Lost Child

Unread postby viridian » October 15th, 2008, 7:31 am

No drek. Normally, I'd leave this for the lost and found pile, but I think the money is worth it. Some corp brat either got away from his parents or was 'helped'. I think his family must be fairly high in the food chain at Evo, because the Johnson who talked to me is offering a lot of creds for little ankle-biter.

If you spot him, grab him. But make sure you bring him back in one piece. My contact was very firm about that. Contact me and I'll hook you up for a standard cut.

Now that's odd. I got a similar request as well, but the Johnson was from MCT.

Got to love a custody case, corp style.

That probably how he ended up lost in the first case. Wouldn't be the first time an extraction has gone haywire.

So which Johnson is paying more?

Sounds like there's more to this story than is let on. I'd bet that brat is less of a son, and more of a test subject.

It's not common for compassion to move too many creds, and when two companies are competing, you'd better believe it's because the upside is worth it.

I'll keep an eye out for the brat. Sounds like he's got an interesting story.

This has the sound of something that could quickly become complicated. I agree with Mouse that two corps looking for a child in this manner indicates something deeper going on, a cautious approach would be advised to anyone getting involved.

This stinks to the stratosphere. If I do run across this kid, first thing I'm gonna do is get him to a secure bolt-hole and find out his story. What he tells me'll tell me which of my contacts would be best placed to get him the hell outta dodge. Ain't enough creds in the universe to justify handing over a kid to be a lab-rat.

Facet, when did this node get overrun by the Hugs and Kisses Society? Drek, I remember when this used to be a place for Shadowrunners. You know, people who kill people and take their drek for nuyen. You sob-sisters make me sick - you'd last less than a day where I came from. Fraggin amateurs. I find that kid, I'm cashing him in, and the only thing that matters to me is who will pay the most.

It's tuskers like you that make respectable orks look bad. That drek you spout is the leading reason why the number of runners willing or desperate enough to work with you is in steady decline.
<<<RedCap>>>

Struth. The way you mouth off isn't earning you any friends, when the drek comes down I doubt you'll be finding many chummers waiting to bail you out.

Tell you what, you find the kid the same time I do, I'll show you how much of a Shadow Runner I am. My blades may be for hire, but that doesn't mean my morals are!

Does the kid have a name? Or, better, does he have a name that they gave you, but that he doesn't answer to? Fragging corps.

So, Frank, Arachnos, any warnings on this kid? Awakened, maybe? I had to chase down a habitual runaway 11-year-old once; by her fourth escape, she had learned an Invisibility spell, which made things... interesting--which is when they called me in. If this kid's a similar prodigy, that would explain the interest... But in this case, I'm leaning towards more unpleasant motives on the part of the corps.

You sound like you have experience with kid test subjects, Hawk.
<<<Merla>>>

Yeah, I do, and I'm not saying more on a semi-public board. It's not just my skin on the line this time.

I think I saw him last night in Redmond, over near the edge of Glow City. Can't be sure though. Whoever it was, the little bugger was hauling his hoop, with half a dozen devil rats chasing him.
