"Joseph. I want an immediate explanation of what happened. Omit
nothing."

"*sigh* We sent two Linked runners to the reception area with
instructions to gather cash before the shipment actually showed up.
Time progressed. They decided to amass more and more. More than was
necessary really, but we didn't want to give them any more info than
they needed.

A couple of weeks ago a runner in the area decided to hold
a party and invited our team. The team contacted Interpol and asked
what the bounty was on the host. They tagged him with some biogel and
beacons and then sent the transponder freqs to the head of Interpol.
Interpol fragged up, and the commander decided to post their names on
Shadowland.

We just got a databurst a few minutes ago from one of the pair
asking for the location of the pickup site to be changed."

"I told you to pick the best. Why didn't you?"

"They didn't have enough information. They thought it was just an
ordinary sleeper drop--"

"So they decided to make themselves as noticable as possible, as
better cover?"

"Ah, I don't know ma'am."

PAUSE

"Have you no more to say?"

"No ma'am."

"Good. Ready the other team and have them sent to the Seattle area.
This time tell them to maintain a _low_ profile."

"Consider it done."

"And about the transport?"

"It's ready. SK Germany is expecting you tomorrow night."

"And the others?"

"Within the next few days. We haven't got any dates set yet. But about
SK, I don't think you should go. A phonecall would be good enough, we
don't know how they'll react..."

"Don't worry Randall, I have it under control. Goodnight."

"Good luck with Krupp."

"Thanks, but I was hoping those files you gave me would be enough."

"Much more than enough..."

informed us that the corporation you work for has information regarding
the recent theft of a shipment of tritium. Rest assured, we are not from

matter. Anything you are willing to share with us would be most
appreciated.]<<<<<
