you are versed in demolitions. The following address >>encrypted<< needs
some major redecorations. Magical protection on-site is considerable,
therefore, remote methods are acceptable if you judge their use warranted.

The subject must _not_ be in residence when you complete your assigment.
It would be far too fast for him.

I would also reccomend civilian casualties be minimized.

>>>>>[Understood, and no serious difficulty, I expect to have some
results within three to four days.

As for harassment--I've been working on worm to crack an encryption
algorithm at the source, rendering any encryption open to a person
with the key I plant. I am willing to field test this code on this
case, at no additional charge to you. However, should this code be
discovered and sucesffully broken, all the pointers will be aimed at
your gut, not mine. Also, note that this does not include the source
code, only it's results. If the code is successful, all encrypted
messages will be automatically forwarded to you, readable through a
key similar to the PGP system that rose and fell in the 1990's.
Please contact me directly if you wish this option employed.

Obviously, the worm should be undetectable, and it's forwarding blind.
However, the gentleman in question has powerful friends, and I cannot
be sure what resources they can bring to bear on this matter.]<<<<<

is an Ethereal zoo. If it wasn't for the fact that he needs me in here I
wouldn't have gotten this far and I'm good at drek like this.

I'm telling you this though If while I'm in here anyone of your goons decides
he want's to pop on by and say hello, There is a whole slew of surprises

when, if possible, he may be departing. You want a missle thru the
window. Why, is there stuff inside that needs to be destroyed? If
anybody you know has any ideas as to what is inside, I need to know.
That way I can use the most effective 'device' to frag up anything
and everything importent. And yes, magical security here is tighter than
the hoops of most corps. Quite a spectacular sight, in Astral Space of
course.

I need to know if anyone else is 'attending' to Tuetone's confinement. I
think I remember you posting about some guy, name of Joshua's Arm,
perhaps? Maybe some combined efforts may be in order if such is the
case.]<<<<<

I have also a report from my agents monitoring the building. It contains

I am awaiting a detailed report on magical security. But it should not be
necessary. I suggested a missile because approaching the site to plant
explosives may be extremely hazardous for you. However, you are free to
use any methods you consider necessary to fulfill your mission.

I want Teutone's home destroyed. His notes, his summoning materials, his
souvenirs and his family album (If he has one). I want the bastard to
suffer before I frag him.

The decker named Joshua's Arm is currently working on destroying all of
Teutone's matrix assets. Since the security on-site is almost exclusively
astral, you should not need his help. Of course, you may contact him
if you believe you need him]<<<<<

Tuetone's
place is history. My friend Fever and myself devised a little plan to
obliterate his place with as little outside destruction as possible. We
shot a small rocket powered shell into the house. Well, it was full of
napalm, and the place went up in a hurry. Course we called the fire
department about the time we did it. By the time the guys in
red showed up, his place was destroyed and the fire was just starting to
affect the surrounding areas. Damn near perfect timing. I managed to
watch the ensuing battle with the fire by means of a camera on an
adjacent building, for we bailed just after the rocket was launched to a
safe area two blocks away. Complete destruction is what I saw, and
that's what the news people say also. There were really no added
expenses, so I expect payment in full when it is convenient.]<<<<<
