>>>>>[Thank you for the timely response boys. I will have suitable
refreshments on hand. And perfume for the more odiferously challenged
among us (Cobra).

Scene: A plush high rise apartment decorated in Neo Poseur style, cky
knick-knacks abound. The trid is an exception. Rendered in stunning details
is a scintillating burnt metallic image of a mythological beast known as
a cockatrice, the featherd crest flashes in a mesmerizing diplay of
iridesecent colors. Occasional motes of lite appear from the backdrop behind
the icon (obviously the matrix) and merge with Basilisk's icon. Seated in
the room are Plague Rat (a consensus image of hard-boy ganger w/attitude)
fingered his rig sockets, Cobra (a rather shabbily attired scrawny man
with a remarkably deatailed snake scale tatoo on his bare scalp) who
fidgets and looks at Smooth's pet chihuahua with obvious culinary interest.
Standing are Jimi Smooth and the Jeweler. The two are diametric opposites,
one all flash, the other substance. Smooth is wearing a very mod ultra hotpink
vid suit displaying the latest in eroticaprogramming on channel 87, the
jeweler is wearing the finest in Italian fashion, courtesy of Armani.They
have just finished a discussion.....
Smooth: All right boys, here it is. Our target Judy LuLu will be at the
party being hosted by Pierce Conner, well known trid star. Conner lives in
the Tower apartment building so securtiy is extremely tight. It will be even
worse because so many important folks will be there with body guards. EroComp
the company that owns LuLu will have heavy security on her, as she is the
spokesperson for their premier line of Hardlove products. Basilisk, would
you please give us a layout of the location, with all sec cameras and
personel please?
The trid Dims, then a vrtual image of an extravagant penthouse appears.
Basilisk provides a guided tour in heavily accented English.

Smooth: Thanks Bas. Jeweler, what be with the toys?

Jeweler: Troy Doshenko has arranged for our weapons to be in the janitorial
control booth adjacent to teh apartment. Seems he is a little nervous
regarding our care of his lovely daughter. He will also cooperate in any
way he can during the run, he is really very helpful, a charming man.

Smooth: Cobra, Astral? Magic? Hello?

Cobra: Nice doggie, c'mere eh? Oh yes, security. Tight. Wards are just enough
to stop any astral snooping for the casual astral projector, heh, and
a full host of elementals and watchers are sure to irritate. But Basilisk
has given me a local where I can call to the spirit ofthe building to
answer in it's great form with relative safety. I will then provide as
much astral cover as possible. I have a few tricks that will get me past
most ofthe spirits, he, hee, and well you'll see.

Smooth: Thanks, I think. Rat?


Plague Rat: The Beast is locked an loaded, fagboy. I will be redlined on
the urge to purge. Nobody will get near us and live.

Smooth: Very nice. Try not to shoot any peds allright? And as to the fagboy
comments, why don't you show up in my bedroom after the run and try to jam
me. I think that will educate you on the matter. Now for the tactical
breakdown. We will be using Standard ARC-Commando Shanghai tactics for
urban settings once we have obtained the target. Everyone be ready for the
cue which will be delivered via commlink, code word "Funky"...
Smooth goes on for an hour regarding various retreat formations,
escape routes etc. It is a marked difference to his normal arty prattling...
Now, everyone pop one of these, it is a broad spectrum anti-hallucinogen.
I expect several aerosol vectored mind altering chemicals on-site. Cobra
if you would be so kind as to sing your song and crnk our endorphins?
Rat, don't forget to launch your drone before we arrive at teh target,
Jeweler, be beautiful darling. Allright, lets go get those invites from
some unlucky vips.---- End autolog entry
Smooth out.]<<<<<
