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?
Oh, that would be great. But they were specifically ordered by Fixer (Lofwyr himself. But they don’t know that yet and frankly the players themselves don’t really know who that is - yet ;> ) to disable the rig in a way that the eco will be blamed for it. So far the world only knows the message the hijackers sent out.
Looking at how their cooperation has been going on, I don’t expect my players to blink an eye. So I’m looking around for other things to spice runs out until I pull the rug
But that’s a very good point, thank you :)

Oops put the wrong flag then, sorry for people using a screen reader. Interesting that it works here, because in some instances comments in a different language than the main thread are blocked
I fixed this by choosing all languages in my settings. I think that’s the default anyway
