:;)

My players once had a mission that was going to probably leave a large
bodycount, so they decided to go into the organlegging business. They
drove to the site in a *refridgeration truck*. 2 of the characters ran
around the place picking up bodies on a stretcher and chucking them in
the back. They might have got a nice tidy sum if the truck hadn't caught
fire... It was an interesting salvage operation though.

The first time any of my players did this was with a new team I GM'd a
couple of years back (prior to that, none of my players had really
considered the idea). The street sam went and bought an esky at the start
of the run. Then went and bought some party ice later...

[Tormentor was up to the same tricks when I played him last too...]
