I walk into the sleazy bar, dressed completely out of place. Most of
the patrons of this establishment wear leather, real or synthetic,
whereas I am dressed in a blue business suit. Sunglasses cover my eyes,
even in this dimly lit room.

I walk to an empty table against the wall. Setting my briefcase next
to my chair's leg, and against the wall, I turn to watch the door.
Some waitress walked up to take my order, but I wave her off. She
smiles knowingly and heads back to the bar, whispering to the bartender
and pointing out where I am sitting. All standard procedure, though I
do not crack a smile at this fact.

A half an hour later, after being subjected to ugly women stripping for
the patrons and plenty of lousy music ringing in my ears, my attention
is drawn to the group entering the bar. My hopes are quickly dashed as
the group numbers ten. I let out a small sigh as my instincts tell me
these are the people I am to meet.

As I was assured, instead of just looking for the out-of-place man in
the strip club, they go and ask the bartender where I am sitting.
Thanks to the waitress earlier, he points in my direction. I sit up
straighter, and get my tie aligned properly as the massive group
approaches my table.

I evaluate the group as they come closer. Two trolls, both with as much
cyberware as possible without being a mindless zombie, are behind the
group. A couple of elves, a dwarf, and five humans comprise the
rest. One elf and the dwarf both wear runes over their clothing,
pointing out to all that see them that they are hermetic mages. One of
the humans wears talismans all over her clothing, making her out to be
a shaman of some sort. I wish I can show my disgust, but I am a
professional.

The group pulls up chairs, virtually surrounding me. Immediately, the
two hermetics zone out, going astral to see my aura and to look for
magical bodyguards. They do not find anything except my headware, I am
sure, so I do not care. They do not think about possible mundane things
in these situations, only the magical.

Their appointed leader starts, "I hear you have a job for us."

I turn to him, "Yes. An extraction, it will be friendly. I am
authorized to pay no more than 150,000 nuyen."

The elf without symbols suddenly pipes up, "We don't work for less than
30k a piece."

Next, one of the trolls says, "I say we ask 50k a person."

Thankfully, with my sunglasses on, they cannot see my eyes rolling
upwards. I remind myself to stay calm, as the leader shushes the now
multitude of voices piping up their opinions. He turns to me, "We will
do the job for 300,000 nuyen." His hand shoots up to stop any
complaints from his team, "I apologize but that seems to be the
minimum we can accept."

Now comes the part of the job I dread the most. I should not hire these
amateurs, but when it gets to this point, I need to do so unless they
get too ridiculous with their demands. 300,000 nuyen is within my
budget for this group, so I just nod and pull my briefcase up to the
table. My thoughts stray a bit, as I know two things. First, this money
is going down a rathole. Second, I am going to have a personal talk
with the fixer that recommended this group to me.

I pull out six certified credsticks, each rated at 50,000 nuyen. I hand
them over to the leader, as I pull out a folder. "All the relevant
information is inside this packet," I say, as I place it on the table.

I just barely get the words out of my mouth before the group starts up
again, this time discussing strategies and plans. Considering they
have not even seen the information in the folder, how they are coming
to their conclusions astounds me. In addition, probably half of the bar
is in hearing range, more if they have cyberears or clairaudience
spells running. So, probably a good twenty others hear the group
overtly discussing an illegal operation.

I stand. I have had enough of being seen near this group. Walking out,
I slip another credstick to the bartender, for the use of his
facilities for my business.

Stepping outside, I light a cigarette. This is the signal for my car to
pull up. I get inside the limousine's back seat and reach for the
secure phone. Picking it up, I immediately speak, "Prepare another
assignment. Actually, two more assignments. First, find another fixer
and get another team to do the job when this group fails. Someone who
is actually professional. Second, prepare the elimination squad, as
this group, even if they pull off the extraction, is going to finger
us as being the ones who hired them."

I hang up the phone and lean back in the seat. Chuckling to myself, I
muse at the fact that though runner teams like I just met dick us over,
and cause us to have to eliminate them; it is myself who is called Mr.
Johnson.

until this point I'd expect him to change his opening bid of 150,00 to
20,000, and maybe let them talk him up to 50,000. And I'd expect him
to do this grudgingly, hoping that they might be able to pull the job
off. Or, I'd expect him to blow them off completely, handing them a
bogus info packet and "promise" to transfer the money to their account,
after which he'd leave the bar and call the fixer to have a word with
him.

I had the exact same feeling from reading the story (thanks for the
reminder David)

I guess he could cancel the stick numbers and thus not pay them at
all. but it may be far too late for that by the time he gets around to
it. The story seems fun other than that oversight. From what I read, I
cant understand why the J would give these morons any info or money at
all. Better he gives then a letter bomb in the package and saves
himself and the rest of the running community a lot of trouble

Or, his eyes could light up as he has finally found a team stupid enough to

team assigned for the real mission <EG>.

Don't ask me why the Johnson still paid out. Why, might you say? Because
this incident actually occurred during a game session, and yet the
players were still paid by the Johnson.

There was actually 12 people on the team, not 10. I was at another table
with another of the team the whole time.

<grin> A story based on a fictional event that happened in RL. That's a
first.

Okay, as far as a RL gaming session goes I'll take it at face value.
Lord knows I've played in plenty of games where we (the players) got
away with some pretty stupid things :)

However, as fiction I think it would work better as a spring board for
a short story, changing the deal with the Johnson to reflect something
that should have happened. As a reader who's played a lot of Shadowrun I
figured this was a reflection of a RL event. But a clueless reader would
wonder why the Johnson was wasting money.

In case you want to re-write it, here's some ideas that burbled in my
head. You could have a lot of fun with the characters as they bitch
about how, "this isn't what it's like in the Trids." Maybe trim the
team down in the first combat, to the 4-5 core characters as they learn
to become real runners. Then maybe end the whole story by the ones
that are left getting hired for a second job by the same Johnson and
his mental comments on how proffesional and smart they are.

Man, I wish I coulda seen that. Did the team manage to complete the
adventure on their own, or did the GM bend over backwards again to
accomodate them?

I got the impression that the challenges are issued to keep us writers

they're limitations. If you want to write a story based on a bad RL SR

AFAIK, there isn't a FAQ for SRFanFic yet. My personal request is, "no

Dvixen holds the Rabid Woodchucks back with a firm grip. "Nope, ol pal, the
FAQ for SRFanFic existed the day I got permission from Mark to have this
