Make all the Transporter jokes you want.

Of late, my group has been quickly completing the mission. That is to say that they do no investigation into the consequences of the mission. If the mission has obvious consequences, they do work to prevent disaster. They do not however, look a two or more layers ahead. There is no implication here that it is always possible to have a positive outcome, only that the negative results may be reduced or at least preparations made.

As I am trying to adapt to Dumpshock, and thus mainstream SR culture, is this considered Professional or the work of Pawns?

Not a poll, please explain. Help a brother out.
