A Techno friend of mine has tried explaining it to me and I understand it about as much as I like Orksploitation music. Hint: I once paid a guy to punch Nabo at a gig for me.]<<<<<

>>>>>[I'd prefer to have the reins passed to someone who's between the two, Sir.  I mean, Dragon Slayer insists that I need to step up and be the leader I was born to be, but I'm not ready to take any reins.  I'd largely be happy to just get the gangs to stop shooting around my house and let me be.  Which reminds me... "hi."  Life isn't going to let me have my peace, so I'm always on the lookout for the advice of my betters.  If Horizon ever gets around to following me on runs, I'll give ya the subscription link.  Views are always helpful.]<<<<<

>>>>>[From what I can tell, its one of those "if I can make it home and say "Base" things...  Though I'm told that most experienced runners negotiate a delay in the feed.  Don't want the Security Officers watching you break into their facility live now.  If I notice the drones watching me, Carat can change some of what they've recorded.  I have a Physical Mask spell just in case as well.]<<<<<

>>>>>[To be fair, if you weren't ID'd in the recording, and weren't too entertaining, it's probably filed away somewhere and forgotten.  (Or recorded over.  I'm told that happens.)  If you were entertaining, its been in syndication since its recording.  If you were entertaining and ID'd, well... I'll see if I can find the recording and you can use it as a business card.  Worst case scenario, if you were ID'd and not entertaining... it's probably been sold to the highest bidder already.]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Christ, it isn't enough we have to deal with poseur shadowrunners, now we have to deal with poseur Johnsons?? Tip of the week, kid - it doesn't matter where in the world you are, rule number zero of the shadowrunner is don't get identified.  Waah, boo-hoo, LA's got cameras everywhere?  Wake up, turtle, cameras have been everywhere since the frickin' 40's. Every city has dipshit pseudo-shadowrunners - Seattle, Denver, DC, New Orleans - who think that getting their faces on camera and lots of people watching is 'teh shizz'.  Cluephone ringing - most of those 'runners' don't last more than three or four runs before they get either snagged or bagged, and tagged either way.
          Yes, you can make a living, and a good one, being in-your-face, flashy, and famous.  Take Kane.  (Please, somebody, anybody - take Kane!!) But on a quick scan of your 'syndicated' runners, I see that 968 out of the top 1000 of them have a 'final episode' that involved their very public and undeniable demise.  That, kid, ain't a good track record at all. Your Johnson bitches because you weren't flashy and 'in the news' enough for him, apologize, take his money, and put a trace on him - then finalize that fuck before he sends someone else off to get killed for his own damn flash-and-glitter reputation.
          On a related note, of the 2318 shadowrunners I or my people have associated with whose ops in Los Angeles at some point in the last couple of decades we know about, I find ... 684 of a report of their runs' events in the news archives, 103 shots of 'shadowy forms', and 6 of them identified through means such as your 'cameras everywhere'.  If you want to live, kid, operate in the shadows, like the label says. ]<<<<<
