# TP2 - S1 - Sequences
Sequence One
Suunto and Leon make their way through the less-reputable quarters of Imp-City at night. The ImpCorp residential high rises dominate the skyline and the growing city looks like a depiction of a retro styled future from the 1980’s. Suunto reflects on how when she last saw him, he was lost, broken and barely recognisable and Leon comments on his long journey back to himself in the abandoned town. Their openness, honesty and banter re-establishes their bond. Suunto reveals she has been unable to discover the identity of the client, but knows it involves ImpCorp. Leon is confused, as Suunto insists on knowing her client. This is an exception she has made for Leon. They get more information from the intermediary at the meeting tonight.

Ms. Penumbra is pleased by his involvement and entices him with her vague answer, but Suunto cuts off Leon’s chance to satisfy his curiosity in order to resume negotiations. Leon considers the offer of enhancements, but is unsure if he is willing to engage with them again. The last ones he had fed his deep diving and led him further from The Real. Leon must now find a way to deep dive, without losing control of his addiction and letting the team down again.

They leave and Suunto tells Leon he has to make peace with some members of the team tonight, as she is unsure if they will work with him again.

Character Arc
Leon is excited for his new chance at accessing ImpCorp and The Abstract, but also haunted by his recent past - to - intrigued about the possibilities of the job and intimidated and uncomfortable about having to confront his past mistakes with the team.
Moral Dilemma
Leon must consider whether he compromise the boundaries of his body to allow unknown surgery to take place in order to access The Abstract at the source. By doing so, he loses some of himself in The Real in order to move further towards his addiction and the risk of never coming back to The Real. It is a move towards accessing his memories, which he hopes will ground him in The Real, but to do so, he must move away from The Real, and make his journey back harder. Adding in more implants increases his ability to dive deeper, and increases the risk of losing his way back to The Real.
