Some will be reliable some will not.  I primarily want to use it as a story hook based around their character histories.  One character is a Monroe (I know that is spelled wrong It's late and the good Dr. name eludes me) so I thought that it might be good to have an organization looking to get their hands on her to further their own experiments with genetic alterations.  A problem here is dealing with capturing a pc.  I want to set out to capture a pc and make the others go and rescue them.  I don't really know how to deal with this.  I thought that I could have the player just make a temp character, but I don't want to give any hints and I don't want to leave them out either. Sorry I guess that the spell checker didn't catch that one.</blockquote>
