The Potato

A drained meteorite fragment wrapped in special shielding foil to prevent tracking. Roughly the size of a baked potato. Although it no longer grants powers (99% drained), it remains rare and valuable as a research material.

Acquisition

Xander, a scientist in the R&D department at the Voss Campus, offered it to Ronnie through Eric (the mess hall cook Ronnie had befriended). The initial asking price was $10,000; Ronnie negotiated it down to a 7% cut of whatever Ronnie could eventually sell it for.

Current Status

SOLD. During Session 03, Ronnie sold The Potato to Igor for $500,000, brokered through Rick Harrison at the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas. In exchange, Ronnie was promised the kill switch password for the Voss Combat Suit. The Potato is no longer in Ronnie’s possession.
