Events
Probably Stolen events
Probably Stolen events arrive two ways: the newspaper lists most of them with their price shifts, and the night log reports what happened while the shutters were down.
How to use this section
Site narration
Each event page collects the game's own lines about it, then points at the system that governs it.
Most events cost money rather than end a run: a market shift changes what a shelf is worth, a blackout kills the grid devices, and a break-in takes what was left outside.
Security events are the ones to watch: an inspection hunts contraband, and an investigation follows once enough crimes are suspected.
