shit?
Soft target .. easy run .. frag! Hit the system, smooth as can be. Grab all
of the _obvious_ data, then whaddya know. I'm on a VM. Bust out of the VM
to get to the _real_ data, and get jumped by some treacherous fraggin'
cascading
ice. We're talking really dark-gray here. I got your fraggin' data though,
and a deal's a deal, so here it is:

+++++include file: acadian.files

Now listen closely: If you _ever_ try to frag me over on a run like that with
bogus info again, I'll make you think what Brimstone did to you last year was
a fraggin' picnic. You got me, chummer? ]<<<<<

What I told you was all I knew. Do you really think I'd let
somebody stumble into a kill zone without warning them? What, what,
geeze.

Hey, waitatic.... This is the same data that was in the the VM!
What in the bloody blue blazes are _you_ trying to pull here?!]<<<<<

>>>>>[ I _know_ it's the same fraggin' data, you slot! I don't know why
the
frag they'd put the same data in the VM as out, but that's what was there.
If you wanna go take on the cascading ice that I fought to get that data,
you are more than welcome to corroborate my story.

Look, here's how it went down: I slide up to the icon, strictly UMS spec
all through the system. The SAN was a breeze .. activated my cloak, and
sailed through with no-one the wiser. The host was pretty low-grade, or
at least that's the way it seemed initally. Dropped off my data-frame to
snag the data for me, and poked around on the system a bit while I was
waiting. Almost didn't catch the VM, but then again, I was expecting a
cake-walk, so I got overconfident. That almost cost me big.

So I scoop up Bloodhound (that's my data-frame) and get ready to bust outta
the VM. Stealth mode, all the way. I bust outta the fragger, and no sooner
does the system appear than this big-hairy fraggin' cascading ICE is trying
to tear my heart out. Switched outta Stealth mode DAMNED fast, lemme tell
ya, but it got a couple of hits on me first. Took a bit of work, but suffice
it to say that the ICE went down hard. I grabbed the data, and jacked out.
That ICE was not at all what I was expecting on your cake-walk. Look, here's
the log from the run, just cough up my damned cred. Don't fuck with my
Rumormonger. I know more about you than you think, you fragger.

By the way, ah, where d'ja get that... stuff? You know that could
cost me a lot of money. Not only could it cost me, it could cost
other people. Other people who like dealing in data of that nature.
People with, ah, grudges. People with grudges and patience, if ya
catch my drift.]<<<<<

Design last night. "Penetration" doesn't even begin to describe
it. We're talking "wham, bam, thank ya ma'am" here. Higher-
higher is screaming at _me_ for answers. What am I suppossed to
tell them?! "Threat Analysis down in Counter-Special's been
saying it'll happen. That metalhead you've got running it says
it's all going according to his plan, they've been ready for it. Damn
bitbrain says it's under control. Don't wory, if Yama pulls
anything we'll be ready <wink>."

Someone got into the system. Someone good. Someone good enough to
get past our IC. The same IC _you_ signed off on. All I have to say
is that _I_ won't be the one who gets his supply of drugs yanked by
the company. You understand?]<<<<<

Oh, and as to where I got the data .. well, nevermind about that. The point
was that you're not as safe as you might think. I'd have thought that Brimmy
would have taught you that much. By the way, how are those eyes working out?
