>>>>>[ From what Jester has gathered, Sprinkler didn't make backups,
so that lead has struck out. Neither he nor Scourge left any
indication on where they last left off either, so we don't know where
next to proceed on what Scourge was working on either.

Until Doc Wagon let's anyone visit Scourge, we are pretty much at a
dead end. I have in the meantime let my deckers lose on chasing down
information on the one hostile dead body that we have from New Years.
It is a long shot, so I don't expect anything there.

The last significant thing was that Scourge sprung his first trap,
and someone responded with a team that was immediately dealt with.
We caught one live soul (the rest lost to the extra "protection" had
for the brief period of time). Interrogating him lead to the fact
that they were hired by some person with an assumed named via the
matrix. Surprise, surprise, it was done through the Dee Cee scene.
Chasing the name lead nowhere.

We don't know what Scourge's next step was, but he had another idea.
Unfortunately, we are at a loss, and I haven't sent my team to see
who was watching the logs. Mostly I haven't done that because
Scourge set up a nasty little pet to watch his log, and I'm not sure
I want to try to defang it. Knowing Scourge, it might be proper to
ask Black Knight to open it up.

However, from what little I know of Black Knight, having him run
around the Feds nodes is probably not your safest bet. I suspect he
doesn't have a UCAS security clearance because of his past life in
Germany. While I doubt he would let his past interfere with his
professionalism, I just honestly don't know him.

While we wait for instructions, we are going to continue tooling up.

care to snoop around Boston? ]<<<<<

Geiger, where was Shadowfox last? ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Denver. As far as I know, Jester was the last one to see him,
before Jester came back here...

Which means he has only been out of contact for a day and a half.
How long before we get seriously nervous? ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Got me. I don't know him _that_ well. I guess if we don't
hear from him by the end of the week, we should figure out what we
are going to do.

I'm going to prepare for the turf war. Geiger, unless the Lynches
have anything better for you to do, I would recommend continue your
resupplying actions.

If we haven't heard from him by the end of the week, *shrug* contact
Midnight. He'll probably have a few ideas. ]<<<<<
