>>>>>[ HI, guys... I'm here as someone else's representative this time,
but
before I get down to business I'd just like to give congrats to Dark Elf, Doom,
Harlequin, Highlander, White Knight, Nightstalker, Raven, Jaez, DOA (we will
miss you...but you'll be remembered) and so many others I can't remember
(sorry, guys...I'm just too hyped-up) Anyway, the reason I'm here: Doom asked
me to deliver a letter to you guys on the Grid:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greetings and Salutations, meine Kamaraden!

Congratulations to us all! It was an honor and a privilege to
serve with you in this crisis...but onto the points of this posting:

There has been some discussion of a party. I believe that Harlequin and
Brightlight have both offered to host one, and Dark Elf has expressed interest
in having one before returning to New York. I am in very strong support of
this, and have every intention of attending. May I suggest that we attempt to
coordinate our efforts? Were it up to me, I would arrange a banquet at a
stylish but secure site, such as the Space Needle... Also, I would say that
we should wait a few days to permit those involved in the thick of the fighting
to rest a while, and seek medical attention in some cases... I'm presently
writing this from my bed, as I have been 'confined to quarters' for a while.

As to the expense of the celebration: Many have volunteered to fund our little
get-together, but I have a far more enticing alternative:
Fuchi, United Kingdom seems intent upon capitalizing on this situation,
which I find unacceptable. I suggest that a group of technomancers (If need
be, I shall volunteer myself) raid Fuchi's system, steal their copies of the
self-altering codes, and requisition funds sufficient to bankroll our
festivities, where ever they may end up being--after all, if Fuchi thought it
could get away with that, we are obligated not only to recover the code, but
also to teach him a lesson. Furthermore, considering the talent pool we have
to draw from on this operation, I do not think it shall take any appreciable
amount of time.

To all technomancers, especially Dark Elf:

It was an honor to serve with you. I am presently attempting to
ascertain whether or not I can get those involved decorated for their valor,
but I am uncertain as of yet.

Also, Dark Elf, I dispatched a courier to "The Edge" to fetch my piece
of the MONICA circuit board...you have my appreciation...I have it here with
me now, and I am seriously considering framing it.

To Brandywine & other associates of DOA:
You have my most sincere condolences, she is a great loss to us all.

Once again, my most heartfelt appreciation and congratulations to all those
involved in this matter. I remain

Very sincerely yours,

Doctor Doom

Well, that's it... any thoughts on this? Personally, I think the idea of
making FUK pay for the party is a GREAT idea...*heh heh heh* ]<<<<<
