B@d

B@d is an enigmatic netrunner mentioned in.

Overview
B@d tasks fixer Regina Jones to hire V|a merc to infiltrate Megabuilding H11 in Watson. B@d needs their malware uploaded to the building's computer in order to use it as smokescreen to attack an Arasaka subnet.

On the top of the communications tower on Forbes Street in Kabuki, the corpse of a netrunner called Watcher can be found. He carries an archived conversation in which b@d asks him to use their "sweet little program [...] to jailbreak the system in Kabuki". B@d adds that they are not able to physically jack into the tower themselves. Although b@d is concerned for his safety and tells him to be careful, Watcher is a big fanboy and more than willing to assist.

B@d also had dealings with the Wraiths. They passed information about a Maelstrom drug stash in Northside on to the Wraiths, who then raided the place. B@d also provided the Wraiths with a virus that they used to disable drones passing by Union Railroad in the Rocky Ridge region so that their cargo can then be stolen. However, as b@d allegedly "took them on", the Wraiths would use another netrunner to locate b@d's hideout. The bunker the Wraiths located south-east of Edgewood Farm in the northern Badlands was a trap containing a taunting message left by b@d and plenty of mines that killed the attackers.
