>>>>>[It has been brought to my attention - finally, only a year late -
that Lynch has a daughter, operating at this time in Guyana. I am
interested in the logistical possibilities of putting together an
assination attempt on her. If I can't have Lynch, then I'll kill his
damn family. That should get his fucking attention.


Quinn survived the attack, though the other casualties were interesting.
Do not fail again, or I will get angry. We only have a short time
before Bacchus is released on Seattle, when that happens, war breaks
out. This is a matter of urgency, war is not something we have the time
for yet. The equipment and weapons have not arrived that would carry a
war to the borders of Tairngire, we need at least another two weeks for
the shipment to arrive.


Bacchus' team has been assembled, his equipment and supplies have been
distributed. If they thought Thunda made a lot of noise, they have no
idea what is about to occur. In respect to this, there is a chance that
I may have the pleasure of killing Lynch, to safeguard this eventuality,
you have 48 hours to finish placing the devices. Once they are placed,
do _not_ activate them, unless it is obvious I have been killed through
some treasonous behaviour.


The time is nearing to let the Children loose. Mayhaps, that time can
be delayed until Shaitan is truly ready.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Forgive me, I didnt know I needed to cross you off of my list
of 'active players'. If you wish, I will do so but I would hate to lose
the skills of the rest of your team. Is there someone else I can contact or
will it be ok, for the time being, to route requests and job offers through
you?

Your choices, as always, seem expertly thought out. I have a meeting place
finally, this may or may not change your roster. Its going to be on his
home field. A Snomish Military Base. Preliminary matrix checks show that
there are some 25 - 30 personel still active there. Quite a few have been
moved in the last few days or so. Looks like he is bringing it down to
managable levels for the meeting (or acceptable loses...Im not willing to
wager either way at this stage in the game).

We are still formulating our posture for the meeting. The man has got to be
a bit worried right now, he's lost a lot of good people just trying to bring
in a rogue and that cant look good to his superiors. I read him as hungry
and tired. Both of which need to be satisfied as soon as possible. Shortest
possible route. That makes him slight more dangerous than a trapped hellhound.

I will contact your people and negotiate a price. Again, I thank you
for your assistance in this matter. I do so home we can work together
again in the future.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Rather than repeat myself.

+++++ Include: previous message

The four of you have all the information that I have. I need to know what
deficiencies, if any, you have and want to fill with my people. I'd like
to turn this over to my field commander, Akira Foster and, depending on your
wishes, put him under your charge, or you under his. Your call. You will
have the majority of people there and you know your skills better than I or
he will.

We've not discussed a price, tell me what you feel is reasonable for, say,
a week's worth of work. Im going to bill this out as "consultant fees" so, for
a short while, you will be serenity employees. If this is a problem, let
me know. Im willing to make whatever arrangement are necessary]<<<<<

>>>>>[Consider me a fixer these days. Active enough to get into the game
when I really want to or have a vested interest in the outcome, but
inactive enough that I'm out of most of the day-to-day runs. Semi-Active
player would be most accurate.

Looks like the work will be....interesting, to say the least. I'm sure
that the group will be getting together with you with the details.

Part of the reason I'm not doing this one myself is it's not up my alley.
I'm really a sneak around type rather than a frontal assault type. And
you made this one seem like closer to the frontal assault than the sneak
around. For this you need people who are experts, and while I've done it
from time to time, I'm not really an expert. Moose, White Flag, and Roxey
are, without a doubt. And Diana brings so many things to the table that
she's just all-around great at what she does.]<<<<<

>>>>>[At this point, I will be the group's contact for ease on both our
parts. The following should be enough to cover our fee for the time you
requested >>encrypted<<.

I would prefer to have Mr. Foster under my command rather than be under
his, if you don't mind. Nothing personal, but until I know someone's
specialties and weaknesses, I don't know how to compensate well. Please,
have him report to the following: >>address<< tomorrow at about 1400
hours. He will be met by myself. I'd like to spend some time talking
with him before the drek hits the fan.

We will be bringing all our own gear, and will arrive loaded for a war.
Hopefully it will not be necessary.]<<<<<
