Heaven forbid that I should speak logically and end up over your head. It
isn't hard to do, obviously, as everything I stated was quite clear and in
pretty small words. There wasn't anything abstracted in that post at all.
So once again, you fail to get a valid point across, aside from teh fact
that any touch of logic blows your mind and gets you all uptight.
>So now you're claiming that you never said that any runner who

Can't handle that thread so you go back to my original reply. I still
wholeheartedly believe that if the runners are made known to the corp (in
any way) this has a strong possibility of happening, depending on
circumstances within the corp and how things went down on the run. If the
runners aren't known to the corp in any way, then it won't happen, because
it can't (simple logic). But the latter will be exceedingly rare due to
current security technologies. The corp will take the info it has on the
runners to the highest level possible (that's the bottom of the totem pole,
can't work your way up unless you start there). If the highest level
possible is "there were five of them, 2 probably orks, 2 probably humans,
and one who might've been an elf" then that's probably as far as it'll go.
If the highest level ends up around: "they were hired by this man, who has
contracted out work for S-K in the past" then more interesting stuff can
happen. Once you have the little guy, you can squeeze him and find out who
the next guy up is, repeat til nothing is gained. That is how things work.
Whether or no tyou kill the little guy is corp choice. If he's more useful
alive, then he lives. If he's more useful dead, then he's dead. All
depending on current situations.
I apologize to you in advance because I did in fact use words of more than
two syllables and strung them together to make sentences, which I then
strung together to make a point. I hope it isn't too difficult to decipher.
