Help planning a run Options

[Slide885]

Hoi there, I haven't had a chance to really play SR in a few years. I'm putting together a run and was looking for a little help for the first run I'm setting up for a group. For the most part the group is fairly new to SR, I'm most familiar with SR4 but reading through the SR5 rules currently. Anyways break down of the run.

The Job: Vinny T, the General manager of Emerald City Waste management has a small task that he needs some help with. There is this detective working for Knight Errant, use to be a hot shot on their HTR team. Guy thinks he's a a god damn hero cop, above taking a few bribes to look the other way. Bad for business, ya know? In any case word has come down that their is about to be a round of promotions for KE, in the Emerald City. Looks like Detective Neisse is up for a big one. Would be chief of security for most of the complex. So this is where the job comes in. Vinny obviously can't have this happening, so he wants to the runners to plant some thing incriminating in the Detective's apartment and car. Namely a hand gun in the apartment, and a dead hooker in the car. The gun is in a plastic bag and the former lady of the night freshly wrapped in a rug, dead from an apparent drug overdose.

So part of the design behind this run is to pressure the runners into relatively quick action. I tend to find that my groups love to over plan things for days and days. So anyways for the next three or four days Detective Neise will be working his cases. His official schedule is 6-6, but often works late. Unusually, he doesn't live in Ares Corporate housing, instead choosing to live in an independently owned high rise in the city. A bit expensive for sure but a curious look into the Detective's spending habits show that he is a major tight wad with money. Even drives an old model Nissan Jackrabbit. Anyways Security at the highrise isn't anything insane. If security notices people loitering they will send some one to check it out. Parking spots are assigned for residents. His apartment is maglocked on the front door and on the balcony. And of course maintenance and security have master keys to all the apartments.

So the assumption is that the runners would lay in wait at the apartments to plant the evidence, probably breaking into the apartment to plant the gun first. The night they choose to do the job the detective comes in late, almost midnight. They pop his trunk to plant the body and see another dead hooker looking them right in the face. Unfortunately the small trunk of the nissan jackrabbit can't fit both in there. Choices Choices. Oh, and the detective is coming back from his apartment with a tool kit.

If the runners had tailed him from his job they would of witnessed the whole thing take place at a cheap hotel that night. If the runners didn't switch out the bodies Vinny T won't pay for the job.

So what's really going on? The gun as you can imagine was used in a murder to kill another KE officer a few months before. The dead body they need to plant is the Mayor of Seatles niece. Even if the charges didn't stick it would of ended Neisse's career. The other hooker was what she looks to be. Either an unfortunate accident, or pre-meditated murder by an over worked under paid cop who had been left a bit too empty inside by his work.

Thoughts? How stiff should the security be at the apartments? How should I handle it if they get made?
