Does anyone have anything against me creating a storyline centered around a
hit on some mid level corp bosses? These bosses would actually be from
several Corps.

You see, my idea is that they, the targets, would be part of a hidden
conspiracy. They will all be members of the Humanis Policlub. They are,
of course, out to waste as many metahumans as they can, without appearing
to. You know, deals gone strangley bad, more opposition than was supposed
to be at the target, that sort of thing.

I have a whole storyline worked out. I don't think it steps on anyone's
toes. I mean, it is not like mid level corp bosses dying would CHANGE THE
WORLD would it?

Questions? Comments???

Sounds like an interesting idea. While a reply is unnecessary, I suppose
your character(s) will have a good reason for knowing who the corpers are.

As corpers, they don't even have to hire runners to shoot people up. A
little "if your going to dump the waste, make sure you do it here, no Trog
momma's gonna notice if her baby comes out a little deformed, probably do
the kid some good" or placement of new businesses and initiatives such
that you only benefit predominantly human-populated areas, etc.

No, but sure as anything LSS is going to get pretty antsy when Citizens
with money start getting themselves splattered. Something to think about.

Nope. Faceless mid-level suits who've been replaced before they stop
twitching sounds fine to me.
