That Decker adventure gave me a spark. I was watching a preview for
that new animated series on HBO the other night and got a pretty neat
idea from it.

Someone is not happy with the delivery boys from the local food delivery
places. Delivery boys are turning up dead in their cars, on sidewalks in
front of houses and in elevators and stairwells. Someone snipes at one,
but misses, killing the person who happened to open the door at the
last unlucky moment of their life. The powerful and wealthy (or poor
but kindly) surviving relative feels that the police aren't doing what
it takes to catch the killer(s), so they hire the characters.

The neat thing about this is that the characters will be needing to
work along many of the same lines as the police, but will be vigilantes,
something that the police tend to frown upon (like they probably aren't
after the characters anyway...).

That's about as far along as I've thunk it. Comments? Flames? Adolation? :)

Well, if it was a pizza delivery thing, the players could dress up
as pizza delivery punks. The rigger would make his car a big red Pizza
Hut car with the little sign on top... The decker would do what deckers
do. The other chars would watch out for snipers... Maybe someone with
Combat Sense or Detect Enemies could do the delivery, and then it
would be fairly easy to spot the guy, unless he was crafty, which,
of course, he should be. It'd be a fun run.
