>>>>[ What do you mean Seattle doesn't sound safe anymore? Seattle _isn't_
safe anymore. Two weeks ago I moved all my operations from Seattle to Chicago
for similar reasons. I couple of my runners disappeared, and ended up dead,
autopsied, and embalmed, and floating in the Sound. Then buisness dies of
really quick like for a few weeks. Finally I get one job -- a simple trouble
shoot at Renraku. So I give the job to my only runners who haven't left. They
hosed up a little, and pissed off a corp called Skunk Works. I personally never
heard of them before. They made life hell for me for a while, so I decided
tocut out of Seattle for awhile and let things die down. Then heads will
roll.... ]<<<<

They used to be a division of Lockheed AeroDyn, now they are their own
separate corp. Back when the UCAS was still the USA, they did all those
nasty little BlackBook projects the government didn't want us to know about
until they were nearly obsolete. Like the Stealth stuff that was so popular
60 years ago. Now, they still do aircraft in a big way, nut they also have
thier hands into orbital weapons, paranormal genetics, as well as something
they call "Project Pardigm Shift" for Aztech. That thing is under a scary amount
of IC in the darkest shade of black. If you decker types want to have some fun,
get to (NA/UCAS-MW)167555-3434. It's a small mainframe here in Chicago that
processes data to and from the BLKBX 1 satellite. I won't tell you what
BLKBX 1 is, but I can tell you that it's responsible for those 'earthquakes'
in the Ute Nation last week. ]<<<<
