Yeah, sure, have him catch the next transport aircraft over to Chicago,
and he can jump out on a parachute, that way when Marathon and KitKat
catch him, it'll be too late <grin>

Seattle's not exactly a bug area, because of th elections, and a few
other things that fragged up the Brotherhood, but what makes you think
they don't exist in numbers, who's to say they haven't gone underground,
and now exist in the old storm drains and sewers..... FASA hinted
through a lot of modules about the intelligence of these creatures, and
how the Brotherhood had grown from teaching/taking down and outs, to
corp executives. Which seems to imply the bugs were capable of complex
planning and foresight. I would suggest that they are more extensively
integrated into society than some people believe.... He can have an
encounter, he just needs to be in the right place at the right time, and
after all, who's to say the bugs don't read Shadowtk, erm... Shadowland,
they have the ability and intelligence to cope, and if they themselves
can't, then hosts can... :)
There are a lot of different ways he can meet one of these strange
beasts, but unfortunately my mind is a temporary blank.... hmm. must be
a sign of not enough coffee, back later, I have to put the kettle on :)

Corp backgrounds are very useful for plot hooks, but they need to be
dealt with delicately, otherwise things can very quickly get out of
hand. I had planned a corp hook into one of the characters in the team
I'm running at the moment, but it would have had too heavy an influence
on SR in general, so I ditched it for something a bit more exotic and
not so defined. I think 90% of the other people here are corp
affiliated, at least it seems that way. <grin> (Bloody intelligence
community, they get everywhere...) :)

Yeah, that mouth of his, is likely to cause him some trouble, but then,
he's not alone :)
>Ideas are welcome! Thanks all!
Oh, ideas... damn, must have left my idea head somewhere else today,
sorry :)
