Yeah, it's only one of the major hubs of the Pacific Rim. It's not like
anything really happens there, or that the big 8 don't all have corporate
hq's there or some kind of interest.
These _are_ two of the big 8's you want to mess with, and the big 8's
aren't big because they're management is stupid. And you don't get to be
the kind of exec who can move armies because your hotheaded enough to fly
off the handle and make what you _know_ to be career ending mistakes. It
just doesn't happen.
Your plot, IMO, just doesn't work. It's too world changing and too
noticeable. If you look at some of the other major plots that have
happened, if they deal with something major, it's not something that the
public notices. Brian Angliss's plot dealing with Maxim was big, but it
happened in Phenom Phen, Cambodia (hopefully I spelled all that correctly).
Dark Avengers plot deals with big, bad bugs and higher ups in gov't
agencies. But it's all done in secret and hushed up. No one notices. Not
even most Shadowrunners. You want to start a war in a major city in 2058
North America.
Speaking of Maxim, hasn't it been about a year since that happened?
