>>>>>[Hoi chummers. I need a little input on an outfit called Ronin
Systems.
Me and my team just got hired by a Johnson that we tailed back to the Ronin
building in Tacoma. He wants us to run on a Mitsu lab. Curious
thing is, he's keeping us in the dark about a lot of things-like the corp he
represents. All we know is that we're to steal a computer from one of the labs
and deliver the device to a drop point yet to be decided upon. It's scary, but
he did provide us with security layout, Matrix configuration, and other bits
of info that will make the run a whole lot easier.
Anyway, anything you guys can tell me about Ronin would be
appreciated.]<<<<<

>>>>>[RAMboy-watch your butt here. Ronin is a Japanese firm that started up
about 8 years ago. They're known for producing high-quality electronics and
processing equipment, good as if not better than Fuchi or Mitsu. I say producing
because their R&D seems to have a zero-wait state-they need it, they get it. The
real clincher is that most of their seed money came from Tokyo Bank 21, a
prime source of Yak funding, through which Ronin continues to channel funds.
So basically, you have a small corp that always has prime goods ready receiving
funds from a bank that is known to launder Nuyen for the Yak about to run on
Mitsuhama, which is as much a Yak orginization as Imperial gov't. (And if you
didn't know THAT I'd like to know what vat you just jumped out of). The whole
thing stinks, chummer, and it sounds to me like Ronin gets most of their goods
from Mitsu and maybe now that want to get them a little faster than
usual.]<<<<<
