If it ends up getting lethal, your boys will be fighting Frypp's delivery
men -- or else a wide variety of people who are rather enthusiastic about
their causes. Of course, if there is _too_ much interference, I'm certain
OS^2 would ... arrainge for individuals to eliminate the problem.

*long, quiet laughter* An interesting supposition; Frypp has been delivering
such 'special sourced' high-tech equipment to spots that are more 'heated'
because of the political situation they represent than the actual physical
conflict. TNO, TT, the rebels in Aztlan, certain sectors of Africa and the
Middle East, specific warlords in Asia.... even decker teams in London and
TNO, Japan and Hong Kong.

You're playing that most American of games -- catch-up.

Probably, particularly since we were 'there first'. (And are you _for_
irresponsible people getting their hands on heavy-duty shit, or against
it??)
