TC, you've got me all confused... That's MY precise point too. I think
where we differ is this: You say that if they get noticed, they're going
to be hunted down and wiped out. And I say that, unless they stepped over
the line, the corp will ignore them pretty much (unless they can get the
stuff back before the team hands it over).

That about sum it up? I want to wrap up this arguement before the
weekend. :)
