* At the end of the Prosperity run, you have to face one last group of mooks, whose captain says that they're the last line of defense. You can then have your character point out that they're the last line of defense because ''you killed the other lines''. They wisely back down.

**The run itself is the epitome of your showdown with Josephine Tsang's men. With charismatic words, a sabotage, some hacks and academic (or magical) knowledge, you negotiate your way to the security systems on 3 floors and shut down the alarms (while releasing a creature which rather defies description). If you are in a mood for looting, you clear out 2 floors of Tsang guards AND kill a vice-president (who's a mage btw). And that's before the havoc you raise in Lab Twelve, leading to the moment mentioned above.

* TakingAThirdOption in the Whistleblower run in Hong Kong. Rather than side with either your original Mr. Johnson (who lied to you and is planning to betray you) or the Seoulpa Rings (who threaten you and are planning to betray you) you can decide to fight ''both'' sides in a glorious three-way fight. This not only gets you the greatest possible reward for the run, it also gets your character a ''lot'' of respect from both their teammates and Kindly Cheng, who strongly approves of the "nobody fucks with Cheng's runners" message you have just sent.

* One mission has you storming the research center of one of the major corporations, killing their researchers, freeing some prisoners, and setting the entire building to explode. It's a hard as hell mission that required a lot of prep work but you will be on top of the world when that building goes up in smoke. The fat paycheck that comes with it is a nice touch too. Double points if you manage to get to the lab without tripping the alarm.

* Meta example. Harebrained Schemes put up a Kickstarter for the Hong Kong campaign, in order to add more to it. They asked for 100,000 dollars, with 35 days for it to be raised. It was raised within ''two hours''. Two weeks later? 700,000 dollars and they still have three weeks to go. Their last stretch goal? 1 million dollars for an additional 4-5 hour epilogue campaign, which they also made.
