I advice exactly the opposite (sorry Adam (-: )! Never sit
around the table with your Mr.Johnson(MJ). You never know
what he exactly wants from you or what he wants to do WITH you.
Our standard procedure is:
A decker with build in telephone (but can be radio as well)
and a mage(we have plenty) show up and discuss with MJ. Two
others sit at another table near the exit and the rest of
the team waits outside. All are linked with radio or by
telephone so all can hear what MJ says. The mage scans MJ
astrally seeing him telling the truth (sometimes) or casting
even 'detect lies'. And he knows his aura and can send
watchers to find him!
On team member for each entrance to the meeting location
arrives ca. 1 1/2 hours early to scan the arrea and watch
for an ambush. The others arrives about 20 minutes early.
Always record your meeting with a camera. Our decker has an
eye camera build in.
Best if you can choose the meeting point! MJ doesn't need to
see all the runners. You doesn't need to know what he wants
with 'that yellow chip' and he doesn't need to know your
recources! If he doesn't want to give you the job because
only two of you show up first ask him why and than arrange a
second meeting at another location. Since all runners can
hear what is said they know what happens. The second meeting
takes place 1/2 hours after the first at a location of your
choice. Beware of cars, drones and sattelites - use public
underground transports. If your MJ doesn't want to go to the
second meeting where all runners can show up, something is
wrong and you'd better hurry to get away. - yeah I'm a bit
paranoid but MJ is the bad boy in 8 out of 10 times.
I have seen a web site with the title _professionalism_ for
Shadowrun. I's somewhere on the webring I suppose. Anyone
knows more ?
It is always good to scan the seat where MJ sat for ritual magic.
Hope that helps
Sandman
