What's the pay? It better be good if I have to put up with this
trator of god (JUDAS).

Nobody knows that Judas is involved. Unless Judas has contacted you
privately (I hope not).

And being a person that has made mistakes before I hope Mark does not
smite you for not posting correctly to Shadow Talk.

(If you beg for mercy he may not hit you too hard)

Too late. I've even got a perl script that I just pass
an email address to on the command line to take care of the
smitings for me now. :-)

Folks, we sould get together and decide what happens when a bunch of
tense runners get together for dinner. My adress is
winter@******.med.harvard.edu. Mako (randy) is out for the weekend,
and I think it would be a pleasant suprise for him if we could get
some work done before he gets back.

I am very sorry that I have not been able to continue the Orion
storyline today. Work is hell.

Mondays aren't generally this bad. I will try to get something in
before I leave though.

Thx,

Randy Nickel

OK. Biz has slowed down a bit so I will see what I can get done this
afternoon.

Morgue, Imp, Kor, Edge, Gohei I am going to assume have met each other
for dinner and talked. Any arguments, you all love each other now or do
you wish to roleplay this? Role-playing is fine. I love it. So don't
feel like we have to rush this. If you all want we can spend a bit of
time at the restaurant asking questions.

I need to know what a Mr. J checking your street rep would find? He has
a lot of street and corp contacts, as well as magical. Also I need to
know what category you fall into. Not stats, and yes I know you can
have crossovers (Sam/decker, decker/rigger, mage/rigger, etc) but what
are you known for most? These are the categories I would like choices
from:

Decker, Samurai, Rigger, Hermetic Mage, Shaman, Druid, Physical Adept.
Too me there aren't too many other distinctions but if you feel that
you are none of the above go ahead and let me know what your rep would
say you are.

If you have no rep let me know. If you have a rep for killing your
Johnson's or Fixer's let me know. In short let me know anything that
makes your character stand out. Try to keep it to one paragraph please.

That's about it.

I'm sorry Paul I must have missed the post from her. If you could send
something to Shadow Talk asking if the wetwork deal is still on then
Mako can reply to you.

If you want to make things really interesting you could mention Mako's
name and don't make the post private. :-)

Well, re-write the message maybe. Send a message to selected individuals
who may/may-not be able to help. ( I heard from a Mr.J that yer rep was
good and you might be available to help. I don't know persactically waht
wetwork is, because I missed a few messages here and there, so if these
sugestions make no sense, just continue on like I never wrote anything at
all.

sort of thing. I would also like to run a few ideas of my own...

"Farmer" is a terminal at the Special Liaison Group. The SLG is one of
the many "small" agencies of the UCAS government, a black-ops unit with
an extremely wide remit.

The SLG is rather like the old Agency in some ways, or like the CIA in
the 1960s/early 1970s: formed with the specific role of co-operating
with foreign agencies, they shed that role years ago and now pursue
their own agenda, using covert arms, chip and drug sales and "protection
money" from crime syndicates for funding (thus escaping oversight). They
are also funded quite heavily by a "charitable foundation" - in fact,
Aztlan.

In short they're powerful, nasty and dangerous, though low-profile. They
want Lynch and Lady out of the way because SIGA exists to - among other
things - stamp on groups like them, and they want to eliminate the
threat before it notices them.

Interestingly, the SLG has official power, but daren't use it: SIGA has
no power except a willingness by its few field agents to operate outside
the law.

If you want to run with any of this, would you mind keeping me informed?
I don't mind people using my creations as long as they play nice :)



Also, as if you couldn't guess, Redemption will not be able to kill
Lynch and Lilith, though he may get close. I'm wide open to ideas on how
the story will go - what's the guy's style, preferred method, et cetera.

Could you send me a quick description of him? There's a scene I'm
writing - someone may get in touch with an offer of information - and it
writes better (at least for us two) if I know what he would wear to a
meet (in someone's room at the Sheraton, safe neutral turf), any
mannerisms, does he smoke, is he a he or a she, what does he drink, the
usual.
