A good thing to see in SR.
Once had a PC tell someone that the job was on the house, and payed the
rest opf the teamout of his own savings, becuase it was a job that was a
good one.
(Azzies were pulling out of San Fran, and there was a piss-load of civvies
cuaght between the Atzlan and CFS/corp forces, so teams were running the
lines to bring people out, with a going rate of 30K a head. She had two
kids and a husband, and my PC and one other had convinced the rest of the
group to give 20% if all we could bring out was a body. We only got out
one of the kids, and my PC and the other humanitarian split the costs of
the funerals.
Hell of a fun run, but not very economically sound, especially the
aftermath, becuase my character was doing the walk-up to thier last known
locationin time to hear the kid get killed, so he was just a basket case.)

Yep. There are a lot of neigborhoods where it isn't a good idea to be out
at noon in our games, and few that giong outside ater dark unarmed is only
insane, but we generally try to show a return to the old neighborhoods,
similiar to what was seen during the height of the baby boom, at least in
the good parts of the town.
Of course, we rarely work there. (We like to go places that Lone Star
doesn't go into in groups of less than platoon strength and with armour
(Citymaster) and/or air support. <g>)
