Need Something Options

[Eltern]

So, several months ago I posted, asked everything I could ever need to know about Shadowrun (that is, other than the -rules-, of course. Just flavor/how it's different than D&D/etc.), and recently I got the core rulebook. Been reading it. Good. I have two weeks between when my friends and I quit our summer jobs and all go off to college (all to the same one). During that time I want to run a mission or two to see if they like the concept, and maybe I can get swinging in a full campaign in college. Here's the lowdown:

I only have three players, for certain, and I'm not sure I want more than that. Can do an NPC, or maybe get one more person and an NPC.

This two week "window" starts in one week. Tuesday. I'd like to start to give them the most time possible to play with this stuff. That and I know something crazy will happen and they won't be able to figure out something I thought was obvious. Always happens. ;)

Was planning on doing First Run, and maybe if I have time the first two missions from Shadowrun: Missions. Could also do the intro mission to Survival of the Fittest. My real problem is I don't think I can get First Run in my hands by Tuesday, and I'm not sure any of the other options (you know, that are free, or at least that I can get my hands on) are as good as what Food Fight is supposed to be.

Thoughts? Is there anyway I can buy First Run as a PDF? I would jump at the chance to do this.

Oh, lastly. Does First Run have sample characters? They are NOT going to make their own (duh), nor am I going to make them (I'll spend too much time twinking them out), but the ones in the core rulebook seem a bit, unfocused? Something.

Thanks!
