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?

    will TerraFist be ok with a shooting match with mtc and likely losing those operatives?

    I agree with Ziggurat that they should be the punk side of the setting. So underfunded good guys, who should rather go with “hit and run” modus operandi. Not a show of force like that.
    Unless they really take orders from the Sea Dragon and the rucus grabbed her attention? Food for thought

    “The eco terrorists aren’t the ones who took over the oil trig after all? But then they showed up anyways? What the hell is going on?"

    Exactly what I had in mind ;)
