Violent beats at the Desdemona

Lights go off, and the crowd goes quiet. 

Silence reigns for a moment. A low-frequency heartbeat makes the floor vibrate. Seconds later, another heartbeat, and then another, progressively accelerating until a high-pitched record scratch combined with a blinding explosion makes the anticipating crowd go wild. 

A DJ, hair styled in a silver bob, stands on stage and smiles, nodding her head to the beat of the music.

Superstar DJ KPPRO has been kidnapped by a corpo kingpin who wants her for a private show. Label Nightmare Records, for whom the DJ works exclusively, knows that the show is happening at the Desdemona space station, a luxurious space resort orbiting Earth, owned by the kingpin. There’s no time to waste, the runners must access the Desdemona, where the rare-earth industry corpo elite were invited. Once inside the Desdemona, runners will find out hell is about to break loose. 

The record label wants the runners to get DJ KPPRO alive and, in exchange, offer an obscene sum of money that will allow for a lavish retirement. 

DJ KPPRO holds complete control of her audience’s emotions with her beats. Wouldn’t any corporation want her under their control? Art by Dani Jimbert.
