In the beginning there was light. And Løøp hated it, so he mostly kept to himself and started tinkering with Drones and spending time in the Matrix.

Weighing the benefits of school, which is no money now and hard work later, against the benefits of no school, which is earning at least a bit of money now and building a virtual imperium, Løøp dropped out of school and worked as a freelance Shadowrunner-apprentice by day and as an hacker at night.

Life didn't turn out quite as expected. His vision to build a market platform for "healing plants" and "chemical health supplements" almost came true, but he had trouble competing against Sandman's business. After a run went south badly, Løøp ended up with damaged drones and had to sell his top-notch rig to keep up with the living expenses.

As a consolation price, Løøp got a job at Sandman's to help out in the shop and to set up the online presence.
