Didn't Ronin and Twitch work together at some point? I can't remember
any details though...

Not as far as I remember. Twitch is pretty much a loner and has had a bit of
a quest tracking down a certain elusive person known as Wanderer. I'll have
to check the logs but I don't "think" they did. Of course, I could be wrong,
I have been before. :)

I see what you're getting at though, if they had they'd recognise each
other. The logs are pretty extensive and if you don't mind waiting I can
have a dig through and see what turns up.

Was that meant to be public Paul? If so, then this just moved the goalposts
somewhat. I'm assuming that it wasn't supposed to be a public confirmation.
:)

Either that or you just paid any hacker who can get into that code. <g>

That looks a bit odd for a public message. All over the matrix, deckers
are saying ch-ching!

Yep - should have been private and BCCed to Ronin and Twitch.
Retroactive continuity time :(

So Ronin, Flash, and Twitch are all watching this guy... what happens
when and if they spot each other?

Funny I was thinking exactly the same thing. I reckon to start with we tell
Coello that there are other parties interested in the mark, then, well then
I suppose it depends on the temperament of the watcher, the parameters laid
out in the contract and the ability of the individuals to grow eyes on
stalks and the back of their heads to watch each other as well as the
principle and the general scenery. :)

Jamie got there first with the question, you should get the answer from
Coello..

I'm out of comms from Sunday to Friday, so argue among yourselves as you
see fit until then (Aguilar only has two lectures in that time).

This is setup for a long-planned piece I thought I'd lost but found
again, that should air January or February or so - so no real rush yet.
But Coello is _very_ interested in what Montez and his companions get up
to.

Yes, obviously because the other two watchers are so blindly incompetent
that they managed to reveal themselves within seconds of arriving on the
job...

Well, if it becomes revealed or obvious that he's been made, Twitch will
refund the money and pull out, he won't be wanting someone he doesn't know
or trust watching him or knowing he's around and what he's doing.

:P I was thinking that Ronin has probably spotted one of the other two
watchers, plus someone unrelated to either... presumably the UCAS
government of '62 watches "freedom fighters" as closely as the USA does
today.

I think it's improbable for Twitch to Identify Flash, since he is an adept
with the "Face Anonymus" power.
