This Storyline has the following additional prerequisites:
- anyone who sells Cyberdecks
- OR anyone with the Quantum Obsession trait
The following jobs may be part of this Storyline:
- Buttoned-up Havoc (Solo hack to spike CPU and insert ransomware)
- Encryption Trick (Solo "hack 3 files" mission)
- Blade Between Bills (Two stage mission: traverse a level, then spike Q-gapped CPU)
- new service Jupiter Decks
This storyline requires a Power Play by a Contact with one of the following:
- anyone who sells Cyberdecks
- anyone with the Quantum Obsession trait
This power play may start when a netwraith contact is on a power play. There may be other contact classes or contact traits which allow this also. The dialog starts with "I need your help to raise the star of my corrupt Jupiter Group employee, La Lupa."
The initial dialog tells you that three separate missions will be required on a tight schedule. All three require a matrix runner (hacker / wireghost); make sure they do not get injured while the story line is active. The missions don't appear to be more difficult than other missions at your current power level. The goal is to create panic at Jupiter Group, so that La Lupa can sweep in and be a hero. Then her higher rank will allow her to send high level cyber decks to your contact.
The first mission "Buttoned-up Havoc" is a solo CPU spike to lock down their system with ransomware. The second mission immediately appears with a 24 hour deadline. The second mission, "Encryption Trick" is a "hack 3 files" mission. As usual, the mission will succeed even if you only obtain one of the files. (There are other missions with the special condition that all three must be obtained.)
After this, the third mission is offered, "Blade Between Bills". This is a two stage mission, a Q-Gap mission preceded by another normal level to traverse. The deadline is also 24 hours from the end of Encryption Trick".
Once you complete the third mission, the contact will have access to Jupiter cyberdecks, which are expensive, high level, epic decks. Currently (September 2025) these are the only decks available above level 6. See the cyberdeck reference page for details.
