There are certain armors that grant additional Hardness vs. it and others that can ignore ballistic Hardness but not piercing. * Restrained: a target to must make a Strength save vs. the DC or gained the Restrained condition. Struck targets must also make a Dexterity save, same DC, or be knocked prone by the effect. The target can make a new Strength save vs. the same DC but with a cumulative +1 to the roll for each additional turn it failed until he succeeds. Success ends the condition. Note that struck target must also remain prone for duration. Large creatures are +2 with the strength save, while Huge are +5, and larger are immune. * Stun: a ‘living’ target must make a Constitution save vs. the DC or gains the Stunned condition. The target can make a new Constitution save at the end of its turn vs. the same DC but with a cumulative +2 to the roll for each additional turn that it failed until it succeeds. Success ends the condition. Large creatures are +2 with this save, Huge are +5, and larger creatures are immune. NEW WEAPONS PROPERTIES* AP (Armor Penetrating): this weapon ignores Ballistic Hardness (not as Armor Piercing ammunition) and ½ base non-magical Hardness (against vehicles and materials the weapon must also have the Heavy Damage weapon property or it only affects personal Hardness).* Auto: this weapon has the Autofire option, expending 10 rounds each time it is fired this way. Autofire rules. Autofire Only weapons must always fire full auto and Heavy Autofire weapons must always fire full auto and use 20 rounds. Heavy Autofire has twice the area of affect (but still only deal base Auto damage when focused on each target). Switching modes between single fire and autofire mod takes 15ft of move during the attackers round. The weapon must have 10 rounds (20 for heavy auto) remaining and in the autofire mod to use this feature. * Burst Fire: This weapon can fire a three rounds burst of ammunition at once with an attack action. The shooter takes a -2 to its attack roll but adds +1d weapon damage to the damage if it hits (i.e. a SMG that deals 2d8+2 ballistic damage deals 3d8+2 instead). Switching between single fire burst-fire mod takes 15ft of move. The weapon must have 3 rounds remaining and in the burst-fire mod to use this feature.* DT: Double tap. This weapon can fire two rounds of ammunition at once, instead of one with an attack action. The shooter gets a -1 to its attack roll but adds +2 to the damage if it hits. The weapon must have 2 rounds remaining and in the single fire mod to use this feature.* Feed: a type of reloading ammunition. Feed means that the each round of ammunition must be loaded into the weapon, one at a time. Each round reloaded requires ½ your Move speed to load. If you spend your Action with your Move you can reload up to 6 rounds at a time. ‘b’ means a break load, where the barrel(s) are hinged much like a door and rotate perpendicularly to the bore axis to expose the breech for reloading; ‘i’ means an internal magazine, generally loaded through a breech at the top of the weapon’s barrel; ‘c’ is a rotating cylinder that between 4 and 6 rounds. Cylinder feeds can purchase a Speed-loader (see Firearm accessories below). Treat these as Magazines (see Reloads below). * Flame: these weapons can set targets on fire. First, this is an Area of Affect attack. Fire weapons can fire in a Cone (PHB pg. 204) out a number of feet depending on the weapon (see individual descriptions). Anything the target is struck must make an Intelligence save vs. 8 (12 for a heavy flamer) + your proficiency bonus (if proficient) + your Dexterity modifier for half damage. Failure means full damage and the target has caught fire. At the beginning of their turn (before they can act) the target suffers 2d4 fire damage. Each round the target can try and put themselves out as an action and making a Dexterity saving at the same DC. The target has advantage on the save if it falls prone to roll around on the ground. The fire is automatically extinguished if the target immerses themselves fully under water.  * Heavy: per PHB plus also applies to anyone with a Strength of 12 or less. * Heavy Damage: these weapons ignore Resistance from materials and vehicles. However the attacker suffer Disadvantage if it moves and fires one of these weapons in the same round.* Hold-Out: are small and easier to hide on one’s person. Character is considered to have Advantage on any Dexterity (Stealth) checks to hide such a weapon on themselves (under a coat, etc.). * Knockdown: If the damage from the weapon is enough to impose the Reeling condition the target is also knocked prone. * Loud: this weapon cannot be quieted by silencers, etc. * Painful: these weapons inflict massive pain onto living creatures with a successful hit. The damage from this weapon counts as double vs. the target’s Wound Damage Threshold but only to impose the Reeling condition (recovers normally).   * Reload: weapons with ammunition require time to reload the magazine clip. If the weapon only says reload it requires your Move to reload the weapon (except for bows and crossbow, then see PHB). If after the shots is listed an ‘m’ (magazine), p (powercell) and b (belt) each requires ½ your Move speed to expend and reload a new clip, cell or belt into the weapon; If you wish to also collect your empty clip or powercell (too recharge it later) it takes your full Move speed that round. Fuel tanks (like for flame throwers) are a special case and take 2 full actions to replace.* Shotgun (Shot/Flechette rounds): impact with tremendous force at close range but diminish rapidly further out. Within 15ft of the target add plus one weapon dice damage (i.e. 2d8 becomes 3d8, etc.) but they inflict only one die damage at long range (i.e. 2d8 becomes 1d8). * Silence: these weapons have built in sound and flash suppressors that offer superior baffling. In order to hear the ‘shots’ requires a Wisdom (Perception) DC 15 at disadvantage if within 15ft.  * Sonic: these weapons are extremely loud, especially to the target, dealing thunder damage. On a critical hit the target gains the Deafened condition for one minute. * Touch: this weapon requires a simple melee touch attack to hit and attackers gains +2 to melee attack rolls. These weapons do not add Strength or Dexterity modifiers to their damage or affects. * Undermount: These weapons can be mounted under the barrel of another firearm. Generally only under a rifle barrel. If mounted to another weapon you can switch between the two weapons as a free action and they occupy the same space.  WEAPONS can be purchased from the PHB but for four times the price listed in g.p. value in neyen (¥).

All have the Heavy Damage weapon property but they ignore the disadvantage of attacking when moving when mounted onto a vehicle. All weapon ammunitions, bombs and missiles count towards the vehicle cargo storage capacity, wherever it is stored within it. Bomb and Missile reloads numbers in parentheses is the number that can be carried per Weapon Mount. Heavy Autocannons and Light cannon use two weapon mounts, Heavy cannons use four. Bomb Bays use three weapon mounts, City Buster bays count a four. Heavy missile launcher mounts use two mounts. Count the weight of the mounting towards the vehicle’s maximum cargo capacity.  Advanced auto-loading systems mean that it takes no time to reload a tank cannon camber and the rounds are stored separately within the machine. See grenades for EMP effects, except that all vehicles and drones have a base save no matter their size.  Super-heavy weapons suffer disadvantage on all attack rolls verse Large sized targets or smaller. Ammunition for autocannons are 800¥ for 100 rounds and weigh 50lbs, heavy autocannons and anti-armor light cannon rounds cost 1,200¥ for 100 rounds and weigh 100lbs. Heavy cannon anti-armor rounds cost 2,000¥ for 100 rounds and weigh 500lbs.   Light and Heavy cannons can change their type to High-Explosive (price and weigh are the same). Add one weapon dice to the damage, change damage type to explosive and weapon properties Area of Effect 40ft for light cannons, or 60ft for heavy cannons, but lost the weapon dice multiplier (just base dice damage) and the Heavy Damage weapon property. They both have a DC 15 dexterity save for half damage (so a light cannon high explosive would deal 5d12 explosive damage with weapon properties – Area of Effect 40ft/DC15).  Even if the character has Evasion, they would still suffer minimum damage with a save. Block Buster high explosive bombs cost 1,000¥ and weigh 40lbs each while City Buster high explosive bombs cost 8,000¥ each and weigh 200lbs. No matter the size all require a Dexterity save DC 15 for half damage. Even if the character has Evasion, they would still suffer minimum damage with a save. For ½ the price and weigh can change their type to EMP with the Intelligence save DC 20 in an Area of Effect twice the base listed. Deals minimum damage in basic area of affect with a Dexterity save DC 15 for half damage.   Light Missiles cost 750¥ and weigh 25lbs each, Medium Missiles cost 2,500¥ and weigh 50lbs each, and Heavy Missiles cost 6,000¥ and weigh 100lbs each. All are High Explosive standard and use the same Dexterity save DC 15 as with bombs (see above). For HEAT missiles, prices are twice as much but weight remains the same. They add AP and Heavy damage weapon property while halving the Area of Effect. Add +2d12 to the base damage. Underwater or water based missiles are called torpedoes but otherwise cost and function the same. They can also be fired by specialized weapon mounts on Aircraft.  Autocannon: 20mm Gatlin cannon (Military).

If you do not have Line-Of-Sight on this AOE this is an indirect attack, meaning that it can be thrown or fired over osculates or into area that the attacker cannot see. The range remains the same. However if you cannot see the target area, then chooses a space where the explosive will land if any targets are within the area treat as if they were invisible and gain Advantage on their saving throws. All ranged explosives and grenade-like weapons have two range increments. Within the first increment use the standard AOE attack as above. For long range attacks (the second increment) all targets within the affected area gain Advantage on their saving throws vs. the affects. If this attack is also an indirect attack (see above) then the targets also gain Resistance to any damage dealt by the attack. This stacks with 1/2 damage from a successful save.  Hand grenades still count as Simple Weapons for proficiency and are thrown with a base range of 30/60ft.  Grenade Launchers have a range of 100/500. These grenades must be specially made to be fired from a grenade launcher. They cost twice as much as a normal grenade of the same type. These type of grenades have the two setting as normal grenades but they can also be set with air-burst. This allows the weapon to explode in the air where the operator can still see and ignore the indirect penalty if the attacker wishes (he still has to guess where the weapon is going to explode; Resistance can still apply per situations as describe above). This requires a DC 10 tool use check to set property and always requires 15 feet of movement.  Concussion: light explosive using air pressure as well as shrapnel to disrupt enemy lines.

Fine is about the size of an insect, tiny a bird or cat, small a child, medium an adult metahuman, large an average troll and huge a car. The number in the parentheses is the weight capacity total that the drone can handle in built in gear and sensors, weapons, etc. Note that with Attribute boost (Strength), each level adds 10% to the drone’s capacity total (round to the nearest).  Cost: drones price new, in ¥. Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma: base Strength and Dexterity for a drone’s size. All drones automatically start with a base Intelligence of 12, Wisdom of 10 and Charisma of 6. Prof: drone’s basic proficiency bonus.Save: additional save type the drone has proficiency in. Speed: the basic speed of a drone. Note that drones act as vehicle and can travel much faster in non-combat. Drones without legs, etc. have no ground speed. AC: basic armor class without Dexterity bonus added on. HD: basic Hit Dice of the drone.HP: base number of Hit Points. Battery: the drone’s operation time on a fully charged battery. Special: any special abilities base on the drone’s size.  PROPULSIONBasic Propulsion Types as Vehicles (except Turbo-Sonic see GM section on Vehicle Builds) with all features and modifiers (ignore Advanced Controls. Also ignore minimum size for Drones). Round any reduces to HD/HP the nearest (this often means for smaller aircraft they loss no HD/HP) and ½ any recharge time for medium and smaller. For runway/landing divide the distance by ½.  Aircraft, Bird Wing: Fine and Tiny size only. This system allows the drone to fly like a bird, allowing for enhanced disguise. Three times base cost and Fly speed. MPH are double feed Speed. Can hover, no minimum speed or runway.Aircraft, LTA (Lighter-Then-Air): One-half base cost and lower speed by -5ft. MPH are base feet Speed. Triple battery life. Lower AC and Hardness by 1 and lower Strength by 4 points and Dexterity by 2 points (and the capacity is halved). Reduce HD/HP to ¾ and lower unarmed attack by 2 dice steps, minimum 1pt.  Rolling: maximum size Small. A self-rolling system of propulsion. Base cost and increase Speed by +5ft. Cannot handle going up stairs and difficult terrain cost three times the movement. Increase operating time by +2hrs. Walker: Twice base cost and increase Speed by +10ft. MPH is base feet Speed. Add one hour to recharging time for same operation time.  BASIC DRONE CONSTRUCTION AND UPGRADES Most upgrades for drones work exactly like vehicle upgrades but with the following exceptions – drones cannot take Advanced Control and already included basic AI. Some upgrades work a bit differently...  Arm-Actuator Lifters: These are simple armor that can lift cargo of willing creatures. Assume a carrying/life capacity of the vehicles size and strength (i.e. a Large drone with a 20 strength can “lift” 320lbs with a maximum of 640lbs. If used for attacking the roll is at disadvantage. Cost ¼ vehicle base cost, Wt. one-tenth vehicle weight towards capacity.   Armor Upgrade: Enhancing the armor plating of a base drone (Restricted). Cost and effect as vehicles. Two levels counts as Medium armor (disadvantage to stealth and max Dex bonus of +2) while four levels counts as Heavy armor (no Dexterity bonus, penalties still apply). Drones are automatically proficiency with the armor types with the upgrades. Fine drones cannot take this upgrade, Tiny and Small can handle 2 levels, Medium and Large can handle 3 levels and Huge can handle 4. Armor also counts towards the drones capacity, weighing 2lbs a level for tiny,  5lbs a level for small, 10lbs a level for medium, 15lbs a level for large and 20lbs a level for huge.  Animal Form/Disguise: This drone has been designed to appear to be some kind of animal or insect.  Requires an action and a Perception check DC 15 to realize that it is a drone. Cost 2,000¥ up to Small size, 10,000¥ for all others. Built-In Tools: Standard tool kits or Gear (GM approval). Cost is the tool kit cost +100% and its base weight counts towards drone’s capacity. Combat Tracking Software I & II: Advanced tracking software installation (Restricted). Cost 1,000¥. Level II 5,000¥. A drone’s tracking software can be upgrade to add +2 equipment bonus to its ranged attack damage. For level II the damage is upgrading to a +4 equipment bonus with ranged attacks. Expertise: with any one skill or tool or vehicle that the drone is already proficient with. Cost 2,000¥ each. Low-Profile: Walker drones only. These specially designed drones are built to “hug” the ground and make them hard to target with ranged weapons. Attackers suffer disadvantage with ranged attacks against this drone. Cost ½ base vehicle base cost, including the walker cost increase. Max size medium. Proficiencies: skill or tool proficiency for the drone. Cost 500¥ for one mental Skill (Int, Wis, Cha) or Language, Cost 1,000¥ for one physical Skill (Str, Dex) or any one Tool set. 1,500¥ for any one Vehicle proficiency. Reinforced Chassis: Cost and affect as vehicles. Fine drones can take this but it only moves the drone to HD 1, and HP 10 (for 1lb towards its capacity). Has the same weight are Armor Upgrade that counts towards the drone’s capacity. Resistance: drone gain resistant to one nonmagical (AP) type of damage. Cost 10,000¥ each type of damage (bludgeoning, piercing or slashing). Has the same weight are Armor Upgrade that counts towards the drone’s capacity.Sensors: built in sensors. As any hand sensors or audio and visual enhancements built in, double the cost and its base weight counts towards the drone’s capacity (for enhancements assume each level counts as ¼lb in weight).   Target Acquisition: Targeting software installation. Cost 2,500¥. You can update a drone’s targeting system in this way once, so that now it re-rolls any 1s or 2s that it rolls on ranged attack damage dice. It must accept the result of these rerolls though.  Target Scanner: Targeting scanning software installation. Cost 5,000¥. You can update a drone’s sensor systems in this way once, so that now it scores a critical hit with ranged attacks with a 19 or 20 (so long as the 19 still hits the target). Voice Modulator: Speakers have been installed within the drone allowing it to communicate verbally. Drones can only use fairly simple sentence structure though. Cost 500¥.Wall-Crawling: Max small size drones. Walker propulsion only. Grants the drone the ability to walk on walls like a bug. Cost ½ the vehicle’s base size cost, Climb speed 20ft. Weapon Mount: Cost 500¥, Wt. 1lb for a light firearm; costs 1,000¥, wt. 2lbs for a heavy firearm, cost 4,000¥, wt. 8lbs for a heavy weapon, and cost 12,000¥, wt. 24lbs for a super-heavy weapon. Fine drones cannot handle any weapons, Tiny can handle one very light weapon, Small can handle two light or one moderate weapon, Medium can handle four moderate weapons or two heavy weapons, Large can handle up to six moderate weapon or three heavy weapons, while a Huge drone can handle ten moderate weapons or five heavy weapons or two super-heavy weapons. Increase the weapon’s cost by +20% for the updated systems to install the weapon. This extra weight counts towards the drone’s capacity.Weapon Proficiency: allows the drone to add its proficiency bonus to a mounted weapon attack. Simple and Martial weapons costs 500¥ each, Light and Heavy Firearms cost 1,000¥ each, Heavy weapons cost 1,500¥ and Super-Heavy costs 2,000¥.  ADVANCED UPGRADESEnhanced Programming: Can grant a feat.

Reduced Cargo Space: decrease the base cargo space by 25%; Cost reduce of one-eighth the base vehicle cost. Can be taken four times total, each time decreasing the base cargo space by 25% down to 0 (at 4 levels) for the same amount of cost reduction (for no cargo, reduce the base vehicle cost by ¼). Instead of reducing cost can increase cargo size by 250 lbs per passenger removed. Reduced Gas Tank/Battery: for ¼ the basic operating time reduce the vehicles base cost by one-fifth, including propulsion modifiers to cost. For ½ the basic operating time reduce the vehicles base cost by 1/4, including propulsion modifiers. Reinforced Chassis: heavy reinforcements.

Each level adds +5ft to the base speed times propulsion types. Cost is ¼ the base vehicle cost, including the propulsion types increases.  Stealth System: Chameleon skin, heat bafflers, radar scramblers and other advancements grant the vehicle advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) rolls and can even try and hit without cover (but then at normal check, no advantage). Cost is double the base vehicle cost, including propulsion modifiers to cost.Submersible: Cost is double the base vehicle cost, including propulsion modifiers to cost. Adds the Watercraft feature to any vehicle when running on the surface. When running underwater halve speed. Increase speed cost as Watercraft but the numbers are halved when the vehicle is running underwater.

It takes an action to deploy a hidden mount to allow it to fire on the following action. Cost is three times the basic weapon mount cost. TBD[/sblock][sblock=How to run Shadowrun in a PBP?]Something I encountered trying to run Shadowrun here a few years ago was that the game REALLY bogs down during planning and legwork. There are just too many options for players on what to look into, bouncing ideas around, plans and strategies they might consider, etc.  How this will work is following something done by Blades in the Dark a ‘powered by Apocalypse World’ RPG system. In this game players take on the roles of rogues and hucksters in a big urban fantasy thieves’ guild. In that game you start out with “Planning & Engagement” where the crew (the heroes) huddle around flickering lanterns in their lairs to plot, scheme, bicker about the best approach, lament the dangers and lust about the coins to come. But the players don’t have to do the nitty-gritty planning. Instead the heroes take care of that off-screen and instead they choose a type of plan they have already made. The types of plans there are include – “Assault”, “Deception” or “Stealth” to name a few. The type of job or plan they make is based on the basic “Details” of the job. In Shadowrun this would be the Mr. Johnson’s job offer. The heroes would get to ask some initial question and negotiate their fee and then very quickly after that we would go straight to the action.  Now what happens if they get into the action and discover they are missing a key piece of information or piece of equipment or they did not plan for something that they logically could have thought up beforehand. My solution is something called ‘Exploits’. These are group generation options where you can retro-edit a scene in the middle of the game. Instead of spending lots of time depending and hashing over your plans for hours (or months on PBP) the character get their mission and then the very quickly jump into the action. If, later in the game, they come upon a situation they are not prepared to handle one of the players can use an Exploit, make a skill check (depending on what they want to do, etc.) and if they succeed, spend the group point and adjust their actions according.  “We had a plan for that” is when the group can edit something that is happening in the present by saying they planned for it during the off-screen planning part of the adventure. This could be buying some extra gear before the advance or having some plan. Basic edits might be worth only 1 exploit point and require a low DC skill check. Higher, more complex ones might require 2 or even 3 points with a higher DC check. Another exploit will be “What did my contact say about that?” Legwork is another area I feel the game can get really bogged down in as the players ask different questions and many of them having nothing to do with the case/adventure at hand (sometimes as they get off on a tangent or mislead, etc.) So the heroes can spend an Exploit to gain some legwork information of their present situation by saying they did all this work before the action. After all, in Shadowrun the Mr. Johnson almost never is telling the truth or giving you all the information. You are a ‘denial asset’ after all and it would not be good for the bottom line if you divulged sensitive information to the wrong party.  Exploits are going to be generated by the group’s size and the level of danger that the mission is. Not to give too much away during some adventures the GM might say that the Mr. Johnson assumes the party that the job is a ‘Milk Run’ and not that dangerous. The GM assigns the party 1 exploit per party member because of this but knows that there are some complications built into the game that the party will run into fairly shortly and when that happens informs them of this but bumping up the Exploit total.  Exploit Points depend on the basic adventure danger level…* Milk Runs – easy job with low level of overall danger (unless the group screws up). 1 Exploit points per party member.* Low Danger – moderate or average danger levels for your typical shadowrun team. 2 Exploit points per party member. * Dangerous Job – a fairly tough job with some high risks involved for the team. 3 Exploit points per party member.* Extreme Danger – high levels of danger and risk (to either life or freedoms). 4 Exploit points per party member.  HOW THIS ALL GOING WORK?Mr. Johnson hires the team. He gives them a basic mission spiel and offer of cash payout. This will set a basic ‘mission type’ (blow up some center at night would be an ‘assault’, sneak into area and plan evidences, don’t get caught might be ‘stealth’ etc.) that gives the team their basic ‘plan or mission’ type and the basic number of Exploit points.   The heroes maybe ask some question and/or negotiation extra cash or equipment rewards. After that the heroes each get to make one or two contact rolls (Gather Information vs. their Contact type) for any extra basic information they might get. The heroes should have their basic load or equipment already on hand and picked out. If they want something extra they can purchase or attempt to find it (with a roll) now and add it to their sheets.   Then we move into the action. The GM gives them the basic set up of where they are and what is happening for this mission. If there is a complication that is somewhat outside their control (like say someone already knows about the Mr. Johnson’s actions and is trying to stop it and already knows about the heroes) this can be where the action starts instead. Say the heroes are heading towards the start of the mission and are about to get ambushed (maybe making a roll vs. Passive Perception) and then “Roll Initiative”. Or if in the middle of the adventure comes up that a contact might have pertinent information the player can ask the GM “Hey my contact X might have had some info on this, can I have contact him?” If it makes since the GM gives the character a normal contact roll, pays the cash to his contact based on that roll and the GM gives them whatever they might have known. Now the player has the info and it can be assumed that everyone heard about it from the player and can act accordingly. Or one of the heroes pipes up saying he wants to do something or to have planned for a percent situation or maybe wants to have picked up a piece of gear and forgot so can he say he purchased it already? Or wants to gain some background of a person or area or situation with past legwork.  The GM then provides a roll, depending on the situation. Some examples…(a) The group is sneaking into a place. The job did not say to totally avoid collateral damage etc. and the team spots a pair of barghest guard dogs outside the facility they are breaking into. They don’t want to take the chance that the dogs howls might attract the guards so one of the heroes says “Hey could I have purchased some of those ‘stummer-sound wave jammers’? I think they should be able to mask these dogs howls for us to take them out and not alert anyone! The game sees that the stummer is not restricted or illegal and just costs money. The character could use one of his ‘edits’ to have the stummer on hand and ready to go.  (b) Or the heroes are breaking into a facility and forgot to bring wire-cutters when they encounter a chain-link fence. Its’ also electrified. Someone could use an edit to have remembered to grab a pair of ‘grounded’ non-conductive cutters and just pay the money now. (c) Or the heroes are sneaking down an interior hallway and see a check point ahead that also has a big gun emplacement in front of it. While the rigger is attempting to hack the security system that controls the gun itself, one of the other heroes might ask if he could have planned on using the ventilation system at some point to get closer to one of the guard posts unnoticed. The GM had said that the ventilation system was too small to crawl through earlier. But the runner had studied the schematics and noticed that at this point there was an older design or something similar and it was big enough to get through here. The GM might give the runner a Dexterity (Stealth) check DC 15 to be able to use this edit in this situation. Failure means he can’t use this edit in this situation as the building had been updated since the runner saw the plans or if he makes it by +5 or +10, not only does he get the edit but he is able to sneak closer than he had asked for or that more of the team could his lead, getting a bonus on a group Stealth check, etc. (d) Or the heroes are fleeing the corp with security hot on their tail. The team spotter notices some flashing Lone Star cruisers heading this way. She asks if she can use one of her edits to have bribed the local Lone Star Sergeant to be slow on any responses to calls to this neighborhood. The GM asks how much the bribe might be and then gives the runner a Charisma (Persuasion) based on that. If she succeeds she deduces the cash and notices that they are a few blocks off and that they don’t seem to be in too great a hurry and have slowed for stop-lights, etc. Failure might mean that the cops are little closer and that Sergeant is in the lead car with a pissed off look (maybe he is honest or he is pissed the offer was so low, etc.) (e) Or the team is breaking into an Ares’s facility in the Barrens, looking to steal some research into a prototype laser weapon system that Ares is supposed to be testing here. Inside the Decker stumbles across some files on a new germ-warfare treatment that Ares is testing for the Confederate States Marine Corp to combat some flu strain they discovered in the Caribbean League recently in the Narco-Wars with the Cartels there. One of the team members has a Street Doc contact and she asks “Hey my Street Doc use to do research in germ theory, can I have asked him about any ‘super-flus’ he might have heard about coming from that area?” The GM knows that the Mr. Johnson wants this research also ask his corporation is developing the flu weapon and wants to know how far along Ares is in developing a vaccine. He had told them to steal any and all research they stumble upon at the facility in the hopes they stumbled onto it also. He did not want them to know this of course but with a good contact roll the runner learns from her Street Doc contact that there was a corp by the name of NewGenics, that is based in Aztlan, was working on something similar and that the doc had heard rumors that the corp was partially funded by the drug cartels in the nation as well. This could have an interesting impact on how the heroes proceed.[/sblock]</blockquote>
