me. Yer not all off on some altruistic romp to some third world
hell like Uzbekistan hunting down Maxim's nukes on the word of that
bloodsucker... are you? I'm not offering a lot of money, but at
least it pays. One afternoon's work, that's all I need. My street-

heard of, so I guess you got the contract.

Now, here's my prob:

I've been tapped to grab a warm body for some friends of mine. I
slipped into his corp's computer to see what it told me. I grabbed
his pers file and set up to surveile his dig before hiring some
muscle to lift his butt outta bed. Well, wouldn't ya know it, i'm
coming up dry. Sure, there's ways to spoof my equipment, but I'm
nervous. I just need somebody to slip into System Design's system
and grab all the dirt they can find on one Doctor Felix Acadian,
cybersurgeon and headware design specialist, just to back up or
refute my data, a second opinion, see? Have at it.]<<<<<

Ghost Face: You're human. That gives you a free pass to go anywhere and do
anything you want. Orks and trolls aren't allowed into some buildings.
Why? Because they might "damage" something. One of my chummers is a 200 lb
troll. He isn't allowed on buses 'cause he's "too heavy". Just for kicks
he and an elven friend (who weigh's over 300 lbs -- and looks it) both
tried to get onto the same bus. One after another. The troll didn't make
it. Surprise surprise. That wasn't in UCAS (India actually), but the same
thing happens here. Just on a smaller scale.

Dwarves are comparitively lucky. We can just be called "short". (That
doesn't mean we don't get attacked just for our meta-race) Trolls and orcs
have it the worst. You and your pals seem to enjoy spreading this hatred.
Frag you make me sick.]<<<<<

already said that. So I been surveilling him, said that, too, for a
coupla weeks now. I can set my chrono my when he takes a dump he's
so regular on his sched, right? I've been following him now for a
while to look for sec. Now, thje corp he works for has got the
assests to do it right, so I won't say there's no security on him, or
even little security, I just can't see it.

You have a history. Everyone has a history except for the metahumans
(except the fragging elves of course). You have a homeland. You have a
native culture to fall back on. You have organizations rallying for your
support. You have fragging scholarships.

What do we have? Drek. And what do we get on top of that? Bulldrek from
supremecists like you who want to grind us further into the dirt. Well, I
can tell you that that isn't going to happen. We're not going to let that
happen. And any fragger who tries to slow us down is going to get his soul
torn out.]<<<<<
