My. Y'know, I'd been wondering how to desribe exactly what black ice'd
do to the unfortunate Matrix-runner. This, I must admit, is a very good
job of it.

...Discounting the fact that there was nothing (from, admittedly, an
excerpt) to point to the damage having been caused by IC. The girl
could've been just mugged, or, for that matter, fallen down and hit her
head on the toilet.

I'll have to scratch around for a "better" quote. I remember a piece
from a while back that got pretty heavy into the metaphor - not just a
description of bruises.

Re-attaching the quote at the bottom, just so everyone sees what I'm
talking about.

Sorry, I just didn't want to flood the list with the entire collection of
descripts that are flying around ATM on the PBEM. Johanna (the character in
question) is hurt from Black IC and nothing more. Wig's is playing it very
well, and I will always count him as one of the best players to ever grace my
games.
