So. Imagine a stubborn dwarf soldier in your party found out Astral Extractions hired Downside Kings to kill Duravor. And now this dwarf wants to find person responsible for that and make them pay. Person from Astral Extractions.
Any ideas how to handle this? Cause it seems for me that Incident at Absalom Station just got itself a major side Shadowrun-style quest...

Hey Roman - Major side quest indeed. Depends on where you want the mandate to "remove" Kreel came from... was it regional management decision? Board? Was the method or approach left to say a local "resources specialist" who was green-lit to employ "whatever methods necessary"?
If its the latter then an uncovered data train to said individual might allow for a semblance of revenge... If it goes further up the Corp food chain, then it'll become more and more difficult to find "a person" whose responsible. Plus they also risk attracting the ire of a major Corp (and their resources) in the form of everything from data-theft/hacking/framing to outright threats and assassination attempts.
I'd be inclined (if you want to spin things out) to have the regional rep be "reassigned" to another post on another Pact World. In this case overseeing some disruption by local eco-terrorists against their corpsicum mining ops on Castrovel.
Then in book 2 when they head to said planet, you can have them renew hostilities :)
Regardless - loads of possibilities!

If you didn’t want to do too much re-writing, give them a name, (after some investigating) but say he’s gone to ground. After book 1 (where the PCs will likely rule in favor of the hardscrabble collective) have that guy get pissed at the PCs for costing AE the driftrock. He learns where the PCsp are going and while looking into things bumps into the devourer cult.
He’s the one that works with the cult, driving their attempts to kill the PCs, and gives them their gear. You could replace one of the final bosses in book 2 with him, and have him give the big evil monologue about how the PCs are anti-business.

There's a lot of room to insert Astral Extractions into the campaign; Black Dow made some great handouts to use too.

Kudos gratefully received mate :)
@Roman: Know you're probably well past the actual profiling of Astral Extractions, but the aforementioned handouts were a bunch of station news bulletins and the following "Corporate Presentation" which you might find useful:
Its an updated version referencing the Corp's presence on Castrovel, and potential careers with the organisation [should they attempt to tempt PCs with opportunities and credit]
