>>>>>[ I will gladly explain the ending if someone could explain the
imaging system used by Freid the Mage on the T-bird. Pray tell
how can she whip spells out through an image produced by a
fibre-optic cable???]<<<<<<

According to the SR magic system, a mage can toss a spell at anything
that can be seen without electronic help. Any purely optical method
is valid for establishing line of sight. This includes mirrors,
"normal" binoculars, glasses, telescopic rifle sights, and even
fibre-optic cable. So long as the image is not transmited by electronic
means at any time between here and there, you can blast it. Now that
would have to be a pretty nifty setup to provide an picture w/o using
electronics, but it is possible.

>>>>>[ For those who have read it an can remember the scene where Chase
finds a certain young woman chipped into "Against the Hive", was
anyone else a bit peeved by her comment that it wasn't real
enough???]<<<<<

Hehehehe
Night's Pawn isn't the only place where you find a comment like this.
I can't remember where, but I'm sure that I saw a similar comment in one
of the modules.
