Protect this shipment of aluminum, he asks. The jobs might raise an eyebrow, but your fixer assures you it's all for the project. And the dollar signs are big enough to don't have to. You know something's up, but a smart runner doesn't ask too many questions. He's got other contacts to help you-weapon runners, ammo suppliers, talismongers and programmers, anyone a runner might need to make the run go well. He tells you it'll be dangerous, despite Iowa itself being quiet, he's expecting rival teams to attack as other fixers "get jealous" and "want what he has". And what's more, the fixer is pretty on the level with you. Iowa is pretty quiet too, and the stacks of nuyen are fat, with plenty of opportunity to find side gigs if it's not enough for you. He needs a lot of runners for a "long term project" as he calls it.
You're a smart Shadowrunner, and you have a golden opportunity: A fixer offering steady work out in Iowa, a UCAS territory. A smart Shadowrunner could easily spin this period of time into a healthy stack of cash to retire on. It is a great time to live and run in the shadows, however: With the sheer level of chaos on the streets, contracts are competitive, nuyen flows like water, and the need for secrecy is practically gone. For most people, life goes on: Corporate entities continue to grow in strength, life on the streets gets harder by the day, and the top 1% play with the lives of the other 99 like the most lethal game of chess ever played. Massive riots throughout the UCAS territories have only just begun to slow down. The world is still rocked by the death of President Dunkelzahn, the first and probably only dragon to be elected UCAS President.
