Do it. Let'em suffer. They call 'emselves Shadowrunners? I know at least one
Seattle based team that would go out -even without being paid- and off 'em.
Have 'em watch crying parents on Trid who offer their whole live-time savings
as reward, too (say, Corp offers 20KY, and a single mother another 2.500Y -
had drastic impact in my group)

With a rep like that, I don't think I'd offer them anything but wetwork jobs
for the Yaks or the Mob from now on. Like "Make the people in that house leave
it till Monday" or stuff like that.
