I haven't had that happen a lot, but I find the "I'll ask my contact to
hack into Ares" approach a lot easier on the GM -- since the decker is an
NPC, you can just have him say "Okay, I'll see what I can do. The usual
phone number and payment?" and then come up blank several hours later,
while charging a lot for the time spent hunting for info. Or, of course,
you could feed the players *some* info if they're really getting nowhere.
I like decker contacts almost as much as I hate PC deckers-using-VR1-rules :)
The job application is really dumb, I have to agree. Just as dumb as
phoning them up and asking for info, IMO.
