Plan F: Failure. One or more PC's are dead.
I've had some characters where this was part of personal plan A  ::)

One of my favorite quotes is from Eisenhower.  Paraphrased: "Plans are useless, Planning is essential." 

Know as much about the situation as you can.
Clearly define your objectives.
Come up with several ways to achieve objective.
Select one that seems best.
Expect things to go totally to hell in execution because you never have perfect intell.
Adapt.
Sometimes adapt means thow all the grenades and run.

"We haven't really got a system of deciding who, Roc. It's, uh..."

"Me! Me! I'm the guy! I know everyone! Their habits, who they hang out with, who they talk to! I've got phone numbers, addresses! I know who they're @#$%ing! I know where they live! We could kill everyone."

"So what do you think?"

"I'm strangely comfortable with it."

The first casualty in any battle is the plan.

+1 to you for the reference. This movie has been the source of many Shadowrun inspirations :)

We have a drake in one of our games. Since he took various adept powers that ultimately make him do 22P base damage to barriers, he's not only plan C, he's also Plan D...

Oh, he can also fly. Frequently, he's plan E as well.

Yeah... Ryan Mercury (aka Quicksilver) was a blast to play during the tourney.

The one fight had Aztechnology Jaguars doing a Low Altitude drop on our refueling T-bird. We spent the first round picking them out of the sky at extreme range, then their spirit "moved" them to a safe landing. Ryan charged up to one of the eight warriors, punched his jaw through the back of the skull then radioed Argent to hit the group with a HE Grenade. The rest of the warriors died in chunky bits, while Ryan walked out of the blast with his jacket barely smoking (2 boxes of Physical). Meanwhile, Netcat was hacked their t-bird and crashed it into the ground while Winterhawk and Kellen Colt took out the two air spirits. Rigger X finished fueling the t-bird and we took off.

All in 2 initiative passes of the first combat turn.

Legend wait for it dary.

As awesome as the fight sounded... I'm only giving you a +1 for the quote at the end.... ;)

Stats on Argent ASAP.

That sounded fun, almost what my group seems to get into more often than not.

Well, there *was* talk of a PDF-Supplement to Street Legends during our "What's Up with Shadowrun?" seminar... Something about runners that didn't make it on the first go-round? ;D

Any chance for Derek "Dirk" Montgomery?

*WITH* an answer to his arm situation?

Make it so first. Any other names we can hope to see?

Can't have Argent without Peg.  At least...  If she survived Crash 2.0.   ???
