Well, it would be more plausible if everyone had datajacks :)
How about if they thought they were being hired by "Daddy" but were
actually hired by a top matrix research scientist who lost one of his
best Deckers to the UV host. After losing a few more talented
corporate deckers he decided to hire more expendable shadowrunners. As
a side note he decided to rig the non deckers with SOTA trodes so they
could go along with their buddy (and yes, for whatever reason the PCs
fell for it), just to see if the UV host would capture non-deckers. Well,
he found out the answer to that is "yes".
Does that sound reasonable? :)
