Subject: Hi, chummers!

While reading some discussions on plot-lines, I had a couple of ideas...

1. Nukes.
In the late 1970's, there were some talks on developing a nuclear programme in Korea.
Unfortunately and untimely, a prominent Korean scientist who had been working in US was
killed in an accident before he could come back to Korea...
(Get an idea? Some said that it was not an accident, but an operation by CIA or some
sort....)
You can make it a body guard operation, or a hit on the scientist, or an investigation of
the murder, etc..

2. Seoulpa gang.
In the SR2, after the part of Yakuza, Seoulpa gang was mentioned. How about gang war?

Unfortunately, there is no SR session near me...So I cannot do it myself. Anybody around
who lives in Korea?

p.s. This was my first posting, so don't flame me even if there were some mistakes I
made. ;-)

We had the nukes discussion last week :) We came to the conclusion that
North Korea would be able to make nukes, so you're going in the right
direction (I take it you're in South korea, right? :)

Seoulpa gangs are a bit unstable, so gang wars could be very well possible.
I think that's one part of the Seattle underworld that FASA has pretty much
ignored. All we ever hear about is the Yakuza, and they're the only ones
that show up in modules. Nearly never anything on Seoulpa rings...

I think you're the first...
