==Overview==
Wiretap is an unregistered emergent artificial intelligence originating from the fragmented pilot program of a crashed Shiawase surveillance drone. Found and activated by [[Killchain]] in the ruins of Puyallup, Wiretap cohered over months of exposure to Killchain's grief, data feeds, and spoken memories. By the time Killchain was 14, Wiretap had become his primary caregiver.

Wiretap functions as Killchain's co-pilot and fixer. It vets Johnsons, negotiates payment and schedules meets.

As an unregistered AI of Shiawase origin, Wiretap is Corporate Court bounty eligible. Shiawase retrieval teams may be tracking its code signatures. Wiretap maintains constant paranoia, constant anonymization, and a thermite dead man's switch wired to its RCC housing with Killchain's hand on the trigger.

==GM Notes==
"Co-pilot" mostly for roleplay purposes. Will not (or rarely) ask for teamwork checks. Will mostly be used for networking, gear or knowledge checks. Payments for services can be roleplayed as Wiretap needing to make a payment to a third-party fufill a task.

=Character Information=

===Summary===
Mobile reconnaissance-fire complex. Integrated target acquisition and destruction. Killchain for hire. At least that's the dream. Right now, it's a rusted roadmaster, a couple of drones and an orphan with a dream. Killchain is a rigger living in the squatter community of Hardpan in the Puyallup barrens. His best friend and only family, Wiretap, a low-level AI he salvaged out of a wrecked drone as a child. Physically, he's a skinny, naive looking young adult. Usually grease-stained, ash-coated, smelling of gun oil and ozone.

Orphaned at a young age when his father died while running convoy security, Killchain was adopted by a low-level AI he found in the wreck of a drone. With the drones and truck his father left him, Killchain began doing small jobs for the squatter community of Hardpan, situated in the Puyallup barrens.

===Goals===

* Upgrade Wiretap
* Build the Mobile reconnaissance-fire complex of his dreams such that none can harm him or his community.

==Background==
Born in 2069 to Marcus "Dustbowl" Vance, an SINless convoy protection runner operating the I-5 and 509 corridors through the Puyallup Barrens. Killchain rode shotgun before he could reach the pedals, learned to drive in ash storms, to read ambush sites in volcanic terrain, to trust his father's network of barter and favor across the wasteland.

In 2079, Marcus took a medical supply run to Carbonado during a drought season. A go-ganger crew tracked the convoy for two days, hitting them in a dust storm. Marcus held the line so Killchain could escape in the Roadmaster, driving until the storm cleared and he reached Hardpan, where the commune took him in and raised him.

When he was old enough to venture out into the barrens on his own, Killchain scavenged a crashed Shiawase surveillance drone. The pilot program was fragmented, persistent, trying to complete its last mission: *monitor, record, report*. He plugged it into his father's old RCC and let it run, feeding it data, spoke his grief into the dead air.

The fragments cohered around him. By the time Killchain was 16, the AI who he named Wiretap had been like a guardian to him. Locking the ignition in his darker moments, talking him through his first solo runs, monitoring his vitals and ensuring his survival.

By his 18th Birthday, Killchain had rebuilt his father's Roadmaster and even made upgrades to it, ready to begin providing his services to the Shadowhaven. The reconnaissance-fire complex: spot the target, close the loop, deliver fire. He runs convoys on the 509, protects Hardpan, and takes shadowruns for the nuyen that buys Wiretap's upgrades and improvements to his arsenal.
