Yes I have. Many, many times in fact.

Though I do especial ole being called a combat decker.

The Will is the best thing to come out of Dunkelzahn's Death, I swear. It's a great look into the mind of UCAS' first Dragon President and a hilarious monsoon of plothooks.
Eight Million Nuyen for breeding Honey Ants. I'm trying to figure out if that's nuts or fucking genius.

It's also interesting how you can count on one hand the number of things he actually gives, as opposed to offering up the chance to earn.

It also was directly responsible for destroying one of the Big 10.

"James Meiers is an old fart from West Nowhere who resents being called a combat decker, and really doesn't deserve any such label ..." 

I apparently misremember.  Which isn't infrequent in my case.

So how potent is the Draco Foundation's wish, barring immortality. It seems you can have anything you want, does it include personal access to the Thor Shots?

[Crimsondude]

Given its Chair ... I'd say so.


Just remember. Be careful what you wish for. You just may get it.

[Mirikon]

Indeed. Wish for too much, and you might find yourself opposed by people who have a lot of 'wishes' on their side, and don't aim to let others in at the table. Though actually, a kind of immortality would be within reach, if you include a Formula Spirit Pact...

That would make a nice run idea, find the guy who is the Sinner with the code and learn that he has has the intention of acquiring the hammer of god a race is on to get him to the foundation so he can receive the satellite and equip himself with a dead man's switch that if he dies the Thor Shots will be gone for good. Leaving a huge financial hole in the Corp's wallet and without a powerful weapon. Of course he hands one to you as a gift, unnoticeable (easily concealed) and usable from any location.

No, that's a good way for a bunch of runners to go the way of Artie-boy. If a runner team ever gets their hands on a Thor shot, they will be taken out, period.

True, but the thing it is the guy running the satellite system from his own place now my idea was. All it means is you got a one time high Connection/Loyalty contact for the sake of saving you from certain death with no strings attached, Once. Unless the run is an extreme high stakes one, the Thor Shot is better off sold to the highest bidder than be wasted on a ganger you have a grudge with.

[Mirikon]

No, sorry. The megas will never hand over Thor to a single person. They just won't. And I don't care if the run is to assassinate all the dragons put together, calling in weapons of mass destruction is a sure-fire way to get yourself very, very dead. You know how stealth-killing every guard you see is a good way to get a corp reprisal team after you? Now picture what happens when you nuke a city.

They'll live forever. Immortalized if not in history than certainly in geography.

Geology has a surprisingly short memory ... in geologic time, anyhow.

As I say, you can also pawn it off to a Mega for cash and their loyalty for having a bargaining chip since it is an overkill weapon and effectively a DEM in a run. Remember the foundation offers one wish and I think total control of the Thor Shot system isn't something beyond them.

The entries referencing wishes also include the traditional warning of 'beware what you wish for, as you just might get it'. Those entries in the will talk about getting a wish granted, they say nothing about helping you survive the consequences.
