First, we require you to purchase thirty Barret 121 rifles, sixteen Ares HVARs, forty-five Spas-22s, and three Great Dragon ATGMs. They are to be shipped to **Location**, Portland, TT. Second, we require you to take five Steyr AUG-CSL variable weapons off our hands, as well as twenty five Remington Roomsweepers, perhaps half of which have been retro-fitted with smartgun technology. We also have two Ferrari Appaloosa Light Scout vehicles that we ... find to be too warm for our tastes. Please do not go below 750,000 nY on the latter craft. Next, a shipment of Crystech MatrixFlyer cyberdecks requires transport from a warehouse in Springfield, IL, UCAS, to Tokyo; accompanying them will be a pair of personages needing relocation. Additional monies for their well- being will be sent, as well as for the inconvenience of meta/human tranport. A shipment of two hundred SAMs, twenty launchers, twenty suits of Medium Security armour with helmets, certain specific modifications thus **mods**, and a full twenty-man tactical communication system needs acquiring. We will have ready a shipment of Enfield AS-7 assault shotguns prepared in Houston, if you can move them from the CAS, along with twenty thousand rounds of ammunition. The entire shipment will be going to New Guinea, in specific, **location2**. We believe that will be all; if you require anything, simply let us know. It has, as we are sure it will always be, been a pleasure doing business with you and your company. ]<<<<< -- OS^2 <19:00:00/11-30-55> >>>>>[ This is Galle, Sri Lanka. My name is Innagoddadavida; I am a combat decker, and I used to live in Chicago. When all of the drek went down, I thought I was going to die. The buddhists that I found myself with for the past couple of weeks say that I had made peace with my death, and became a true warrior; I think I just didn't give a frag any more. I went out hunting the bugs, trying to save other people, but killing as many insects as I could before I finally died. Obviously, I didn't die. The reason is, I guess, because I found people -- a few of them, not many at all -- that were there to hunt the bugs, too. The first one I found called herself Kali; I figure her to be a street sam, maybe some kind of courier. She always carried a pack of chips with her, swapping them in and out every few hours hours. She said that, if she died, for me to take the pack, get to where she'd hid the rest of her gear, and make sure that the chips got out to the real world. She's wired for simsense, see. And she put herself on constant record. We both got out of Chicago, but not before seeing what Hell must be like. Over the next few days, I'll be uploading to all Shadowland echo stations the contents of Kali's chips; while with those buddhists, we worked on them, refining them and all that. Guess you don't need to be a genius to work that stuff after all... more or less. A lot we've cut out; the important things are there, what's gone on in Chicago. We're alive; a lot of good people aren't. Kali stayed with the buddhists, said it was safer, even if she had to live in seclusion the rest of her life. I have other people with me; Styx says she's okay, Markuus and Bluerazor tell their families in Omaha that they're alive and safe. Mario stayed back, but something tells me he knows more than he told us, even though that was a lot; maybe I'll see him again, maybe not. In any case, have fun experiencing. It wasn't fun living it. ]<<<<< -- Innagoddadavida <19:11:48/11-30-55> ***** PRIVATE: Freddy Frypp >>>>>[Things are cool up here. I feel a hell of a lot better. Have not been able to approach the hounds yet and they have not accepted Castor and Pollux yet. They are still a little territorial (that is to be expected). Both Castor AND Pollux are pretty dominate and strong fighters (they have also had a lot more training) so I suspect that we will only lose one or two adult males (the leaders) as we install Castor as the dominate male of the pack. There are 12 total hounds down here (making the loss of 2 pretty devistating) 7 pups 2 adult males and 3 females. I suspect there there might be another pack somewhere nearby due to the fact that the number of pups is off by a bit. There arent enough females to support this pack. I think that I am just going to have Castor challenge the lead male and see what happens. I cannot get very close as they can smell my magic no matter what I do to mask it. That is the glory of having hell hounds for magical defense. Its very hard to get something magical past them. I cannot say that I miss the bustle of the city. Its far too peaceful here. You should try this sometime...just come and be one with nature for a while. Fresh air, a good companion, and all the food you can catch. Speaking of which, could you stop by a stuffer shack and have someone bring me up some chow, Im going nuts. NOTHING my father taught me about camping stuck. I cant fish, I cant hunt, and couldnt set a trap to save my life. Some big Native American Icon I am. Maybe I can get one of the pups to share dinner with me -- nah, I didnt bring my flameproof long johns. NEVER NEVER try to take food from a hell hound. I dont care if you have hand fed him from birth. At about the age of 6 or 8 months they remember their hunting instincts and its hot times in the kitchen tonight.]<<<<< -- Kor <19:10:00 / 12-01-55> >>>>>[ Good evening, Macros.

Thanks, ]<<<<< -- Aardvark (19:23:13/12-01-55) ***** PRIVATE: Kor, Scarface >>>>>[ Sorry it took me so long to respond. Doomsday, Scarface and I had to vacate the local premises, because the temporary lease was over and we didn't feel like paying the bill ourself. You are not the only one considered a fugitive by the Sioux nation. Shadowfox is too. He may be capable of helping out if you ever need to go back to there if you need it. If you do ask help from him, make sure you mention that I sent you. It shouldn't hurt you any. Thank you for explaining what isn't going right in your life. I'll say this once and only once. I want you to do the following: 1) Stop drinking. If you don't, I'll kick your ass for it. 2) Come to >>encrypted<<. Yes that is in Denver. As part of the last run, I said that I would cover medical expenses. It sure sounds like you could use a talking to. If you don't think I can help you, ask Diana how I helped AJ out once upon a time. 3) If you don't come, I will have Doomsday and Scarface drag you to me. Blitzkrieg is highly unstable at this point, otherwise I would have included him on the list. I don't think it would help him any to see you self-destruct after pulling you out of Pittsburgh. He isn't clear-minded enough to understand what you are going through. Hell, he doesn't understand what he is going through. I'm working on him with some associates of mine. I'll offer you the same assistance free of charge. All you have to do, is simply accept it. (But keep in mind point #3 from above.) I really want to help you out, but I'm not the person to go hunting down assassins. The only way I can help you is by making you stop drinking, and help recover from the events. Think on this well. I'll give you a week to consider my offer. If I haven't heard anything by then... well, I gave you warning. ]<<<<< -- DragonEyes <10:31:20/12-1-55> >>>>>[Information: Dont go there. You will die. I was there once. It was not a happy time. I would love to be able to scare you by telling you that, of my entire team, I was the only one to get out but it wasnt really that way.

I gots some video I need to shoot off to you. I ran into a problem the other night. Why didnt you tell me we had non-hostiles (as far as I can tell) out here? I have an interview with a bear shaman named Treebear who lives out here and claims that the hounds are his. We need to talk. ]<<<<< -- Kor <18:40:46 / 12-01-55> >>>>>[ Kor, you need to remember something about Nightmare. He doesn't apply to "When you first came to this land ..." He has lived most of his life in Germany. He is a native German. He doesn't give a frag about imperialism in North America. You claim that all things have a right to live. Are you going to say that about insect that come from places like the Universal Brotherhood? Are you going to say that about toxic spirits that haunt highly-emotionally charged places from death, hurt, "sensless" violence? No, I don't think even you would. Nightmare claims the right via what AJ has done against metahumanity and Germany. Nightmare claims the same right when attacking people who deal with toxic spirits. I would too, if I was capable of fighting them. Yet the only place I can battle is in the matrix. Harmony is a talisman to people who have only known disharmony of work all their lives. He and I and most of you out there, make your lives from the shadows. You can't live in harmony when you are constantly living in breaking someone's rules, be it made from various corporations or governments or even certain terrorist groups. It's hard to live in harmony with someone who is brainwashed into believing that the best answer to prevent a shadowrunner is either killing him, or keeping him captive until a time is needed to use his/her talents to hurt someone else. Face it, that's a shadowrunner's existance. We go from job to job to survive, doing stuff that will inevitablly hurt someone. Ask Doomsday. Ask Punisher. Ask Macros the Black. Ask HAMMER. Ask Shadowfox. Ask Freddy Frupp. Ask Dark Angel. The names matter little. The fact remains, that even if you do a job with good intentions, someone, even if it is a corrupt little fragger like Ganz, will get hurt. Nay, Herr Nightmare had every right to kill AJ. And I knowing little of what Nightmare faced in his dilema in letting AJ go, would personally kill a vampire rather than face it as a future enemy. Not just opponent, enemy. An enemy is one who is out to kill you not matter what the cost. Ganz was a good example of that. An opponent is one who merely is present to oppose you in your efforts for a different purpose than yours. He would be one that doesn't care about hurting you specifically as long as he finishes his job. If the job fails and you were the cause of it, he wouldn't come after you for revenge. He would merely move on to another job. But Action Jackson represents an enemy to Nightmare. Even without the latest incident, I have no doubts that if AJ could have, he would dealt harshly to both HAMMER and Nightmare at the same time. Most likely even killing both. Some wonderful harmony, huh? A vampire to the planet. I like that. Such images it creates. Sorry to say, but society created shadowrunners. Society gave them little or no morals in order for the shadowrunners to survive. Frag off, if you think that Nightmare or anyone else should be blasted for wanting to survive one more day. Ganz would have done something far more 'evil' to AJ if he captured him. I think it speaks volumes of the differences between Nightmare and HAMMER or Ganz. You yell at Nightmare for his actions. Why not yell at all the fragging governments and corporations in the world? You are a sap to believe that Nightmare is worse then them. Nightmare does things for a reason that isn't motivated by profit. They do. I don't know what his reasons are, but I think I can guess on them from previous things I have seen him post here. He wants to survive to die of old age. Live as naturally possible for a human in his shoes. You blast him, you fragger. Might as well blast everyone else on that enters this node then. You sap. His people.... Kor, he has no people. He has a nation, but he can't even take responsibility for them, because they labled him a 'traitor.' He is a shadowrunner now. He might as well not have loyalties, for you don't need loyalties or niceties to be one. Yet you blast him personally, for raping the planet. WHAT THE FRAG DO YOU THINK WAS HAPPENING IN GERMANY!!! You idiot. +++++ open text1.203.2345 (Editor notes: Found this digging in BIS, in one of HAMMER's directories) Today I sent off a company of MET2000 to interrupt Nightmare, Shadowfox, and Doomsday's merc company. They are apparently in Africa trying to prevent a mine operation that is using dwarven slaves. Few days later: Apparently the mining operation is also abusing the environment. Oh to interfere, and capture and kill them, and gain the mining operation. Would be a true coup. I wonder how to achieve it. ++++ close text file. This merc group from the looks of things, was attacked for trying to free dwarven slaves in a dirty mining operation. HAMMER I bet has major control of the mining operation now! To boot, HAMMER was going for revenge on whatever reasons. Yet Nightmare let HAMMER go inspite of this fact, to free a friend. Something tells me that is more of a sacrifice than you would commit at this point in time. If you are going to scorn anyone, you might as well scorn the society that brought us all up. We are controlled by it. If you condemn Nightmare and me, then you condemn yourself to. You grew up in the same society, even if you ever try to claim the indians are better, I will start laughing now. Native Amreican's have proved one thing since gaining land through wars and such, for whatever the cause, and that is, that they too will stop at nothing to get their goals. On that basis alone, even they have earned the death sentence you are so willing to assign. Where is my collegue Scourge to carry out this justice? Are you so "good" to be the judge, jury, and executioner of people you don't even know, by simple stereotypes. I can guarantee you that only about 5 people on this node even have a prayer to understand Nightmare. And that comes through knowing him real well. You don't know him at all, and yet you accuse. That is more a problem then one person's wanting to kill something that more than likely should not be. I don't claim to understand vampires, nor do I particularly want to. Yet, throughout various myths there has always been attempts to kill vampires for whatever the reason. If you read the myths and are brought up in our culture where there is an almost universal bounty for ghouls and vampires and things like them, then you cannot be faulted for having the desire to kill one. I know plenty of people all over the world that would have killed anything/anyone for money. My guess is that someone paid for a sniper to kill your father, Kor. Most likely knowing governments like I do, it came from inhouse. Dwell on that. You stated: "You were asked how you would life if you knew you needed to kill to survive another day -- You do." Does he know? I don't know how many people Nightmare has supposedly killed in his day as an operative of BIS, nor do I know how many people he killed in Africa, but I do know the following. The only two confirmed kills that I have seen reported to this node of his are Gutterrat and Steelwings. That's it. In over two years, that is pretty damn low. There were more innocent people killed in New York by freeing Action Jackson from his trial that was being held by Interpol. How interesting, yes? You go on to say: "Each day your people kill to survive." Who the frag are his people? I traced Rebar. He is weakly connected to Yakuza. The only other person that we definitely know was present is WHAT. No idea on what his relationship is with the Yakuza, save for this. He knows and is a friend of Shadowfox, who is currently stuck in Japan. Draw your own damn conclusions. You seem so eager to anyway. What do they gain from killing? Well if you are talking about Yakuza it is the same damn thing that all criminal organizations. If you are talking about Nightmare, I don't know what the hell you are talking about. I assume you are talking about Gaea when you mention she. And if so, Gaea is a little more accepting of people's faults than you seem to be. You seem to forget something vastly important. I will take a page from the book of - I believe Doc Grizzle and DragonEyes here - "it is far easier to hurt and kill than it is to forgive." And now that I take the time to read what I have typed so far, I agree with them. You attack, but you never ask why? I attack and I already know why. I attack for I know Nightmare by reputation enough to know that he wouldn't waste his time responding to something so inane like this, and I felt that this time he actually deserved some defending. You attack because he had such an eagerness to try and kill Action Jackson. If he was so eager, he would have never let HAMMER live or Action Jackson live. If he was such the killer and bloodsucker that you make him out to be, he would have never tried to help Shadowfox, Doomsday, and probably 100 other good people, end the mining operation. Nightmare has at least learned tolerance of people who would outright kill him if the sides were switched. It appears you haven't even learned that, you fool. You suggest that killing to prove a point, to send a message, to kill entire races is all faults of Nightmare. You forget a few things, like that everyone discriminates against something. You forget that if Nightmare was so out to kill people why would he have even risked his life to help out a few hundred dwarves stuck down in a dark mine. You forget that if Nightmare was so out to kill people that he did let HAMMER go, and with much regret let AJ go too. How much more you forget is unknown to me. I suspect it is a lot more than you will ever admit to yourself, much less anyone like me. Slavery. Killing. After reading and rereading your post, and then consulting the mass evidence acquired over the past years from this node, I would suggest for you the following: Find fault within yourself before you condemn all of humankind. History has proven that Native Americans had hierarchical societies and that they weren't any kinder about keeping it in the status quo than our collective society is now. You blame entire histories on one man's willingness to kill a vampire which preys on metahumans. And then you say we should all be killed, hmm? Thank you for condemning everyone. You're so high with your grand views, and yet you would kill us all. If we don't have the right to kill a fragging vampire, what the frag gives you the right to kill us?!? Frag off hypocrite! You called Nightmare a 'self-righteous asshole.' I would end this by saying, that you, who accuse many are the 'self-righteous asshole.' The rest of us are just merely trying to survive in the current society. You pathetic sap! ]<<<<< -- Ratspeak <12:19:20/12-1-55> >>>>>[ You speak up for Nightmare, Ratspeak? I'll have to reappraise my opinion of letting government work go to you. ]<<<<< -- HAMMER <12:20:20/12-1-55> >>>>>[ Speak in the name of justice, only if you too are prepared to face it. Kor, before you go off condemning people, you need to be impartial to what is happening. It is obvious you are not. False trial. Justice must be served, but it cannot be done fairly by people like you. The point you tried to make about Nightmare only proved one thing about our society. No one should have any voice. That scares me. Let me phrase it this way: If you are willing to condemn one person due to the history of his people, and what he is willing to do for his country and honor, then you might as well just blow up the planet and kill everyone on it. No one would live. If you think you can escape that claim, switch "country" for "beliefs - for ideals -" and you have everyone else. If you are willing to condemn one person for what society has created, then you need to kill yourself first, because you are as much a part of society as anyone else. If you are willing to sentence one person to a fate, and you cannot overlook the background noise, then you should not be judging others, for you cannot look beyond the surface of things.]<<<<< -- Scourge <12:27:52/12-1-55> >>>>>[They're right. ***** Pause (1 hour, 18 minutes)...LinkTerminted]<<<<< -- Christopher Tarleton >>>>>[I just found Chris in tears at his deck...what's going on?]<<<<< -- Patricia O'Connor <14:39:59/01-Dec-55> >>>>>[ Society just doesn't go away because you hate it.

Ratspeak picked out a select few on this node to point out, but he could have filled up megabytes with names of people forced to live like Nightmare. I -- fit into it. I don't like saying that. Sometimes we create an image and hide behind that image because we cannot deal with what society forces us to be. I could blame my current state on Nightmare, yet if he wasn't there, I probably find another to blame. That too is a facet of our society. There is always someone to take up the gap. There is always something to fill the void. Usually something worse will fill the void. And nothing will change what has already happened. Oh Diana, I'm back in home territory.

I suppose I have done this just to make sure that you (Christopher) receives this. Christopher: I wanted to offer you a chance to come down to visit Blitzkrieg, Scarface, Doomsday and I in Denver. We all have painful pasts, I will never try to deny it. I just wanted to offer you a chance to talk to me and some others that have painful pasts. I cannot speak for the others, but I at least, am willing to listen and help as I can. To give you an idea of what I am talking about, I'll say this. Until I punched out FireWraith when people were going after Ganz, I had never physically attacked someone. Until I led the raid on Universal Brotherhood, I never thought I would ever come up with a reason to kill something. That changed. Because of the Universal Brotherhood, I will NEVER be allowed to return home. At least as things stand now. I don't think I have stopped having nightmares about all that I have gone through. Still, though I am far from perfect, I offer you aid. I would be delighted to see you. And heck, who knows, maybe Blitzkrieg will stabilize enough to be social for a change.

Get in contact with Hardwire privately for arrangement of your payment. Thanks for your help once again. It was appreciated.]<<<<< -- Backlash <18:20:34/12-1-55> ***** Private: Irish >>>>>[ Irish, too open of questions about the pyramid can often get in serious trouble with Aztecnology. As to the pyramid itself, it is rather hard to penetrate, though it is possible. Any entry would have to be composed of an experience team of people who are used to working together. I have made it in and out of the pyramid successfully more than once while with my teamates, but without us helping each other, none of us would have made it alive. We also knew exactly where we were headed. I would not suggest attempting to enter the pyramid unless it was the only way to reach a goal. At that point I would try and change the goal to something less hazardous to my existance. If I was still forced to enter, I would then gather a very good group of runners to help in the attempt and plan and train for it. Many times, the easier way is less noticable, but if you spend time searching for it, it is well worth your while.]<<<<< -- Claw <18:35:29/12-1-55> >>>>>[ OS^2 Ya know what sugar? That little message ya sent out sure was a neat little thing. Ya should have seen the commotion at the Seattle UCAS military base when of the better deckers there told the commander. It seems that the military wouldn't mind confiscating them and then using em for their own people. Of course, then there was that cute decker out of the Tir, he seemed ta be mighty interested that ya'all were plannin on sendin so much hardware into their country. Luckily, I don't think that the CAS folks have seen this one yet, but they probably will find out from one of their deckers who will be investigating why the Seattle base is in such an excited state. Not wantin ta pry or anything, but what army are ya tryin ta gear? Also, ya may want ta make your postings less obvious, most military decker that Ah know of have programs to look for key words like weapons names. Ah personally have a few ta look up my favorite sim and rock stars.]<<<<< -- Circuit Breaker >>>>>[Hernandez, huh? Interesting.]<<<<< -- Irish <19:20:55/01-12-55> >>>>>[Ms. Circuit Breaker, we already know what is going on, I am afraid to say. With Buzz and his friends out of the way, I have nothing to worry about from anyone.]<<<<< --Jacob Abrams(23:13:30 EST/12:01:55) ***** Private: Claw >>>>>[Aztech might notice my intrest in the pyramid. What are they going to do, move me from the "Better Dead" list to the "Better Dead" list? I have an objective, I simply need to locate its position within the pyramid.]<<<<< -- Irish <21:45:45/01-12-55> *****PRIVATE: OS^2 >>>>>[I have only a vague and disturbing clue as to who you are, but I must admit to being interested in the job you mentioned. I am lacking information on this Macross the Black, and pending the results of an information download from you, I may accept the contract. We may not like each other, but I think you know enough about me to know that I am indeed a _very_ formidable combat mage. I await your response.]<<<<< --the Whistler<21:54:40/12-1-55> ***** Private: Claw, AJ, Roxxy, Slash, Dark Angel, Lister, Spirit, Caine >>>>>[ Hi, I'm not sure if you all remember me. I'm Irish's ward, Erika, and I met most of you at Spirit's halloween party. I figure that you are the best people to ask for help since he has mentioned you. The problem is that he has been acting very weird lately, as if he is about to do something and not come back alive. He has been staring alot at his picture of his old marine platoon that got captured and tortured to death in Aztlan, he and a grunt who is at Chicago right now are the only two that made it back alive. Also, he has remade his will aleast 4 times in the past 3 weeks and has had a few friends keeping a closer, more protective watch over me. Along with making sure that one of his old Ares friends will take care of me. He seems to be planning something dangerous, he has been locating at a lot of vague diagrams for the Pyramid and also for some strange mall in Pyallup. And he has been cleaning and checking his equipment costantly. At night he has been having nightmares and mumbling the name "Hernandez", I believe he has something big to do with the stuff with the platoon. For the past week he hasn't even complained about my coffee, which is surprising since it has been even worse than normal, it actually ate through and styro-foam cup and I can now scoop it with a fork. Shiv (a friend of ours) told me that he evwen bought two rounds of drinks for everyone at Lou's Bar & Grill, he never spends money, let alone on drinks for a bar. Most importantly though, there are reports of an Ambassador for Aztlan to the Sioux Nation who was killed today, her name sounds like she might be related to the guy I talked about above, Hernandez. If any of you can give me any help, or just find out whats going on, I would be very thankful and happy.]<<<<< -- Erika <22:51:39/12-01-55> ***** PRIVATE: the Whistler >>>>>[I give up. I just cannot deal with this any longer. I guess it came down to there being nothing left to live for. Its just wasnt worth it anymore. I dont really have any real friends. Yeah, I have people that I pal around with but they arent friends. There is you, Trixie, and the hounds. Thats it. Everyone else ranges from tense outwardly visible animosity to lightly veiled caution. The thought of having to continue watching and waiting for the sniper to come back for me was getting to be too much. I wish I could say I am sorry. Im not. I wish that there was a little something that I could leave you but there isnt much left in the way of money. IS&M locked me out of making purchases over five-hundred nY without signature. I would leave you stock but I doubt that you would want it anyway. I know -- Down at the Bus terminal near 5th and Grand there is a locker registered under the name of John Flansburgh. Ill drop the key into the mail and you can have the contents. My old SMG, a still suit, and a briefcase with bug sweepers / jammers. Might be of some use to you. I'd leave you my armor but it got pretty fragged up during the insect raid...Oh, THERE was a mistake. Do you have any idea of the number of people that died because of what I did there? I dont know. I can only assume that it was in the hundreds. I used to pride myself on the fact that, even when working for AZ, I was able to honor my own morals of never killing innocents, those who were paid to oppose me, or anyone who didnt deserve it. The only time I have EVER killed... and his face comes to me so clearly now, was years ago. I dont even know his name. I used to remember is. I killed him. He was just doing his job. _I_ was the one intruding. _I_ was the one who was breaking into HIS place of work. And for what? What caused me to kill? To save a friend. I did too. I saved him. I traded one life for another. Is that fair? No, I dont think so. Chiun. Dragon. Lives in china. They didnt hunt him down, HE attacked their installation and they defended themselves. Nerve gassed him and his entire group. He survived. Called us to get the antidote. We didnt ask questions. He needed us, we came. I consciously traded that mans life for the life of a great dragon. Not so great really. +++++ Include: Picture of Chiun And then there was Kellory. He was a vampire. Great guy, for the most part. I killed him. I think he wanted to die though. Had this elaborate plan for "killing all the vampires" by nuking the planet. Couldnt allow that. I killed a friend. A good friend. He was one of the first to accept me when I came out of AZ on the run and I killed him. Traded his life for mine. Nothing as grandios as thinking I was saving the planet, it was, in my mind, my ass or his. I chose his. And I killed him. +++++ Include: Picture of Kellory I have a warehouse out in the Barrens. You should go there and type in this passcode to get in 9271459. Thats the master code. It should allow you to enter and turn the security system off and on at will. My magical library is under the loose stone in the center of the summoning circle at the North East corner. There are various other things on it that you might be interested in. Please post the information on vampires. Thats a few life times of work for Kellory. Like I said, he expected to die and he mailed that to me before we went on the job.]<<<<< -- Kor <03:01:45 / 12-2-55> *****PRIVATE: Kor, Freddy Frypp >>>>>[Kor was that you who set off my fucking guns. You stupid drek-head, you should have told me you had a death wish. I apologize for the expletives, I'm just a little upset. Let me know if you want me to come talk with Treebear. I found a dead wolf with an arrow in his eyeball last night, so I think Treebear is helping me out.]<<<<< -- Tunnel-Rat (08:05:03 / 12-2-55) *****PRIVATE: Kovak >>>>>[I am looking for a demolitions expert to make a run against a Renraku warehouse in Seattle. I'll pay 50K nY per runner on your team. Are you willing to take the job?]<<<<< -- Fixer (08:10:23 / 12-2-55) *****PRIVATE: Fixer >>>>>[You got a deal. I'll meet you at Joe's Tavern tonight at 1900.

Found out something interesting though, that you might be able to deal with. The Sioux government found one of the people wanted for "questioning" about an assassination of one of their top mages. Any ideas on this... probably would be good paydata if so. I've attracted unwanted attention here. Take care. And do not contact me. ]<<<<< -- Shadowfox <11:53:39/12-2-55> >>>>>[ Drek. Fenris, the fox is trapped. Figure out what that means to you. Doomsday, Scarface, and Blitzkrieg I want to talk to ASAP. We're going hunting for someone. I have a really bad feeling about this. Scourge, you know how to contact me, if you could do so soon, it would be appreciated. Nightmare, you manage to cause more trouble than you ever were worth! ]<<<<< -- DragonEyes <11:55:49/12-2-55> ****** Private: FireWraith >>>>>[ I have avoided doing this for a long while because of several reasons. Hell, I don't even know if you are going to check this. Rebecca is in hot water in Japan. If you could help out, it would be great. That is of course assuming you actually are a) alive, and b) even thinking to check here. ]<<<<< -- <11:58:33/12-2-55> >>>>>[ Kor, what the frag do you mean "DON'T BOTHER!?!" I don't fragging believe this. Your giving up talking to people just because some two-faced decker attacks you for your views. Damn it... stand up for what you believe in. Sorry chummer, you just lost your grace period with me. And just great... I'm starting to talk a little bit like Doomsday *shudder*. ]<<<<< -- DragonEyes <12:07:47/12-2-55> ***** Private: Freddy Frupp >>>>>[ I don't know you, but I believe you might have resources to help out. I have a friend named Kor who seems to be going off the deep-end. Would it be possible for a name in your position to find a shadowrunner like Kor and detain him for day or two? If so, I would greatly appreciate the favor. ]<<<<< -- DragonEyes <12:10:45/12-2-55> ***** Private: Dark Angel >>>>>[ Drek, just hit the fan. I think I have one person who maybe suicidal, and I have one that just got himself into some situation that is apparently dangerous. Any ideas? I still want to meet you, but it looks like I will have to be travelling a lot. ]<<<<< -- DragonEyes <12:13:23/12-2-55> >>>>>[ DREK!!! Diana, don't waste your money coming to Denver. DragonEyes has a priority-one job for me, Doomsday, and a few others. Frag it all... I really want to see you again. But I cannot really say no to DE on this one. Hope you'll forgive me for this one. ]<<<<< -- Scarface <12:15:23/12-2-55> >>>>>[Ryuga, Ah say, Ah said, Ah say we've got a problem with our system.

L. (Matrix Security Chief/ Ryaka S&T) >>>>>[Check into them, and relay the results to me. Especially, the island system, as that is our newest system. From the looks of it, the security system designers have gone missing.]<<<<< --Ryuga, CEO Ryaka Science and Tech (15:50:30 EST/12:02:55) *****Private: Ripley, Lou, Whisper >>>>>[ Hey I am back...my contact died after all this time to try to heal him..and make him better. Now I have one less contact...this pisses me off. He died about 4 days ago...the reason I haven't been back is cause I created some Art. Some of my best if you ask me. I did something else, that I did not realize Idid until it was to late...damn my insanity!!!! I wish I was not insane now...why did I do what I did??? I wish I knew why. I also had a dream, and Whisper was in it, I can't explain it, but in the dream it was like I knew him..as a good friend. I am so confused, the doctors told me back at home a year ago that Prozac was supposed to help, but my insanity overcame the medicine. Boy I need help now...I am so shaked up inside. THe voices won't leave me alone at night, they tell me something, but I can't hear them. I need to kill AGAIN. The blood running down my razor claws and right cyber arm. Everytime I jack in the matrix...it is not normal. I can't explain it. This is not normal for me. Soemthing at that fight happened, I need you guys to tell me if anything abnormal happened to me? Did I do something strange? Did I say something strange? It is so wierd, it seems from when we were entering the building, and WHisper knocked out the Orc, everythign went blank for a few minutes, the next thing i know we are fighting the 10 men and Head Mage. I must see what happened during that time, but the god damn camera is broke. I am trying to fix it, but i can't make out much. Lou I am coming over to your place, can i stay there for a while, i need you to watch me in my sleep, and tell me if I say anything. Since you are a mage, maybye you can look inside me or something, open my memory so i can remember what made my mind wanna block out those few minutes during the fight. Please I beg you.]<<<<< -- Tarkis
