due to the fact that I had a job go sour with a Mister
Freeze out here. The first one is just a small catch up of
news that I failed to get to you all this week. The second
post is about something touching that I say Blitzkrieg and
Nightingale do together, that I actually have some video
footage of. I think Nightingale would kill me if she knew I
was linking her shadow id with her real life picture, but
alas, I think people should see it.
This week has been an interesting one. I will give you a
day by day of it.
Saturday was the elusive meet that Shadowfox had with
Blitzkrieg, at the place where Julie dumped Jason for the
final time. I assume it went okay by the fact that
Shadowfox is now hanging with Blitzkrieg and others.
Sunday, I gave Kor a wake up call with some information that
he asked me a while back to get. Nothing major, and nothing
that he couldn't get himself, but it was a job. A few hours
later, Shadowfox had a run-in with the Wanderer. It turned
out into quite a mess, which makes me sorry I don't have a
video of it. What happened is that the Wanderer with help
of others succeeded in tracking down Shadowfox. The
Wanderer launched an ambush that would have succeeded except
that Scarface interrupted it. Scarface pulled Shadowfox out
of the fire and Wanderer was prevented by chasing, by a guy
named Dragon. Dragon got the Wanderer's attention by
shooting an arrow at him. It just barely missed. It was
quite an ornate arrow though. Wanderer grabbed it. Dragon
approached to teach what promised to be a good lesson, but
got interrupted by backup that Wanderer had around. By the
time Dragon dealt with them the Wanderer was gone. I
believe Dragon interrogated them. The only thing he
probably got out of them was something I found out by
contacting some fixers through the matrix. The Wanderer
hired the backup and he knows how to hire quality.
Monday, Knight Errant announced an innovative break-through
in Ice.
Tuesday, a run on KE in Detroit failed miserably.
Wednesday, Blitzkrieg, Harker and possibly others paid a
visit to Nightingale. More on that in a little bit.
I did find out from Black Knight something interesting on
Wednesday: Scarface issued a challenge to Nightmare through
Shadowfox. A challenge to the death. Nightmare has the
privilege of choosing the site. Shadowfox caught up with
Scarface later on Sunday and accepted the challenge for
Nightmare. The challenge will happen in Scotland (a most
curious choice if you don't know Nightmare's family
history). I believe that only Blitzkrieg, Doomsday, Harker,
and Shadowfox will be invited to the challenge. The date
will be after they successfully deal with whoever is chasing
the children.
Sprinkler told me that Cloak and Dagger, who were getting
close to DragonEyes, have gone missing. Apparently they
were missing since before Monday. Sprinkler fears the
worst for them.
Yesterday was an interesting day in Philadelphia. Colleen,
a lady-friend of Kor's, was attacked by a human runner that
I have yet to identify. The runner was stopped by none
other than the Wanderer, who got severely pummeled. My best
guess is that the runner has stronger bones than the
Wanderer, but is slower than the Wanderer. Wanderer managed
to get Colleen away from the runner. Asked her a few
pointed questions after taking her to a church. Colleen was
extremely cooperative after he killed a dirty priest who was
having a nun give him a blowjob at the time. Colleen was
physically unharmed but very scared after the attack. She
told me to frag off after I asked her about it. Apparently
the questions were about Kor.
In addition, Aztechnology made the news again as this time
they successfully launched a hostile take-over of a small
medical supplier in Pullyup, Seattle. The company,
MedSurplus, was a known provider of materials for hospitals
all over Seattle and for local Doc Wagon branches as well.
Doc Wagon had no comment in the take-over.
And today, as of 8 AM, the beginning of a working shift,
hostile runners attacked Ares in Detroit and successfully
did a hot extraction. Knight Errant is furiously looking
for the runners in question but has no leads in the case.

victim of the hot extraction. I guess I can proudly say,
that I am quite happy with my new employer, and I look
forward to developing new and improved ICe with them.

>>encrypted<< for your troubles.
Nightingale you also get >>encrypted<< for willingly putting
up with those that you would otherwise avoid on pains of
death working with. Thank you my dear, for overlooking
their short comings and coming to my aid. Thank you
Sprinkler for providing the wonderful virus and equipment
for me to pay back my employers for their indiscretion at
letting me go. Although I wasn't immediately planning a
vacation, I will be happier with a little more freedom that
I will be allowed to have at Renraku Computer Systems. It
shall be interesting working at Seattle for the first time
in my life. ]<<<<<

or paying for you making him put up with Ares bulldrek.
Seriously man, I thought the man was wound tighter than a
some springs I have created for some hacks. I think you
seriously pissed off the man. From what `mare said before,
that man never shows his emotions. The fact that he was
cold to you and emotionlessly said, "Before I came back to
North America, I thought I knew who my friends are. Maybe I
still do. You can either leave willingly or stay. If you
choose to leave, you will have to do some work with
Sprinkler over watching to make sure you play fair." I
think speaks volumes for how pissed he was at you for what
happened. I don't know whether you justly deserved his
anger, but . . . ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ I know. His being there gave the message loud and
clear. He hasn't forgiven or forgotten the meeting. If I
wasn't under such pressures at the time, I would have never
done that to the poor man. Especially since he was and is
still reeling from Rebecca's death. But I wasn't given a
choice, so he didn't get a choice. That's the breaks.
