AS *LOATHE* as I am to remind anyone of this, the "Demon" in the bottle is
NOT going to let itself be transported in such a manner. The "Bottle" is a
powerful item, along the lines IMO at least, of an AD$D Artifact/Relic.
Though I realize the module was never updated to "SR3/MitS" mechanics, with
the idea of the "Bottle" being what it is, I just don't see "simple
solutions" like taking a flight in a Transorbital being a solution.

-K (who is trying desperately to not compare the Bottle to an ED magical
item)
