>>> BOOTLEG SURVIVAL FILE // ORIGIN UNKNOWN <<<
Recovered from a corrupted runner’s cranial cache.
If you’re reading this, you’re already in too deep.

• You start each cycle with 5 Netruns. Spend them like blood.
• Brock the Ripperdoc can patch you up or recharge your runs—nothing’s free unless you’re broke and pathetic.
• Lōthy and NeonLisa haunt the NeoN Bar. Talk to them. They bend the Grid in strange ways.
• The NetGrid is where you earn XP, NΞN, scars, and reputation. Some ICE will fold fast. Some will erase you.
• aVavra.EXE deals in augments, rare payloads, and tech that probably violates three global treaties.
• CypherBank will keep your NΞN safe… safer than your pockets, anyway.
• If you flatline, you lose unbanked NΞN and any remaining Netruns. The Grid remembers your mistakes.
• Brock grants one mercy-heal per cycle, but only if you're too broke to pay.
• This system rewards daily dives. 20 minutes is enough to live—or to die creatively.
• Some ICE is built to kill you. Run when you must. Pride is a luxury organics can’t afford.
• You can be attacked while offline. That's the world now. Hunt back or get forgotten.
