"Nobody expects the Imperial Inquisition!!"

I'm just stating for the record that I posted/created the concept for my Data Runner on the P&M side of things before reading this post.  It is funny how two people can come up with ideas so similar at the same time (especially since your inspiration was Mirror's Edge and mine was Johnnie Mnemonic, completely different!).

Anyway, really like your ideas and I'll probably borrow some of them when fleshing out the necessity for Data Runners in my sector.  When I finally get around to writing the back story for the Data Runner hopefully I can return the favor and put something useful out there for you.

In any event, it's worth thinking about Data/Dark Runners as a occupation across the Imperium.  My guy is going to have some fancy trinkets acquired as payment for his work and probably be a little less physically adept, preferring to act more covertly, but still quite capable when the situation arises where he just needs to hoof it.

Its scary how often that happens: two people happen to have the brilliant idea at the same time. I'll take that as a complement  ;D

Though I agree that is odd they aren't played more often. You'd think that such a practical profession would be more common place amongst the worlds of the Imperium. I hope others follow our example.

I'm glad you like my ideas  ;D. This character has really been a breakthrough for me and I'm happy that others can make use of her.

Fancy trinkets are always good. They wouldn't be very good data runners if they didn't have something to show for it or an advantage over anyone who would want to get in their way.

On a different note, I discussed with my GM and we decided that the glasses would something along the lines of night vision tech. I'll post the rule once I finish up on tailoring Elva's issues.
