Contract Limitations: Visual confirmation required;
biometric ID required
Contract Value: ¥ ¥ ¥
Open Form Data: Current leader of Bright Star; re-
sides near Bogotá; Bright Star affiliations; no private se- curity contracts
Current Acceptance Count: 3 Accept Contract: Y/N
Information: The target is currently acting as the
head of Bright Star, a terrorist organization seeking to undermine the efforts at stabilization within Bo- gota. As a well-known shadowrunner and veteran of the Az-Am war the target has extensive connections around the world as well as in and around Bogotá. Target has no standard contract security but is often in the company of other terrorists with a wide variety of skill sets.
Target is highly mobile and takes up residence with fellow members or sympathizers of Bright Star. This
means that collateral damage to these facilities or per- sons is of no concern to the contractor. Confirmation on multiple open and accepted contracts will be paid in full.

Nice to see one of our own make this list.>

Nice to know I’m wanted. If someone isn’t gunning for me, then I haven’t done enough agitating. I know they’ve got 75K for my head down here. I wonder if “¥ ¥ ¥” is more than that. This is interesting to see that someone has gone so far as to open the job up to pros, but this is not the kind of place for assassins. Merc groups or runner teams have a better chance. Too many things down here will kill you if you don’t have someone to watch your six.>

I’ve figured out the ¥ ratings. Each icon is an additional zero beyond the 100s place. ¥ = thousands, ¥ ¥ = tens of thousands, ¥ ¥ ¥ = hundreds of thousands, etc. Not a perfect science, but it gives a range. The payoff for you is at least 100K, but could be 999K. I may be new, but I’ve heard you’ll make people earn their money.>

Smart defensive or even intel operations can use this site’s Acceptance Count as a way to tell when a meeting at a site has been compromised. If the numbers tick up on several targets all currently meeting at the same spot, your blown and someone has your number.>

Open Form Data: Confirmed terrorist; rumored resi-
dence in Zona Sur, Bogotá; known affiliate of Bright Star and The Light of Truth Matrix broadcast; personal body- guard referred to as Escuda de las Creencia
Current Acceptance Count: 2 Accept Contract: Y/N
Information: Cordejeña is the leader and organizer of
a guerrilla Matrix broadcast known as the Light of Truth. The broadcast and those behind it seek to undermine the efforts Aztechnology has put into the infrastructure and rebuilding of Bogotá after the recent conflicts. The exact location of his residence in Bogotá is unknown, but local intelligence assets can be arranged with contract accep- tance and verification of identification.
The target is a skilled rigger. He is rarely without ex- tensive drone surveillance of his immediate vicinity, and he performs advanced reconnaissance for locations he plans to visit. This is often the best way to identify where he will be, as he does not have any kind of formal sched- ule and moves the broadcast location for the Light of Truth frequently.
Target security will not be provided by a contract or corporate security provider in the region. Local terror- ist forces are known to provide security for meetings and transportation of the target. His personal security is provided by his bodyguard, known on the streets as Escuda de las Creencia, or Escuda for short. He is an ex- perienced combatant, having seen action in the recent conflict as well as being a renowned pit fighter. Based on his level of skill but lack of financial support, it is suspect- ed that Escuda is an adept. Additional close security will likely include a team of security operatives covering all three primary aspects of security—Physical, Astral, and Matrix—especially while broadcasting.
The Light of Truth is also supported by the local Cath- olic Church and may be using former church holdings as operating bases, especially those that are in poorer neighborhoods or in dilapidated condition after being cleared of insurgent elements.
>
Escuda is a member of the Vigilant Iron Schooling House, so he’s totally an adept. He set up a few schools (they call them arenas) around Bogotá, taking in street kids whether they got Talent or not. The arenas train them all, and Escuda takes the ones with the Talent for extra work. With Escuda on board, the Light of Truth has plenty of adept muscle to rain down on foes when they’re in trouble.>
Matt Wrath>
With what the Azzies did to the church’s assets, I’m not surprised they’re helping the LoT. There are a lot of places to hide work from all over Bogotá that the Catholics can help with. They’re also pretty handy for getting people and items in and out of town.>
Traveler Jones>
Even if they take down La Productor, a new one will take his place. It’s a lot of money for one man.>
Aufheben>
It’s going to be about the message. They want the body left in public or the job done there. They want people to know what happens to those who go against the will of Aztechnology/Aztlan.>

Strecht, Kenneth Kascien
Contract Limitations: Visual confirmation required;
positive ID required; incendiary/explosive methods pre- ferred; target destruction required
Contract Value: ¥ ¥ ¥
Open Form Data: Known Saeder-Krupp affiliations;
residing in Hawai’i; abundant underworld affiliations; personal security varies
Current Acceptance Count: 12 Accept Contract: Y/N
Information: Welcome to what will be a very lu-
crative contract. The target(s) for this contract are cor- porate citizens of Saeder-Krupp who have become non-viable assets for the company in the nation of Hawai’i due to CFD infection. This is a purge operation with multiple available targets and a wide variety of po- tential obstructions.
The name Hans Brackhaus is a common replacement for Mr. Johnson in the shadows, and while Saeder-Krupp values the services provided by those who utilize that moniker, the situation in Hawai’i is highly volatile and risks the reputation of the megacorporation in the Ha- wai’ian shadows and within the nation itself.
Each individual is required to be positively identified and cross-referenced with the local contact prior to the execution of any plan for termination. Terminations will require visual confirmation followed by immediate de- struction of the target body to prevent further spread of the CFD virus. With the recent events concerning the so-called “Monads,” those infected with CFD may have additional resources or aid at their disposal.
>
A chummer was talking trash about S-K over a few drinks and mentioned some work in Hawai’i. He talked about the Johnson refusing several positive IDs and the massive loss of nuyen he and the team had to eat because of the wishy-washy Johnson. Maybe the same gig, maybe not, but it’s a tip for running in Hawai’i either way.>

In case you’re young and clueless, this work screams SK Prime. Which again, if you are young and clueless, means you are only about two steps, if that, removed from working for a dragon. Beware.>

Contract Value: ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥
Open Form Data: Known shadowrunner and street
doc; primary residence Seattle, UCAS; verified sightings: Boston, UCAS, Atlanta, CAS, London, UK, Free City of Lagos, Chicago, UCAS, Detroit, UCAS, St. Louis, CAS;
associated with JackPoint VPN, Monad movement; no confirmed contract security
Current Acceptance Count: 1 (Locked) Accept Contract: Y/N
Information: Thank you for accepting this Certified
Contract. The contract will remain locked from other users until you have completed your accepted assignment, are rendered incapable of completing your assignment, or fail to complete the assignment within the requested window of time, at which point a subcontract will be set out for you. Additional contract stipulations include a bonus for any and/or all data located on the person, in the commlink/ dataterm, or in a verified storage node of the target and a zero-witness policy. This bonus will be based on the quality and quantity of the data upon delivery. The zero-witness policy requires there be no witnesses to the death event or the deceased post termination. It is the responsibility of the contractor to fulfill this portion of the contract and neu- tralize any witnesses, be they living or electronic.
The target is an experienced street operative with ex- tensive connections among the members of the well-re- spected JackPoint VPN. She has been consistently on the move for several years, rarely staying in any single location for more than a few days. Her connections have provid- ed a vast variety of living arrangements from fake SINs for hotel/motel rental to hacking corporate residences while executives are out of town. Security, when needed, is pro- vided by shadowrunners, vetted through her extensive contacts. While these individuals may be trusted not to sell her location to corporate information brokers, they are rarely capable of withstanding extensive questioning and can be used as a source of information for her next move.
Update: With the recent events involving the Monads, Butch has made contact and gained another avenue of assistance. Analysis of interactions shows an increase in her level of acceptable risk when dealing with the Monads she has had contact with.

Another of ours, though this is not surprising at all. Butch has been on the megacorporate drek list since she first starting digging into CFD. The paydata bonus is a nice touch and not at all surprising, but what’s up with the no witnesses? That’s a little dark.>

Open Form Data: Advanced Hermetics Instructor at
Texas A&M; residence in Burton, TX, CAS; membership in Ordo Maximus; Lone Star Private security contract
Current Acceptance Count: 27 Accept Contract: Y/N
Information: Target is a skilled hermetic magician
with advanced degrees across the fields of thaumaturgy. Her course listings include no undergraduate courses, and she is the doctoral advisor for twenty-four research projects at Texas A&M, most focusing on the integration of the arcane and the electronic. Unlike many of her col- leagues, Belltinarius is actively involved in the lab work of her students. She is a confirmed member of the Ordo Maximus arcane society with a solid reputation within the organization leading to extensive connections in a number of other fields and areas as well as several influ- ential friends and acquaintances.
Security at the school is provided by a private con- tract with Lone Star. The private police company often recruits from the school and thus considers security, and their image here, a high priority. Belltinarius has a personal protection contract with Lone Star as well that provides her with round-the-clock monitoring, threat in- vestigation services, and personal security during pub- lic events, the first two weeks of each semester, exam week, spring and winter breaks, and Wiccan holidays. She may also receive additional security through the contract at a discounted rate.
Her home in Burton is located on a peninsula along the southern shore of Somerville Lake and is also under a private contract with Lone Star. The home is vast and contains several unique features. It has three floors total- ing over 3,000 square meters of floor space not count- ing the rooftop deck or the private cave, and it sits on half a square kilometer of land. Each floor of the home has a deck facing the water and a wraparound porch. Stairs connect all of the decks and the lowest deck to a walkway down to the two private docks and three boathouses. The private cave is accessed from inside the home via a spiral stairwell, and externally via a small snaking waterway. The main cavern is about 200 square meters, half water, and supposedly leads to several oth- er underground rooms.
She usually travels via personal helicopter to and from the school, though she also owns several ground and water craft. Her private helicopter is a decommis- sioned Lone Star Wasp that she flies personally. While she may not have personal security around at all times, she is a hermetic mage and rarely is without the services of several spirits.

Acceptance count of 27. She’s got a lot of crosshairs on her back. What gives?>
Slamm-0!>
I asked nicely, and Neutral said the count only goes down if the contractor actively ends the contract. This contract has had a lot of contractors never check back in, so the count stays high. He leaves it there as a warning, but people keep going for it.>
Glitch>
Is she a vampire?>
Hard Exit>
All signs point to no. But she is connected to the Ordo and studies magic and tech, so she probably has something to do with their cybermantic endeavors.>

Open Form Data: Confirmed Monad; operates
across North America; affiliations within Project Exodus, Society of the Phoenix Arisen, and Forgotten Youth; no contract security, personal security varies
Current Acceptance Count: 6 Accept Contract: Y/N
Information: Target is a known Monad working to
eliminate obstacles to Project Exodus within corporate and national hierarchies. Target may be more than one individual utilizing similar identities or proxies to per- form mundane meetings or tasks. Full biometric scans are provided for the target that include all standard bio- metric data plus physical measures such as stride length, gait angle, forearm length, and digit angles. This data will confirm only for the actual target. Unconfirmed targets should not be terminated but can be scanned, and their data will earn a two percent bonus for each scanned tar- get, up to ten percent.
The target moves around the continent frequently and travels with a stable security detail composed of six former Evo Marines. These individuals are also Monads. Land transport appears most common, though flights have been used when time is short. During flights the target usually has two of his security detail while the re- maining four follow with the ground transport. The target stays in quality hotels with solid security whenever pos- sible. When such venues are not an option, the target al- lows his security team to select their accommodations. The target has some form of extended-living situation in
central North America. The specific location is unknown, but its most likely location is somewhere southeast of the Front Range Free Zone where the UCAS, CAS, Sioux Nation, and PCC all share borders, though which nation holds it is unknown.
Land transport consists of a trio of Rover Model 2072 vans and a Ford-Canada Buffalo RV. The RV rarely enters into most major metroplexes and is often left behind by the team when they enter dense urban areas. This could very well be the extended living situation, but that would raise the question of why they return to the same region between meetings. The three Rovers are each identical from the outside, but internally two have been heavily modified. The standard Rover is their transport vehicle with all the standard high-end amenities and probably a few additional security features. The two modified vans are a command and communications vehicle, and their mobile armory and drone-deployment vehicle.
