However, to business:

Midnyght is, as far as I know, just a decker (not a simple decker as I was
about to say, as your last few posts have obviously shown!). He might have
magik capabilities, but nothing in the precis I compiled led to such a
conclusion.

When Sir Midnyght attacked you, could you tell if he was jacked in or maybe
if he was acting like a program? AS much as I dispise AI's, we have to keep
the possibility open...

I *do* have some combat capabilities, but my stealth is not as up to par as I
would like. Mayhaps, my lady, we can work together on the "Piggly Wiggly"
compound? I am in town, and relatively hard to trace (being a foreigner), so
how about I meet you at a prearranged location to discuss the warehouse, maybe
take a walk around the location? It'll do me good to get out of the flat..

LTG me on this.]<<<<<

Paranoia? Not I.... *smile*

If ever you need another combat decker, or mayhaps just another crackshot with
a Ceska Black Scorpion, send thy messenger to me at my LTG (mailed seperately)
and I'll help ye against our common oppressers. My sword is always at your
service..]<<<<<
