Dude, that is one hellacious strike team you have at your command. I really
dont want to think of what might happen if we decided to give up this
security shit and just start hiring ourselves out as problem elimination.
Ya see, why bother with sending only part of the team to do a job? Send
everyone to ensure success on the first attempt.

Speaking of security:

Someone mentioned something a while back about magically activated
sentry drones. Is there a write up about that anywhere? For obvious
reasons, Serenity would love to get ahold of one so we could figure out
how best to defeat one. Does Ares sell it?

InterPol:

I use interpol in my campaigns as well. They are, in my world, a
set of law enforcement agents that work WITH the corps for dealing with problems
that span multiple jurisdictions world wide.

The way Drake would work in my opinion would be that he is a special
agent in the field. He radio's in where he expects to need to go and a host
of deckers / communications experts / PR people start making sure they
arent going to start stepping on toes and, if they are, smooths it over as
best they can. There would end up being a lot of wheeling and dealing behind
the scenes between interpol and the corps he is walking through for "favors"
to be cashed in at a later date.

They dont NEED a local enforcement to be there to make the arrest but
they tend to want them there. Ya see, you DONT want to start pissing on
other agencies. Your productivity will drop amazingly when the local talent
gets annoyed that you are pissing in their pool and not playing fair.

In my games I tend to use InterPol mostly at the upper ends (when
runners have been doing the biz for long enough to have been caught once or
twice or have people annoyed at them) of the campaign runs. I guess they keep
the multijurisdictional information as well (other agencies pay fees to interpol
for information when they need it).
