THE REALITY OF SEA TRAVEL
POSTED BY: SOUNDER
While large quantities of cargo and people travel around the
world by using air or more exotic methods of travel, the majority of
goods today travel the same way they did a century ago: over water.
is provides a number of challenges and opportunities to those who
engage in less-than-legal means to earn their living.
e nature of the
ocean itself is the
rst challenge that a traveler must take into account.
e second is the monitoring by the corporations and nations of the
world, who take a dim view of those who travel the ocean without
paying some form of tribute.
e role of cargo transport has evolved over the last century as
nano-manufacturing has gained prominence and submarines have
replaced or supplemented ships on several routes.
ose organizations
that prefer to utilize conventional manufacturing, such as the Big Ten,
transport their products across the world.
e decline of national
militaries made a number of large nuclear submarines super
uous to
those nations’ interests, and responsible corporate purchasers were
waiting in the wings to snatch them up.
is initial source of cheap
hulls and reactors was exhausted decades ago, but the pro
tability of
vessels that can maintain a constant speed without having to divert
around large weather systems pushed the corporations to create ships
that performed the same function.
With plenty of wealth still
oating on the waters, there are many
reasons for us to be out there, too. I’ve put together this list of some
of the cra
you might encounter and/or use when you venture out
into the blue, with a focus on the less-than-current stu
. You want
bleeding-edge, go buy a catalog. You want what people are actually
using, read on.
BLEEDING EDGE TO OBSOLETE
The Sixth World contains many different levels of technology—bleeding-
edge, obsolete and everything in between. The upgrade listed below is intended
to simulate the challenges of utilizing older technology in
Shadowrun
.
VEHICLE TRAIT (UPGRADE):
Obsolescent: The vehicle uses an older generation of software, hard-
ware, or a combination of the two, resulting in less-sophisticated computing
capabilities. The vehicle’s device rating (p. 222,
SR4A
) is one less than what a
comparable modern device’s rating would be (to a minimum of 1); e.g., a drone
with the obsolescent trait would have a rating of 2 rather than 3.
Sail Power: The vessel is equipped with a sail, meaning the wind is
either the primary source of propulsion or is a secondary method to reduce
fuel consumption. A vessel equipped with sails improves its operation time by
fi fty percent. Slots: 2; Threshold: 16; Tools: Facility; Cost: Body x 500¥; Avail: 6.

SUZUKI WATERSPORT
e Watersport has been a staple of wageslave leisure for nearly
thirty years.
e pedestrian performance of the Watersport ensures
that insurance is a
ordable for most owners, while the healthy used
market keeps it within reach of most sararimen that desire one.
e coastal regions of the Puget Sound are regularly swarmed with
Watersports on the
rst warm, clear day the region sees a
er the
dreary winters.

These little wonders are a blast to go and play with. I really don’t see the need
for them on a job, but they are a great way to enjoy some waves on a warm
beach somewhere.

I have heard of a rather brazen team using a couple of these for an extraction.
They grabbed the target, loaded him on one of these, and darted off to a
rendezvous with a submarine further offshore. Unfortunately for them, the
client decided they were no longer needed once the delivery was made. The
sharks ate well.

Well, I have been known to kill and tell. Mostly, I like to tell, but only after I have
profi ted from the transaction. The killing can be both fun
and
practical—most
runners are too boisterous to be sold into slavery.

SUZUKI WATERSPORT
GMC WAVE CUTTER
e latest cra
for family watersport from GMC, the Wave Cutter
is an enlarged wave runner intended to carry two adult passengers.
e
Wave Cutter features improved performance compared to several of
its competitors, and service through manufacturer-approved outlets
is also better than the competition.
e Wave Cutter features an
advanced autopilot program that has a passenger-retrieval routine and
other safety protocols to ensure the watercra
is drivable by younger
members of the family.
>
The autopilot is ripped off from a delivery-drone program. It works great if
the unexpected occurrence is already in the database, but not so good if it is
completely unexpected.
>
Clockwork
>
There was one runner who got caught after failing to disable a Wave Cutter’s
[return home] feature. She got herself knocked out, and the vehicle brought her
back to the dock she stole it from. Lone Star sold the story to “World’s Dumbest
Terrorists” for a nice sum.

I saw one of these used for an extraction in the Philippines last year. The
target was stunned, then strapped to the Wave Cutter. The benefi t is that even
if the pilot is taken out, the vehicle will carry the unconscious passenger to
the rendezvous point. A trid of the grab was used to promote tourist security
services around the Rim last month.

One point of clarifi cation: That wasn’t an extraction. It was a kidnapping for
ransom. It didn’t work, though, as the family decided to pay for someone to
retrieve the victim instead of forking over the ransom. It was nice to be a good
guy for once.
