When he first heard the run was supposed to fail, Boom almost though he was indeed being set up. He discarded that though rather quickly as it made no sense to tell him in that case and that turned out to be smart. "I see. I'm certainly willing to do it, but wouldn't a Decker be a better choice? After all if Renraku does dirt on other Megacorps they might be able to obtain that info for you."

If he was entirely honest he was sure that Shiawase had already considered the idea and discarded it for some reason, but the real point of his question was to make him seem smart enough to be able to pull the mission off and stupid enough to fall  for any potential doublecrosses Moryama had planned for him.
