Haze is kept within a safe area, it's well hidden and shouldn't be
compromised, except by Haze himself.

He has no matrix coverage from the hideout. Anything Haze does in the
matrix is his own problem, but from the ground, it will be incredibly
difficult for anyone to find him, provided he does what Frank said he
would, which is lay low.


Federal matrix activity will die down quickly enough, but there will
always be a silent presence waiting for an active trace, the second they
have it, half a dozen will co-ordinate their efforts to triangulate his
position and take him down - they are more than aware of the risks Haze
faces outside of federal hands. Achilles on the other hand, don't have
the time or manpower to devote to this, so will simply set frames into
the matrix, carrying whatever signature they have managed to gather,
waiting for a frame to kick in and announce Haze's presence, then
they'll move. However, their involvement is likley to be more violent,
and more final. As far as they're concerned, he's a dead or alive,
preferably dead body bag.

In the end, there will be no support from Cat-o-nine, he has fullfilled
his obligations in this, and ended his involvement, it is now up to the
friends and associates of Haze to pull his arse out of the trouble. I
know a little more than some about Haze's background after Frank was
kind enough to send me the character sheet, and details on some things
he has planned, so there's a good chance that he'll evade pursuit, and
exit Seattle for a while. Even the Barrens can be too warm occasionally
:)


That's my take on it.
