months of every year travelling around on business for the Goddess. I’m sure you remember
her.

What made me run was some trouble spilling over on to me from
Twotongue’s little BTL business. His old buddy Lee turned out to be a
cop and when we started supplying yaks, the DED became involved.
Chastity got caught, Twotongue and I only just escaped, and four or five
of Twotongue’s yak buddies got busted too. We got Chastity out (in a
death defying assault on a moving police prisoner transport), and ran
for it. We were only dealing, and we didn’t kill any cops, so the heat
might have died down by now. Which is why I’m back. And to see your
smiling face, of course.]<<<<<

And whay do you ask about Terminal, if you don’t care about my
shenanigans? Terminal got busted, he’s probably in a maximum security
prison somewhere. We haven’t really dared to look any closer than what
it took to find out he was found guilty of dealing and possession of
military grade cyberware. What’s the world coming to when what’s
available to low class ganger punks is classified as military grade?

As it happens I have nothing on (SK gave me the shove and I haven’t
heard anything from the shifters for a while, so screw ‘em all), and I
had hoped to remedy that. Give me a couple of days to test the waters
here, and I’ll be able to meet you in person.

whole fight we had, the camera was damage, and all I got was the part
where I started to rip up everyone and Whisper and Lou was fighting the
mage. I am not going to bother downloading it because it is too graphic
anyway. All I can say is that well after this the people I killed will
have to be identified by there teeth. Lou and Whisper remember it, they
tore up that mage. Well My armed healed fully and I had to replace one
of my cyber fingers thats about it. So lou is your eye ok? AS for
