A New High
A-01
--------
There is a new high in the Sprawl. And guess what --- its actually a chemical.
The stuff is called Edge, looks like ruby dust, put it in the stimhaler and
shoot. This stuff is like LSD on LSD. Edge makes BTLs and other drugs look
like babyfood. After a hit of this stuff you're Arnie Awesome in a bad mood.
So whats the prob ? No one knows who is making the stuff. The Yaks, Rings,
Tongs, and Families are seriously pissed. Edge is cutting into their profits,
and they can't seem to find the source to stop it. Everybody they send out
comes back ritually mutilated. So what do they do ???? They hire the
characters to find who and what is behind Edge. Or Else.

Espionage
A-01
--------
The characters are urgently called by their most trusted Fixer. He
tells them that some very unusual Mr. Johnsons want to arrange a
meet. The Fixer looks jumpy and nervous as he gives them the
meet location and time.
Upon arrival the characters can tell that this shadowrun is "Big
Time". The Mr. Johnsons are very sharp. Their actions scream
special operations. Nor are the characters wrong in their asses-
ment. The Mr. Johnsons represent CIA-Rand Information Systems.
They want to hire the characters to "tag and bag" (locate and
kidnap) two troubleshooters from CIA-Rand's largest competitor -
KGB InteliSource.
A short while later the characters are approached by two other,
rather dangerous looking gentlemen. They also want to hire the
characters. These two gentlemen are from KGB InteliSource, they
want the characters to find and bring back two renegade agents
who have "defected" with some very important information. Bad
part is both corps want the same guys. What are they going to
do ?!?!?

Ascension of Power
M-02
----------
You have been invited to dinner... at the Murdered Mime. You know
what that is dontcha chummer... Yak territory. Your Mr Johnson is an
impecably dressed young japaneze male, sitting alone at a table. Speaking
in Cityspeak as if it was his native tongue he will explain that he needs
some wetwork done. He will provide the players with a complete dossier
on the target- another Japanese male. In fact, he will explain the target
is his own brother and yes, they are connected in some way, shape or form
to the yakuza.
He will offer the players a simple reason- his brother has elected
to deal with the Chinese Tongs, and if discovered by his oyabun, it will
bring great shame to his family. He wants his brother killed, and he wants
the Tong to take the fall for it.
The brother is well protected, having various bodyguards, both
magical and cybered. After the players wax the brother (hopefully), word
on the street will place the blame on them. Yes the Yak want the foolish
Gaijin who took down the son of the Oyabun.
Within hours, the runners will be found by a squatter. Or at least
that is what he looks like. It is your Mr Johnson. Those of a magical nature
will easily recognize that he is a follower of Rat. Ready for the next job?
He has been discovered- his father thought that he killed his brother out
of greed and a thirst for power. Now he is on the run and he needs the
runners to collect the evidence tying his brother to the Tong. He has no
money- he had to flee from his home. If the runners do it however, they
will be saving their own necks and he will owe them a favour. Not a bad
debt to have- from the future Oyabun of Seattle?
