2000-5000?!? Yeek! That's a bit squalid! Err, how about somewhere on the
lines of 5-8K? Or do you just want public acxcess informaition?

my answer? as much as you (the GM) can possibly suck out of the
PCs/party's funds...if i pay them 10k for a run and they need to hire a
decker for a job, then i'd start with about 8k and let em negotiate...


also, i use the chart in the book that gives the value for datastores
(depending on the security of the system) as a guideline...if they want to
hire a decker to break into a red system and retrieve 5-7 mp of info, then
i start the fee at 5,000 and go from there...
