Subject: Run Idea (Screwing with their heads)
Date: Sun, 8 Jun 1997 17:33:01 EST
Here's a moderately evil run idea I had...

Background: Person A at a corp is being shown up by Person B. He
wants to get some intelligence on Person B's project so he can stay
ahead.

Runners are hired to get some knowledge on the status of Person B's
project. BUT, little to no destruction. Person A wants this
intrusion undetected, or at least no to the level that ANY suspicsion
would fall on him.

Finding out what person B is working on is pretty difficult: All the
files are heavily iced, and the critical ones aren't on the Matrix.
Security in the area is pretty heavy. A few watchers with elemental
backups patrol the lab area, and the lab itself is immune to entry
because the walls have some sort of aura....

This is, of course, the trick. The players will kill themselves
trying to figure it out, when in truth the "secret" project is the
room itself. PErson B is developing a form of Fungus that grows in
the walls, creating an astral barrier. Looks much like a normal
wall, and is perfectly happy as long as it is sponged down with a
nutrient solution every night. How long would it take YOUR runners
to figure out? :)

let me know what you think.
