Answer 42.3a [PPL] - Rising Mem Star, Zane Retrojet
There's the newly signed highriser, Zane Retrojet. He's the ex-leader of The Cutters gang, though his media bio airbrushes this part of his history quite heavily. In between hitting exec apartments on the 63rd floor for original RepliSophont impressionist artworks and hijacking
Recollect shipments from moving light cargohovers crossing the harbour flyover with his heist crew, he was making a name for himself on the side as a monetised-platform urban guerrilla stunt vlogger. He's known for such escapades as buzzing the gap of the NeuroCorp Plaza, not once but three times, making even bigger fools of the U-Sec Plaza Detail each time. Now he's decided to go legit and signed on with a memmedia repping agency. His exploits, which were originally only released in AV format, are now hitting the
MyMemory top downloads lists across all market sectors, in a cunning move by one NeuroTech marketing VP that effectively put a leash on his embarrassing antics while netting a profit for the corp from them.
However, Zane has disappeared. He signed the agency contract with Nuevo Nostalgia Management, received the sign-on bonus, delivered a tranche of archival mems, but had not yet made a public appearance nor performed any of the stunts his management team had lined up for him. Of course, because of this, sales of his mems are rocketing.
