk of harassment, especially from radical nationalists. It’s rumoured that some of these nationalists have taken to kidnapping such; not for random, just simply to kill them and share the killings with similarly-minded people.
Barcelona, the original one, was partially sunk which led to inhabitants leaving the city. It’s rumoured that the partial sinking led to many things of value being abandoned, such as artworks dating back centuries or more, and that some of these are still hidden in protected vaults.
ESA is not the only player in Tenerife, but it’s the main one, and it’s rumoured that the organisation has been trying to get the mass driver site and city completely brought into its bailiwick, something that the other organisations, and especially the Spanish government, are not keen on.
Most monuments in Madrid are free from graffiti, thanks to strong nationalistic sentiments leading to any caught attempting to disfigure them being thrown into the mostly dry and polluted Manzanares River. Recently, there have been a few bodies found in the river, and though most assume this is people being punished for graffiti, others think that is being used as a cover to kill people for other reasons.
New Barcelona grew from the refugees from the old city, and is a centre of strong Catalanist pride. It’s rumoured that Catalan sentiment is high enough in the city that some believe it should be leveraged to make Catalan independent from the rest of Spain.
Orbital Air is supposedly attacking the mass driver being built on Tenerife, presumably not wanting competition to literally get off the ground. Though most of these attacks are from the net, it’s rumoured that the company has managed to get its hands on some serious explosive ordnance that they plan to use to destroy the site.
Saragossa is a growing industrial centre in Spain, and it’s rumoured that this growth is being accompanied by corporate interest and the ensuing corporate violence that can follow the smell of money. It’s said that a number of companies are battling out to see who becomes top in the city.
Seville may be one of the major Spanish cities, but it’s also poorer than the others. The brigands’ control of the Sierra Morena often results in the city’s airport being shut down and it being isolated for days, and it’s rumoured that the city government is finally trying to do something about this, though this something may not be wiping out the brigands but rather coopting them into the government.
The new city of Tenerife was built especially for the mass driver and various law enforcement agencies have a strong presence there. It’s rumoured that the hidden law enforcement presence is significantly greater than the visible one, given the potential future importance of the place.
Ultranationalist football fans in Spain have been causing problems in some of the country’s cities, and even in those of other countries, when a local team is playing against a foreign one in another country. The hooligans are using the games as an excuse to promote their nationalistic agendas, usually through violence against the opposing fans.

Characters will encounter plants and some of these plants may be somewhat odd. Here are ten odd plants to stumble across.
Crawling along the ground in a fashion similar to a slug, albeit a large one, is a plant.
Flowers that, when the wind catches them, make a sound that is very similar to that of a person, crying in pain.
Fruit growing on plants have what look like faces growing on them.
insects are avoiding this species of plant completely, making a wide berth around it.
Plant that has the ability to mimic anything that is said or any sound in its vicinity.
Plan that is clearly a chimera, formed from multiple different species of plant.
Plant that is covered in a hard shell, like that of a snail only tougher, and it keeps most of its body inside the shell.
Plant that is in two parts, one on the ground and the other, which has a methane-filled balloon, floating above it on a vine tether which the plant can raise or lower as required.
Plants that don’t look to be entirely present in reality, and which prove impossible to touch.
Trees that look like nothing so much as people who have been planted in the ground; human-sized with a split trunk, two main branches and what looks like a head with a screaming face.
