I'm tossing some ideas around about a run into a skyscraper... Many good possibilities: Endless stairways with good opportunities for firefights. lift shafts. Outer walls to climb. The roof! Interconnected offices with own stairs & lifts. You get the picture. I know, all this stuff can be in smaller buildings too, but it's a size difference...

At the moment I am thinking about the extraction of something valuable (insert plot device) from one of the offices. Now, will a skycraper be the property of a certain megacorp or are there many small companies inside one? Do you know of any suitable targets in seattle? The problem with this is, the security can not be too heavy. My team is fairly fresh and only three people: A rigger with drones and some hacking skills; A stealth/acrobatics/electronics girl; And a face that is a magicians way adept.

Any ideas/comments on this?

PS: We are playing 4th Ed. so the game is set in 2070.
