The UCAS Political Structure topic just gave me a run for Shadowrun. For the adventure we invent a new type of school. To make some controversial issue here, it's a public school for Orks and Trolls. They're called Cram Schools because they teach eight years of Junior High and High School in four years. The schools were put in place by ORC (Ork Rights Committee) and cost the same as sending a Norm to school for eight years. The idea is that the shortened lifespan requires a faster teaching model. Obviously, these schools should be open to all races, but limited budgets and local concentrations of Orks and Trolls means that only metahumans attend. Humanis invokes Brown as a political tactic, and the case quickly reaches the High Court. The two arguments are...
You can add to the arguments if you'd like. I'd love to hear others opinions about the matter. How does this become a run? Delaying lawyers, screwing with question sheets, tampering with court or lawyer knowsofts, and the like are the simple ones. There was a recent case where a lawyer kept referring to the Justices by their name, but he kept using the wrong name. It really pissed off the justices. Inflicting some kind of memory treatment or psychotherapy on a lawyer to subtly bias judges against his or her argument would be supreme (hahaha). All the media attention could make the run a nightmare, but the pay would be good form both sides. Publicly embarrass Humanis or stop ORC schools? All you have to do is screw the lawyers... Which side would win? I want to say some kind of compromise is in order, but this is Shadowrun... |
