Hit hawk? Could be risky. I got nothing in particular against them, but they sure will against me.
How much exactly is 'a good bit'? And as my friend says, how would you Luke Mr Vadakar indisposed?

Just confirming my involvement in jobs - I'd have signed up for Lance and Elan's. Ganzorigs sounded great, but way too risky for me. I enjoyed seeing the grids though!
The Source runs his operation out of a back room of a bar by day, club by night sort of place. He and the owner have an understanding. The barman was handed this message and told to take it "round back". Hmm. Total lack of information. Secluded spot. Backup might be good. I'll send a text to Lance.Hey. You busy tonight? Might have a job. Could do with a spotter nearby. I'll buy you a drink Well, let's see what this is about.
The source checks his gun is loaded, jumps in his Porsche and heads to the vale.
That works. How about you and I were old acquaintances before the Nerve theft then? And it was after that job that we became friends and started working together now and then?
Lance: I like that idea. Gives me a potential contact to introduce in the future. I'd have probably wanted to tag along on the job to acquire the nerves too, to make sure there were no surprises. Do you want to say that's how we met, or do we have a longer acquaintance than that? I'm waiting for Elan, then I'll see whether I'll volunteer for any of the other jobs as tagalong. Though I'll admit Ganzorig's job description sounds fun...
The source. John to his friends. Mr Source to his associates. You all fall into one or the other category. He's the guy you go to when you need someone sweet talked. Sometimes tech and bullets are no much for a good old fashioned conversation. Plus he's got a job eye for hunting down the jobs that pay well. Hence why he's your friend, or associate. One recent job he was involved in left an executive at Valdize looking very guilty when documents relating to a particularly lucrative oil claim were found in the apartment of a high rent call girl. Of course, she'd never met the man, but the source's very generous payment had her spilling all his entirely fictional perversions to whoever would listen. Her payment was of course, only a small fraction of the money Source and his companions got for stealing the documents from Valdize' exploration department in the first place and allowing a smaller rival to move in on the claim.
I like the description of Hawk. I was basically thinking exactly the same thing but with Amazon instead of Google! So we have corps, and also 2 non-corp groups (Onyx and PR15)? I think I agree with Lance on the jobs. Maybe the occasional hit, but I'd rather keep my hands (relatively) clean and stick to espionage and data / tech heists.
Lance - I'd be happy for you to think of me as a friend. I might even buy you a beer now and then. Having someone like you on speed-dial might come in handy now and then. My Directives: Network - When my membership in PR15 (an Eastern European Anti-capitalist group) hinders the mission, mark experience. Deceptive - When my lies about my identity or my past put the mission at risk, mark experience. As far as you know, I've always lived here...
My corp, Hawk DataSystems, started out as a market research group, helping advertisers sell their products. Over the years, their methods became more and more devious. They began stealing data and spying on people to sell products. They intentionally caused business failures and political scandals for market gain. Eventually they started buying up some of the retailers and advertising agencies they worked with, and are now a huge multinational retail consortium who will sell you anything (or anyone) you want. They'll even tell you just what it is you want too, in case you can't decide yourself.
