Which is essentially warning Clockwork off.  Honestly, if you piss FastJack off enough for him to want to kill you, you're already dead.  Your body just hasn't gotten the message yet.

That wasn't a warning. That was a promise.

The majority of JackPoint hasn't weighed in.

The majority of Jackpoint is likely not wanting to get into the crossfire.
There is no overkill.

Only "Open fire" and "I need to reload."

Would you get between Momma and Poppa (And FastJack) if Clockwork did even the most minor thing to the little guy?

The coroner would put down the cause of death as, "The most stupid form of suicide I have ever witnessed."

I think you meant 'Momma and Poppa (and Fastjack and Kane)'. Didn't the ol' pirate basically declare himself godfather to the kid? And you'd also have Pistons, /dev/grrl, and Puck lined up in a heartbeat. Clockwork may be a good hacker, but six on one in the matrix, when one of the six is Fastjack, with Kane bringing some toys to the party in the meat world, and you've got one busted clock. The others don't need to worry about crossfire, they just gotta sit back and watch the show.

Clockwork's a rigger and tech meister.

I don't recall Kane saying he's the Godfather of the little guy.  My bets are on FastJack filling that role, myself.  Wouldn't put it past Kane to be an "Uncle", however.

Kane strikes me as megalomaniacal enough to arrange a guns-blazing attack with minions in tow. The others would be more subtle.

I wonder how much of FastJacks anger is really about the kid and how much of it is fear Clockwork will one day break one of Jackpoints othet rules.

FastJack's a father himself.  'Nuff said.

Speaking of which, how old would Perri be now? If she was Otaku in '64, no more than 31?

What I meant to.imply was that in this one case, Kane's way might work better. It's not the angle or type of attack Clockwork would be most worried about

About that.  Which meant FastJack was still wooing the ladies in his 40s!  Go FastJack!

Kane'll kill him quick.  The rest will make death a release...

I believe Perri is adopted.

There is two thing people tend to forget.   One a runner like Fastjack has more favors owed to him that a bank has ¥.   He could probably call in those favors and call in an army of shadowrunners that will make every nation, mega, IE, and dragon take notice trying to figure out why there is so many heavily armed and angry babysitters in one place. Second, he could get an second army of wanna be shadowrunners and noob shadowrunners to do it for free just so they can say I worked with Fastjack once.

I personally think that Kane'll take his time, rather than offing him off quick.
