You didn’t hear rain on Luna, not unless something had gone very wrong. Or Vic was in one of its moods.
This night it was the latter, and Finn wasn’t sure he got the less dangerous option of the two.
Vic, the V.I.P.I., was the very image of a sensie gumshoe. The long coat, the hat, the holster. The rain. Only an image, though.
Vic was completely translucent, projected from a hacked emergency light, a co-opted holo-billboard down the street, and Finn’s own PAD. It didn’t make Finn feel any less like the rain splattering down on just the V.I.P.I. wasn’t splashing onto him, too.
“So you called in your favor. What do you need from me, detective?”
“Two things. First, open this door.”
Vic tilted its head to indicate the warehouse, rain sluicing off its fedora into nothing as it strayed to the edge of the projection.
Maybe this’ll be an easy one, thought Finn.
“And what’s the second thing?” he asked, as the door swung wide.
“Duck.”
Finn hit the deck just before the shooting started. From inside the warehouse came a storm of bullets, and into the thunder of gunfire and muzzle flashes lightening the room strode Vic, revolver in hand, impervious to all but the rain.
Note: Vantage Point is not a self-contained game. A copy of System Gateway is required to play.
Vantage Point is our first standalone rotating set, and is not a part of a larger cycle. It was designed from the ground up to fill in some of the gaps left by the large rotation that accompanied the release of Elevation, injecting both variety and powerful effects back into the card pool. It features four new identity cards (for the Shaper, Criminal, NBN, and Jinteki factions), and support cards for returning mechanics such as stealth and bad publicity.
Vantage Point explores several of the locales featured in our previous sets, and checks in on some familiar characters from them. Most prominently, we revisit the Lunar surface and marvel at the starlit domes of the hitherto-unexplored city of Méliès, while deep beneath them Corps hide some of their deepest secrets.
