Operation File // SC-RESERVE-001
The Aurelia Reserve
A private bank in the heart of the Aurelius District, holding accounts for people who built their fortunes in the same shadow economy you work in. The irony is not lost on the Broker.
Getting inside takes intelligence gathered in advance, a crew with the right specialisations, and a window that closes without warning. A clean run is a statement the whole city hears.
Window Notice
The Reserve's vulnerability window is time-limited and unpredictable. When the Broker signals the window is open, crews have a fixed period to commit their plan and execute. Miss the window and you wait a full season.
Trust Threshold
Every crew member must hold a Trust score of 60 or above to participate. A single crew member below threshold blocks the entire operation from proceeding.
From The Broker
"It has never been touched. Not because it cannot be — because nobody has put the right people in the right place with the right plan."
The Operation
Six Phases. One Shot.
Six phases. Every one of them asks the crew to decide something. There are no neutral moments.
Before the Job
Intel Gathering
Weeks before the window opens, your crew researches the Reserve. Security schedules, guard rotations, vault timing, and staff patterns — all sourced through contacts or the Broker.
Game Mechanic
Crew votes on which intel sources to pursue. Better intel reduces risk multipliers during execution.
Risk Factor
Cost of intel. Low direct risk but missed information creates blind spots.
Finding Your People
Crew Assembly
The Reserve requires a crew of 4–6 players in specific roles. Each role slot must be filled before the operation can proceed. Missing a role is a guaranteed failure point.
Game Mechanic
Crew invitations require Trust threshold approval. All members must vote to proceed before the plan locks in.
Risk Factor
Trust score checks. One below-threshold player blocks the operation.
Choosing the Method
Approach Vote
Before execution, the crew votes on the operational approach: Quiet, Deception, or Force. Each carries a different risk profile, requires different role strengths, and offers different payout modifiers.
Game Mechanic
Majority vote determines approach. A tied vote defaults to the highest-heat option. The vote is final once cast.
Risk Factor
The wrong approach for your crew composition significantly increases bust probability.
The Job
Execution
Each role player receives a sequence of decisions during execution. Role performance is calculated from choices made. Failures cascade — one compromised role can trigger a response that locks out the vault.
Game Mechanic
Each player receives 3-5 decision prompts during their role phase. Outcomes feed into a shared operation state.
Risk Factor
Cascading failures. High heat triggers at each complication. Bust probability rises with each misstep.
Getting Out Clean
Extraction
The Wheelman executes the escape route. The better their vehicle, the cleaner the extraction. A clean extraction reduces final heat impact for the entire crew.
Game Mechanic
Wheelman's vehicle stats determine extraction efficiency. Police pressure from execution phase compounds here.
Risk Factor
High police pressure from earlier failures makes extraction significantly harder.
The Debrief
After-Action Report
The operation generates a full After-Action Report — automatically filed when the job concludes. It records every crew member's performance, the final payout, heat impact, and efficiency score.
Game Mechanic
Report visible to all crew members. High efficiency earns future operation bonuses. Poor performance is on the permanent record.
Risk Factor
None from the report itself. But the record follows you — crew invitations reference it.
Approach Selection
Choose Your Method
The crew votes on the approach before committing. Each method requires different role strengths and carries different heat and payout consequences.
Quiet Approach
No alarms. No blood. No witnesses.
The Hacker takes point. Security systems are bypassed digitally. Cameras looped. Access forged. A quiet approach leaves no physical evidence — but the technical execution must be near-perfect.
Payout Modifier
+15%
Heat Category
Low
Lowest heat. Best payout. Highest execution difficulty.
Role Requirements
Crew System
Every Role Has Weight
A weak link anywhere breaks the chain. Every role has to hold, not just the loudest one.
Mastermind
The operation lives and dies on the plan.
Coordinates the entire operation. Calls the approach, manages role assignments, and holds the payout authority. The Mastermind receives the largest base cut — and absorbs the most scrutiny.
What You Do
Directs role players during execution. Authorizes payout splits. Breaks vote ties.
Success Criteria
Operation completed without full bust. Crew exits intact.
Failure Impact
Indecision or miscommunication at critical decision points cascades down to all other roles.
Hacker
Everything digital bends to the right code.
Disables camera systems, bypasses electronic locks, loops security feeds, and provides real-time data on guard positions. In Quiet and Deception approaches, the Hacker is the operation's spine.
What You Do
Completes a timed digital access sequence during execution. Loops cameras for a fixed window.
Success Criteria
No alarms triggered. Security feeds compromised. Access points cleared.
Failure Impact
An incomplete loop or missed access window alerts the system. Heat spikes.
Enforcer
When the plan breaks, the Enforcer keeps it together.
Physical security, intimidation, and perimeter control. In Force approach, the Enforcer leads. In all approaches, the Enforcer handles unexpected resistance that other roles cannot.
What You Do
Manages physical threats during execution. Neutralizes guard encounters without triggering full alerts.
Success Criteria
Resistance contained. No public incident. Crew secure.
Failure Impact
Over-escalation draws police response. Heat spikes for the entire crew.
Wheelman
No crew survives without a clean exit.
Controls the approach vehicle and extraction route. Better vehicles and higher Garage stats mean cleaner extraction and lower final heat for the entire crew — not just the driver.
What You Do
Vehicle selection before the job. Executes the timed extraction during Phase 5.
Success Criteria
Full crew extracted under time limit. Heat reduction bonus applied to all.
Failure Impact
Vehicle failure or route block during extraction escalates heat across the entire crew.
Lookout
What you don't see is what kills you.
Monitors police frequency and patrol patterns in real time during execution. Provides early warning to the crew when pressure escalates, giving other roles time to adjust.
What You Do
Provides real-time alerts during execution. Warning calls extend the crew's reaction window.
Success Criteria
No surprise pressure events. Other roles complete without forced decisions.
Failure Impact
Missed warning means other role players face decision pressure without warning.
Fixer
The job before the job.
Manages logistics, contact networks, and bribery pipelines before and after the operation. Forged credentials for Deception approach. Post-op suppression of heat through contacts.
What You Do
Pre-operation: sourcing credentials, bribing contacts. Post-op: reducing heat via suppression.
Success Criteria
Approach cover maintained. Post-op heat reduced by Fixer's network quality.
Failure Impact
Blown credentials expose the Deception approach. Post-op heat reduction unavailable.
The Stakes
What You Win. What You Lose.
The distance between a clean run and a catastrophe is enormous. Both are real.
✓ Clean Success
You walk out rich, unnamed, and welcome on the next job.
! Messy Success
You get paid, but the city notices — and so does your crew.
✕ Bust
Nothing recovered. Heat everywhere. Trust burned all round.
