Message no. 1 A quick question:

1) Does anybody on here have "the Stainless Steel Rats" email address? I
know he posts on RN, but I can't afford the time to make subscribing worth
it.

The reason I ask is because I am working on a Mercenary Handbook, tenatively
titled "The Havoc Conference." I know Mr.Rat knows something about strategy
and at least pretends better than most to know something about the military.

After I get a better idea of what I'm doing, and write a framework and some
basics, depending on what our Mr. JD Falk wishes, I may submit parts of it
for NERPS for writing, or perhaps for "comments." Depending on JD and what
other official projects ar in the works, of course.

Some of you may be asking about Edge Runners II, well, I haven't recieved
anything yet, but hardly anyone knows about my new email address, and I
haven't been able to check my old address, so...for now I'm concentrating on
the Merc Book.

In any case, I do need Rat's address.

Erik, a.k.a. the Whistler

BTW, hey Nightfox, I got your message, but the timing was all wrong dude. I
was too busy doing the graduation thing...

S'alright

I got a copy of Edge Runner and Under World Operas Vehicles last
night when I met Mike and some other people for the late showing
of Johny Mnemonic.

Well - now we all know what it looks like when a Person gets
sliced by a monowhip. :)

Now we just have to introduce hand held cyber-scanners from range :)

I have a question here. Does anyone else dislike how they handled Molly
Millions (Jane) in the movie? I mean in Johnny Mnemonic, the story, she not
only had all the contacts, but did all the fighting. In the story, she was
ultra competent and supremely cool as opposed to being just a bodyguard
wannabee/love interest/punching bag for dolf lundgren with high hopes and no
knowledge.

And why, why, why does anyone think that it is neccessary for Henry Rollins
to act?

Well, at least we know how it would look if the recipient of the slice had
had all the blood drained from their body in the instant befoer the whip hit.
I mean, It is arguable that the reason for the lack of blood was the rusult
of the weapon's cauterizing the wounds since the movie version had to glow
red and have something nebulous to do with lasers or electric heater wires or
something.

> Now we just have to introduce hand held cyber-scanners from range :)

I think that that's a marvelous idea, something that has certainly been left
out of the game. Considering how far you can imagine the growth of Nuclear
Magnetic Resonance/Axial Tomography scanning technologies progressing over
the next five decades, it should be more than just metal detectors. That
ought to be something to really make your players wince. :-) Still, if you
are talking about that scene where someone is pointing binoculars at Lundgren
and seeing a readout, then that could be funny. I mean, anyone whose cyber
what-have-you is giving out so much signal that your badass detector goes off
from several blocks away should just give up trying to hide it. He should
have the common decency to just let it all hang out and glow in the dark like
a man.
