So you want to know where I came up with the term "duck" , and
why I use it to describe over-armed Sammies. OK, I'll tell you
about the time I first heard it used.  It was about two years
ago, when a few of my college buddies decided to take a trip into
New York City for a "duck hunt."  Wondering what they meant, I
grabbed my H&K, several clips, got in the car and went.  During
the hour's ride down the Long Island Expressway, they explained,
it went something like this:

"We were hanging down in Queens Village one day when this Sam
comes running down the street, with a whole precinct of Metro-
Cops on his tail. Well, he wasn't really running, he was kinda
staggering side to side. We kept an eyeball on the guy as the
heat started opening up on him, and it looked like he was
carrying enough firepower to level the city!  The dude was
carrying an AK97, and had about four or five heavy pistols on his
belt.  He also had an ingram smartgun, a combat shotgun, and of
all things an assault cannon strapped to his back.  He had so
much ammo on him that he's lucky he didn't blow up when he
started shooting.  The heat seemed to be playing with him,
letting him waddle away for a while, then chasing him down and
pumping shots at him, then letting him go again (they must not
pay those guys too well).  We kept watching for a while, and the
heat finally surrounded him and reduced him to a bleeding pile of
fate meat. We thought it was the funniest thing we ever saw."

Anyway, my buddies got a line from a Johnson about a
runner who was trying to make a fast break with some goods.  The
description the got was similar to the dude they saw the heat
scrag. The guy was a sitting duck with all that gear, he never
had a chance to use any of it. It was the easiest nuyen I ever
earned.  Sometimes speed and skill are a lot more useful than all
the guns in the world!

Well, isn't that extra special. You've got some unique hobbies
there, Dark Elf.

It's been my experience that Advisors are Minor Spirits, like
Watchers.
