the IS&M factory / plant.

I havent really cleared this with my boss man but if he argues Im sure I
can handle him (smirk).  Its not going to be anything very big at all...
a few of the old timer staff will be here and I hope some or all of the
above people will show up.

We will be providing nothing (my boss is a cheap skate) so bring what
you like / want to have.

I dont know if all of you are local to Seattle (well, I know the old man (yes,
you, Freddy) is down in San Fran somewhere  --  Oh, by the way, I like your
offices.  You might wanna tighten up security a bit.  I think I caught
your onsite deckers eating Xmas dinner when I showed up  --  Ill send you
a report)) or even in town but feel free to stop by.  We will have the
equipment set up if anyone wants to try out some of the new releases.

vaccine, and then no effects from the protein, even with bigger doses.
You should sending the money to me to give him.  Now we can going safely

The first in-depth series of astral jaunts have also proven rather
interesting. For you mundanes out there, Dragonfly has some commentary.]<<<<<
        --  Damselfly (02:30:20 / 12-28-55)

>>>>>[For those of you who might be interested, Damselfly has this
interesting spell that lets her transform her astral perceptions into a
lovely hallucination for us mundanes. I had the rare opportunity to meet Kim -
- er, Housefly -- the other day, and he loaned me a vidcam. Fortunately, the
spell will work for the camera, too. (Don't ask me how. I'm a freakin' deck
dancer, not a mana slinger.)  So when she dove in, I started recording. I
spent a little time with the VCR patching it together -- I'm no pro -- and
here are the highlights:
+++download video: Three forms are present: a tall, slim, hard featured elfin
woman; a broad, grotesque skeleton with chunks of mostly rotten flesh and
stringy hair dangling from him, dressed in a shimmering tuxedo and tophat;
and a lithe black man whose form seems to shimmer between cat and man, never
truly resolving into either.  A voice {Dragonfly} from behind the camera
speaks: Almost like a toned-down Matrix, eh?  These are our three projectors,
as you probably know.  The woman is Damselfly, the catman is N'gase, and
the... the... the corpse is Jolly Roger. (a different voice {Roger}) Hey now,
man, this is Prime Zombie. I won't be havin' you call me dead. (video continue
s as the three move) Vortices of swirling blue twist around the form of
Roger, who is looking intently at Damselfly. N'gase, emphatically shaking his
head, gestures at him. Damselfly shrigs once, and the scene lurches. The
walls previously visible are gone; now a new set of walls surrounds the
three, and the walls seem to glow with the same bluish light that runs across
the forms of the other three. Other forms are visible, considerably dimmer,
entering and exiting the blue wall. N'gase reaches out to touch the wall,
draws his paw back quickly, then reaches out to touch it again. (voice
{N'gase}) Seems normal. I do not think that this one is very dangerous. Only
unorthodox.  And do you any recognize it? (female voice {Damselfly} and male
voice {Roger} express their ignorance, and voice continues) then we must take
care when approaching. (video) Roger points quickly to above and to the left,
out of the camera's line of sight, and N'gase spins quickly, chanting and
pointing. The cat form momentarily solidifies as a vivid black panther, then
returns to its shimmering. (voice {Roger}) Watcher spirit. Be lookin' for
those. (video) The view shifts to look in the direction of the pointing, but
only wisps of fading blue mark the watcher's former locale. (voice
{Damselfly}) Yes, I can see that this would be problematic. Let me establish
countermeasures. (video) She gestures a bit and her form gains an
uncharacteristic starkness for a moment. Suddenly, a goofy face with wildly
rolling eyes is between her hands. (voice {unknown}) Whoohoo! What a day!
Whee! What can I do ya fer, hey! (video) The form jitters about, circling
Damslefly at a rapidly increasing velocity. (voice {Damselfly}) You can start
by stopping that annoying circuit. (video) The form stops, but looks confused.
 (voice {spirit?}) Circuit? This is a-space, lady. Ain't no dead stuff here.
(voice {Damselfly}) Never mind. Just keep an eye on our vicinity, and if you
see any other spirits, return to warn me. {Roger} Should have 'im tell me.
Time you react, we'll all be dinner. (video) As the spirit flies off,
Damselfly gives Jolly Roger a cold stare. He grins, and were it possible for
an astral form to blanch, she would. (voice {Roger}) So should we try going
through the door? Or you wanna see this other place? {Damselfly} The door
first. We'll do the other place tomorrow. (video) The three slip in behind
one of the less-vivid forms and proceed across an ornate lobby. Forms move
around them as if in a busy office, but the walls remain the bluish tint.
(voice {N'gase}) This place is astrally impregnable, no? Very alive, even the
walls. This is not nice. (video) The other two say nothing, but proceed up
the stairway. The forms are less frequent on the second level. (voice
{Roger}) That elevator wasn't downstairs. Watch out for that. (video) He
points, and the doors in question (also glowing) open. Inside is a heavy haze
of blue light. (voice {Roger}) What the Hell? {Damselfly} I've seen this
before. Microbiologicals pumped into the airstream at high quantities.
Invisible to the naked eye, but opaque to assensing. And you can't really
project through it either. The background count gives me headaches. {Roger} I
can see why. That must be whatever it is we're wanting. Too bad we can't get
there. Two figures emerge from the elevator, both rather vivid. One turns off
to an office and opens the door. The other continues walking toward the
group. (voice {N'gase}) Are those auras from that? {new voice, unknown} No,
we aren't. (video) A huge ripple of blue suddenly arcs between the new form
and Damselfly, who shudders. Roger's arm shoots out, touching the new form,
and it collapses. (voice {Roger, shouting} We found the mages. Let's scoot
hoop! He flashes out of the picture. (voice, behind camera) Hey, boss, Roger
just got a cut over his eye and Damselfly... she don't look good, boss.
Fingers fused and all. I think that maybe... {Dragonfly} Shut up, Housefly.
They're coming back. Just make sure they don't get worse. {Housefly} Oh.
That's pretty. It's the roller-coaster thingy, huh? {Dragonfly} Yes. Go back
and watch them. We'll play it for you later. (video) The room again, with
Roger, N'gase, and Damselfly standing in nearly the same spots. (voice
{Damselfly}) OK, turn it off. I'm going to pass out now.

>>>>>[Hi, I just happen to be a member of the kip posse from Amsterdam
and I'm new to this net and just wanted to inform you on a small discovery
our quit nerdy decker Barabas did a few days ago. While working in his
lab he discovered a new poison that we use in our narcoject's. We are now
making it avaibable for the market. The stuff is called "Purple Death"
after it's nice colour. To get into detail, it actually is a quite lethal
poison. It's only drawback is that it is quite slow to kill. (Actually this
might be considered a plus because this makes it quite painful.) It's
avaibable through mail order from the kip posse for 75 nuyen a dose+p&p.
If you order within a week you also get a "I love Purple Death" button
for free (Retail price: 4.99 nuyen). ]<<<<<
--Sara Shotgun (Sales representative for the kip posse)
{Game notes: Purple Death or a similar poison is quite easy to make. It
requires quite common materials worth 250 nuyen and a succes on a
Chemistry (8) test. This will produce a number of doses equal to
Intelligence. The effect of Purple Death is as follows. The victim
must take a body test every day for a period of a week against a target
number of 6. Each failure lets the victim lose a point of Strength and
Body. if one of the two reaches zero, the victim dies. Antidote can be
made in the same way, thought the target number drops to 6 and a dose of
Purple Death is required. Side effects of the poison are: Fever, Severe
pain, and disabilaty to keep any food inside your stomach for longer then
3 seconds.}

the recent, _unfortunate_ turn of events in Chicago, as well?  He did,
after all, grow up there.  He still has many friends amongst the Mafiaso.
 Many who made their homes amidst the chaos of the
Noose, and the Shattergraves.

In fact, all which remains of his "family" still dwelt nearby.  I'm _sure_
his concern for them must be nigh on _overwhelming_, to say the
least.

Tis not unreasonable to think he's been made aware of young Mitchell's
untimely demise, as well.  He was _quite_ familiar with the
Truman family, having known them since he was but a boy.  Why,
I believe he'd known Mitchell, virtually since the lad's _birth_!

Tis _always_ difficult to hear of the loss of one so young, so full of
ambition and promise.  But, when you've called that one "friend"...]

his friends.  Buzz, One, you and your friends will not come to Anna, IF you
are not already in the area; Two, IF you are in the area, you will
immediately leave; and Three, you will never interfere with me and my
organization, again.  If these conditions are met Dragon will be allowed to
live; If not, he will die in excrutiating pain.  Now to deliver my little
promise:
+++++Trideo Feed
           The camera shows a dim room with concrete walls, without any
windows, and a stainless steel floor.  The only light seems to be coming from
a single light bulb swinging gently on a long wire.  You see clamped in a
sitting position on a chair (with what seem to be wires attached) a short,
calm Japanese male.(most of you recognize this form to be Dragon)  Standing a
short distance away is a burly human, that you have never seen before.  This
human is dressed in camoflage clothing and wears a black beret hat has a
white fist overlaid with a red roman numeral 5.  The camera pans to a steel
door with a plexiglass window with steel bars crisscrossing it.  The door
opens and in enters a human male, who looks to be middle-aged; stands about
6', and looks to be well-built although lean.  His sandy-blond hair looks
like it is just barely starting to grey.  The camera gives him a close-up and
you can see the malice in his cold blue eyes.  The camera gives a full
shot,as he walks over to Dragon and speaks to the burly human, "Mugsy, is
this fool secured?"

The burly human replies, "Yess, he izz, Bawss."

Dragon calmly states, "Abrams, you won't win."

The lean human backhands Dragon, who doesn't even flinch, and orders, "You
will keep your mouth shut until asked, is that understood."
Dragon just looks at the human as if annoyed, but says nothing.

The lean human asks, "Where are your friends?"

Dragon does not answer.

The lean human backhands Dragon, once more: "ANSWER ME!"

Dragon replies, "Go to hell, Abrams."

The lean human (who you thought; but only now know to be Abrams), turns to
Mugsy and says, "Let's give him a little illumination."

Mugsy walks over to one of the walls where you now see a large switch.  "Give
me the word, Bawss."

Abrams turns back to Dragon, "I'll give you one last chance, where are
they?!"

Dragon says, "In Seattle, you fool."

Abrams states, "You lie.  Mugsy."

Mugsy throws the switch, and Dragon's body starts to jump uncontrollably; but
to your amazement there is no sound coming from Dragon, he doesn't seem to
feel the electricity flowing through his body.  Abrams says after about a
minute, "Enough."  Mugsy returns the switch to its original position.

Abrams asks, "Who else is with you?"

Dragon growls, "I am alone."

Abrams smiles, "Why are you here?"

Dragon replies, "I was hired to find out what is going on here."

Abrams laughs, "Tell us the truth.  You and your friends heard about things
that are going on around this area, and you came here to thwart me, Right?"

Dragon says, "No."

Abrams says, "Mugsy, give him a bigger dose."

Mugsy replies, "But bawss, we're already using enough to kill weak elvess.
 If we use a higher dose he may die and what good will that do uss?"

Abrams spits, "I did not get you assigned to me for your thoughts.  But on
this one instance, I will agree with you."  Abrams thinks for about a minute,
"Alright, give him some Sodium Pentothol, and we'll see if we can get the
information we want out of him; but, first, I will tell him how dangerous I
am."  Addresses Dragon, "Well, you will not tell us what we wish to know; in
that case, you need to know something about me.  I have, in the past, ordered
the destruction of a villiage in S-S Council lands.  The village's name was
Silver Lake.  I ordered it's destruction to cause a war between TT and NAN,
and if that had failed to place the blame on Aztlan and the UCAS.  All to
promote my country's interests.  I can easily destroy you as well."

Dragon replies calmly, "I do not fear death.  It will be a release from this
state of being."

Abrams growls, "Give him the drug."

Mugsy moves to Dragon and gives him a shot.  the camera fades and the scene
is no more.

working on getting the truth out of him.]<<<<<
