I think this will literally only make sense to
thebaconfat and
squeemu, and even them I'm not 100% convinced about. I just really liked the cabbie in Shadowrun, because he kept being like "Aw, you're broke and incompetent. I'll take you where you need to go," and I like it when people are nice. And then my brain was like "... Yeah, but do Lone Star have their own Doc Wagon bracelets, and if Reckert's didn't work (Malfunction? "Malfunction"?), would Joshua do something stupid to trigger his own to make the HTR Team drag them both out?"
This isn't that fic, mind, but that was part of the thinking process leading into it.
Also I couldn't for the life of me work out how I was phrasing this fic until I just went "Fuck it, I like fake game walkthroughs, make it so." The other alternative was Marrs and the Cabbie just being like "FUCK. DECKERS." in a bar, which... Might be fun? Maybe? I don't hang out with Marrs enough though.
(FUN WITH FORMATTING: will the less than/greater than signs show up or will this be a horrible mess? LET'S FIND OUT.)
(I AM SO SORRY.)
