Looking for constructive comments, advice and questions regarding this plot. The run is scedualed for this Friday so please relpy before then.

Background: A few years back one of the corps built an Arco managed by an AI, unfortunatly the AI was a little . . . buggy. The programing errors resulted in something that mimics paranoid scitzophrenia and the AI insisted that it was reciving comunication from the matrix itself (which it began to regard as a kind of god figure). Everytime the corp tried to fix the programing errors the AI found a way to delete the new code because in its own words "I can't hear God anymore". Eventualy it became violent and began killing the corporates who were trying to get the Arco up and running properly so they sabatoged the power generators to shut down the mad AI and abandoned it.

Fast forword to a Mr. Johnson from another corp calling up the team requesting they enter the Arco and retreive the AI's operational core (physicly obtaining the storage media it's on rather than downloading it). He claims that his corp wants to study it so they can discover what went wrong in it's programing so his corps AI's never develop that flaw. In truth what they want is to study it so they devise a computer virus that causes these symptoms in AI's and infect any AI's created by rival corps.

The complications of the run are the fact the Arco is now home to a lot of rats (and one or two Devil Rats) a smallish ghoul pack, and the real threat a large group of squatters who are the early recruits of a Wendigo. These squatters have gone canible and live in relitive peace with the ghouls since they allow the ghouls to share their kills. Most of the squatters are just punks, maybe with a small amount of cyber or bio-ware. Their leader on the other hand is a Prime Runner. He's a Shark Shaman who went over the edge and went canible even before the Wendigo got to him. As an added complication the squatters are trying to get the power back on, and with the power comes an insane AI . . .

The players are on a 400 pt build and I have a Hacker, a Shaman, a gun fighter, a infiltraion specialist, and a melee fighter/demolitions expert. My first two questions are what point build do you think I should use for the enemy shaman to make this very chalanging but not slaughter the entire group, and do you think a starting group can handle four ghoul physical adepts with improved reflexes?
