Mr Johnson: "Now gentleman, that you have agreed on the extraction job with a payment of 10,000 nuyen per teammember, here are some informations about the target subject."
*A image of some random guy pops up in the holo-projector that is build into the table*
"The person in this image is Joe Nobody, your target. He is currently employed in Corporation XY. He started there 1 week ago.
He is 21 year old and dropped out of school when he was 15. He has absoluly no educations or qualifications of any kind and is a failure in most aspects of life. We want him for our company.
As I told you before, you will have to deal with minimum security as he lives in one of the worse parts of Renton."
Runner 1: *nervously clears throat* "No education or qualifications you say? Why you want him? Has he magical potential or is some kind of 'chosen one'? Could he be dangerous?"
Mrs Johnson: "No, don't worry, he is nothing of that. It's just that Corporation XY implantated a skillwire system into him, thats worth hundred thousands of nuyens. So it's actually way cheaper for us to pay runners to extract uneducated workers from other corporations, than it would be to implant them with skillwires ourself."
Runner 2: "If he has such expensive implants, won't he have personal bodyguards?"
Mr Johnson: "Most likely not. No company can afford to give personal bodyguards to each of their thousands low payment workers. He might have a Kung Fu skillsoft, but nothing that a taser and the advantage of surprise couldn't handle.
Companies that are extratorial will just make their workers never leave concern property. But we have especially chosen Corporation XY because they aren't extratorial.
You really have to wonder, why a company chooses to implant 300 k nuyen skillwires into low payment workers, if they can't shut them away in an arcology afterwards. It's like they are begging to be robbed. It's probably an old habbit, from when the skilwire system was only worth one-twentieth of was it is now."
Runner 1: "Wait a second. There are thousands of low payment wageslaves with expensive skillwires walking in the streets. With almost zero security. Even used skillwires still have a streetworth of 100 k nuyen. Why do I keep breaking into corporate facilities and risk getting my ass shot?
Why don't we just hack their cars, let them drive into the barrens, wait there to be the first to rob them, deliver them to a street doc, have that skillwire system extracted, let them wake up later in a bathtube full of ice, and have made 100 k nuyen pofit?
I have done worse for 100 k nuyen. We could lay low a long time with that much money."
Runner 3: "I have a streetdoc connection that would be willing to assist. I will call him."
Runner 2: "I will get ice for the bathtube."
Runner 4: "I have hacked already five cars of skillwired low payment wageslaves while you were speaking. We have to hurry to be in the barrens in time."
Mr Johnson: "Could you please first fulfill our contract? Time might be pressing. We fear that other corporations might also be interested in extracting Joe Nobody."
Depending on how well the removal of the skillwires goes, forget the bathtub of ice and call up Tamanous. I mean, if the wageslave dies in the process, waste not, want not.
