So, the TOR shopping services allow you to buy not only drugs, but guns as well. Even bigger stuff like helicopters and armored vehicles can be arranged for the right price. They even have the delivery figured out. Makes me wonder, how many online stores like this exist in Shadowrun? There, it's always arranged meeting for the pickup or a hidden node with shop interface set near the warehouse where the product is kept. |

From my understanding of the setting, enforcement is weak enough that you don't need the anonymity TOR offers.

That would, in effect, be the Ares Weapons World online matrix store.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I believe that Monobe is arguably the #4 corporation in Japan. (There's another that sometimes get mentioned as the largest AA in Japan. I guess they switch places often? Unsure.) And not an Ares subsidiary. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Ares has terrible Asian penetration, save in China, but has been tring to make inroads in Europe. |
