If a player is arrested at the end of a mission they will be stripped of all items and cyberware they are not permitted to have. (Forgery check will be made to see if they spot forged permits, this will be rolled against the individual permit)
They will be set to have a bail of 10% of the unlawful items they were caught with, to a minimum of 100. This will need to be paid before they are released.
They will be deducting 20 DT from their total DT score upon release.
If they do not have the requisite DT, these will be deducted from future DT at a rate of 1 per mission.
Remaining 'owed' DT can be expended at any time to end this.

Death:
What happens to all the gear, weapons armor and money I have if the character dies, can I leave it to other characters? You cannot transfer items you owned while alive to others after your death. The greedy government/gangs proceed to confiscate everything your character previously owned, to use to fuel the ever growing and dying economy of the city. If you were in any RP scenes before your death, do feel free to write them out to the finish. Do feel free to head to the Graveyard channel and write a post about your character's last scene, or last words from their agent to their Choomba’s out there.
Retirement:
Retirement of a character is permanent.
But it does grant some bonus to your next character on what your character has achieved in its life.
