Subject: Restarting the Plot
Date: Mon, 15 Jan 1996 08:53:28 -0700 (MST)
Ok, folks, I think that I've waited long enough. There's been something
going on behind the scenes that will come out when Tom Craig and I get
the writeup done that happened to Velli around Christmas, and one post
will be about some of the fallout. It probably won't make a hell of a
lot of sense to most of you, but it will in time.

In addition, I am hereby restarting the nuke plot and getting things
going again. The plotline that I think will work the best is this:
Maxim tests thier nukes, the Big 8 threatens Maxim with force unless they
back down, they don't and Maxim gets a site pummeled like Ensenada and
they back down, or rather appear to. One of the Big 8(I like
Saeder-Krupp personally) discovers that Maxim has not complied, but
rather than telling the rest of the Big 8 and risk Velli going psycho(or
rather _more_ psycho), they pawn it off on SI who, rather than risk
themselves overtly, hires a bunch of runners and various runner teams to
hit the scattered sites and destroy the nukes. This pounds Maxim for a
while, and I let them fade away except for occasional Charlie Fingers
updates or annoying posts from employees.

This was the idea as worked out prior to this, but comments are still
welcome. For general knowledge, as I will solidify here shortly in a
Talk post, Maxim will have about 10 or 15 nukes by the time their
facility gets pummeled that will be spread out, and the nuke test will go
off here pretty soon, as in the next day or so.
