The Loftwyer holds a party every year around June for some of the
top runners in the buisness, during this time there is a general
amnesty and ceasefire. It here that the various fixers get in contact
with runners and vice versa. Generally it a hugh meeting of about the
top 20-30 members of shadows and the various Johnsons. During this
period Loftwyer usually approahs various groups with runs that only
the best can hope to complete. This time Loftwyer hired the entire
group of runners present (with a few exceptions) to help find out
about the bugs. Knight was also present (allied with Loftwyer),
anyway Loftwyer and co drone on about what they know (very little)
etc. It is at this time that our characters bring out the tape of our
UB run (and a hell of a lot more data, personally researched). It was
great fun watching our GM go through all the facial expressions. He
had forgotten that we had half the stuff.

While I think the gm gave you all a fun time, and that is what it's all about,
and I really hate to burst your bubble, Lofwyr and the other Great dragons and
the immortal elves as former earthdawn denizens know all there is to know about
the bugs, they knew all about them BEFORE the first one of them resurfaced in
the world. But as I said, while your gm did take some liberties if you enjoyed
yourselves then all is ok.
btw: it really is LOFWYR, and not loftwyer. [that is, if you DO mean the great
dragon]
btw: for those gm's that play lightly with great dragons, please remember that
these are characters having in excess of 10 000 karma, [no, I'm not kidding,
this assumes the dragon gets around 1.5 karma per year {and that's a LAZY
dragon], they know kinds of magic that others don't even know exist, and may
have access to earthdawn magic [or may be waiting for the magic to increase till
those spells become available],IQ's far above human maximum..there is even one
of them that runs a megacorp without computers, by mental calculations alone, do
YOU realize what this means? outcomputing a 2057 mainframe by mental
calculations? -or at least being as effective......etc, etc,...etc.
