CHOW’S REQUEST PART III
WELCOME!
This mission, suitable for 3rd-level characters,
follows on directly from the ‘Chow’s Request’
mission found in the Carbon 2185 Core Rule-
book.
Although it is not necessary for the players to
have played it. If they have not, the motiva-
tions listed at the beginning of that mission can
equally hold true for ‘The Death of Donny Zhao’.
After all, few cyberpunks need much of a reason
to accept a high-paying job from David Wong,
Dragon Head of the 16K Triads.
I encourage competition, but both gangs are
under the aegis of the 16K Triads, and there
are rules they must follow. In attempting to
kill Jackie Chow, Donny Zhao has violated
those rules. If such infractions were to go
unpunished, we would have anarchy within my
organization. Therefore, I have decreed that
Donny Zhao must die.’
‘I will not sully my hands with the blood of my
own so I must employ outsiders for this task.
Nor can I offer you any help from the 16K
Triads. My hand must be perceived as invisible
as well as inevitable. Aside from this, and the
fact that Zhao’s death must be
confirmed, you have free rein to execute this
task as you see fit.’
‘The job pays 600 000
. This payment
comes with the promise of future employment
within the 16K Triad and my personal endorse-
ment. These are boons that most in this city
would kill for.
I give you the opportunity to do exactly that.’
As well as the monetary rewards, each
cyberpunk involved in Zhao’s assassination gains
4 Street Influence.
The cyberpunks don’t have time to rest and must
act quickly to locate, then kill, Donny Zhao.
Wong will supply them each with a nanopack and
10 10mm bullets, but nothing else.
Wong, or any suitable contact, can inform them
that the Wan Chai run a go-go joint called the
Muffin Top Club as a front. A cyberpunk with
connections to the triads will be aware of this
fact, too.
This is the best place to start looking for Zhao.
The cyberpunks can also engage in a
set piece
to find out the word on the street about Zhao
and the Wan Chai Warriors. After three failures,
they fail to uncover further information. After
four successes, they learn the following:
The Wan Chai Warriors also run the

THE DEATH OF DONNY ZHAO
The Death of Donny Zhao begins with the
cyberpunks encountering the powerful and
influential David Wong, who makes them an
offer they can’t refuse.
Read the following text to start this adventure.
“David Wong is a distinguished, humorless
gentleman in his sixties, wearing an impec-
cable black suit and tie and sporting stylish
and simple augmentations. He emerges from
a sleek black limousine flanked by a pair of
similarly besuited enforcers. A small fleet of
black-clad bikers come to a halt around the
car, forming a well-armed cordon around their
leader.
‘My name is David Wong, and I am honored to
serve as the Dragon Head of the 16K Triad. I
have a proposition for such uniquely talented
individuals as yourselves. Please, step into my
vehicle. I think you will be most interested in
what I have to say.’
The interior of the limousine is as plush as a
high-end hotel suite, with a minibar and sev-
eral holo projectors, currently dark. There is
enough room for the whole crew, plus Wong
and his two bodyguards.
‘Donny Zhao serves as the Red Pole of the
Wan Chai Warriors. He has been engaged in a
rivalry with the Washington Street Boys and
their Red Pole, Jackie Chow. Normally -

restaurant
in District 3. It is a front with an illicit
casino on the lower floor. Donny Zhao has been
known to hang out there.
Zhao has a pair of lieutenants.
Maggie Yu
is the
smarter one and handles the gang’s finances.
She was injured in a shootout with the SFPD a
day or two ago and is
recuperating at the Muffin Top Club.
Woozy Fu
is Zhao’s top enforcer.
Zhao isn’t content with being a Red Pole. He has
been open among the Wan Chai Warriors about
his
intention to one day have a ‘seat at the table’
with the triads’ leadership.
Word on the street is that David Wong isn’t
happy with Zhao’s conduct. Zhao knows this and
isn’t going to make himself easy to punish.
SKILL CHECKS
INTIMIDATE (DC12).
You shake down some
likely characters in a couple of dive bars. You find
some street rats from gangs affiliated with the
16K Triads, who tell you what they know.
PERSUASION (DC14).
You explain to the boss of a triad chop shop that
it would be better for everyone if the triad’s
rules were maintained. She can give you a few
tidbits about the word on the San Francisco
streets.
HACKING (DC 14).
You trawl some darknet forums for Wan Chai
Warriors activity. They’re not skilled at covering
their data tracks and you find a few undeleted
posts that have relevant information.
STREETWISE (DC 12).
You know the hangouts of the kind of people
who might know something useful. A couple of
minor bribes later and you have a better idea of
the situation on the streets.
DECEPTION (DC 12).
You talk your way through an SFPD switchboard
and get through to an officer on the gang intel-
ligence unit. You get some useful information on
the Wan Chai Warriors before he realizes you’re
not who you say you are.

CHOW’S REQUEST PART III
THE MUFFIN TOP CLUB
1. THE BAR
“The Muffin Top Club is an establishment in
District 4 with a neon sign depicting a top-
less dancing girl with two cupcakes over her
breasts.
Inside, the club is a dingy place with the gloom
broken by flickering pink neon. A stage runs
down the center of the room, ending in a
steel pole. Opposite the stage is the bar, with
a cybered-up Chinese bartender carefully
watching the comings and goings. Four other
customers are lounging in the seats by the
stage, talking and joking. A doorway behind
the bar leads to a set of stairs leading to a
basement level.
Bassy, throbbing music issues from speakers
beside the stage. A slender young man with
dyed silver hair emerges from between the
curtains, wearing nothing but a white thong.
The customers cheer as he begins to gyrate
around the pole.”
The four customers are Wan Chai Warrior
gang-
sters
and the bartender is a
gang lieutenant
named Leung. The dancer, named Henry Yung
(stage name is Chastity), runs as soon as a fight
breaks out.
The Wan Chai Warriors watching Chastity’s
show are quick to notice the cyberpunks if they
approach the bar or the stage and recognise
them from the apartment block in Part I.
“One of the customers notices you and
proclaims ‘These are the pok gai that I saw
head into the apartment the other day!’ while
scrambling drunkenly for his pistol.”
XP.
Once Leung and the Wan Chai Warriors in the
club are dealt with, split 900XP between the
crew.
2. DOWNSTAIRS
Down the stairs is a basement room with a table
covered in blood-spattered plastic sheeting.
On the table lies a woman in her thirties wearing
a bloodstained business suit.
She has jet black hair with a white streak. She is
hooked up to an IV stand and a medical monitor.
This woman is Maggie Yu, one of Zhao’s under-
lings. She was shot during an SFPD shootout a
day and a half ago.
A backstreet doctor has performed a hack job
on her and though she is conscious, she is not
mobile and is incapable of defending herself. A
Medicine check (DC 10) identifies a severe pen-
etrative abdominal gunshot wound. Making her
well enough to move requires another Medicine
check (DC16) and proper medical equipment.
Maggie offers the cyberpunks whatever infor-
mation they ask for if they agree not to hurt her.
She tries to bargain her way up to getting medi-
cal help. Maggie is aware that Donny Zhao hangs
around the Guang Du restaurant, but that he is
unlikely to be there now since he knows David
Wong wants him dead.
Zhao is trying to leave the city, though he has
not entrusted Yu with how he intends to achieve
this. Maggie does know that Zhao used to say if
the 16K ever turned on him he would go to his
childhood home where he has a stash of emer-
gency money and weapons. Yu doesn’t know
where this ‘childhood home’ is, although she’s
sure it’s in the city.
