Campaign Idea, Is this just stupid? Options

[Shadowmeet]

Okay, I came up with this idea, but I haven't run a game of SR in about...3 years or so, and was wondering what major flaws people could see, and if I should scrap or flesh out.

Basically, the game starts out with a few smaller runs

Initially, an extraction of a Corp Family member for personal reasons.

This leads to information of an experimental soldier who is strangely familiar to at least on of the runners.

Then, after a few runs, the Runers come across an old ally, one who retired because his massive amounts of 'ware were obselete, and he'd lost so much of his humanity(essence) that he couldn't upgrade and keep up.

Except now, this runner is chromed out, and sporting all sorts of new ware. And he takes the runners for a bit of a roller coaster ride.

Then, they start discovering a few other "retired" runners who are coming back wth the newest and brightest.

This eventually culminates in a minor corp trying to rise to power with a magically active serum that restores a persons essence lost through cyberware by cleaning out the system perfectly. Of course, it is still fatal 8 out of 10 times.

Anyway, those are the ideas. What does anyone think?
