Lightning posted this earlier tonight. Isn't he part of your team? If he
is off doing jobs on his own he can't be that available to your team. If he
continues with this, he WILL be off the retainer. No reflection on the rest
of your team, I assure you.

But find out what the hell the deal is with him and get back to me soon,
OK?]<<<<<

call" to whom
he referred, so it does affect the rest of the team. Also, you never said
we were working for you exclusively, so I find it hard to figure out where
you're coming from. If you have a job for us, we'll do it. If we work other
jobs in between yours, that's hardly your concern.]<<<<<

>>>>>[You misunderstand me. Of course you are free to take on other work.
You are right, we do not have an exclusive on your time.

But I was under the impression that you were the boss of your team. The
retainer was for the team. If individual members of that team are going to
branch out into other teams, we would no longer have a reasonable
expectation for a fast decision being made. If "your" team has to get a
hold of another team member, who is off doing something esle, before a
decision can be made as to whether a job is taken or not, then the advantage
of having a team on retainer is gone.

By all means take other jobs. What the retainer was meant for was to
gaurantee a certain level of responsiveness. that is all. If you can still
gaurantee acceptance or rejection of a job within 48 hours of initial
briefing, then all is fine.]<<<<<

I'd say "I'll show you mine if you show me yours" but I'm not in a mood
to waste time.

+++++include BTL_spec_sheets.dat

Interested? Let me know what you're selling and we can negotiate.

I might need some muscle, later, too. And a dependable fence.

This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.]<<<<<

Unfortunately, milspec armour is a bit out of my league. I'll see if I can

>>>>>[Fair enough.

What do I want, specifically? Handguns. Half a dozen heavy pistols, good
quality, good condition. Need to be smartlinked, preferably internals.
I'd prefer it if they were all the same type, but they've got to be at
least the same calibre.

Also, a couple of submachineguns. I'd prefer HK227s, but if you can't
get them I can be flexible.

Ammo, a thousand rounds for the pistols, twice that for the SMGs. Three-
quarters ball, the rest explosive.]<<<<<

day or two, that amount of ammo might take a while to collect, but I'll be
able to get it. As for price, that all adds up to about >>reasonable

Where/when do you want to pick it up?]<<<<<
