A bank robbery, a science fiction solo scenario that can be played out with opponents

This is a short 'learning' scenario. Whilst you can play it out, I've been through it, move by move to show how the rules, Hell by Starlight, work.

Looks like fun. I might go this way:

In the future, there may not be Cr 100,000 in cash in the tills. The robber with the best computer skills will have to use the bank manager's biometrics to get the bank's computer to transfer funds to accounts controlled by the robbers, while not leaving electronic traces for law enforcement (and the bank's loss prevention department) to find.

That's a nice touch. At some point they'd probably still want the cash if only because they're leaving the world
There's a lot of space for thinking when it comes to transferring money between planets and who guarantees currencies etc.

It has to be said that I feel the hawkmen were pushing their limits as it was. Used notes, non-sequential, they could cope with :-)
Their idea of biometrics would be holding his finger to the sensor, and on a good day the bank manager would still be attached :-)
