>>>>>[ Video Backflash history feed. < The insides of a sleazey bar
somewhere in
the barrens >

Figure 1: < a well dressed black haired man of about of about thirty > Their
late.

Figure 2: < a blond haired man dressed similar to his compatriot, he appears to
be the same age > Well what did you expect.... No more, they just came in.

< in walks a motley group of men, on some of them can be seem gang colors. >
Leader: < a young and roughly handsome man of about 20 > Well We'ze here, so
whats dis job youz wants us t' do?

Fig 1: We have need to get rid of a few people permently. The people will be
guarded and will have friends with them. The guards and the people are
expendable.

Leader: how many peoplez?

Fig 2: there are a total of 3 people that need to be removed.

<one of the gangers giggles, he is hit by another of the gangers and told to
remove the chip. Figure 1 slides three photos across the table to the Leader.>

Leader: Never seen um before, who are dey?

Fig 1: It does not matter to you, when you are through they will be dead.

Leader: good enough, so whads the prize?

Fig 2: 30k for each of the people pictured. Plus 10k up front.

< a few low whistles come from the gang >

Fig 2: This is were you will find all of them, but only on thanksgiving, any
other time and they will not be there.

Leader: <takes the offered cred stick, data chip and photos> Deal.

<The gangers leave>

Fig 1: *Sigh* They won't succeed.

Fig 2: They might actually take someone out, knowing their rep for being chipped
to mindlessness. They probably won't even notice who the guards around the
place truely are.

Fig 1: Should we send word back that this was the best we could get? No else
even responded after word got out that it was a suicide run. The targets are
some of the plexs best runners with a tendency for surviving. The others there
are about the same. I hope they won't be mad about the failure.

Fig 2: So do I.
