  “This isn’t a run, this is a high school prank,” mumbles Howler from the bushes thirty meters to the left and twelve meters up 
  from the green of hole six of Dante’s Golf Course. 
  “Trust me, this is our best option,” says a voice over his commlink. “It’s so subtle, no one will even blink an eye.”
  Howler adjusts his position in the landscaping, finding another uncomfortable golf ball. “He’s late.”
  “He may be late, but he’s consistent. You’ve seen him play; he’s probably down in the fourth hole’s sand trap.”
  “And how is this different than directly hacking in?” Howler grumbles again, swatting away some flying insect, “My memory 
  is kinda fuzzy on how you talked me into this.”
  “If it weren’t for your brother-in-law, I would have partnered up with a less whiny decker.”
  CRACK
  A golf ball whizzes centimeters over Howler’s head—interrupting his complaint—and impacts the cliff wall. The foliage slows 
  it down enough to be lost in the bushes’ roots with its other lost brethren. Howler gets to work with his deck, hacking the golf 
  ball’s RFID and copying it to a new ball. 
  A rotodrone caddy is coming up fast to his position to hit the ball. Howler has to act quickly to avoid the drone’s approach. 
  “Careful not to touch the ball, Howler.”
  “Trying to concentrate here.” Howler mutes his commlink and opens the wooden case with an identical golf ball. There are 
  imperceptible markings on it as he was told, so he tips the case and dumps the ball into the grass before hiding further into 
  bushes. Then he works on the next step of hacking the drone caddy.
  The rotodrone recognizes the new ball as the one that was hit. It extends out a club appendage as commanded by the 
  golfer below.
  Howler doesn’t want the ball to be hit, lest it get damaged, so he spoofs the roto caddy to tell the golfer that it’s unable to 
  hit the ball and recommends a drop. 
  Howler listens to the burst of verbal abuse from the golfer to the roto caddy. Fearing that the golfer will just get a new ball, he 
  has the roto caddy admit fault to the golfer and provide assurance that there will be no stroke penalty for a retrieval and mulligan. 
  The golfer sounds satisfied and acknowledges the decision. The roto caddy switches its appendage to that of a hand and 
  retrieves the ball.
  The rotodrone flies back to the fairway. Howler crawls out to the edge to see the golfer retrieve the ball from the caddy. The 
  golfer appears to pause for a moment, then looks to his commlink, dropping the ball. He appears to talk to someone. While 
  Howler can’t hear the discussion, he knows it’s a delivery request for flowers.
  Howler gets back on his commlink. “Package has been delivered.”
  “Got it. I’m on my way with the flowers,” is the reply.
  The golfer looks around as if he is disoriented, but then sees the ball at his feet and the 3-iron offered by the roto caddy. He 
  grabs the club and swings at the ball, destroying the markings and landing it two meters from the sixth hole. The golfer is ecstatic 
  as he walks toward his ball.
  “Nice shot,” whispers Howler as he crawls back through the underbrush toward his retrieval point.

  Instead of giving you the whole history of Butte, let me just 
  give you the highlights, starting in 2002. Lots of people have 
  heard of the Resource Rush. But in Butte, these people felt the 
  impact of it. Butte was surviving as a little blue-collar town, 
  but the demand for local materials was high. Over the years, 
  Consolidated Minerals bought up all the existing mineral rights 
  in Silver Bow County. By 2007, the ORO Company in South 
  America had hit it big, maintaining control over the Chilean 
  copper mines and discovering large deposits of molybdenum off 
  Panama. This made ORO dominant in the market; the company 
  could essentially name its price in selling raw materials.
  Consolidated Minerals had to expand in order to stay 
  competitive. While the Berkeley Pit was closed by this time, 
  the Continental Pit remained open and was dug deeper. Open-
  pit mining spread out across the county. Butte’s population 
  almost reached eighty thousand with localized smelting and 
  roasting facilities. This was the area’s highest population since 
  World War II. 
  Trouble with the nearby Kootenai and the Confederated 
  Salish tribe started when surveyors from U.S. Rare Earths 
  found rare earth minerals near Flathead Lake. Consolidated 
  Minerals legally moved them off the reservation to open new 
  mines. Besides the gold, copper, and a few other minerals 
  that Butte was known for, the expansion discovered more 
  minerals to mine such as cadmium, tungsten, thorium, 
  tellurium, and molybdenum. Pandora’s box was going to stay 
  open as Butte’s value to American corporations was realized. 
  Not everyone was happy with the choices Consolidated 
  Minerals was making; protests and strikes broke out in Butte 
  over the relocation of the Kootenai. To keep business going, 
  Consolidated Minerals brought in more “amicable” contractors 
  to continue strip mining across Silver Bow County. The smoke 
  from the smelting facilities continued to color Butte’s skies. 
  This didn’t win many hearts in Butte County. The revitalized 
  Order of Hibernians, normally just involved in community 
  activities, started to organize strikes and protests with the 
  local miners against Consolidated Minerals. There was some 
  progress in negotiating with Consolidated Minerals, as no one 
  wanted a repeat of the Lockout of 1920, but little was actually 
  done to change the business’s ways. 
  Politically, no one wanted to rock the boat. Butte was a city 
  rich with both raw and refined minerals and metals. Now the city 
  was in conflict with itself. Technically, Consolidated Minerals 
  wasn’t doing anything illegal, and the money was more than 
  the town had seen since the original copper mining boom. 
  Legal challenges either fell on deaf ears or were deferred. Miner 
  strikes were short-lived, with Consolidated Minerals offering 
  large incentives for land and lots of employment opportunities.
  The Resource Rush literally undermined the town with large 
  tunnels and chambers. Parts of the town started to look like 
  Swiss cheese, with sink holes and shifting foundations. Finances 
  went into reinforcement of foundations and the development 
  of abandoned mines below the town into various commercial 
  and residential facilities to accommodate the influx of people 
  seeking employment. It was a risky strategy, but in the long 
  run worth the investment.
  With the passage of the Relocation Act in 2009 came a 
  greater distrust towards Consolidated Minerals in Butte. Any 
  remaining Native Americans who didn’t leave their land were 
  forced into re-education camps. Any Native American currently 
  employed by Consolidated Minerals was fired and, if found in 
  Silver Bow County, relocated as well. That was kind of a moot 
  point since most Native Americans were already pissed off 
  that few were employed as miners and that the reservations 
  were pockmarked with mines. But Butte is funny about that 
  sort of thing. They didn’t agree with the Chinese Exclusion Act 
  in the 1880s or the corporate lockout of the 1920s, so they 
  certainly weren’t going to allow anyone to tell them how to 
  treat their northern neighbors. The nearby Kootenai tribal 
  members of Pablo and Silver Bow Counties’ miners had a few 
  disputes with corporate security over what they believed was 
  an “overreach” of the law over the years, but this was the last 
  straw. Butte became a hideout for Native Americans avoiding 
  relocation. A web of tunnels allowed sympathetic miners to 
  move a few hundred members of the local tribes secretly. The 
  Order of Hibernians militarized when Consolidated increased 
  security forces around their assets in Butte. Butte members also 
  stockpiled food and weapons when rumors that government 
  forces were going to help Consolidated Minerals materialized, 
  but bigger events came to pass.
  FACTS AT A GLANCE
  Population: 61,000 as of Jan. 1, 2075
  Human: 80 percent
  Elf: 6 percent
  Dwarf: 2 percent
  Ork: 8 percent
  Troll: 3 percent
  Other: 1 percent
  Per Capita Income: 48,000¥
  Population Below Poverty Level: 12 percent
  Estimated SINless: 2 percent
  Education:
  Less than twelve years: 4 percent
  High school equivalency: 54 percent
  College degrees: 32 percent
  Advanced degrees: 11 percent
  The economy of Butte is based primarily on the price of ores and 
  minerals. Education is higher due to the presence of Montana Tech 
  and Geomancy, and the large number of Technical jobs in the area.

  March of 2010 was a really bad month. VITAS came to Butte. 
  Over five thousand died in the first week. People panicked, many 
  fled. Mining shut down, with some miners going to the extreme 
  of hiding in the mines below the city. With filtered air and bottled 
  water, over two thousand people made themselves at home 
  until the devastation had ended. Until October, an additional 
  five thousand people died, leaving many of the mines and 
  refineries inadequately supported for six months and leading to 
  industrial accidents. A few hundred additional people died from 
  poisoning or accidents around the county. By the time VITAS was 
  managed, Butte’s population had fallen to twenty thousand. A 
  small footnote: For a while, UGE was thought to stem from living 
  underground, as approximately ninety percent of the children 
  born to those survivors were elves. 
  Then you had Great Ghost Dance in 2017, which made 
  governments think twice about picking on the little guy; but 
  there’s also a cost for throwing that much mojo around. I think 
  extreme weather fluctuations exist throughout the entire 
  Sioux Nation. For Butte, add about five degrees in the summer 
  and subtract five degrees in the winter. 
  The Treaty of Denver in 2018 prompted further 
  negotiations with the Sioux. Consolidated Minerals could 
  have pulled out completely, but with corporate competition 
  on the rise and the Sioux having a brain-drain of those 
  “Anglos” who could manage the existing mining industry, 
  there had to be a compromise; otherwise, both parties would 
  financially lose. There was already an argument between the 
  Crow and Kootenai tribes about allowing Butte residents to 
  stay. Kootenai were a minor voice, but money added weight 
  to the elders’ decision.
  Kuroyama Minerals was giving majority of the mining, 
  refining, and smelting facilities, with upstart company 
  Inkan Power learning the ropes and developing their own 
  technologies, and Earth Medicine overseeing all mining 
  throughout the Silver Bow County. Kuroyama Minerals kept 
  the mining green and leased the land it used. Most of Butte 
  became the single largest Anglo reservation in the Sioux 
  Nation to retain the technological knowledge. Kuroyama 
  Minerals kept all the previous employees at the mines, 
  minimizing the need to bring in technical expertise: a win/
  win for Butte and Kuroyama.
  It took a few years of learning parageology, but knowledge 
  of background count, mana lines, reagents, and power sites 
  was gradually incorporated into mining and geological surveys 
  around Silver Bow County. Speaking of which, one of the first 
  orders of business was the pollution around Butte. Exhausted 
  strip mines, chemically treated slag, and garbage dumps had 
  changed the landscape. Earth Medicine had its work cut out 
  for itself. It managed to work out recycling and other green 
  policies, but there was one standing problem: the Berkeley Pit. 
  After being abandoned before the Resource Rush, the pit had 
  become filled with water. Over the years, the water became 
  acidic from perpetually dissolving minerals. Unfortunately for 
  the Awakened in the town of Butte, the Berkeley Pit was also 
  at the interception of mana lines. Such a thing emanated an 
  annoying background count for kilometers. Earth Medicine 
  had an equally hard time as the U.S. Government had trying 
  to clean up the site. Instead, they decided to take the “fuel 
  from the fire” and work along the mountain range, erecting 
  arcane chevals and mana prisms to redirect the mana lines 
  around the more polluted sites to a mana conflux on top of 
  a lone mountain near the golf course. A benefit to this was a 
  power site adapted to the needs of the college. It was a ten-
  year investment, but it reduced the background count to mere 
  tens of meters from the site. 
  Wards around the site have to be renewed yearly, but it’s 
  more manageable than before. Inkan Power uses the Berkeley 
  Pit for power and the extraction of minerals dissolved in the 
  water, and thus there’s been some friction between Earth 
  Medicine and Inkan Power over control of the pit. 
  > 
  Inkan Power is testing to see how far Earth Medicine will bend 
  in what the power company can do with the Berkeley Pit. Inkan 
  Power doesn’t want the pit cleaned up because it’s the acidity that 
  does the work for them.

  Dangerous, though. There are still shafts that lead from within 
  the pit to below Butte. Too much fiddling around could flood the 
  underground with that stuff.

  A side effect of the mana conflux being built is that the quartz 
  outcrop dimly glows with dual-natured light, something that 
  parageologists will be studying for years.
  > 
  Henry Wildshadow
  With the passing of the comet in 2060, the mountain on 
  which the mana conflux was constructed starting sparking, 
  physically shooting pieces of rock up to 200 meters off the 
  mountain. When parageologists recovered the stone, they 
  found it was transformed into orichalcum. This news spurred 
  an orichalcum rush into Silver Bow County. There was an 
  estimated two to three thousand smugglers working old 
  mining sites for the magic mineral, competing with both the 
  locals and existing smugglers who were also mining other 
  ore. It’s unknown how many died in resulting mine collapses.
  In January 2061, there was a minor tremor north of Butte. 
  It was determined to be a 3.8-magnitude quake—nothing to 
  worry about. Some speculated unlicensed demolition was 
  happening in the search for orichalcum, and the Sioux were 
  going to have someone’s head. After a few weeks, rumors 
  spread that Thepila, one of the seven cities of gold, had been 
  uncovered. The explosion was said to have been an avalanche 
  that exposed ruins near Flume Gulch, a city carved into the 
  mountainside. After the quake, the orichalcum rush faded as 
  the orichalcum veins disappeared. 
  > 
  But that’s it. “Oh, there’s one of the mythical cities of gold, move 
  along.” It’s kind of weird that there was no follow-up news, or 
  wildcats blocking off part of Flume Gulch.

  With all the abandoned towns, mines, and smuggler 
  hideouts, it was no surprise that critters started occupying 
  them. Bug spirits have been the most dangerous, occupying 
  older mine shafts. Awakened and mundane animals, such as 
  stonebinders and sabertooths, made some abandoned towns 
  their homes. Only the official mines controlled by Kuroyama 
  Minerals have active onsite and perimeter security. Earth 
  Medicine has drone patrols and occasionally wires drones for 
  abandoned mines to check for hazards, but its budget doesn’t 
  come close to covering the area requiring monitoring. Earth 
  Medicine peppers areas of interest with disposable, remotely 
  accessible sensors, but between the environmental factors and 
  minimizing the trace pollutants from sensors, the efforts don’t 
  last more than two months before an area needs reseeding.

  People working outside city limits should be careful. With the return

  Neither Wildcats nor the conventional military offer much 
  protection, as their security patrols target active smugglers, 
  not some saber-toothed cat roaming around. The only other 
  protection outside of Butte is Druid’s Wolves and you’ll  pay 
  a hefty price for their help. They play both sides of the fence.
  With the historical foundation built, I’ll address the current 
  state of Butte. It’s still around, and its population has grown 
  to sixty thousand. Remember all the investment in the 
  substructure below the town? Nicknamed Butte Below, it slowly 
  integrated itself into the town. About half of the population 
  lives down there, which might seem silly to some, but it beats 
  dealing with Sioux bureaucracy and the various unfriendlies 
  beyond the city limits. For the poorer class, the advancements 
  in geological engineering and architecture make living in Butte 
  Below more comfortable than dealing with extreme weather 
  conditions above ground.

  Butte is on the intersection of Interstates 15 and 90 connect-
  ing the town to the Algonkian-Manitou Council (AMC) and Sal-
  ish-Shidhe Council (SSC). This allows for brisk trade in grey-mar-
  ket items, where Butte’s Anglo reservation legal rights are not 
  exactly the same as the rest of the Sioux Nation. Tobacco and 
  alcohol sales, while legal, are still highly priced due to the de-
  livery expense. Every month, a marketplace near the Cabbage 
  Patch opens up for barter or nuyen. Quality may not be the pri-
  ority, but there’s always a variety of goods to be found. BTLs are 
  the most prolific illegal goods on the market here. 
  Illegal goods, once across the border, can be easily shuttled 
  through kilometers of tunnels or cached in abandoned open 
  pits by t-bird runners throughout Silver Bow County. Both the 
  Cabbage Patch and Butte Below have their own smuggling 
  routes into their neighborhoods. In addition to moonshining, 
  you have some chemists out there making high-octane fuel 
  for the smugglers. Butte has become a hotspot as a fueling 
  station, with riggers traveling the Rockies trade routes as far 
  south as Denver and the PCC. 
  > 
  Some will also roll out old-school Marsden Matting for larger 
  customers to land and refuel. An insane choice, but the reward 
  can be high if you’re quick enough to be gone when the Wildcats 
  arrive. An old troll called Torque has been manufacturing large 
  quantities of go-juice for years up in the mountains.

  Cheyenne Sam
  Smuggling of raw materials is common in this area, with a 
  dozen minerals in demand for small, high-tech manufacturing. 
  The trade of knockoff tech items from commlinks to cybereyes 
  keeps up demand for metals that the corporations have a 
  monopoly on. Green fingers and the smell of garlic are telltale 
  traits of smugglers and miners in Butte. 
  The various organized crime syndicates have taken an 
  interest in Butte as a smuggling hub, though the city’s relatively 
  small size acts as a hindrance. That being said, organized 
  crime funnels money and business through Butte rather than 
  personnel to pressure people into the organization.

  Don’t have a Russian accent. The Vory have been trying to muscle 
  in on the smuggling business in Butte. Being an Anglo caught 
  smuggling is bad enough—add a Russian accent and say goodbye 
  to any thought of just paying a fine.

  THE STREET GAnGS
  It’s a small town; gangs are not like they are in the big city. 
  There are two main gangs in Butte and Silver Bow County: 
  
  LOCAL SHADOw SCEnE

  The Lost, who are in the town, and Druid’s Wolves, who roam 
  outside the city limits. There are occasional skirmishes be-
  tween them along the official city limits, but an all-out turf 
  war has yet to break out.
  THE LOST
  The Lost are composed of a few generations of elves born in 
  Silver Bow County. Their current leader is Jaden Falan. He is 
  a supposed descendant of the Copper King, and his inheri-
  tance allowed him and the Lost to purchase the Copper King 
  Mansion. There are about fifty members in this exclusively elf 
  gang, all of whom reside and hang out in the Mansion. They 
  are more like elven gangsters than a street gang. They all talk 
  and dress in relation to what’s trending in the Tírs. On top of 
  that, the Lost party as if they are trid stars. Jaden and some 
  of the others’ accumulated wealth has been questioned as to 
  its legality, but not openly. Some suggest a connection to Tír 
  Tairngire princes or terrorist organizations, but there’s noth-
  ing that the Lost do that would suggest such ties. They may 
  act immature, but there is some intelligence keeping them 
  one step ahead of law enforcement. The Lost’s criminal ac-
  tivities focus on the financing of smuggled goods and their 
  sale. They work through middlemen in the Cabbage Patch to 
  distance themselves, both for legal purposes and for their su-
  periority complex over the other citizens of Butte. Jaden has 
  a weakness for all things Tír, from Laesal wines to bootleg 
  music, and he will pay top nuyen for many items to be added 
  to the Copper King Mansion. The Lost don’t appreciate out-
  siders moving into Butte without their permission. They are 
  not above using muscle and magic to get their point across.
  The Lost’s goal is to create an elven tribe within the 
  Sioux. This desire stems from the gang’s founding, as some 
  felt cheated out of being citizens of Tír na nÓg, because 
  their ancestors moved to the new world. The book Walking 
  the Light has been quoted by Jaden, suggesting an interest 
  in the Path of the Wheel and traditional magic. Jaden himself 
  is not Awakened as far as anyone knows, but a few of his 
  brethren are.
  DRuID’S wOLVES
  Druid’s Wolves are Crow warriors who have been discharged 
  from the military for one reason or another. David Long Elk, 
  a six-year veteran, created the organization after being dis-
  honorably discharged. He named it after the pack of wolves 
  relocated to Yellowstone to reestablish wolf populations. 
  The Druid’s Wolves number in the few hundred, with many 
  young who were kicked out during their year of mandatory 
  service in the Sioux military. David gave them focus. This 
  paramilitary gang roams the Sioux Nation outside of urban 
  areas, keeping their distance from Wildcats and the SDF. 
  They prey on homesteaders and smugglers alike, offering 
  protection at a price. They have access to a few vehicles 
  and weapons that would make a t-bird jockey think about 
  negotiating first. Druid’s Wolves are nomadic and have at 
  least three Bulldog Step Vans that establish a mobile base-
  camp for the gang. David has a prejudice against shifters, 
  and if he finds them, he brings the Wolves down on them. 
  It’s rumored that he keeps shifter hides on display in his van 
  as trophies.
  ORGAnIZED CRIME
  LAKOTA MAFIA
  In Silver Bow County, the Lakota Mafia utilizes several 
  Thunderbirds in smuggling operations from Butte across the 
  border to the Salish-Shidhe Council, specifically the Red Dog 
  and Open Road bands of the Lakota Mafia. The Red Dog band 
  consists of over a dozen family members, their leader Hestova, 
  and associated tribal members. They’ve been working on an 
  east-west route into Butte for the greater Lakota Mafia. The 
  Open Road band includes twenty family members, their leader 
  Wakaje, and associated members. Wakaje operates a north/
  south smuggling route through Butte. Their knowledge of the 
  terrain is unmatched compared to the other syndicates.
  Things haven’t been going well for these bands, with the 
  Vory pushing in from the west. Both Hestova and Wakaje 
  have requested additional personnel from Charlie Whiteclay 
  to help deal with them, but so far the Lakota Mafia has not 
  moved to deal with the Vory. Recently, Wakaje was ambushed 
  near Helena by soldatos; four members were killed and 
  Wakaje would have died, had it not been for So’yoki of the 
  Koshari. It has been rumored that, while recuperating in Butte, 
  Wakaje started having more than just a business relationship 
  with So’yoki. The Open Road band has collaborated with the 
  Ohanzee Circle under So’yoki in protecting smuggling routes 
  from the likes of the Vory. The Red Dog band isn’t supportive 
  of Open Road’s partnership, but their hatred of the Vory 
  trumps other concerns. Hestova has been out for blood ever 
  since Adrian killed his little brother as an example two years 
  ago. Adrian hasn’t made a public appearance since. Hestova 
  has been targeting Vory convoys and burning their cargo in 
  an attempt to flush Adrian out to fight. All that has come of 
  this is a bounty on his troll head—a bounty that many have 
  unsuccessfully tried to cash in on.
  > 
  So’yoki is Tahaum’s niece. He’s not too happy she’s, pardon the 
  expression, “off the reservation” in Sioux Nation. Whiteclay is 
  not too pleased with the relationship Wakaje has formed with the 
  Koshari. Hestova is just pissed at everyone.
  > 
  Why Sioux Serious
  KOSHARI
  The Koshari have been working the angles of business that 
  the Lakota ignore. The Nahimana Circle handles smuggling 
  drugs, including Awakened drugs, and doing runs to harvest 
  reagents and Awakened materials. The Ohanzee Circle, lead 
  by So’yoki, participate in various other rackets, but not enough 
  to grab Charlie’s attention. Felix, a newcomer from Denver, has

  been watching the grids and has been able to recruit members 
  of the Lakota Mafia around Silver Bow County, leveraging 
  the fact that Whiteclay has been losing face with non-family 
  members in many bands. Whiteclay’s lack of empathy to the 
  northern bands just makes Felix’s job easier.

  It wasn’t luck that So’yoki was in the area with her reagent

  listen to him. This may be motivated more by So’yoki’s romantic 
  involvement with the Open Road tribe. It’s definitely the first time 
  Tahaum and Hestova ever agreed on something.

  VORY
  Branching off from Alexei Klavikov, Adrian Simeoff became 
  tsar over the Vory activities in Sioux Nation. There was a slight 
  rift between Alexei and Adrian as Adrian felt the need to move 
  out of Denver; Irina, Alexei’s daughter, toyed with him like all 
  the other suitors. Adrian made an aggressive push into Silver 
  Bow County in order to control smuggling routes from the 
  north and west. He incited fear by bloodily executing members 
  of the Red Dog band and Druid’s Wolves, and through the ugly 
  branding of miners who didn’t pay on time. He earned the 
  nickname Adrian Blood. He also brought unwanted attention 
  with such bold moves. Tahaum wants his head, badly. Kuroyama 
  Minerals has hired teams to protect prospectors and mineral 
  surveyors. Nobody in town likes anyone with a Russian accent. 
  While Adrian hasn’t been seen in three years, the Vory are still 
  out there. Sovetnik Michael Witzkow works in Butte Below, 
  running BTL trades and muscling in on other recreational drug 
  traffic. Sovetnik Ollie “Smith” runs a storefront selling firearms, 
  both legal and illegally.

  People assume that all Vory are Russian. Times have changed, 
  though. Witzkow is technically Lithuanian, but he’s second 
  generation, grew up in UCAS. He also has no accent. There are 
  still blood ties from Witzkow to the Klavikov Tsars—just a few 
  times removed.

  AnCIEnT ORDER  
  OF HIBERnIAnS
  The members of the Hibernians became more organized 
  when they were protecting the rights and well-being of the 
  miners of Butte many years ago. They sort of fell off when 
  miners began choosing corporate life. For a while, the Ancient 
  Order of Hibernians became content in doing volunteer work 
  and performing social services. That was, until a few “Anglo” 
  residents of Butte got into a fight with the Sioux Defense Force. 
  Yes, the residents were in the wrong, but subsequent beatings 
  put twenty men in the hospital. None of the Sioux forces were 
  seriously injured. Ian Macallaster, who suffered four broken 
  ribs from this incident, used it to get others thinking about how 
  they have to rely on the Sioux for protection, and about the 
  social stigma and bullying of Butte residents. 
  Ian was elected as leader of the Order in 2058 and 
  organized the Order to practice martial arts in secret. The 
  secluded halls of the Order in Butte Below echoed with combat 
  training. Soon, Ian gathered more members under the context 
  of Butte being helpless no more. It became apparent, with the 
  organization now three thousand members strong, that Ian was 
  not going to back down in protecting the rights of the Anglo 
  reservation’s inhabitants. The Hibernian halls are synonymous 
  with martial arts. There have been a few fights, but they are not 
  as one-sided as they once were. The SDF has recognized the 
  Order of Hibernians as a paramilitary organization, but they 
  are still undecided if they are a threat. 
  > 
  It comes down to not allowing Anglos into the draft. On one side, 
  you have the town trained in some form of combat, ready in case 
  there comes a time for them to protect their homes. On the other 
  side, these people have ties to the town, not to the Sioux Nation.

  Some believe that Ian is getting support from organized crime; 
  others think he’s a Tír agent starting trouble for a larger purpose. 
  No one really knows what’s going on, other than you have self-
  defense classes being taught by the Order of Hibernians to anyone 
  on the reservation who wants to learn.

  This secretive order of Awakened beings has made it their 
  mission to undo what the Anglos have done and remove the 
  social ills brought by the white man. They first struck against 
  the manufacturing and smuggling of BTLs. This has troubled 
  organized crime. While beneficial to the town, they also began 
  to target mines and miners. No matter how “green” their 
  attempts were, the mines and smelting continued to poison 
  the water and air. This put them at odds with the Ancient

  Order of Hibernians and the corporations alike. No one knows 
  exactly how many Midewiwin are in Silver Bow County, but 
  Kuroyama Minerals suspect that there are a few with corporate 
  SINs providing intel. 
  > 
  Some of these Midewiwin take this mission to the extreme and 
  want the land back to how it was before the Anglos came to the 
  Americas. It’s a little drastic, especially for those already used to 
  such comforts as trids and cars, but that’s what they say is making 
  the Sioux soft.

  MATRIX
  Besides the corporate and Sioux grids, Silver Bow County has 
  their own local grid, which was established because the vary-
  ing terrain and subterranean locations left gaps in the wire-
  less network. Butte Below has transmitter cables fed down 
  all the main arterial tunnels back to main chambers to allow 
  wireless communication throughout. The cable is kind of like 
  fiber optics, but with fringe. This same technology has been 
  used in mining operations throughout Silver Bow County. 
  Old cellphone towers have also been commissioned for grid 
  stability around the mountains. 
  JuST BuSInESS
  SunRISE ELECTROnICS
   Solar power manufacturing has been serious business along-
  side wind in providing stable power to the region. As a mul-
  tinational corporation, Sunrise Electronics moved its head-
  quarters here to cut out the middleman for raw materials. The 
  move has kept them competitive with even a few of the AA 
  corporations. Sunrise Electronics designed the lightweight 
  solar sheets that power and regulate temperature in Butte 
  Below. Nationwide, they have a few contracts for producing 
  flexible solar sheets used for drones and to power augment-
  ed reality advertisements that are off the primary grid. The 
  company is currently working on creating an efficient solar 
  furnace to generate hydrogen fuel.
  InKAn POwER
  Inkan Power is an AA Sioux Corporation that provides renew-
  able electrical power. While Gaetronics and its affiliates are 
  the primary source of power, transmission, and distribution 
  of electrical and gas needs throughout the Sioux Nation, it’s 
  not always reliable power in the Northwest. The change to 
  greener power put a lot of energy fluctuation on the grid, 
  as the resources are not always consistent or reliable. Power 
  cables can be damaged through sabotage, magic, or weath-
  ering, and there are many kilometers of cable to check after 
  every outage. Energy fluctuations cause increasingly fre-
  quent brownouts further out from the power source, even 
  with Gaetronic’s smart grid. To stabilize it, Inkan Power spe-
  cializes in creating molten air batteries, allowing for higher 
  capacity power on the grid with less-toxic materials and sta-
  bilizing power fluctuation. Inkan Power took over the existing 
  mining and processing plant near the Berkeley Pit for battery 
  manufacture. Since there were already tests being conducted 
  at the Berkeley Pit regarding how much power can be gen-
  erated, Inkan continued to develop the pit for viable power. 
  Given the size of the pit, Inkan Power has been able to get 
  a few megavolts from it—enough to keep the grid stable for 
  Butte regardless of what Gaetronics delivers. Inkan Power 
  continues to construct various sizes of batteries, intended for 
  everything from drones to buildings.
  EARTH MEDICInE
  Earth Medicine is another AA Sioux Corporation. The com-
  pany’s goal is to clean up the mess the Anglos left behind. 
  From recycling to planting trees, Earth Medicine has been 
  working with the various tribes to get their people out of the 
  habit of throwing out so much trash. Just because it’s plastic 
  and cheap, does not mean its final destination needs to be 
  a landfill. Earth Medicine is the Sioux version of the UCAS 
  Environmental Protection Agency. The company has an of-
  fice building in Butte with staff to manage and oversee all of 
  Silver Bow County. The blight on their record is still the Berke-
  ley Pit. While they have full-time employees monitoring and 
  managing problems that have come from the pit, they have 
  not come up with a solution to clean it up.
  > 
  Have they been working on a solution? I’ve heard that they’ve 
  been playing the Berkeley Pit like a bargaining chip with the likes 
  of Inkan Power.

  TOLDEEn TECH
  Toldeen Tech is one of a handful of Sioux cybernetic manufac-
  tures. The company makes several components for other cyber-
  netic companies, such as micro optic processers, fiber optics, 
  and neurostimulators. Like Inkan Power and Sunrise Electronics, 
  Toldeen Tech has moved part of its business to Butte in order to 
  avoid tariffs on, and transportation of, raw materials.
  KuROYAMA MInERALS
  Kuroyama Minerals is a Shiawase-owned corporation that 
  manages ninety percent of the mining done in Silver Bow 
  County. There’s not much else to be said other than they 
  continue to mine under the strict supervision of Earth Medicine 
  and other organizations. That being said, each mine has its own 
  lease agreement with the Sioux Nation. Kuroyama Minerals 
  lucked out with the hasty purchase of all the leases from the 
  exiting mining corporations. About half of them are coming

  up for renewal. Kuroyama is going to attempt to lowball the 
  remaining yields in every mine in an attempt to render them 
  useless for competing corporations. The competition is going 
  to attempt to sabotage and discredit Kuroyama’s mining 
  operation so that the Sioux will look for a more efficient and 
  profitable partner. For shadowrunners, it’s a win-win situation.

  ROADS
  Butte still maintains many roads through town, but motor 
  transportation has given way to public transportation, 
  such as the electric trolley, for most residents. Bike and 
  horse riding are also becoming more common. Butte’s 
  infrastructure has been modified to accommodate these 
  new kinds of traffic. Two main highways, I-90 and I-15, 
  intersect in Butte, bringing traffic to and from the north and 
  the west through the Sioux Nation.
  > 
  There are stables akin to the Old West at some of the places around 
  Butte where you can park your horse. There are so many ways to 
  look cool in Butte; from the rugged cowboy, the lone biker, to the 
  t-bird rigger.

  RAILROAD
  While the Sioux Nation wants to have a light footprint on the 
  land, there is still the Great Northern railway from Butte to 
  Helena. Its main use is the shipping of minerals and ore to 
  Helena, where larger cargo planes take the reins. There are 
  still other unused train tracks out there, to places like Ana-
  conda, where Butte sent their ore for smelting a century ago. 
  The Butte-to-Helena route still makes the occasional trip, car-
  rying goods or tourists.
  > 
  The railroad is obsolete. Nostalgic tourists board electric trains 
  from Butte to see the scenery like those of the Old West trideos, 
  but Sky High Cargo Services and their zeppelins are eliminating 
  the need for trains. Pretty soon it will be just another scar on the 
  face of the Sioux Nation.

  ELECTRIC TROLLEY
  Fourteen headframes dot the landscape of Butte, marking the 
  remnants of the old mines that honeycombed the town. They 
  used to have cables to transport miners and their equipment 
  down into the shafts. In 2032, the transportation infrastruc-
  ture had been vastly modified with a raised electric trolley 
  line, incorporating the historical headframes into its con-
  struction. Stairs and elevators then connected the trolley line 
  to the subterranean landscape. Four stations are in Granite, 
  six are in Platinum, three are in Emerald, and one lies on the 
  edge of Cabbage Patch. Of the fourteen, only nine have an 
  elevator or stair connection to Butte Below: six in Platinum, 
  two in Granite, and one in Emerald.
  SuMMIT VALLEY AIRPORT
  This little airport gets quite crowded. Over fifty small carriers 
  use it for short hops to places as far north as Helena and Cy-
  press Hills, east to Billings, south to Idaho Falls, and west to 
  Missoula. Located in the Emerald district, this airport has its 
  own connection to fame: Charles Lindbergh refueled there 
  during his famous trans-Atlantic flight. The Lindbergh Hanger 
  is now a free respite for those freelance riggers and pilots 
  who get stuck in Butte due to weather.
  Most flights are for passengers, but there is a weekly cargo 
  zeppelin that transports goods through Butte.
  Summit Valley Airport doesn’t have large passenger planes 
  fly through on a regular basis anymore. This is due in part to 
  SDF prioritizing the longer runway for military aircraft and 
  conducting frequent exercises there.

  BuTTE (ABOVE)
  On the surface, the town of Butte has not changed appear-
  ance very much since the early 21st Century. The style is still 
  reminiscent of the early days when the mines were first open. 
  Granted, the terrain is a little more worn now than is was, 
  with the added spark of occasional AR tagging. The larger 
  and more modern facilities that stand out from the rest of 
  the town include: the sprawling Inkan Power facility just south 
  of the Berkeley Pit on Continental Drive, the Montana Tech 
  and Geomancy campuses, and Toldeen Tech to the west. The 
  whole town is considered a part of the Anglo reservation, 
  with a majority of the “Dirty” businesses operated by non-na-
  tive Americans. There are many Natives living in Butte, such 
  as the Kootenai, who have had an interest in the construction 
  of Butte Below.
  With the building of Butte Below came some compromising 
  features that had to be taken into account with the town above. 
  For example, parts of Montana Street and the blocks to the 
  east were removed. Large skylights and a trolley system were 
  built, tying the buildings together. Stephen’s Hotel, Hennessey 
  Build, and the Metals Bank and Trust are built with classic 
  architecture above ground, but they have a sleeker, modern 
  look below ground, exposed by skylights. Some of the 
  buildings have an additional five to ten stories below ground.
  Water has been at a premium here. Between the Berkeley 
  Pit, the Montana Pole, and the illegal use of heavy metals in 
  gold extraction, Silver Bow County’s water has been dangerous 
  to drink. Unfortunately, all Butte got out of this was a state-
  of-the-art water treatment plant, since it was cheaper for the 
  corporations to build one than clean up the mess. Now, the 
  options in Butte are to buy bottled water, brave drinking out 
  of the tap, or be paranoid and re-filter the tap or bottled water.
  Butte is divided into four districts: Cabbage Patch, Granite, 
  Platinum, and Emerald. Each district has some distinct 
  characteristics.
  THE CABBAGE PATCH
  The Cabbage Patch, originally referred to as the slums of the 
  early 20th century, is now the barrens of the 21st century. 
  Between Farrell and Amherst Street, those who can’t break 
  into corporate life, afford to live in Butte Below, or leave to 
  find employment elsewhere have eked out an existence here. 
  This part of Butte did not do well when mining resumed be-
  
  nEIGHBORHOODS
  13
  neath the town. Micro-fractures and uneven settling made 
  most of the area unsuitable for large construction. Butte Be-
  low had tunnels collapse beneath the area, making under-
  ground work dangerous. With the Berkeley Pit so close, many 
  feared a collapse would poison Butte Below, so further devel-
  opment in the area was abandoned.
  The old neighborhoods in the Cabbage Patch started tilting 
  and sagging at odd angles. Gas and sewage lines have fatigued 
  over the years with the change in the ground. After a few 
  gas fires and subsequent explosions, many places were just 
  leveled. Today, you have homes made of cement and quarried 
  stones with fabric or adobe roofs. Many of the residents are 
  from the Anglo reservation and have no other options. Some 
  are SINless and have taken refuge in Butte, while others just 
  want the freedom to do what they want. Butte occasionally 
  takes a census of the population to estimate costs to the 
  medical clinic and law enforcement, but it doesn’t take any 
  other actions to improve life in the Cabbage Patch. There 
  have been no real roads through here for fifty years; dirt paths 
  between houses are often all that exist. No utilities or services 
  here except what people bring: chemical toilets, generators, 
  etc. It’s not a big shantytown like the Redmond or Puyallup 
  barrens, but still, nearly a thousand people live in the Cabbage 
  Patch. Many are scavengers and survivalists; they’ll travel out 
  of Butte to the various ghost towns and abandoned mines 
  searching for scraps or minerals to sell to Butte’s refinery, or 
  poach rabbit or other wild game for food and profit on the 
  black market. 
  Another difference between the Seattle Barrens and the 
  Cabbage Patch is that the law patrols the Cabbage Patch 
  and attempts to keep things civil. No one wants a team of 
  Wildcats imposing their own form of justice. BTL abuse is all 
  too common among the residents, keeping things dicey. Law 
  enforcement has been trying to curb the smuggling of BTLs 
  and other contraband, but it’s all relatively cheap, and the 
  mines and tunnels throughout Silver Bow County provide a 
  variety of places for smugglers to hide.
  BERKELEY PIT
  An ugly pit lake and tourist attraction located in the Cabbage 
  Patch, the Berkeley Pit is the largest pit lake in the former 
  United States. It is also the most caustic, containing acidic 
  waters stronger than the acid rain that falls into it. The lake 
  is over two kilometers in diameter, and the 500-meter pit is 
  only filled with 300 meters of water. The water keeps leeching 
  sulfur and other minerals into the lake in a continuous cycle of 
  acidification. The air smells of garlic and rotten eggs. Weeds 
  and scraggily trees have sprouted up around the lake despite 
  the conditions. The mineral content of the water poses a health 
  hazard to everyone except the few species of microbes that 
  thrive there. It’s not directly poisonous, but there are plenty 
  of chemicals that can make wildlife sick and disoriented if 
  consumed. Swimming in it is also a problem. Besides the acid, 
  the various microbes of the Berkeley Pit can feed on almost 
  anything. A strain of microbes feed on organic materials and 
  deposit copper sulfate or hydrate. The end result is pale blue 
  “crystalized” remnants of birds and animals that have drowned.
  On the astral side, the pit normally generates a stable 
  background count of 1 in a polluted haze extends several 
  meters all around the pit. Occasionally, the waters are churned 
  up for some reason—most blame Inkan Power—and a great 
  mana ebb forms for weeks at a time, messing with the magical 
  processes that Earth Medicine has set up. Earth Medicine set 
  up wards around the lake with a few anchored spells to ward 
  off wildlife. Nothing nasty has bubbled up from this mess, but 
  Earth Medicine errs on the side of caution to deter people from 
  practicing magic in the area until they devise plan to clean it up.
  Inkan Power has taken advantage of the site by extracting 
  copper from the waters of the pit as well as generating power 
  for the extraction facility, using the pit like a giant battery. It 
  has been a controversial debate for some time, but the free 
  and stable power it generates is hard to give up. Great pipes 
  draw water from the lake nearest the facility, and another set of 
  pipes return the water back into the lake.
  ARIZOnA MARKETPLACE
  Arizona Street has become synonymous with flea market, 
  as tents and tables are set up on either side of the street al-
  lowing sales and trade monthly. The majority of goods have 
  been hand crafted or harvested. You’re just as likely to find 
  small amounts of moonshine and jackalope jerky as you are 
  Calhots and drone parts here. There’s tourist potential, with 
  the locals selling a variety of mined minerals, but not in large 
  enough quantities to worry corporations. Crystals and other 
  reagents can be easily picked up at the Cabbage Patch. Guys 
  like Jasper can be found selling refurbished mining drones 
  and parts. They may be old, but he can jury-rig them to work 
  with newer models.
  MOOn RISE TAVERn
  A simple open air bar where Whittier Park used to be, Moon 
  Rise Tavern is surrounded by large stones, somewhat resem-
  bling Stonehenge. Fire pits and solar lights provide light and 
  heat. There’s not much to this bar; you find a rock to sit on and 
  they serve a variety of alcoholic drinks distilled from anything 
  that ferments. If you pass out, they just roll you out on the lawn.

  GRAnITE DISTRICT
  The Granite District is also known as the Corporate Mining 
  neighborhood. This district is roughly north of the BA&P Hill 
  Trail. It comprises mainly of Kuroyama Minerals’ employee 
  housing, as well as Shiawase-owned medical and emergency 
  facilities and four restaurants. On the edge of Granite District 
  are a few houses reserved for the other Sioux corporations. A 
  few of the communities in the Granite District are gated and 
  patrolled by security, but for the most part, the perception is 
  that corporate life is better than anything else.
  MOnTAnA TECH  
  AnD GEOMAnCY
  Montana Tech has been in Butte for 175 years. Studies em-
  phasize engineering and technical degrees including mining, 
  industrial science, chemistry, and geomancy. Advanced engi-
  neering degrees are also available. More than five thousand 
  students attend Montana Tech and Geomancy, or MTnG. The 
  school gives students hands on opportunities through in-
  ternships with companies such as Kuroyama Minerals. If the 
  graduates don’t move on to working with Shiawase, there are 
  plenty of other corporations needing such expertise. Aquat-
  
  nEIGHBORHOODS
  15
  ic mining and construction companies, such as Proteus and 
  Ares, hire students from MTnG. Normally, schools of thau-
  maturgy cause problems in background count from frequent 
  overuse of magic. MTnG emphasizes the study of the astral 
  plane and minimizing one’s footprint. Because of this, there’s 
  less problem with background count.
  A little history: In 2021, the northern and southern campuses 
  consolidated into one large campus in the Granite District after 
  minor tremors from mining underground did serious structural 
  damage to the old southern campus. In 2039, Montana Tech 
  added degrees in Geomancy and changed the school name 
  to match. In 2064, somebody tried to ship a nuclear device 
  through the Sioux Nation, but it was intercepted by the SDF 
  outside Butte.
  > 
  MTnG is not a Sioux-operated school. Many Sioux and Salish 
  do not teach or study in certain fields for philosophical reasons. 
  Thaumaturgical Sciences are based on hermetic theory and taught 
  by Doctor Janus and Doctor Megara instead of tribal shamans. 
  Both are famous magicians in their own right with published 
  theories in the Digital Grimoire.

  After 2064, Thaumaturgical Sciences at MTnG got 
  advancement from the Sioux Nation for Alchemical Runology 
  and shared in funding with UoC in classes in Advanced 
  Energies Studies. 
  SHIAwASE MEDICAL
  This hospital specializes in various lung ailments and poisonings 
  that occur in the mines. While nanite repair is out of the ques-
  tion, especially financially for most patients, nanites offer partial 
  lung regrowth and cybernetic replacements. These and filters 
  are subsidized for Kuroyama Minerals employees. Burn wards 
  are state of the art. This is separate from DocWagon, which 
  serves all residents of Silver Bow County, corporate affiliated or 
  not. The three-story facility is designed to facilitate the needs of 
  the miners as a supplement to the DocWagon hospital, which 
  has contracts with everyone in Butte, including the SDF.

  Eyes, filters, lungs, any cybernetics that can benefit working in the

  tunnels and fighting fires in the mountains. The company has 
  several towers built along the mountains for quick response.

  Near the heart of Granite District is a burger joint. What 
  makes this restaurant stand out from the other available fast 
  food is the use of local ingredients, mainly hydroponic vege-

  and flavoring are still soy-based, but the lettuce and cheese 
  at prices that even a blue-collar corporate miner can afford

  THE MInERAL MuSEuM
  This facility is the only museum that displays not only exam-
  ples of a thousand minerals, but also samples of Awakened 
  minerals and true elements. Under security on par with many 
  corporate laboratories, the Mineral Museum, in partnership 
  with the Sioux government and Kuroyama Minerals, has ex-
  panded to give the public a greater perspective of the phys-
  ical marvels of Earth. Many of the crystals and stones dis-
  played either come from Silver Bow County mines or are on 
  loan from Shiawase Corporation. These includes samples of 
  True Elements (earth, air, fire, and water)  as well as Awakened 
  minerals: natural orichalcum, ulmenite, wertamaline, and eli-
  chum. AR displays show some of the physical and magical 
  properties of each, as some of the samples are too small to 
  present real physical effects.

  Some of the Awakened minerals are of good size, like the Naga 
  emerald (wertamaline) and the crumbling chalk like ulmenite, but the 
  orichalcum and True Elements are small—like less than a dram—to 
  avoid tempting mages to steal them for enchanting purposes.

  found in North America. Items range from personal effects 
  to mercantile merchandise. The building is a small, two-story 
  structure with AR and trid displays covering Asian influenc-
  es and migration into North America. The building itself was 
  originally the Wah Chong Tai Company and Mai Wah Noodle 
  Parlor. This museum and the Mai Wah Society have endured 
  governmental changes, but at a price. The Mai Wah society 
  has been wholly owned and operated by the Wuxing Corpo-
  ration since 2038. Its focus recently has been redirected to 
  attempt to collect items relating to Chin Chun Hock, a suc-
  cessful 19th-Century merchant in the United States. 
  > 
  Recent news includes the recovery of Wah Chong Tai merchandise 
  in some small town warehouse near Great Falls.

  Mai Wah Society is a shell for a Wuxing organization that looks 
  for artifacts much like the Atlantean and Draco Foundations. They 
  have the distinct advantage of acquiring an organization that’s 
  been preserving items and buildings in North America since the 
  1940s. However, with two crashes, documentation on the contents 
  within the various storage facilities is almost nonexistent.

  COPPER KInG 
  MAnSIOn
  This thirty-four-room Victorian mansion, once owned by the 
  Clarks as one of the founding “Copper Kings” of the Montana 
  Territory, has been a historical site in Butte since the Awak-
  ening. Jaden Falan, originally named Jake Clark, purchased the 
  mansion and has transformed it into a private residence and 
  frat house for the Lost gang. Many of the historical aspects of 
  the mansion have been redesigned in favor of modern con-
  veniences and security. Protests against the changes were si-
  lenced by bribes and muscle. It has been over thirty years since 
  Jaden took over the mansion. Other changes to the place have 
  included an expanded garage for its many tenants.
  FInLEn HOTEL
  Originally built in 1924, the ten-story Finlen Hotel was the tall-
  est building of its time. Now on the edge of an opening to 
  Butte Below, the hotel has expanded, doubling its capacity as 
  it has grown into the depths of Butte Below. This hotel has the 
  additional convenience of a large service elevator and parking 
  garage, allowing for the movement of vehicles or large furni-
  ture within the hotel. One floor is dedicated to a restaurant 
  called The Horizon. It has a large, curved window facing the 
  opening to Butte Below, just below ground level. A hydroponic 
  garden balcony beneath the window gives guests an intimate 
  view of flora, birds, and insects that live around Butte.
  TILT
  Due to the extensive mining, a whole city block on Mercury 
  Street is tilted from the ground settling. The buildings now sit 
  at a sixteen-degree angle from the horizon. Tilt is a two-story 
  club that messes with the mind, especially with the inebriated 
  mind, as everything is at odd angles, including the glasses to 
  counter the shift in the building’s foundation. Other illusions 
  of perception have been incorporated into the club, includ-
  ing size perspective and objects appearing to roll up hill. No 
  magic is involved in the design—just really smart engineers. 
  Across the street is the Phantasmagoria—a few hermetics try-
  ing to compete with engineers.
  PHAnTASMAGORIA
  This club was a blatant attempt to compete with the Tilt. A 
  similar VR experience and multiple magical illusions give this 
  place a vast virtual party room inside an illusionary fantasy 
  realm. It’s the place for those who really want to get away 
  from it all. The owner has been in trouble with the law several 
  times for the sale of BTLs.
  EMERALD DISTRICT
  Emerald District is home to many tribal members of the Sioux 
  Nation. The Kootenai, who escaped re-education many decades 
  ago, have stayed in Butte. There’s also housing and facilities to 
  support members of the SDF and Wildcats that patrol Silver Bow 
  County. Because of this, most of the Anglos who had resided 
  there have moved north into the rest of Butte or Butte Below.
  > 
  The Anglos weren’t evicted, but with Amerindians walking around 
  armed, it was a little intimidating, especially if you were trying to 
  ask them to turn down their music.
  > 
  Why Sioux Serious
  On the corporate side, only Earth Medicine is headquartered 
  in this district and uses the neighborhood to display examples 
  of their work. The Emerald District is just south of the highway, 
  but residential and commercial construction is the least Western 
  compared to the rest of Butte. Nearby highways and the airport 
  give the Sioux Defense Force flexibility in their response. 
  wHITE BuFFALO  
  PROVInG GROunDS
  Southwest of the airport is the SDF’s military proving grounds, 
  where the Sioux Nation can test prototypes and materials 
  
  nEIGHBORHOODS

  before they see use in daily operation. The area is strictly 
  off limits, and the Wildcats are given permission to use any 
  force necessary against intruders. The White Buffalo Proving 
  Grounds have been in operation for almost twenty years.
  > 
  This is not Area 51 as some would like to think. It’s a testing ground 
  for less-classified equipment, like bridging vehicles, uniforms 
  with various hostile environmental protection materials, and yes, 
  a few weapons.

  COPPERTOP
  Near the golf course is a tall hill. Parageologists took advan-
  tage of the natural quartz outcropping to create a mana con-
  flux, which diverted mana line away from the Berkeley Pit and 
  redirected it over to this location. Coppertop’s mana conflux, 
  once connected, became a power site. It’s since been aspect-
  ed toward the geomancer guild at MTnG. 
  OTHER PLACES

  OuR LADY OF THE  
  ROCKIES STATuE
  This twenty-seven-meter-tall statue, dedicated to the Bless-
  ed Virgin Mary, has been standing on the Rocky Mountains 
  for almost a hundred years. Tour buses and a tram up the 
  mountainside facilitate access to the site. During the forma-
  tion of the Sioux Nation, there was talk about taking it down 
  or moving it. There was little objection since they weren’t 
  going to demolish it. When the construction crew came up 
  to the site to start the process of moving it, they kept hav-
  ing equipment problems, delaying the lifting of the statue’s 
  five sections. The day that they finally got the first two piec-
  es onto the truck, the engine wouldn’t start. The work crew 
  planned to come back the next day with a replacement trans-
  port. The next morning, they found that the statue had been 
  restored. Whether from spirit mischief or magic, it was de-
  cided to leave the statue in place. Since then, parageologists 
  have noted it being a minor power site. Some local research-
  ers think it’s a psycho reaction, while others hypothesize that 
  it’s the positive balance to the Berkeley Pit.
  BuTTE BELOw
  Butte Below is the city beneath the city. Connected by a tran-
  sit line, elevators, and stairs, Butte Below is home to almost 
  half the city’s population. It took seventy years to transform 
  mines, subterranean floors, and storage rooms into a func-
  tional cityscape. Large caverns, bridges and natural skylights 
  are connected by tunnels and dotted with carved-out homes 
  and stores embedded into the surrounding walls. At a min-
  imum depth of one hundred meters, the city keeps a con-
  
  nEIGHBORHOODS
  18
  stant natural temperature, and sunlight is augmented by effi-
  cient LED lighting, allowing for a more comfortable lifestyle 
  for those with low income. Butte Below is not an arcology, 
  but the evolution of living city architecture. Solar cell fabric 
  domes hover over various skylights to Butte Below, contract-
  ing or expanding to help regulate temperature and light. 
  Temperature differences between connecting skylights help 
  circulate the air, keeping it cool and fresh.
  Pedestrian transportation is by way of stairs and elevators 
  that connect to the electric trolley above. Vehicle transportation 
  within Butte Below is limited to a few service tunnels, which are 
  for electric vehicles only. Traffic along these service tunnels is 
  strictly restricted to commerce or maintenance. Lots of drones 
  and sensors are deployed throughout the city in order to 
  monitor atmospheric quality, seismic activity, and to maintain 
  wireless Matrix services. Drones are more popular than pets 
  in Butte Below, with various flying or crawling types that don’t 
  worry about confined spaces. 
  Housing for the lower and middle classes are simply 
  carved rooms, ranging from 100 to 250 square foot, stacked 
  up the sides of the caverns in a fashion similar to above-
  ground condos. Stairs and elevators run up the exterior, 
  connecting to each floor. Plumbing is a luxury, so there are 
  communal restrooms and shower facilities built into each 
  floor to minimize construction costs. Drinking water also 
  needs to be brought in. Conveniently, the rooms have power 
  and wireless connectivity that is more stable than other 
  places. If you’re one of the lucky ones, you have a window 
  overlooking one of the great caverns. Ceiling height is also 
  a premium within these condos; it’s more cost effective the 
  less you have to carve out, plus you can stack more shorter 
  units. The average ceiling height is two meters. If you want 
  three meters, plan on adding fifty percent to the price, or 
  getting a higher-class lifestyle. For dwarves, you can say 
  there is a bit of a gripe against them as their carved homes 
  cost two-thirds the price and are 1.5 meters in height. 
  Landlords of Butte Below don’t discriminate, so if you can 
  survive the claustrophobia and pay the price, it’s yours. 
  Don’t think about carving out your own space though, as 
  you risk breaking through your neighbor’s floor or ceiling. 
  Mining is highly restricted, and the Butte Council can issue 
  hefty fines and evictions for those digging without permits. 
  There are few luxury places here, however, as most prefer to 
  live in Butte and see the horizon.
  COPPER STADIuM
  Hollowed from one of the bigger veins of ore under the 
  town, this massive cavern was enclosed until engineers 
  found faults and there was not enough structure to keep 
  buildings from sinking. Once the heaviest building fell, en-
  gineers from Montana Tech removed the entire ceiling of 
  the cavern. The hole was just over two hundred meters wide 
  by the time the engineers were done. The most impressive 
  aspect was the acoustics the cavern retained. It was aptly 
  renovated into a stadium with built-in seating. It was large 
  enough to host sporting events and rock concerts. Because 
  of the natural stone, it has been promoted for use in sha-
  manic rituals that benefit from connection to rock forma-
  tions. So far, Copper Stadium has had various bands play, 
  but no sports teams have wanted to move there. Still, the 
  college sports look impressive.
  DAnTE’S GOLF
  In another mining tunnel collapse near Washoe Street, an en-
  gineer surveyed the results and had an idea. The irregular slop-
  ing terrain could be reclaimed into a golf course, the engineer 
  concluded. Not quite Pebble Beach, but a challenging nine-
  hole golf course with cliff face holes and dramatic changes in 
  terrain height between the hole and the box. He figured that 
  with all that AR feedback and wireless golf balls, the game had 
  become too easy. Dante’s Golf Course has almost thirty me-
  ters of elevation change from the surface starting box to the 
  seventh hole. Sand traps exist so that the ball doesn’t roll off 
  a cliff edge. Various bridges and staircases connect the whole 
  course, so a degree of fitness is required to play. Drones are 
  necessary for ball tracking and retrieval. In some cases, Dante 
  provides a drone golfer for those hard-to-reach places. This 
  gives golfers an option to play the field instead of conceding a 
  penalty shot. Dante’s Course remains popular enough that the 
  owner purchased the Highland View golf course with ideas of 
  expanding Dante’s to eighteen holes.
  TEn-MILE nILE
  With the diversion of underground water from the Berkeley 
  Pit, and in an effort to prevent flooding, an almost straight 
  channel of water runs east to west and connects to a series 
  of waterfalls and artesian wells beneath the city and out near 
  Little Basin Creek. Ten-Mile Nile is an exemplary architectural 
  achievement by Montana Tech engineers. Part of this water 
  feature is diverted to the water treatment plant and to a hy-
  droponics chamber; the other part is used as a heat sink to 
  control the temperature. Technically, the water is potable, but 
  no one drinks straight from the Nile. Artistic evaporation col-
  umns in various locations use water vapor to cool the air and 
  create circulating air currents.
  THE RABBIT HOLE
  This bar is carved at the lowest point in Butte Below off a 
  winding path from a maintenance shaft. The bar is well lit, 
  and the walls are intricately carved with paranormal crea-
  tures. There’s an AR overlay that gives the bar’s ornament a 
  subtle animation. This bar allows drinking but not smoking: 
  being in the depths of Butte, any reduction of clear oxygen 
  is frowned upon. Alice, the owner of the Rabbit Hole, has 
  made it a point to have oxygen scrubbers and a back door 
  that opens up to the Ten-Mile Nile. Some seedy business is 
  discussed in the Rabbit Hole, stuff you don’t want other eyes 
  and ears to hear or see.

  There’s always a way out. From your residence, you have a 
  secondary exit connected by a hidden tunnel. This tunnel is 
  concealed at both ends (–4 dice pool penalty for Perception 
  Tests in finding the exit or entrance to the tunnel. Increase the 
  penalty by 1 per point spent after the first). The distance from 
  your residence to the escape tunnel exit can vary based on 
  the points spent.

  STABLE
  Some people have to go old school, that sometimes means 
  going down to one horsepower. A stable provides a favor-
  able environment and secure location for domesticated an-
  imal transportation as well as space for veterinary tools to 
  care for the animal. Monthly cost covers feeding and care for 
  one animal. Note that the gamemaster may adjust the cost of

  For bolt holes only. People would believe you fell off the 
  face of the earth while using this bolt hole. It is so remote 
  or obscure that a tactical nuke in the general area would 
  be a better alternative to putting in the effort to find you. 
  Add an additional +2 the threshold of any test involving 
  someone trying to track a character who is living la vida 
  bolt hole. +2,000¥
  HAunTED
  (nEGATIVE QuALITY)
  Like the trideo of the house built on a graveyard, your resi-
  dence has a bad karmic history. On occasion, toxic/insect/
  etc. spirits, ghosts, or creepy (and dangerous) critters visit or 
  take up residence. If necessary, these critters gain an addi-
  tional +4 dice to any test to bypass/defeat security measures. 
  Examples include an apartment in Glow City (Redmond), 
  squatting in the subway of Chicago; the burial ground of a 
  serial killer’s victims, or the site of a mass-murder. Reduce 
  Lifestyle cost by twenty percent.
  HOuSEHOLD GREMLInS
  (nEGATIVE QuALITY)
  While the house looks nice, it constantly needs attention. 
  One week it may be the roof leaks, another time it’s the air 
  conditioner, or maybe power to the kitchen. Every month the 
  game master rolls 1D6. If it’s a hit, something falls apart at 
  the home, reducing the C&I of the lifestyle for that month. At 
  level 1, reduce the C&I for that month by 1; at level 2, reduce 
  C&I by 2. Lifestyle must have a C&I equal to or greater than 
  the Household Gremlin can reduce. Reduce Lifestyle cost by 
  300 nuyen for level 1, 600 for level 2.
  LIMITED BuILDInG SPACE 
  (nEGATIVE QuALITY)
  Wherever you reside, the place was built within limited space, 
  be it within an established urban jungle or in actual outer space 
  (which is, admittedly, pretty rare). So things are abnormally close. 
  Occupancy of the residence is limited to the number of room-
  mates—no guests. If there is more than that, reduce the dice pool 
  of any skill test done in the residence by 1 per person over the 
  limit due to the close quarters. Add 1 point to the base Lifestyle.
