What price (either in services and favors, or a true street price in nuyen and Availability) would you deem right if a character wants to purchase Infection with HMHVV-I for oneself ? Pretty much everything has a price in the shadows, so becoming a vampire/banshee/wendigo/nosferatu should be no exception. True, OOC the change is paid in karma points, but IC it is "just" a matter of convincing an Infected NPC to met the volunteer in the appropriate circumstances and use its Infection power on them. Surely some Infected exist that are sufficiently pragmatic and businesslike to be willing to perform the service for the right price. What's that price ?
