Outside the sprawl of urban cities, there was at least some part of the world that hadn't been completely torn apart by corporate greed. Mostly because corporations weren't dumb enough to tear up the bread basket, or in this case, the corn basket. Corn and corn based products were still big business in the 6th World. Ethanol especially, cars still needed gas on occasion.<br/><br/>So hiring a bunch of shadowrunners to transport corn wasn't a bad idea. Weird, but not bad. And Billy Bob Thornton, for what it was worth, seemed to be a pretty amicable fixer. He paid well for his jobs, though not quite enough to pay the rent, at least, not yet. But he promised that bigger jobs were coming down the line-and today was the day he delivered.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/izQGnOfLu5d851hUAD9_YuEl-o6vHHH1w_KoNGo0eug/https/static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/53795358_821792468160507_9177364351474991104_n_copie.jpg?width=315&amp;height=379)</div><br/>"Alright, I'm sure y'all have been waiting for something big. Well, we've got something." He said, having called them all over their commlinks. "Got a few individuals who need a bit of escorting. Now, this one is a bit hot, so we're already talking a pretty penny for getting them to me. Currently, the three of them are in Des Moines." Which wasn't too far away, actually. Or at the least, all of them could reach it quickly. "All three of them got people they're running from, so you're gonna need to pull 'em out, probably under gunfire if they get found. I'd recommend splitting up and getting all of 'em at once."<br/><br/>"First up is a man named Rick Wallace. Former CAS scientist, suspected of treason and conspiracy to assassinate the sitting President. Don't care if he did or not, but he knows a lot of stuff, and I want that. He'll possibly be hunted by CAS agents. Expect subtlety...as much as a bunch of good ol' boys can be. Second one is Yakov Anjelika, Russian chemist selling various incendiary devices to the Vory families. She got burned, managed to pull a few strings to see her safely through what used to be Canada to get her here. Now I need to get her the rest of the way. Third one, Andrew Erling. Hounded, but didn't say who. Still happy to have him, what he knows will help me."<br/><br/>"As for payment, 3,000 nuyen to each of you, assuming they're unharmed...mostly. I know how these jobs can go, got a little bit set aside for any medical bills. Assuming none of them need critical medical care, you'll get the full payment. Any more than that, and the difference is coming out of your check. On the greener side of things, get them to me without needing to use the full medical fund, and I'll cut you all a bonus. Any questions?"
