They were captured on camera torching a security guard. That character's face was on the evening news.

There's also one more detail, which I guess I'll let my players find out about.

Remember that guy who just showed up and rolled dice every once in a while? He was on a parallel shadowrun for the same objectives, hopelessly outmatched, but thanks to some insanely lucky rolls (two of them) and, more importantly, the distraction posed by the main team, he got away with the items. The team didn't know that, so if it weren't for the fact that they abandoned the run they'd've had no way to know it was gone.

Yes, I have a history of killing jackasses. :rotate: It was funny how the group changed its battle tactics after that. For starters, the one guy who died in that goblin mission made his next character a half-ogre fighter, so he wouldn't have to rely on pack animals to carry his stuff for him. So, our party after that consisted of a wizard (me), a ranger (Panzergeist), the half-orge fighter, a rogue, a cleric, and two donkeys. Our first fight in the next adventure was against some orcs, who had the support of an ogre. Here's a rough transcript of the begining of he fight.

GM: You see a band of about 16-20 orcs, with an ogre at their rear hefting a large rock.

Me: I cast barksin on donkey #1.

Fighter: I position myself between donkey #2 and the ogre, covering the donkey with my tower shield.

Cleric: I get between the two donkeys, where I can heal eithe of them, and cast bless on the party.

Panzer: I use my talk to animals skill to warn the donkeys not to let the orcs near them, and shoot an arrow at the orc who is closest to either of the donkeys.

Rogue: I look around behind us to make sure there aren't more orcs trying to sneak up behind us and take out the donkeys.

In the end, we all managed to survive, though a couple of us were almosst killed. The donkeys were fine though.

I once had a decker who carried around a huge trash bag full of optical chips with him. During a raid on some computer building, he wanted to take all the chips with him. I don't know how that fits into the topic, but I just remembered that for some reason and found it hilarious. A guy going to a meet with a huge trashbag full of optical chips. And he won't tell anyone what's on them.
