Varsoon slid a data chip across the table. By the time it was in the runner's pockets, the man had taken his leave.
Recorded on the chip were the plans for the city, complete with street maps, sewer networks, and floor plans of every building from high-rises to slum shacks. Notes had been made about the growing crime in the region, which, at first glance, seemed to be tied to gangland disputes. To the trained eye, it was clear that the crime-spree was instigated by one of the megacorps. Varsoon's lead indicated that, should the right gang be hit, the paydata would be worth millions in the hands of competitors; if lucky, this could even lead to further runs against whatever megacorp was behind the gangers and emerging combat zones.
@R&L: I don't know that there is a protective role; I'm setup-spec'ing. Regardless, the chances of a poisoner targeting me are very low. The role is better played claimed, as I lower the pool for people to pick for protections and/or kills. Furthermore, if you believe my claim invalidates the usefulness of my role, then you're admitting I am town by right of the claim--it would have no usefulness if anti-town, and, ergo, has no point to be claimed in that case.
If I was the poisoner, I wouldn't claim poison-proof, because then I'd be destroyed by a counter-claim.
I think you're just salty that I'm driving the game away from RVS here.
