>>>>>[ Although I don't know who they were, I wish tooffer my condolence to
the families and friends of the people who died today in a black Westwind at
about 09:30 hours. I think their death was unneccessary and their employers
are to blame who gave orders rather to shoot at us then let us escape.

I acted in self defence, but do feel really sorry for the death of these - as
I have no reason to doubt - valuable and brave people. I mean it, I feel
sorry.

To those who sent them out to follow us. Such attempts will not be taken
lightly, and opposition should be expected, although I don't normally try to
kill of employees. Please be in the vehicle yourself, next time. Thank you.

>>>>>[ Ah, finally Orion set up this Alias-Thingy for me. Good...

To all, as I suppose Orion has already informed you, we have been followed by
a car when we were closing in towards Chicago. After we nearly managed to
shake them, they opened fire, using some kind of assault rifle. I was forced
to use a spell to stop the car, unfortunately it was a bit... strong.

Orion said the Westwind nearly dissolved into its parts, a behaviour that's
not clever at a speed of more then 200 kilometers per hour. I don't want to
cite what Orion said, he's a bit tactless sometimes, but I take it the
passengers were immediately dead. He said there was nothing left to examine,
plus the "show" (his word, not mine) did attract too much attention, so he
made our gettaway.

Can someone point me to who is tracking us this effectivly? The Wichsers need
to be stopped ASAP!

I will not join the team right now, not until time has shown we really did
loose all followers. Instead, I will do a quick trip to where the battle with
the bugs took place. Maybe I have a chance to find traces of these strange
elementals. This means I will need Okami, so you'll have to take full astral
cover, Inferno. Is there any help nearby you can draw to your aid?

Avanger, good luck for you, too. Sorry, I don't dare to come near the
safehouse now, can't assist you. But don't be so pessimistic: You GOT to get
out there: You are owing me a pack of cigarettes! So cover yourArsch, damit!
Got that?

Bull, Orion sez someone might be not only tracing the messages we leave here,
but may even be deciphering them. Is this possible? When will you be in a
position safe enough to examine? Orion will be needed to cover my meatbod, so
he can't do it himself. ]<<<<<

Ok people, it's me again... Things have ben a bit busy around here
lately... Ok, I've gotten a lock on our tracer... Managed to follow him
home before I got detected and had to burn him down. Seems that Black Pawn,
I believe he's a friend of yours Orion? <grin>, works for Ares or the UCAS
governement, not sure which. They seem to be working jointly on this, so
the decker could have belonged to either of them. Also, seems taht there is
more than one Black Pawn. All their slave-deckers use that handle, I believe...

Also, I have not been able to track down *anything* on this Pegasus fellow.
I even managed to contact an old decking buddy from down Atlanta way, and
he's never geard of the guy. And Spinning Diamond's been running teh
shadows and the electron highways since I was born. Either this Pegasus is
extremly new, or he's VERY good.

Canis, Orion... Good job handling that tailer. The deaths are regretable,
but we seem to have gotten involved in something that at least two parties
want left alone, and the play for keeps.

Keep yourself hidden, Canis... We look forward to seeing you, but if
tehy're following you that closely, go to ground for now... If you need
supplies, call a Dwarf named goober at >>encrypted<< and tell him I sent ya
and that he should bill me for the supplies. he can get ya just about any
hardware you may need. Just tell him that "Bull owes him a Mox" for the
supplies and he'll know what you're talking about.

As for the astral, Johnny's back on his feet and eager for some payback, so
we should have enough magical support between him, Inferno, Daytripper, and
Xuxa... You keep your own rear covered on this one.

IYeah, we've been made several times, but i am currently re-routing the
signals now that I have my equipment running again. the trace shouldn't
happen again.

Ok people, we look forward to seeinbg you all when we can. Hopefully we'll
all be able to meetup soon.
