>>>>>[ I wonder how many times a year, we will have to listen to people
screaming for a cause? Sign up here, pay all of your free will and
freedom, and I/we/he/she/it will lead you to a better world!

For the love of peace and quiet, Illuminatus, SHUT UP! If you want to
advertise your pathetic claim to Utopia, here's a list of nodes better
suited to your drivel.

+++++ include: node.list

{Actually, scanning some of those nodes, I suspect either you or
someone much like you has already started very similar propaganda on
some of those nodes.}

At any rate, I don't buy your claims to grandeur, and I don't
particularly want to listen to you insult me. I get enough of that
from just having to listen to some of the arguments that go on here
without your propaganda.

I wonder what this node would be like, if people stopped hyping their
favorite organization on here for even one month. After all, don't we
have something better to consider? Speaking for myself, I already have
way too much to do without wasting my time shifting through meaningless
propaganda. ]<<<<<

D: Death
F: Famine
J: Jester
P: Pestilence
W: War

W: Oh, look. Haze and Neuron Basher are whining. A druggie wetworker
and a corporate whore. I'm so impressed.

F: Don't respond to them. It would only encourage them to spew some
more stupid remarks.

W: Don't worry about me. Neuron Basher won't come at me without a
force of his whore friends along for the ride. Haze won't come after
me while there is money to be made elsewhere. As much as he would love
the thought of killing me, to find us, he will have to work pretty hard
and that will cost plenty of money. Especially since as much as
Croaker hates us, he won't sell us out to another wetworker.

J: As much as froggy preaches pacifism, he has no problem selling other
people out.

D: War, I do not want a war with Neuron Basher and his friends at the
moment. While we are prepared to deal with some threats, I would
rather not chance Nightmare getting involved in the mess. But that is
neither here nor there. Pestilence, you had some news.

P: Yes, I did, sir. I found out two items of interest. First, I
think I have found one of the combatants involved in the ambush.
Croaker's tapes would prove it, but he isn't giving those up.

J: Duh. Old ground about the tapes. What are we going to do about
it?

P: Well, I have a couple dozen pictures of him, so we can have you
start digging for information on him.

J: Sweet!

D: Do you have enough information to pass onto War about this lead?

P: Yes.

D: Good. War, you are to keep tabs on our potential target. If it
becomes too tempting, pull a snatch-n-grab. We need him alive to
interrogate. Meanwhile, Pestilence continue to look at your other
leads. Second item?

P: Whirlwind has just arrived in town. Our watchers say that Croaker
tried to shoo him away but failed. Whirlwind didn't take no for an
answer. It appears that Whirlwind is knowlegable on the facts that
Croaker kicked Jester out of the group and rejected us in practically
the same sitting.

F: And Croaker was afraid of us playing outside his preferred methods?

W: God, as usual, provides us with some very unique opportunities. I
imagine this could be very useful.

D: Yes, it could.

P: Hence why I pointed it out.

F: Useful because of the Legion implications or useful for another
reason?

W: Both, actually. The most useful thing that will come out of it for
us is the tapes. The Legion implications aren't our worry, although
when the times comes, Jester might want to give a push on Croaker.

J: Trying to use me to recruit for your old buddies?

W: Relax, Fool. While that is one possibility, God has left plenty of
choices for Croaker to make that don't even concern the Legion. It's
all a matter of choices.

P: It would be a great opportunity if one was inclined to give a
certain person a brief glimpse into the true burdens of leadership. I
have found that opportunities like that one normally shouldn't be
missed. Something to think about in all your spare time, Jester.

Well... come to think of it. Let's see what you got.

It's worth >>>>mid-7 figures amount<<<< to know that name. That's
a
truckload of money. I don't think you have it. But you have friends, I

Tough luck.

But if you do, you'll only get a name, nothing else. I don't know, nor do I
care, what you get out of that name. You pay that, you get the name.
That's it.

By the way, If you accept, I never gave you that. We never talked.

If you ever get the crazy idea of coming after me, and prying the name outta
my brain, you'll lose a lot. I'll kill everything in sight, then put a
bullet through my head. The only way you'll ever get it, is by paying me.
Clean money. No bullshit.

You sell me out, I'll make sure me, or my friends, make the last 10 minutes

(whether they deserve it or not) to comment and criticize others. If
you are trying to censor his opinions because of his and your past,
then I stand in disbelief that you do not get as much flack as Mitchell
got for his views.

In general, I find it is very high and noble that UCAS and CAS citizens
swear up and down that free speech means something. I find it ironic

I tried it. It works pretty well. Thanks.


As for Haze... well, you can see his side here. If word leaks that he
sold an employer, he's done in the assassination biz except for low-rent
splatterjobs, and I guess he's trying to climb up and away from that
crap. Glad you tried, but I didn't expect it to work. I get him alive,
he'll sing, but the interrogation's the easy part: getting a live Haze
is harder. Besides, all we'd probably get from him is a one-shot Matrix
pseudonym, either cold and dead or trapped to Hell and back.


You guys take care, okay? I got some nasty rumbling about Seattle right
now. Might end up hiring some outside help, and you're high on my list
if I do. You came recommended and I can see why now.]<<<<<
