OK. Here it is...
I would suggest that you title any replies as "GM HELP" and I promise
not to read them until after my character(s) are dead. Alternatively,
you could address replies directly to [email removed] so I don't
get tempted to read them. However, I think that TML would be
interested in any scenario ideas.

I'm in this one and I've suggested an archeological/mining survey or
testing team attached to some University or such as a starting point so
any ideas for scenarios for this path would be appreciated. But other
paths are welcome.

I'm also in this one and I've only been shot twice, lost my lunch half
a dozen times, killed a few "obviously bad" people and a couple of
security 'bots and everybody's out to kill me. Hey, it's tough being a
Bureaucrat.

You're welcome.
