>>>>>[Sorry, I just sent all of the same information you wanted out
to Maddoc. I'll just abridge it and send it to everybody.

Here's the short of it: Jac's one of my employees that flipped out,
killed some cops in a paranoid fit and is stuck in the Fort Lewis
hospital. I want him back because I advanced him a lot of money to
buy the weapons to kill the cops. Fortunately, none of it has been
traced back to me.

Basically, all I know is what I've got from the datafaxes
from the last few days. I'm in SanFran, right now, and don't have
any viable contacts in Seattle with that have any access to anything
useful. That's why I'm recruiting local runners. I hope someone has
better contacts in that area than I do.

The group certainly is not complete. I'm almost certain we need more
people. As of right now, the people listed in the encrypt sequence
are it.

As for collatoral damage (hell, killing innocent bystanders) I really
don't give a frag, I'm gonna spend the rest of the summer at the
corporate safehouse in the Carib League, with occaissional trips to
SF to make sure Kabuki Man keeps the fort held down.

I just want to know who's in so far, and what they can bring to the
outfit along the lines of skills and ideas. I have a potentially
interesting idea - if drivers need to be swapped, even though I don't
think that would work (but it would save time and trouble), but as I
said, I have a malformed subtlety gland.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Freddy, Unfortunately, I do not want to be involved in any more
"wetwork" than I need to be. If there is alot of bloodshed planned, then
it is against my very nature to be involved. You may need to find
another runner. Sorry.]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Now, before I continue negotiations, I want to know: are you just
collecting local talent, or are you looking to hire a team? I can guarantee
you that a seasoned team operates much more effectively than a bunch of
eclectics. I can provide you a team, and I can guarantee that it will contain
all the skills necessary to do the job. If it's important to have a group
composed of various individuals, fine, I'll see what I can do about turning
them into a unit, but otherwise, I propose that you consider hiring a team
under my command. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[My dear Mr. Frypp, we meet again. As it seems that Mistress Jasmine
is unable to assist you, I offer you my services...I attempt to avoid
indiscriminate killing, and will not kill mindlessly. However, for enough
of a reason and honor, I believe I might be able to assist you.]<<<<<
