Our *Big Gun* characters have turned to the economic arena for more
challenge. With the money these guys have made in the past (even with the
30% *laundering* fee, they made a lot) they've delved into the business
community of Seattle. Now, they aren't big players by any means; the
companies are simply not big enough to have a tier rating; but they are
players.
And let me tell you, when the run you are doing is the preservation of you
own office building against a Corp strike team or bunch of shadowrunners, the
stakes feel really personal.
