Okey, here's the deal
QUOTE
The players all worked for a major corp, prolly an A-rated one.. as some finacial drawback (or so they were told) struck the corp they are fired, and as they were part of an Corporate beneficial program they're left with nothing (that is they had a pretty good living before but as the Corp took care of mostly of their needs, including quarters and vehicles, they got nothing left except maybe a com and some spare nuyens) in this time of need they rented a squat apartment together, and finds out that a former wageslave has a really hardtime getting a new job.
when things look as grimmest they're contacted by an old colleague, That offers them a fair sum of nuyen in exchange for some services of questionable nature


This will be 300p characters with no available points in contacts nor resources
(Max attribute before race mod 4, max skill rating 3)

Anyhow, the old colleague (Greg) puts up a sob story about how his girl (Nancy) was kidnapped and turned into a meat puppet (no surgical alterations just a permanent personafix that you just dont take out and get the old girl back) His apperant motives... is ofcourse, to rescue the girl and live happily ever after, It might just be a red herring however.

The job will consist of five parts
1st. obtain information and means of restoring a meat puppets original personality

Possibilities:

*An Orc streetdoc in downtown has some rep of curing BTL burnouts to a resonable state
* An off-shot of Seretech has an new industrial use hardware that is tailored to remove the psychological effects of Simsense burnouts (intended for Blackhammered corp hackers first and foremost), Supplies can be found at the factory or its harbor district warehouse, (alternative hacking for constructing their own chip)
* Researching enough of Nancy's past and personality to substitute it with a new Personafix

2nd. Extract the puppet

* Mayhem, Stealth, Bribes, Negotiations, hell the possibilities are infinite

3rd. Restore the puppet to the girl she once was
4th. ??
5th: Profit!

Deus Ex Machina: Greg was actually the guy who chipped Nancy! What will conquer justice or greed?

The guy's will receive 500 (each) nuyen up front aswell as being introduced to a homosexual troll fixer called Ceasar
(actually based on the one from Runner's haven, but hey! it's a lovable concept)

well, as the title suggest.. I have no experience what so ever on structuring runs (but I still want the first run to be genuine and not a pre-made one) so please help me out
