You
DON'T want a run, don't say you do. I'm really not in the mood for...false
hopes.

Ayway, I'm still interested in the run just to ransom the tapes. From what I've
heard, they're the last copy of Barney in existance...it just might be worth a
good ransom if we captured them. Anyone interested? We can destroy some, too,
if you want...]<<<<<

>>>>>[Necromancer. I saw your fragging post on the Barney run, apparently
a
"joke", according to you.

All I know is that Barney is NO joke. And it's not like the thing won't be
profitable, if we do it right. I don't care if you go along with us, but I'M
going, with whatever help I can get. I need the money I can get from ransoming
them. And I don't care about those things unless they start making TRID ver-
sions (now THAT would be scary). I'd rather keep 'em off the air, but...well,
SOMEBODY is going to buy the fragging tapes. Especially since there really
aren't all that many left in the world.

I got a real job, Necromancer. I'm out for money, and maybe to get more up-
grades for this terminal. I can make some money from this run, and it's not
like we're going to frag this one up. Easy money. Glad you won't be along.

That's how I work, friend.}<<<<<

any
BTL's. I have no chipjack or datajack, it's hard to BTL without 'em.

Next, if it's Barney, it's evil. It's a quick run anyway, and it ought to make
some much-needed MONEY.

I got a real job, and I know what's profitable. How about you?]<<<<<
