QUOTE (ShadowDragon8685 @ May 8 2013, 12:28 PM) 129. When Zurich Orbital decides that it would be cheaper to hire you to run in-house security for them than have you keep breaking in to do Shadowruns against them for money or for them to keep losing money and face by having hit men trying to kill you and it winding up splashed all over the nightly news. 130. When you are forced to decline Z-O's offer because you have a better offer on-hand from Gary. 131. When you're on first-name basis with someone who runs or is otherwise part of the executive decision-making of a AAA Megacorp. 132. When you're on first-name basis with more than one of them. 133. When you're on first-name basis with more than one of them, from more than one corp. 134. When you're on first-name basis with so many Megacorp top-level movers and shakers that they all pay you the kind of money most starting Runners get for a hard run monthly, as a retainer, to act as the back-door messanger between them all. Item 131 ". When you're on first-name basis with someone who runs or is otherwise part of the executive decision-making of a AAA Megacorp" Was taken care of back at the first post. Please adjust back 1, accordingly. |

When the top-level movers say it "OK" for you to act as a courier for their teenage daughter who has "thing" for a different top-level mover's teenage son.138. When you and your team are no longer afraid of the word "Vacation". 139. You get asked by "MercNET" to have your picture taken as the new cover for their new "Executive Editor" position you just happened to get. 140. A "Night of a Bazillion Ninja's" is seen as a "good warmup" for your lone *MAGE* (with no spells). 141. Your team decker/technomancer decides to "play both sides" of a running gun battle between your team and the corporate guys in order to give them a fighting chance. 141a. Your teams Mage/Shapeshifter finds out about 141, and agrees with it based on the sheer magnitude of difference between the sides. |

QUOTE (WhiskeyJohnny @ May 18 2013, 11:32 PM) 128. b Your Hacker ends SPAM for everyone, everywhere, in perpetuity. I think when you do that, the Corporate Court officially announces a pardon for all your crimes past, present, and future, and gets all the megas and governments to agree to it. (CC Justices hate spam as much as Joe Blow.) QUOTE (A Feast For Ravens @ Sep 8 2013, 09:28 PM) 149. You literally cannot find anything else to buy. Not nothing you are "interested in" no, nothing whatsoever. That's when you contact the megacorps and put out an open contract for the corps to design and prototype something new that will get your attention. It can be anything they like; the corp that makes the most interesting whatever for your bid not only gets funded to set up production on it, but gets your public endorsement. QUOTE (CanRay @ Sep 9 2013, 12:30 AM) 150: Kane calls you up to star as him in the next 'trid-flick. You turn him down, because you're already contracted to star as Johnny Depp in a trid about the making of the Pirates of the Caribbean films. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

154. The Corporate Court issues an Omega Order on you, and you respond by issuing an Omega Order on the Corporate Court... And your Omega Order is the one the Big Ten follow through on.
