Extraction Run, Literally -- Need security ideas Options

[Epicedion]

I've got the set-up for a run for a group of 4 new runners (in the 10-12 karma range) and I need some security ideas.

The short version: a biotech researcher has died near the end of a project that's had him in Seattle. His research assistant is going to wrap up the project and carry all the information in a data lock back to his home office in Germany in 17 days (he secures the data in his data lock every night for various reasons). The team has been hired to do the following:

Primary Objective:

1) Either kidnap the assistant and deliver him, or extract the data lock hardware and deliver it (cracking the lock is not in the scope of the run). Pay: 30,000

Optional Bonus Objectives:

2) Find and steal copies of the research diaries/notes, then trash the originals. Bonus: 10,000

3) Infiltrate the research lab and steal the relevant research samples. Bonus: 10,000 -- Alternately, torch the lab and the samples. Bonus: 5,000

Completely Alternate Objective Path:

1) Steal the notes (trash the copies), kill the assistant and steal the data lock hardware, steal the samples, destroy the lab, and make it all look like some sort of horrible accident or other tragedy that doesn't look like shadowrunners did it. Total: 75,000

---

I don't want to make the 30,000 too terribly easy, but easy enough to make it a hard decision on how to approach the primary objective with respect to the bonus objectives and the alternate win condition.

So what I'm looking for is security ideas.

The research project is of minor to moderate importance, so the target isn't in protective custody. I'm thinking a bodyguard detail that follows him wherever he wants to go, which is primarily to restaurants, bars, nightclubs, shops, et cetera. His activities will be limited to the part of Renton that's close to Bellevue and Downtown Seattle -- the lab will be nearby his housing (moderate-ish lifestyle condo?). The bodyguard detail is there as much to keep him from running off with semi-expensive data as they are to keep him safe.

So my questions are:

1) How big a security detail should this guy have? I was thinking at least 3 modestly effective bodyguards to handle him in public -- an intimidating bruiser (ork/troll?), a reasonably competent mage, and maybe a tactical/security guy that keeps an eye on exit routes, potential set-ups, and handles counter-espionage. Infiltrating the condo would involve the in-house security for the building/complex as well as potentially the local police (Knight Errant).

2) What's reasonable security for a research lab of questionable importance? It's not a hidden facility, nor is it very large, so I'm thinking a light complement of standard dudes-in-security-armor, again with local police being a consideration. Six to twelve guards on the day shift (when the lab is active) spread out over the building -- similar at night, when all the workers are home? Magic-wise, an in-house mage, or just a spirit patrol? I'm also thinking of throwing a rigger into the mix of security at the lab, on-site and handling a couple mobile camera drones and one for light combat. Matrix-wise, an off-site decker who'll be paged if someone punches into the host?

Note: I don't want to make any part of this too hard -- the difficult part would be reaching for the larger payout and trying not to screw any of it up, since the team would effectively have to find a way to hit all their goals without ever drawing any outside attention, and eliminate anyone who could expose the run.

The team consists of 1 decker, 2 magicians (one hermetic, one shaman), and an infiltrator/specialist.

Thoughts?
