"tacnuke? incident". Since some of you seemed to enjoy the last bit I
figured I would go ahead and post this bit as well. It's not as long as the
other, so don't worry. :)
This information could have been found on any green rated shadowboard, so is
fairly suitable for players.
>>>>>>[ Yeah? Well I was tooling around in a spotter drone when all of
a
sudden the guages go bonkers and then everything goes dead, right? At first I
thought mebbe that new freelight-vx4 rig was the problem ... but when I collect
the black box and examine the logs I sees the drone was hit by an Em Shock the
likes I only heard of inna threedies ... that wasn't no nuke, either, my guages
caught a flash and heatwave with the sigs all wrong for a nuke, or even a
tacnuke. Cripes, it's starwars all over again... ]<<<<<<

>>>>>>[ That warn't no nuke, neither. It was a high wattage microwave
laser
fired from orbit, and I have the logs ta prove it. Fer yer information,
SatCom, the satellite watchdog company, was completely shut down for
thrity-four minutes on October 22nd, around the time of the incident. And yes,
kiddies, SatCom is owned by Aztech -- (who's system was disconnected from the
matrix for THREE HOURS). Now, the incident happened at about 3:00 am. SatCom
came offline at 2:45am and back on again at 3:19am. Aztech dropped off of the
Matrix at exactly 3:25am. ]<<<<<<

>>>>>>[ Hey, didn't Renraku go offline also? ]<<<<<<
-- Fred (10:29:11/10-24-53)
>>>>>>[ What the hell. Renraku went offline four times in the past two
months.
Last August the were off for 5 minutes on the 5th at 6:23pm; and again on the
8th at 5:43pm for 3 minutes. In september they were off for a whopping 15
minutes on the 11th at 11:02pm. On October 22nd around 4am or so they went
offline for nearly an hour. The alert originated from a subsidiary in Seattle.

>>>>>>[ Let's just call it a rumor, but I heard old Fastjack received
three or
four calls from major Corps, including Renraku and Aztech, with offers for
"employment" which were later rejected. ]<<<<<<
-- Casimir (12:01:52/10-24-53)
>>>>>>[ Why don't you mind your own damn business, chummer. Watcher, I
would
very much like to speak to you. Leave a message on Cybercrime6 for me, if you
will. ]<<<<<<

a little less dangerous, like runnin' the Sioux border with nothin' but a
Streetline special and yer britches with a big sign painted that says "Indians
Suck"... get the pitcher? Now, I ain't bein' condescendin', I jus' hate ta
