Ok, I'm back again guys and gals. Frag, this is a pain in the ass. Did
you know there were Water Bugs? neither did I. Ran into a hive of some
sort of underwater bug down off the coast of Haiti a couple days ago, and
we barely got out with our skins, and my boat, in one piece.

Oh yeah, that's where we are now. Down south, working off a tricked out
Yacht in the Gulf of Atzlan and The Caribbean.

Anyways, I'll get to that later. Where was I when I left off the other
day? Oh yeah, the Gang vs. Bug fight.

Well, we won that little rumble, though Shark and Spill's gang took some
heavy losses. BUt they get themselves some serious respect from the other
gangs in the city now. You don't take on a bug hive and win without having
people step back and reevaluate their opinions of you.

Well, after that little fiasco, and two of Clevelands larger hives down and
out, things quieted down a bot and me and Johnny even found time to make a
couple Runs and some Cash to replace all the money we blew getting our
hoops out of Chi-Town with you guys. Then, we lost all trace of
Stands-With-A-Fist and Becky. They simply vanished.

Me and Johnny started putting oput some feelers again, making inquiries
with some of our other allies, and finally, after getting info as part of
the payment of one fairly hairy run, we found that there had been a brief
sighting of some Mantids down in New Orleans. We knew it was a long shot,
but we headed down there for a look.

That didn't pan out, unfortunately. We found a small group of mantids, 4
of them, but Becky and Stands weren't among them. We tangled with them,
and came out even, and decided that they weren;t worth our time, though we
did blow their cover. They were posing as a Mage group in the New Orleans
sprawl, and after we exposed them, they had to run, as every runner in the
sprawl was trying to capture one alive to claim cash from Dunky's will.

And that's about where we've been since. We needed a place to live, but
wanted to stay mobile, and Johnny suddenly decided that he wanted to be a
"Pirate" (damned Coyote Shamans), so we got ourself a decked out yacht and
have been operating off that for the last two months. I've run into some
personal problems, but I won;t go into that. It's a bit embarassing, and
we're currently searching for a way to fix that problem.

PLus, as I mentioned, we met some sort of Waterbug Insect Spirits. I have
no idea what the hell type of bug they were, but it scared the drek out of
Johnny. We originally met up with them when we got attacked by a boat. We
thought they were simply pirates, but imagine our surprise when we got
boarded by fragging flesh forms! Very creepy.

We managed to nuke the boat and get away with our asses intact. Johnny
managed to locate the hive, what looks to be some sort of old underwater
base. It probably used to be a smugglers base, but now had a very strong
Bug presence, from what Johnny could assence.

We didn't hang around, and the hive is still there. I have other problems
to deal with, and I'm on a serious time crunch with it, so we can't deal
with it. If you know anyone who wants to go bug hunting underwater, let me
know, and I'll slot them the cooordinates.

Anyways, that's it fro me. Take it easy.
