D10: Night City Rumours – Lake Park

10 Hooks and Rumours for Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0.’s Night City

Cyberpunk CityThis list has ten hooks and rumours that can be heard in or about the Lake Park district of Night City. Whether or not they are true is up to the GameMaster. They can be used as background colour or as potential adventure hooks.

  1. Combat Cabb in the Lake Park district of Night City has some of the most heavily-armed and armoured cabs in the city, and aim to get their customers to their destinations, no matter who needs shooting on the way. Recently, there have been a number of targeted attacks on cabs belonging to the company, with the attackers seeming to be after the cabbie and their cab, not the customer.
  2. Juvegangers make out on Isadore Island in Lake Park during the day, but there are rumours that a few of them have been disappearing. Normally the park is a safe place to visit in daylight, so the idea that someone is still preying on people, even juvegangers, during the day is a concern.
  3. Lake Park might be a safe and pleasant place to visit during the day, but at night it’s a different story. Various citizens who use the park are pressing the city to try and take it back from those who prey in the park at night, but with little sign of intere4st from City Hall. However, if the city government isn’t willing to do anything about making the park safer at night, it’s rumoured that these same people are.
  4. Night City Fire Station #2 has problems getting its old-fashioned tanker trucks to a building fire before said building burns down, due to traffic in the area. There are rumours of some arsonists using this to their advantage, and in fact helping cause more traffic problems to ensure that the fire department can’t get there in time.
  5. Rumour has it that some of the custodians that help keep Lake Park clean during the day don’t do just that. It’s said that some of them are using the fact that there’s all this land available with plants growing on it to grow a few of their own plants, which can then be sold onto the visitors to the park during the day.
  6. The headquarters of the Night City Transit Corporation is in Lake Park, and has been suffering problems recently. Though the security of the building is high, they’ve been suffering from well-planned and technically advanced graffiti attacks. Going by what’s being written on and around the building, someone clearly has an issue with the fares.
  7. The homeless of Lake Park are usually safe from being preyed on by gangs, as the local gangs will even protect the largest group of homeless, known as the Pack, from the predations of other gangs. Recently, though, there have been rumours that some of the Pack have been disappearing, though gangs are not necessarily thought to be responsible.
  8. The lake in Lake Park has a filtration system that sometimes breaks down, leading to the place smelling like raw sewage that day and being deserted because of this. There are rumours that following such days, bodies are often found in the water, dumped by people using the smell and absence of others as a way of avoiding attention.
  9. The picnic grounds in Lake Park have gas-powered grills at different points on the island, though the gas is turned off at night. Reportedly, though, despite this there have been a number of “incidents” – explosions – on some nights due to people tampering with the gas lines in an attempt to get the gas back on., Reportedly, the city is considering removing the gas lines entirely as a result.
