The Dossier

Part two of the handbook. One card per feature, written as the file the police keep on you, or the file the family keeps on the city. This is where the exact rules and formulas live. Every number comes straight from the game.
Part one, the basics in plain language, is in the handbook.
Hospital
What it is
Whoever hits the streets sometimes comes back on a stretcher. The hospital is a timer after a lost fight, after someone put you down or after a failed murder. As long as the discharge time is still in the future, the same street actions are frozen as in jail.
Where to find it
The detention bar above the game. A fight or a murder sets the timer.
How it works
Win an attack and the other player spends a while in the hospital.
Lose an attack and you spend a while there yourself.
If your murder fails, you spend a while there too. How long, the detention bar shows.
You can't play the casino. You can still change the limits of your own table. You can open Cars and Marketplace, but steal, sell, buy, repair, scrap, ship and upgrade stay frozen.
A bribe costs the same as in jail: $750 plus $25 per second you still have to lie there, from $1,000 to $20,000.
Worked bribe example: the button shows the price of this moment — $750 plus $25 per second you still have to lie there, within those limits.
Costs, returns and limits
If you're in a family, it helps. With family protection you lie there shorter when someone puts you down. The family's Jail bribes upgrade doesn't help here: in the hospital you always pay full price.
