Down and Out

Down and Out is a mission in Shadowrun Returns.

Synopsis
Your apartment, three o'clock in the morning. It's got four walls, a roof and isn't on fire. Even the cockroaches have fled in search of better accommodations. Not exactly a Runner's dream pad... but right now, it's about all your have left.

Running the shadows is all about feast or famine. One day you're novahot, working jobs that allow you to eat at five star restaurants, the next, well, you're here. This one's a famine for the ages. Slagging fixer hasn't called. The money's run out, and then some. SINless and free. Free to starve in the cracks of a society run by megacorps who just want your nuyen.

Something needs to change, and soon.

Walkthrough

 * You begin the game in your rather dilapidated little apartment. Feel free to check out the computer and the paper lying on the table for flavor, then flip through the notebook on the table.
 * You will soon receive a message on the vidphone. Click on it to proceed.
 * After listening to what Sam has to say, flashback to the Seattle Docks and what serves as the games combat tutorial.

Seattle Docks

 * Before initiating any conversation you might want to head north a bit and loot the container. It contains a med kit that could be useful.
 * Talk to Sangoma if you want, though not much is said. Then when your ready, speak to New Larry who stands to the right.
 * Welcome to the turn based combat tutorial. As you can see you have been betrayed and its time for a fight.
 * Move to cover as the enemies approach and take them down one at a time. Move as needed to maintain cover as enemies begin to come from multiple directions.
 * There will be seven opponents altogether in a couple of waves; first approaching from the west, then the east and then finally the north west.
 * Don't forget the medkits and grenades in your inventory, as well as the healing totem the shaman has.

Back to the Apartment

 * Just a quick jaunt back to the apartment here to finish a conversation and then its off to Seattle for the next mission The Dead Man's Switch.
