Similar patron to Anaraxes' ... but smart enough to use TTS tech so that he/she can have a voice.
Hiring you to "Fail to Assassinate the King, with many witnesses, and then escape unidentified"... It's the King and/or his councilors, trying to divert public inquiries into his personal finances and/or recent decisions by making him the supposed target of a coup attempt. |

Basically, the idea is to convince the target that their assets are potentially compromised, so the employer can monitor their activity and see what accounts they check.

Re: Ideas Are Easy
After a serious pandemic (as unlikely as that sounds) legislatures change rules allowing remote participation. It brings about an era of the political recluse. Secretly, some of those are digital creations - S1m0ne* style - designed to be ideal candidates but under the control of someone with an unknown agenda.
*S-one-m-zero-ne.

That is just chewing the cud of course though someone might even get something off of that. The fact is it is a pretty good idea on it's own. Scary, kind of like those nasty stories of someone who finds some one to exploit by making a digital Mary Sue for vulnerable teens the way they are always doing on crime shows. Except this could be a potential Mussolini.

The point is that it is building a perfect character.

Occupiers
The party are invading soldiers in either a non-nuclear WW3 or a civil war - the threatre is a (former...?) TL 8 first world country (circa 2030s), even, but the PCs are not familiar with their assigned mission territory. Long story short, the big mission that the campaign revolves around is the party taking over and securing an important town in enemy/disputed territory. They face many dangers; partisans, scummy collaborators using you as cat's paws, rebels, spies, riots, assassins, their own side going "cowboy", deserters, disrupted supply lines, small town intrigues fermenting into threats to public order, sabotage, culture clash, and actual opposing modern military forces on the same footing as their side. The soldier PCs will go on patrols, investigate rumours, set up outposts, ferret out enemies, impose order on an unruly civilian populace, and grow increasingly worried that they are the baddies.

Re: Ideas Are Easy
That's also where my mind went as well. Something about that book really drove home the difficulty and scope of invading and conquering a planet with a few billion people on it, even after you've taken space.
