Actually, that was one of the 4th Edition plotlines written into the main book that I had heard nothing about beforehand. Apparently Idn was the first person to be ressurected by a master shedim, and he did 'good works' for a while to cover his real plots.

By the time most people figured out what he was up to, it was already done.

Ah, yeah, I kinda figured that's where it was going. Ultimate goal is still a mystery though?

I don't remember. I do remember his plot was uncovered, and he was destroyed... but I don't remember the specifics.

I believe HE was the Master Shedim, but I could be mistaken. And I think you may be talking about System Failure. That was the last rulebook I read, and what you're talking about is tikling my memory. But let's be honest here, something like that could only have happened in the Middle East. How many Zealot Socieities are around that region?? No wonder the morons fell for the resurection drek. I'm surprised it didn't last longer.

I bet some people (Great Dragons) knew about it. But good luck getting anyone in the Islamic Unity Movement to believe contrary...

I think a TON of people suspected it. At least a ton of runners did. I'll bet you Joe Average doesn't know drek about some of the stuff we see in our lives. They think they do. They may belive all manner of rumors and conjecture, but they don't know anything. OF course, most of the time we don't either,b ut unfortunately, we have a better chance of finding things out. Like big elementals really hurt when they engulf you. Or coming face to face with a 40' long aligator will make you REALLY hate watching the Nature Channel. Or getting shot by a Humanis thug will leave all kinds of interesting and disturbing scars.

the thing is... the people who really wondered about it... didn't have anything to do with it.

would you work for a master shedem?

I would, if the pay was good enough.

Then you and I would be at odds. I just can't abide something that lives and thrives off of the death of those around it. And I'm not talking about eating a burger and killing the cow or drek like that. I'm talking about firing up an entire nation into a bloodlust and then feeding off of the death it caused. Sorry, chummer, things like that I keep the big gun aroud for.

but what if you didn't know. you are contracted through your usual fixer, to go pull some random paydata off of a corperate system. who's to say if they'll use that information to copy the compatition's product, for internal leverage, or to set off a race war in chichago?

Well obviously this assumed I know who or what I'm working for. A generic Johnson is a generic Johnson, and I'll work for them if the terms and nuyen is right. But if I find out downt he line that the slag is a shedim, master or not, I'm going back. And I bringing FIREPOWER.
