>>>>>[Things is pretty depressing when ya disappear fer the better
part of a month and nobody cares.

Ah well. I've found a better place in life. A few weeks ago, I
wandered in an Universal Brotherhood Discovery Meeting. Afterwards
the counselors could tell I was troubled by something really intense.
They seemed to know what my trouble was. Some kind of delusion they
told me. No such thing as Mantis spirits or even Mantis shamans. A
piece of fried circuitry they told me.

Well, I haven't heard from my six-legged friends since everybody
busted me outta jail, so maybe the UB's right. I've decided to work
as counselor for them. That means I'll have to hang up the ole spurs
I guess.

For Sale: Used Cyber. High quality, prototype equipment. Prices do
not include removal from my person. Prices negotiable.

>>>>>[ Jean St. Jacques, in a private letter from Doc Grizzle, he mentioned
the Universal Brotherhood. All he said was that it was a dark place where
no person who cared about his fellow (meta)humans would want to live.
This was surprising to me considering two facts. 1) He didn't talk about it
at all while he was alive. 2) That whole statement isn't consistent with
what the Brotherhood claims as goals.

Since I don't know the Brotherhood, but I trust the letter, I would strongly
reccommend that you do not retire your self to them.

On the other side of the note, and this has nothing to do with Jean, Highlander
yesterday went on a little test run to see if the chip still worked --
aparently the government was quick. They changed most of the encryptions so it
was really pretty moot point. But be that as it is. I sent it through private
carrier to a person who works with the UCAS government. I just glad it is out
of my hands. ]<<<<<

plenty of times before, I'll say it again. Thank you very much. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Jean St. Jacques: DragonEyes is correct, though he doesn't know
about the inner workings of the Universal Brotherhood. By all you
consider sacred, do not work for them. Do not become one of them. Your
problems with Mantis were real -- do not let them say otherwise.

If you become one of the Brotherhood, I will mourn to have to destroy you.
I beg you, do not go to them. ]<<<<<

UB. Your problems with the Mantis spirits have just begun. I fought hard!!!
I don't want to put down on my personal list of people I tried to save but
failed. That list is too long already.]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Jean St. Jacques: Please don't join the Universal Brotherhood. On
the
outside they are useful social organization, but that is a cover for something
much more sinsiter. I have a pamplet about the real UB that your need to read.
Where can I send it to you? ]<<<<<
