On Johnsons and Fixers. Everybody handles them their own way, but I'd like to see what other members of the community do.
Are you fixers permanently attached to the runners? Do they oversee a large talent pool of runners, and just happen to draw the runners out of it for a lot of jobs? Do they have corp affiliation? Do the Johnsons contact the fixers, give them the data, and have them contact the runners? Or do Johnson's contact fixers to set up personal meets with the runners? Are you Johnsons corp affiliated, or do they sell their anonymous services to the highest bidder? Does a Johnson ever seek out a team of runners personally, bypassing the fixer entirely? Do your Johnsons take orders from someone in his corp, who in turn took those orders from someone else, and so on and so forth until you have a Johnson with a clear idea of what needs to be done but no idea who wants it done or why it's important? Spill the beans, omae. |
