what happened to Scourge? He was a friend. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ You have proven, beyond a doubt that you are willing to sell out on
those. Why should anyone answer you as to Scourge? Besides the man can
take care of himself . . . after all, rumor has it he arranged a fake
sniper attempt on himself. Of course the rumormill didn't hear about that
fact that someone really tried the day after.

I look forward to bringing you back to reality one last time Ratspeak.

***** Private: Scarface
>>>>>[ Hey, if you are looking for work, I could use a bodyguard. Hell, if
you even ask politely I will let you do anything you want to the person I
need protection from. It's Nightmare name your price. ]<<<<<

***** Private: Ratspeak
>>>>>[ I'll consider it. ]<<<<<
-- Scarface <23:18:21/07-31-56>

***** Private: Scarface
>>>>>[ Don't wait to long on considering it. I think this time, he will
actually move quickly. ]<<<<<
-- Ratspeak <23:19:29/07-31-56>

***** Private: Sprinkler
>>>>>[ Looking for some work? I need a trace performed on a certain
person. I'm willing to pay enough to override your current jobs. After
you find this person, I want you to trace him for a while.

The person is Scarface. You see, I think I may have actually found a way
to reverse the scarring I caused a while back. I decided to work on it a
little bit after our last encounter. I would consider it a large favor and
well worth a decker's time to look after him, until I am capable of
traveling abroad again. ]<<<<<

***** Private: Nightmare
>>>>>[ A cure for that?!? Yes I will help you. Unfortunately, it will
cost you >>encrypted<< for me to ignore my other work. It will only cost
you >>encrypted<< if you are willing to let me work on my other projects
though. ]<<<<<
-- Sprinkler <23:23:32/07-31-56>

***** Private: Sprinkler
>>>>[ If you keep it quiet, with what you are up to, I agree to your second
price. I will make a new offer if the situation changes. Work quickly,
for I believe time has been of the essence for a lot longer than I realized
at first. ]<<<<<
