Shadowrun Missions: 2081-12: The Red Pill

Where the Lies End, the Test Begins

The shadows of Seattle stretch high into the sky—and deep into the past. When a pair of Johnsons tap the team to trace the source of a dangerous new narcotic, the trail leads straight into the ACHE: the towering husk of the old Renraku arcology, now a vertical warren of desperation, gang turf, and forgotten tech.

The runners must find a way inside—whether by stealth, subterfuge, or sheer force—and navigate a maze of hostile factions and crumbling infrastructure. Somewhere within, a Renraku pharmaforge is churning out the drug. But the deeper they go, the more the mission starts to feel like a test.

Because it is.

The job is a setup. The Johnsons are watching. And if the runners can survive the traps, the gangs, and the truth, they might just earn more than a paycheck.

It’s a trial by fire in the heart of the ACHE. And in the Sixth World, the only way out is through.

SRM 2081-12 The Red Pill is for use with Shadowrun, Sixth World.
