have happened here in Seattle that's made it impossible to stay.  I'm
leaving for Denver tonight to meet up with some old runners I know.
I'm basically going to disappear for a while so you won't be able to
get ahold of me.  Oh, and if any MCT goons show up and start asking
questions, you never met me.  It's been a fair dinkum of a run.  Good

much for per deim costs?  Let's face it, if I had to I could live on under 30 a
day easily.

But that question is irrelevant to this: you are working with Diana, Hermit,
and Nightingale.  They have a decker guiding them in their efforts by the name
of Dark Angel.  I hope that you are successful soon for DragonEyes sake.  The

***** PRIVATE: Scourge
>>>>>[Alright.  This place is great to visit as a student but dont ever
come here to work.  They are incredibly hoop-tight about the use of magic

Im fairly secure right now.  I had a chance to get a couple of hours of sleep
and I feel a lot better.  My charge is a lot calmer but is no more
talkative than the night before.  I could really use some information...
starting with who owned this deck and what all of this means in the
grand scheme of things.  Speaking of which, Im going to have to
dump this pretty quickly now.  I dont need anyone tracing us using its
<insert techno-babble here> thingie.

We are staying away from everything and everyone right now.  What we definitely
dont need right now is TNO cops (or worse, corp cops) sniffing around my
weaves.

Sprinkler has been a real help. Whats the scoop on him.
No, dont bother just yet.  Ill get back
in touch with you as soon as I have something to read/send info with that is
reliable, untracable (relatively), and clean.

Here are some things that might be of interest to you  --  this is large.
Sprinkler says its compressed as best we could do:

+++++ Encapsulate: deckdump.dmp.C09

Could you dig around in that and let me know if there was anything in there
that I wouldnt want fiddling around in my headware?  There seemed to be some
corp stuff that I couldnt get into that might be part of this fiasco.

Im babbling  --  I guess I havent gotten enough sleep yet and the coffee here
is usually spiked with Jameson's or Tully.  Not that I am arguing, just that
I dont like mixing stimulants with depressants. :P

My deck is there and I am here, if you sent me anything in the last couple
of days its waiting for me back in Seattle.  I will connect to my home machine
and have it forward my mail to me when I am more stable.  Anything overly
important?]<<<<<

***** Private: Conner McDonald
>>>>>[ Have Sprinkler tear apart the deck and see if he can find the tracer
mechanism.  He should know all the tricks of the trade, and if not, now is a
good as time as any to intercept.

Sprinkler is a long story.  And it isn't mine to tell.  But then again
Colleen's isn't mine to tell, and it doesn't look like she wants to talk, eh?

After looking at your little "deck dump" I think you are going to earn your
paycheck.  Where to begin is a better question then what to tell...

The hit was a fake that was arranged by a vp in Consumer Arms.  My guess
is that when you get to a little closer to what the vp is hiding he will
try harder.  The only reference to the person was a codename: Treknak and the
fact that he was a vp.  The reason I say he is that is how the data mentioned
him.

I also now have a lovely itnerary of _EVERYTHING_ you and Colleen have done.
No offense, but I think they knew you were coming.  Which means somewhere we
had some leaks.  Probably on Colleen's end, but I'll check my end as well.

The rest of the data was pretty well coded within the encryption.  I'm still
working on breaking that part.  If my initial guess is right, you could be in
hot water.  I'll get back to you on that in a few hours.

Lastly, you asked about you missing anything in the mail.  The only thing I
will say at this time is that DragonEyes looks to have gotten himself into a
lot of trouble. ]<<<<<

years ago.  He died when someone made a run on Bylar Transports on the second
of February from that year.

By the way, my friends report that there are some noisy people asking about you
and that girl.  He pretended that he didn't know who they were talking about,
but he is very nervous now. ]<<<<<

answering messages I send him, but I have been waiting on instructions from
him for over two days now.  Any ideas what's going on?  ]<<<<<

***** PRIVATE: Neuron Basher
>>>>>[No, I dont miss you.  Im waiting for you to get back so that
I can duct tape your skinny ass to the soda machine.  You were the one that
piddled with my deck, weren't you?

I dont know what is going on with Jas.  He does this alot.  He gets a bug up
his butt and decides that he needs to travel and do research.  Grandpa won the
inter-office pool this month with a correct guess of 2 weeks back in the
office before he took off again.  Every couple of weeks he comes into the office
and sits behind his desk looking at random pieces of electronic mail, invoices
and other stuff then gets up and realizes that things around here run pretty
well without him.  He leaves and heads out to the Y and works out (yes, we
do have a gym here, he seems to like the Y for some reason).  After a
couple of days he gets fed up, tries to push through changes to the board
of directors so that he HAS to sign or initial EVERY LITTLE THING that we
do but that always gets shot down.  Then he leaves.  He is a great magician
and his idea for setting up this place and the hiring practices he has kept up
was wonderful but its gotten to the point where, and I hate to admit this, we
dont need him anymore.  We are more sales oriented than nuts and bolts like
we were at the begining.  Oh well.

He logged in to his home machine a couple of hours ago so he must be ok.  I
wouldnt worry too much about him.  He is probably in Paris somewhere wining
and dining some troll woman.

What are you working on for Jas anyway?  Maybe I can give you some insight
as to what he might want you to do.]<<<<<

***** PRIVATE: Scourge
>>>>>[This is Kor  --  Pardon my random deck usage.

Sprinkler was able to tear down the deck and get it cleaned up but I had him
put it back together.  I (well, Sprinkler did) hired some people to take it
to Dublin and mail it back to the Corp.  They can trace that thing all they
want, hopefully it wont lead back to me.  We are on the move again.

Colleen has gotten it into her mind that she is going to get to the bottom of
even if it means my death (which, at this point, seems a distinct possibilty).

Hold on a second  --  Whats going on with DE?  Last time I talked with
him he was planning on taking off for a while and getting some down time
in.  Maybe do some visiting, hanging out type of stuff?

I gotta get moving again.  If I can get this Deck out of the country, do
you want me to drop it off at your place.  Its a speeder but not worth a
drek load to a creeper like me.]<<<<<

got it.  I dont care.  We are moving again.  Thanks for all of the help.

Coleen wants you to run a check on the name Treknak.  Likely to be a
shadow name of some sort.
+++++ Include: Scourge.rpt.Ed

Danke.  I dont know if you have any magical contacts but I could
use some materials.  If you can help out, that would be great.  Be careful,
this is starting to heat up a lot faster than I wanted it to.]<<<<<

***** Private: Gunner
>>>>>[ About the deck, we can only hope so...

Somehow, knowing her record, that doesn't surprise me.  But you are good from
what I hear.  I have upmost confidence that you can drag yourself and her out
of this alive and figure out what is going on.

Ummm.  DragonEyes posted that he wasn't going to be around much, because he
had to deal with something.  Ratspeak caught wind of the decker how was posting
for him, and watched the decker get gunned down.  He believes they "mind-raped"
him to find out something and then killed him.  Brutally.  I have sent a team
to get to DE first and bring him back to me -- at least until things cool down.
So far no word on how they are doing, but I'm not overwatching that one right
now.

As far as the deck goes: I'd be willing to take it, but maybe Sprinkler
deserves it more.  I'll let you be the judge of that. ]<<<<<

***** Private: Gunner
>>>>>[ No problem.  Hmm.  Very interesting.  Scourge thinks it is going to get
hot, eh?  I wonder what you got me into.  I'll do the digging.  Gives me
something to do on rainy days.

The magical contacts are a no go.  Not my area of knowledge.  I'll ask some of
my friends if they no any reliable people that won't ask questions, but -- but
I don't think you want to live your life on the assumption that I will find
anything to help you out in that respect. ]<<<<<

watch the person who did, and laugh my ass off while he did it.  Hell, I'm
a bit offended.. you should be THANKING me for telling you how to disable the
damned thing.  Women.

As for what I'm doing for Jason, let's just say he was interested in
(1) finding out if a particular creature exists, and (2) possibly "acquiring"
such a creature if (1) is true.  I've found out for certain that (1) is true,
and have located the whereabouts of the creature, but I don't know how to
proceed from here.  What do you think?  ]<<<<<

Like, I'm so sure.  How could you sit there and watch as someone hosed down
my deck?  I dont believe you would do that.  I guess the rest of the office
will sit and laugh while I epoxy you nude to the vending machines.

You can skirt this fate worse than death if you just tell me who it was that
did it.  I promise to get good shots of all of the ensuing mayhem.

As far as what Jas wants.  No clue.  See if you can buy it from whoever
has it.  I talked with Purchasing and cheated up some cash for you.  By the
way, you shouldnt eat at Chez Paul's so often.  That is a sure way to pin
you corp cred-limit to the wall.  I had purchasing clear your credit card so
that should give you more than enough money to work with.  Im certain that
Jas will sign off on paying for it later (after all, YOU got to go on
vacation while the rest of us had to go to that stupid Trade Show)

after a while and had to get thier blood detoxed.  But there was a nice little
surprise from our friends at Maxim.  Apparently they are trying to send some of
us a message, since the excitement of the party was three grenades, of Maxim
manufacture, busting through a window and then just sitting there.  The
explosive had been removed.  There would have been some unhappy people at the
party had they been live....  This and the tails are getting a bit annoying.

contract for security...) showed up.  Whoever was inside managed to get away
but Lone Star and KE and CI-C went at it for a couple minutes, each thinking
that the others were part of the group of thieves. They finally settled down
and stopped shooting at one another then started faking the reports).

I tried to get ahold of the camera footage but that had been destroyed in
the fire fight or stolen or never existed  --  depends on which report you
read.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Hey, I wasnt supposed to tell you this but  --  There is an opening here
at IS&M that you might be more than interested in.

How does  --  Head of Software Development sound to you?

We have to advertise it internal first (the job description is in the same place
as the coffee roster  -- behind the vending machine in the Pit) before we
go external.  I just got promoted to...ready for this?  Head of Operations!

Whatever THAT is supposed to mean.  I accepted the offer but it doesnt seem
like I will be doing all that much more than what I was doing before.

The new job (and title) is yours if you want it.  You need to get your ass
back into town NOW so you can deal with the paper work.  Oh, they are gonna
make you take drug and btl tests so you better be clean.

high-priced help your ambush almost worked.  Needless to say, my current
employer would have been none to pleased.

I survived.  Six adults and three children didn't survive your
detonation of my apartment.  I lost a place to live, but the damn thing
was insured, so my losses were minimal.  But what about the children?
Stupid bitch, your lust for revenge has made you lost sight of everything
else.

Actually, I suppose I should thank you.  For nearly two years I was
drifting, not sure of where to go or what to do.  Now I have a purpose.
Now I have a direction.  Now I know where to allocate my resources.

Yeah, I killed Creeper.  He got in my way three years ago.  Your loverboy
got stupid, and so he got dead.  Guess what Circy?  You got stupid, and
now you are going to get dead.  You killed nine innocents, and for that
alone you deserve to die.  But I also now know you killed Kyrie.  And for
that I shall make you suffer.  Prepare yourself Circy, soon you shall
join Creeper in Hell.]<<<<<

+++++ include news.clip

"Hi there, I'm Stacey Jones and you're watching the latest news on the break in
on Council Island.  This was just filmed ten minutes ago.
---
You see a tall Indian man walking down the street in the cold rain.  For an
elf he looks very haggard.  It takes you a second to recognize him but you are
pretty sure it is DragonEyes.  He doesn't seem to be paying attention to his
surroundings, which seems particularly wrong for the neighborhood he is in.
In the distance you can hear sirens that are getting rapidly closer.
Suddenly a Lone Star car comes screaming into view and enters into a controlled
skid.  DragonEyes seems surprised by its appearance.

The car comes to a stop and a human opens the passenger side door uses it for
cover.  As he is doing this he screams, "FREEZE!  YOU ARE UNDER ARREST
DRAGONEYES!"

DragonEyes looks blank for a second as the scream registers.  He slowly raises
his hands above his head.  The cop quickly comes over and pushes him up against
the wall.  You would be amazed if DragonEyes heard his rights seeing as the
first thing the cop did was put handcuffs on him and then a magehood over his
head.  Quickly the cop reads off the rest of DragonEyes' rights as the driver
gets out of the car and helps push DragonEyes into the back of the car.
Moving pretty quickly -- almost as if they are afraid of getting attacked --
they get back into the car and drive off.
---

"Apparently DragonEyes is being charged the breaking into the house of one
'Jason Stormwind' from the other day.  There are also some rumors that the FBI
is trying to extradite him for some other charges but both Lone Star officals
and FBI officals claimed they didn't know what the heck we were talking about.
At this time there is no date set for when the trial will start.

"In other news . . ."

+++++ interrupt news feed.

I got this off of a pirate channel that is dedicated to talking about people
who got busted by various security agencies.  They get an especially big charge
out of talking about the ones that they don't want mentioned.  Apparently
DragonEyes fit into this category.

Would someone care to explain why DragonEyes would break-in to anyone's house?
Last time I heard correctly, he doesn't do that sort of thing. . . ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Apparently, I'm being watched real carefully by some of my superiors.
They don't want the complications represented by the fact that Lone Star has
captured him.  The way I was told was this:

Boss: "I know you are friends of this 'DragonEyes' and I have watched you
operate for some time now.  As such it is pretty likely that you will try and
respond to his recent arrest.  If you do such, I will terminate your contract.
What we don't need right now is a little skirmish with Lone Star over one
persecuted Indian whether justly or injustly.  Do you understand this?"

Me: "Yes sir."

Boss: "Good."

There was some other stuff he went into, but I really don't think you all
needed to hear that.  Sorry to have wasted your time.  Jeweler you will get the
money for the days you had already put into the case.  As to the others, I'm
sorry to have distracted you from other potential jobs. ]<<<<<
