>First of all, where are descriptions of the different building (restaurant,
>bar, etc.) archetypes as listed in the Seattle sourcebook?

I'm not sure where they are. I think Sprawl Sites and NAGNA. Possible SR1 as
well.

>Next, if I wanted to find the Charles Royer Building or any other building for
>that matter, where on the map do I look?

Where it is. Not having any of the supplements, I have to ask if they list
the street address. If so, buy a map of Seattle and learn the town.

If you can't find out where it is, learn Seattle anyway and place it where
you think it makes sense.

>How tight is the security in the Charles Royer Building (Metroplex Hall)?

However tight you want it to be.

>Where in the Matrix would one find files on nearly every citizen in Seattle

That's tricky. IMO, information on people is very spread out. Their credit
history is on Dbase x, Vitals for identification on Dbase y, school record
on Dbase z, etc. Spreading out the information means the PCs have to do more
thinkwork in tracing the electronic paper trail everyone leaves behind.

>(I assume that Lone Star would have a good list, but only for criminals?)

Lonestar would have all the vital stats for identification (gene code,
fingerprints, DoB) as well as criminal history, known aliases, known
associates, and other info related to tracking people. They wouldn't
neccesarily have his school records, except for details that pertain to
or explain his criminal activity.

>And finally, (for now), how tight is the security on Lone Star files
>(including cases, person-by-person, etc.) in the Matrix?

However much you want it to be.

>Ooops, one other thing... how many City coucilmen are there and is there a
>listing of them? Thanks in advance,

I don't know if Srun lists them by name. If it doesn't or if you can't find
it, make it up-that gives you more control over the adventure.



Final Note: When making it up, don't worry about being 'wrong' compared to
today. Sixty years gives you a lot of leeway.
