>>>>>[Katarina is fine. She was released last night. And the only traces
that succeeded on her were the ones that caught her in transit to the safehouse
and while she was there. It took my three Initiate mages to keep the first
one from getting her location and therefore Central's, and two of them are in
the hospital, and the third is still unconscious. And any knowledge they may
have is of the safehouse, which has been cut loose as per standard procedure
after a potential security leak at it's location. It was my call, not AJ's,
that she be released, but after conferring with him he agreed that the unusual
nature of those links to her made her far too much of a security risk to hold
until you were dead, Wyrm. I honestly don't know where she is now, as I have
not had her tracked everywhere she goes and everything she does. She is not
the target. Oh, as the Boss is too busy to tell you himself, I am supposed to
relay a message:

"Chess is a very structured game, Wyrm. You play VERY well, better than I, and
I acknowledge this. Solarial also plays better than I, but not by so much.
However, this is a game of life and death, the Ultimate Game, and this chess
game has no rules to break. I have not switched sides so much as added a third
player. And this player is precisely one square away from winning, Wyrm.
100% Portland certainty as of last night, 50% certainty of suburbs outside the
Wall. Hope you sleep well and enjoy your last sunrises."

Whatever. I don't play myself and have always been content with my position as
hardware designer and security expert...]<<<<<
