OH, yeah. This is just begging you, as teh wonderful and benign GM that you
are, to make their lives a living HELL, and I say you have evry reason to.
Even in the Shadowrun world, where morals aren't exactly the most popular
trait for a runner to have, only the most ruthless, cold-hearted bastards
would view the death of 149 children that lightly. Have the corp offer a
LARGE bounty on the characters, dead or alive, and have evryone, including
contacts and friends trying to turn them in. This, if nothing else, will
teach them a little compassion for innocents, or at least not to kill in the
interest of self preservation...
