Should eco-terrorists appear at an oil-rig under attack they are already being blamed (directly or indirectly) for hijacking?

> I know that eventually the answer is "whatever I want" but I would like to hear what others think. > > There's an MCT oil rig on Baltic Sea. Anarchists from Kronstadt noticed peculiar data transfer some time ago going there and managed to hijack the place. Then they transmitted message that they are an eco terrorist group (I did not specify which one to my players) and demand MCT to stop polluting. After that, folded the satellite dish to buy some time for the decker and rigger to look around the host. > > Now, from a point of, for example, TerraFist. An oil rig nearby is in disarray, none of their contacts in other groups say they're doing it. And MCT HTR is definitely on its way. > Does it make sense for them to come to the rig and make contact/make sure it gets disabled/make trouble for HTR? > > I think their appearance has potential to turn this job into a nice chaotic clusterfuck and opportunity to show my players some variety of the world (they would definitely come on a yacht going superspeed with help of a spirit). > But does it make any sense at all for anyone besides me?

How to roleplay MCT exec conflicted about his extraction?

cross-post: https://sh.itjust.works/post/973541

> My characters are organizing an extraction of local (country) MCT head of security. He is Japanese, raised by the corp from birth, but not completely beguiled as his son is an orc and he had to pull some levers to get him into school etc. > He's aware of extraction and agreed to it. > > But the twist is that he decided to get extracted because he's taking the fall for a secret lab getting blown up in the middle of MCT office campus. So in a way he was made responsible for actions of some shadowrunners and now he's hiring (technically it's his mother organizing this but that's a detail) another ones. I think that can evoke some ambivalent emotions. > They are going to meet in secret soon to get some of his blood, pass the details of the plan, etc. > What are your thoughts on how to roleplay his attitude towards the characters and the whole thing? > > P.S. He doesn't know that but, of course, it was our jolly bunch of psychos that have blown the lab up.
