>>>>>[At least warn me next time. All that bullshit talk about having to
let people die or they wouldnt be able to catch the creeps doing it kinda
got to me. They....We....no, I -- lost most of the people who hit the
water. I saved those that I could, and returned as many of the bodies to
shore as I found.

The I-Marines REALLY don't like you, man. As I was pulling one of the kickers
(live ones) out of the drink a Marine levels his shot gun on me and has
the balls to ask me who I was and just what I thought I was doing. The
"what I was doing" part seemed pretty obvious to me as to the who I was, hell,
dont they teach them to read before giving them a gun? I explained myself
as best I felt necessary, and went on about my business. I thought it would
end there but NOOOO, mister SargentMan comes over and starts telling me that
I am WAY out of my district and I could take my ... Ummm, hell, I have the
video here --

Kor: "I'm Officer Desiato, Frypp Security, and as to what I am doing, isn't
it obvious? Im doing YOUR job! Look, we are wasting time, I told
all of this to the last bozo-gunslinger that came by...Here, help
me with her, she is in shock."

DS: "My job is to protect this bridge and these people, You pose a
clear threat to the safety of this bridge...I'm going to have to
detain you *GURK*"

Kor: "Ok, thats about enough of that. Listen and listen carefully

Hmm, something seems to have happened to the video here...

DS: "Im sorry to have bothered you, Sir. Please continue with your
operation and give my best reguards to Mister Frypp and tell him
that we really would like to thank him and his people for all
of the great work they have done in the past for us. Free Beer
at Shindaryu's for the whole team, on us..."

Kor: "Excellent, thank you"

Urrr, sorry about the video...you didnt want to see that part anyway. I
wouldnt suggest trying to collect on the free beer. He is going to remember
sooner or later what I did and be even MORE missed off at Us / You / Me
than he was before.

I turned to see if the Demo-Removal team needed any 'help' and saw a couple
of the charges go off (No survivors...sorry). I am somewhat disappointed
that the bridge didnt come down. Would have served them right.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Sorry, 'bout that. I guess we shoulda stayed an' actually
helped, but I was too pissed.

Actually, the I-Marines REALLY, REALLY, DOUBLE-PLUS UN-LIKE me. You
should see the file they've got on me. Some really flattering stuff
if you ask me. Their conclusion is bunk, but I get the idea they
might almost be scared of me. Hell, they're scared of anybody taller
than they are, which means damn near most of the non-Japs in town.

Hell, I'm in the kind of mood where I just might go get those
beers....

Anyway, you mind if we drain off one of those kegs you brought with
you? I promise I'll save the other one and just sip.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Trying to collect on those beer would get us all into a fight
and a law suit (I can think of at least 20 laws I broke by screwing
with that guy's mind -- Illegal use of magic, posession and knowlege
of illegally gained magical knowlege...No, please, dont.) or seven
that I / we might be be able to dig ourselves out of. Hell, I would
rather have them go after us on a faked video footage charge than any of
the magical tampering charges.

The kegs are yours, my friend. Mind if I stop by and share with you?

I talked with the Whistler last night. He has invited me to see Italy for a
couple of days. I might take him up on it. He was more than a little
surprised to see me show up in a Frypp Sec. Uniform in oposition of
his current employer. Such a whore...but I guess we all are to some
degree. He's a good kid. A little hot sometimes (arent we all?)

I have some spells that might help you with that sun burn problem of yours.
That stuff you put on your face REALLY reaks.]<<<<<
