Yeah I took that one side mission, too. Not much more than a few extra nuyen and, maybe, a half-dozen karma points. I was hoping that, before the final leg of the game, we'd have the opportunity to run a few missions to make some nuyen and getting more karma. Nope; I was wrong.
I don't think Bob's issue is that he couldn't buy them durring the game, just that the last mission has no opportunity to restock before sending you into the meatgrinder. After you came out of the previous meatgrinder.
And I think they did the Shadowrun community a horrible disservice by having that story character join you. My stats weren't quite as good as his (though my Intelligence and Quickness were actually higher!), but, my drone did a number on him thanks to the crappy targeting/masking/where-the-hell-is-my-target's-hot-spot bugs.
When he said he was joining us, I was actually afraid that we'd need him. Not that I'd be popping Doc Wagon conumables on him every few turns.
