Jett, I found something a little strange about what you said. "those
sneaky runs where you can't go in shooting everyone..."

IMHO every singe shadowrun is just that.(assasinations being the obvious
exception) I mean, the best shadowrun is one no one knows has been done,
no matter what the objective. If no one knows you're there, they're not
going to try to kill you! That's what I think!!
Ciao,

Renegade
