Noteworthy Events or Runs

• The runners extracted a researcher that was working on the Arcology Expert System for the Renraku Arcology (also known as the Self-Contained Industrial- Residential Environment or Scire). The researcher was a high level programmer. He was set up, and put into a compromising position with joy girls for blackmail material. The researcher was then blackmailed, and a few weeks later, committed suicide.

• The runners were hired to extract a Novatech employee who was arrested by the Corporate Court on charges of corporate espinage and violations of corporate proprietary laws. He had targeted Renraku and its Arcology Expert Program, for both theft of materials as well as sabotage. He was going to provide testimony to the Corporate Court against three of Novatech's board members, for a reduced sentence.

• The runners infiltrated the Arcology to swap out a fruit basket for one that was prepared by Mr. Johnson. The fruit basket was tainted with Paltaku worms. The researcher that ate from the tainted fruit basket died a few days later.
