<<<<<[The concern is appreciated. Precision is back online. *CONFUSION*
Any connections? And hell, if this is what being a shadowrunner is all
about... I don't think I could take the adrenilin past puberty.
Precision is also locked up, and appears to have been so from the outside.
Why it's jammed from the outside, or who did it, I couldn't discover. In
other news: There appear to be two types of redhats. I was only able to
note a difference in icons. I didn't go up against any of them. There
seems to be a more advanced strain developing. They wear badges, and the
normal redhats MOVE out of their way. Is this actually a different
redhat, or has some hotshot decker figured a way to scare the hats?]>>>>>

>>>>>[The Tir System will be completely isolated at 08:37:00. This
includes actual physical isolation. All cords will be severed. It
will be expensive, but less so than losing a system. We will be
able to provide for ourselves. My sympathies to the Seattle
District. I wish there was more I could do for you. Buster: I owe you
apologies and thanks. You would have made an excellent Paladin. Continue
to take very good care of my sister.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Well, between Buster breaking down the Tir's doors, and Laverty
being barely skeptical, but instremental in the Tir's isolation, they
should be a last haven if all else goes to hell. When the ties are cut, I
have word that the better Tir deckers will be allowed to voluntarily help
here if they want. Most of them want to. That's the tech. (Which I
don't understand most of. I'm just a mouthpiece.) I propose that the
mages among us attack MONICA in the spiritual realm. She is evil, she is
an entity. Perhaps calling in the favours of a few elementals might not
be a bad idea. I don't have the cooperation of many Tir mages (they don't
believe and don't much care) but I can pull a few favours if it turns out
our numbers aren't high enough. I imagine we won't have that problem,
though. It's good to be a free agent agian. And Buster: I heard about
the men you lost on this already. I'm sorry. Their loss was a brave one,
and it won't be wasted.]<<<<<

>>>>>[ DOA, I am pleased to see you still on-line. Brandy, sorry
about the Tir, but I wasn't simply going to take the word of your
brother, no offense meant. Part of me is quite displeased with the
Tir's isolationist policies of not bothering to assist as it is
OUR problem, but I can understand, and it is actually one less thing
that we need concern ourselves with.
For your information: At 06:00 this morning, one of my
elite retreval teams broke into a the physical system of one of
MONICA's major hubs to take the CPU off line. They had they best
training that I could provide and are all cybered vatboys. This
was one of my best. By 06:04 they were already detected, and by
06:09 were outmaneuvered. MONICA has complete control of physical
security systems, and is running armed drones.
Every last one perished, my command leader as he set the fuse.
that CPU is no longer functioning for MONICA to exploit, but at what
price. It was far to high. MONICA, you die. ]<<<<<

hello. Did you go in for that faceoff with MONICA? If so how did it go. Why
don't you bounce over here to MagnaTech Seattle and talk to all of us.

of
Tir to helps us out. About attacking MONICA are you sure she would have an
astral presence? Afterall she is just a string of code. What, Nightstalker?
Oh... Nightstalker says her hardware might allow her to have an ... What a
minute! I'm the one with the degree in Magical Theory. ]<<<<<

>>>>>>[Well. That's done. Have a few scars here and there, but they
won't be
on our tails anymore.
Brightlight and Maze: thanks again for the help. Yer friends did a great job
and put all they had in it. Glitter Boy should be back on-line soon. Bladestar
is resting, the lad needs it. But he's OK. Big, big thanks to Sister Abby and
Fluffy Bunny Feet. We owe you a big one. You need us, you call.
In my copious free time :-), I've been reading messages concerning FUK/Kurgan
with interest. The association with the Toxic Shaman was something I couldn't
let pass. Anyone who wants to get him, count on us. The slimy moron won't rabbit
this time. Ye hear me, defiler? From the drek ye came, drek ye're made of, and
to drek ye'll go.
As for Kurgan/FUK (aptly named, that one), I took a few liberties. One of my
friends has connections, and he used'em. So, smartmouth, if anything ever
happens to Highlander (or DOA if ye get yer greedy paws on her), ye're toast.
Got it? Any bad news - and I've been rather touchy 'bout those recently - and
ye're good for a worldwide termination order. Lotsa luck.]<<<<<<

receive news soon enough.
And, BTW, put this date/time stamp back where it belongs.
