To give you some thoughts (as I was telling you to post on a generic community, note that if I played some shadowrun v3 and a lot of cyberpunk 2020 a while ago, I am not a shadowrun guru)
My scenario-writing tip is to write down what happened, who is inlvolved, why and so on. Looks like you've done most of the work here. You know that some person are on corporate oil rid and want environmental activists to take the blame.
Based on that information, and on the fact that shadowrun is a cyberpunk game, and you need to keep the punk inside, meaning corpo are evil, environmental activists are the good guys (and never thrust a dragon). you don't want the environmental activists involved at first, you want the player to find out that it's a case between corpo where they find-out that the good guys are the victim. Letting more room for a moral dilemna for the PC. Do they want to let the world know the truth with the risk to get in trouble with the corpos an law. or do they want to protect themselves by repeating the narrative about bad environmental activists who are just eco-terrorists ?
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 :)
(btw, you marked your comment's language as French, so somehow I can see it only in my "mailbox")
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
