Example of tic in use
Jon-R: Mmm, these are the best CruncheeTym
chips ever!
Kym-R: Why, citizen! It sounds like you’re
suggesting that CruncheeTym chips don’t have
proper quality control. Or that you’re better
equipped to judge chip quality than the
CruncheeTym chip quality assessors designated
by Friend Computer. Am I understanding you
correctly?

Background:

Spoiler:
You never planned to be a thief. You were
just being careful. Losing equipment is treason, so if
you can’t remember if something is yours, you’d better
take it, right? And if it doesn’t belong to you, you could
always sell it on the IR market for a few extra creds. But
you got caught wiggling through a ventilation shaft, and
only a bit of fast-talking got you out with your clone life
intact. Now you’re a registered mutant and The Computer
has its eye on you. But you also caught the eye of Free
Enterprise, and now you have a big career ahead of you
in merchandise resale.

As the equipment guy, you’re responsible for
maintaining all of the team’s equipment and bringing it
back safely. It occurs to you that if you’re smart, you can
find some way to abscond with all sorts of nifty gear
without getting caught.

SERVICE FIRM INSTRUCTIONS
Your service firm supervisor tells you, ‘There’s been a
rash of fires in several adjacent sectors. Analysis of the
fire damage indicates substandard fire protection; only
43% of the affected areas had functional smoke
detectors, in outright violation of Quality Standard
5598217HP/#30! Outrageous! You’ll be assigned a full
package of new smoke detectors. You’re authorized to
examine any smoke detectors you see and, where
necessary, repair or replace them.’

SECRET SOCIETY INSTRUCTIONS

Spoiler:

Your Free Enterprise contact tells you, ‘A new drug is
about to hit the market. The Sierra Club cooked it up out
of some Outdoors vegetable, and it makes people pretty
damn high. It’s going by the street name of ‘Dead
Mutants’. Here’s a few samples, so you can see what it
looks like, and maybe get an early start on finding some
buyers. Get hold of as much of the stuff as you can;
destroy the rest to boost the market price.’

Your Pro Tech contact tells you, ‘We’re testing out a
new bot personality mod that’ll really drag Alpha
Complex into the third century. Get hold of a docbot and
install this chip. Report back on what happens, then
remove the chip. Under no circumstances let it fall into
the hands of anyone from R&D or IntSec. Also, we’re
short on bot brains; if you find any lying around, be sure
to bring them back to us.’
