Most detectives, maybe, but not Albert P. Donnybrook. A decker
presumably has to buy a deck and programs at character creation. When I
made Donnybrook, I gave priority A to resources, and spent 910,000 nuyen
of it on contacts. He has over fifty contacts of various levels. You
need info? He's yer man.

Aside from which, he's not a shadowrunner (yet). Not only does he use
his real given name and SIN, he has a registered, fully legal pistol
permit. This is gonna be fun...
