>>>>>[Basically, my employee got in a fight with one of his
neighbors. This old codger beat the holy bejeezus outta him and he
got a chip loose. This chip started firing off impulses into parts
of his brain and he started getting really paranoid.

He told me that some guy named Vilya told him he's being hunted by a
Mantis shaman and her brood. Whatta fraggin' joke. If I ever get
ahold of that sick fragger I'm going to rip him a new sphincter.
I've got expense vouchers down here along the order of 15K =Y= to
this Vilya kook for assorted magical servies! Takin' over Jac's head
is more like it!

Anyway, so Jac starts loosing it fast and arms himself to the teeth.
He took an advance on the rest of the years salary, as well as
draining his budget this year, to do it. On the fourteenth, his
landlord came up to ask him a few questions about something. (All of
this is from the datafaxes that have been floating around for the
last few days.) So his landlord hits one of Jac's traps and gets
blown up. His wife calls in the cops and they stormed the place.
After a few hours of exchanging rounds they finally rushed him and
took him down. The way I read the datafaxes, he's in Fort Lewis
Intensive Care right now. I don't really understand Seattle law too
well, but I imagine he needs to be present at his trial in the City-
State Courthouse. As far as I know he hasn't even been arraigned,
yet, which might get him off. Of course, the grenades they used to
bring him in, screwed him up even worse and he isn't quite all there
right now.

As for special conditions, well, he's pretty well brain-fried right
now, but nothing really special. Oh, yeah, he's been dead, officialy,
for about seven years or so, and they really aren't sure who he is.

I don't know how long we have. I imagine we could do it anytime, if
the courts are as slow in Seattle as I hear we've got a few weeks
anyway. The only corp connections are that he works for Frypp
Security (namely, me) and Lone Star was involved in his arrest
(natch).

If you're wondering why I want him out, I want my fraggin' loans paid
off. The dumbass wasted a whole drek load of my assests. He's gonna
be working at minimum wage to pay off his debt with the rest of his
salary for about the next fourteen years.

I think that's everything.]<<<<<

>>>>>[ So...this is the 'St. Jean Doe' or something I've been hearing
about.
Send any information you have to Tech about the state of his current condition
for confirmation. If he seems stable enough, and the situation merits it,
an extraction from a known location in the hospital may have more guarantee
of success than striking a moving and potentially shrouded extradition. It
may or may not have any bearing if you or your employers have any qualms about
whether or not we kill soldiers or surgeons in the extraction. ]<<<<<
