Update 1.0:
The narrative drive / theme can be found in the following ways:
- Buying the data pack / expansion and reading the inserts that are in them.
- Reading the transcribed inserts.
- Heading to Project Ancur:
- Selecting a data pack.
- Click the ‘Show Text’ button next to ‘Flavor Insert’ to show the flavor text.
Note: I don’t think all the data packs, such as the recent ones, have this option.
Thanks all =)
As I understand it, from the fluff in the core set, 3 hackers hack into Weyland, Jinteki and HB.
However, if I understand correctly, there is a thematic / narrative explanation behind the data packs and deluxe expansions, because I remember reading somewhere about Omar’s relation to the 23 seconds of havoc he created.
Does anybody know what the narrative drive is, or where I can find a time line or explanation?
Thanks a lot,

The only place I’m aware of is the data pack inserts. They have a story/theme running through them in the form of a one page write-up of varying quantity and quality. I’m not aware of any availability outside of the data packs themselves.

The first couple of cycles and deluxes were transcribed here, but yeah, for the rest I think one just has to buy the packs.

Useful link, thanks. Much appreciated.
Project ANCUR has more of them, I think, though they’re a bit harder to find. They’re on the page for each pack, under “flavour insert.”
Mumbad and Flashpoint were quite story-focussed, but the earlier cycles were a bit more loosely tied together.

I’ve still yet to check it out, but I imagine the Worlds of Android might be of interest to you.

You might also enjoy the Flavor and Fluff category on Stimhack. It’s mostly Running On Italics, a column reviewing individual cards’ flavor. There’s also a couple articles translating the Japanese on various Jinteki cards.
