my
own ground and with my choice of weapon (bare hands). Had it been a
nasty encounter in a street alley, I would have surely gone down
straight away riddled with a million bullet holes. As it was the fight
was long and tough, I fought like a warrior but so did Tailhook. In
the end experience won over, I leave the details of the fight for my
friend the Punisher to describe. But let it be known that I do not
take slurs on the noble art of the Physical Adept, anyone giving such
a slur had better be at least as good as Tailhook or have their life
insurance well paid up ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Jeese he may be a mate but to be honest Power you're ego just got
the
better of ya. When ya wake up and realise that it's the cyber edge that
makes it in tha shadows and not some poxy magical powers or whaddevr ya
call em. Anyway to the buisness in hand. The fight took place in
Red Maxes', a disused warehouse in the Redmond barrens where the biz
is gambling, that is big nuyen. Occasionally Max will organise a fight
bare knuckles, the works, no restraint being shown unless the opponent
is obviously out of it. The purse tonight is 20 000 nuyen, not much for
a seasoned runner like Tailhook, but enough to make it worth his trip
here. The fight was well balanced to begin with, with Power getting in
some lucky shots but Tailhook's cyber skin soaked it up. About 5 mins
into the fight no one was showing any sign of winning when Power made a
fatal mistake and let down his guard. Tailhook nipped into the gap and
pounded that dwarven arm of his into Power's groin. After that it was
all down hill for Power, he fought well with the pain it is true but a
lightning quick strike to the side of the head by Tailhook sent Power
spinning. Not allowing him chance to get up, Tailhook bore down upon him
with a quick foot in the head. All Power saw was stars.
Well we slapped a stim patch on the lad and took up the offer of
Tailhook's wetbar in his limo. Myself, I'm trying to persuade Power to
do it again, this wet-bar is kinda smart. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[Well, you told the story incredibly well, Punisher... and I can't add
all
that much too it. I'd just like to say that I don't want to hear anyone
flaming the good Powerhouse, because if you do you'll have to face me... on my
terms.... And Punisher... whenever you want a drink, call me!]<<<<<
