>>>>>[Looks like someone got some of Luciano Cesare's boys out in Tacoma
this eve. I
have included some footage from a smuggled trid recording. Seems some amateurs were
out sightseeing and got caught, but not before one of them uploaded his feed to a
buddy of mine. Take a look, I think someone's not gonna be too happy about this...

+++++Begin capture.trid

The feed is grainy and the image dark, but it is clear enough to make out the
surroundings. It seems the cameraman is crouching in a garbage dumpster, peering
through a hole in the side. Across the street is a car, doors open and the engine
running. The headlights illuminate three men kneeling about five meters in front of
the car. All are dressed in suits, one is wearing a fedora. Their features are
slightly blurred, and their identities cannot be determined.

Standing behind the men are two more men. Both are about 1.7m tall and thin. Both
appear asian, but their features are also very slightly blurred. One of the men
carries a large silenced pistol, the other carries what appears to be a katana. The
man with the pistol speaks as the sound is turned up.

"Who do you work for?" the man with the katana asks in a think accent, probably
Japanese. "You will tell me."

The men kneeling on the pavement only grunt in response. One of them tells the two
Asians to go to Hell. In return for his obstinance, the man with the katana cleanly
severs the loudmouths head from his body. The other two shudder and begin cursing
frantically.

"Hey, look, you didn't need to hurt Joey. He never did nothing to no one!" one
of
the men says hurriedly. The other glares at him contemptuously.

"Shuddup, blockhead! Da Boss won't be happy if-" he is cut off as he suffers the
same fate as Joey. The man with the katana moves to the remaining kneeling man.

"Tell me what I want to know and we may let you live." He shrugs, and a smile
can be
made out. "Of course, living may not be so good either..."

>From offcamera to the left slightly, a sound like a scrape of metal on metal can be
heard. Someone mutters, "Whatthefrag?!?" The camera tilts crazily as it gets
pointed
towards the ground. Onscreen, the display starts counting down as an upload is
commenced.

Several gunshots can be heard and someone screams. The cameraman begins pleading for
his life, but apparently not well enough as another gunshot is heard. The camera
picks up a few more seconds of footage of the bottom of the garbage dumpster before
being picked up. Just before a boot crunches down on the lens, the message "Upload
Complete" appears on the screen.

+++++End capture.trid

Won't be long before this gets out. If teh Yakuza and Mob go at it again...well, at
least we'll be sitting pretty. Our boys are ready to go, you just give us a target
and we'll take it out.]<<<<<

I believe that these are Malone's men, people you should have already dealt with.
Are you ready to fulfill your obligation to me?

I trust that your answer is yes. I would like for a certain - safehouse - to cease
to exist. You are in charge of the operation. The coordinates are included below. Do
not fail me, Wraith Slayer...]<<<<<
