>>>>>[ Glad to have ya aboard. Now here's the way it's gonna be. I'm not
a fraggin' strategy expert, so bear with me...

I think we aught ta plan the run for the 14th. (Can you say "Valentine's
Day Massacre", anyone?) That gives us a few days to get prepped, allows
my friend the Silicon Sabateur ta get into their system and scam us some
compound maps, and also gives us a chance to actually meet with one
another in the real world. Let's set the meeting for the 13th, 1:00 pm,
at The Smoke Shop (Secluded wiz tavern on the outskirts of Seattle. I'm
lousy with directions, so ask any mage contacts you may have where it
is... they'll know.). Then we can finalize plans, chit chat, trade
beauty secrets, etc. etc. ad nauseum.

As for a rudimentary version of the plan, here's what I got:

After making our way to the oh-so-posh corporate section of town,
Morgue cracks us into the Aztech complex. Morgue: How ya wanna
do that is up to you... you're the security expert. I'll supply
ya with maps and security layouts like I said. Then, we split up
so as to do the most damage. Jacamus and Morgue will go straight
to the Security Office, shutting down all the alarms and cameras along
a pre-determined route to Gallagher's digs. If ya need to slag some
Corp security gimps, be my guest. Also, it might be good for you two to
play with the comm system a little. Inform Gallagher's "bodyguards"
that they're needed for an emergency in some part of the complex
furthest from his abode, using authorization codes from any of Aztech
Security's recently retired members.

In the meantime, Vilya and I will travel along said route. When we
finally get to Gallagher, master mage or not, we shouldn't have too
much of a problem. A recently acquired object in my posession should
help even the odds a little. Your job Vilya, is to guard my physical
body in the event that Gallagher tries to engage me in astral combat.

Once we find out who hired him to kill Felinius, and after I slag
the bastard, we vacate the premises. For those of you with personal
vendettas against Aztech, I highly recommend bringing as many
explosives as you can carry. It'll help cover our tracks, cause
beaucoup de damage, and let the neighborhood kids have one hell of
a weenie roast.

Any comments/flames/additions, gentlemen/ladies/neuters?

>>>>>[ Another new thing, the masking of information by
making it appear different than it usually is.

Now, the plan seems good to me, but plans are not my forte.

I shall endeavour to appear at the designated meeting
place to discuss the furtherance of your designs.

Oh- Forge here says that he might be able to supply you
with a specifically crafted focus if you need one. At this
time he has a water elemental focus and an knife focus
available. If you want something special you will have to
order and pay materials in advance he says. ]<<<<<

that I previously mentioned in my last post? It's a sword focus that I
picked up from my last Shadowrun...

>>>>>[ I wondered why we were raiding that talismonger's shop, you slimy
piece of drek! You told us it was just to earn a little cash on the
side!!! "But Warlock..." I told you, "Talismongers aren't generally known
to have loads of cash lying around." I only went along with it because
you theatened to turn me into a frog, ya know!!!

At any rate, I got those maps and security details you wanted for the
Aztech run. Heh... You guys don't want to live to see a ripe old age, do ya?
