My favorite moment comes from the same campaign I was in.... first... How we lost most of the party to a white lie.
Charecters- my charecter was the ONLY fixer in the party. Others, 3 Solos, 1 Cop (Ex), 1 techie, 1 Medtechie.
My charecter handled ALL contract negotiations for our group. I was contacted by a corp gentleman who wanted a simple extration job from a corperate building in nightcity. He was paying 15k for the group, I told them it was only for 10k, made my dice rolls they didnt, so they belived me. (it also helped that the GM rolled secretly for them, and didnt tell them how much it actually was for) I figured the less they worried about buisness the better we were. After a few sessions like this where I had succeeded in bluffing my way into a bit more cash... I still took my share after the job was done. On average I was making 8K per job. Well one of the charecters a female med techie and the techie found out... The Female techie tried, and succeeded in seducing me, into a bit of the cut. ( one bad roll) But the med on the hand tried to drug me, and kill me. Good thing I was paranoid, and avoided getting killed by poison. Well then the med inlisted one of the solos to try and kill me on our next job and make it look like a accident. They managed to convince me to go into the building on a run, something I never did. The solo was placing the explosives, and botched the plant, then luck was not on his side so they exploded. Our medtechie was outside with the other Solo gaurding the get away vehicle. We all had 1 action to respond to the explosion.... so I shot out the window I was standing near and threw myself out of it. Now I was planning ahead, back to that paranoiya, I managed to procure a mini-chute, and I chipped the skill for jumping. So I managed to survive the explosion that took out the better part of the top 4 floors of the building we were in. I sailed down to the ground and lived... but we lost the Medtechie, 2 Solos, and the Cop.... But we got the job done. And all my problems were solved. After that incedent I hired the surviving Solo as my bodygaurd and gave him a salary ontop of his cut. Went from making loads of free cash to being the boss, and having to pay wages.
Second encounter with this charecter....
After a run of hard luck, and some new solos, a nomad, and another medtechie, we got the idea to body jack a medtechie off of a trauma team waggon..... (sounds like a good idea on paper)
Well after we succeeded in getting shotup stunned and captured by the police in our attempt to jack them. We waited 3 months for our trial. In the court room the medtechie that we had captured and over heard us talking about what body parts sale for the highest prices, was on the stand, pointing us out to the jury. No we didnt knock him out, or blind fold him... we just held a gun on him, not my britest moment. When the prosecuting attorny questioned the witness, and victem, our nomad snapped, he jumped up on the table (both in real life and in charecter) and started yelling, "CANT YOU SEE MAN THEY HAVE US BY THE BALLS! IF WE PLEAD INSANITY THEY MIGHT LET US LIVE!!!!!" It was by far one of the best moments in gaming I have had ever. If it werent for some contacts I had aquired over the years I would have been braindanced and be cleaning drainege ditches. BUT I was lucky, and I would rather be lucky than good as a fixer, I managed to get most of us out of any type of sentencing. One of our solos had some problems, and the Nomad was screwed with the outburst in the courtroom. They convicted the solo of cyberpsychosis and sentenced him to have ALL cyberware removed and to be sent to theropy and 5 years prison with braindance adjustment. The nomad was sentinced to 10 years mental institution for possible drug use and combat fatigue.... I lied to the court and told them he was a war vet.
Sometimes the life of a Fixer is hard work...... But now I have a small busness, in the information market, I have a flat in Tokyo, Nightcity, and Berlin. Seeing as I and my girlfriend, yea the medtechie is STILL with me its the money, dont have ANY cyberware. We get through life looking like anyother corp. I love this job.
