>>>>>[Well, oh well, I seem to have peeved off some people. Still sore
about
The Baby Dragon Incident are we ? Too Bad.
Herr Ganz, I will defer on your offer. I rather like my independence, and
suspect, as my shadowrunner collegues do, that to work with you is to sell your
life away. Regardless, I personally believe that you are persueing a rather
reckless course -- to use both stick and carrot on the same group at the same
time sends mixed signals which tend to alienate 'runners.
Now, to wit, and laugh, Solitaire/AJ/ and co. I have returned the money already
and apoligized profusely to not having "more" info --- even though I know
EXACTLY where you relocated too. But you mistake my actions as being personal -
and they are not. Because of you I climbed a step in my plans. You were imperso
nal tools, not foes. I am currently the the interface between Corp Court and
Tir -- thanks to you. Whether I knew something or not, was there at the Roxey
Extraction or not -- the fact of the matter is I benefitted. Mr. Ourobouros,
can tell you that I'm a man on a mission, with no personal hostilities, but
rather steps to climb. You were a step. You may again be a step. Until then
may you prosper.
Oh. By the way, The (Dead) Wyrm Ourobouros is quite right in all his assertions
. I am already a "Royal" Rank noble. The Ascension Games computer is totally
matrix isolated. I now have a permanent seat (although no vote) on The Council.
I have a Patent Of Influence in the Tir military. You can hurt me, but it will
be a lot harder than you think. Why put yourself on the Royal Tirian Targeted
for Neutralization list? Don't try to hunt me. I'm big game --- and I hunt
back.
As for Shiv and Dmitri, Pojalsta, ne nada ob aa mne govoreet - ya vas naidoo
toje. I.e. Don't talk about me, because I can find you too.
Dmitri, I do know about you. We will meet in The Games. You haven't heard of
me because until recently because I've been making my climb stealthily. For
a minor Prince, I've done rather well. Dmitri, I will be waiting for you ---
are you going to be ready for me?]<<<<<
