Meeting Mr. Johnson(s)

The Mr. Johnson is a time-honored tradition of Shadowrun.  You go on Shadowruns, courtesy of Mr. Johnson.  Sometimes, this is very organic.  Something is going on and you need to go take care of it.  Sometimes, this is very terrible, doing work for the corp guys one way or another.  This game so far is unusual in that you won't necessarily do work for a corporation, ever.  You might.  But it's probably not going to happen.  Each Mr. Johnson is loaded in their own way and will get you things you couldn't normally get through your usual contacts.
