Message no. 1 *****PRIVATE: Shifters
>>>>>[That's it, I'm out of here, holiday time. You lot are coming with
me, or as many as want to anyway. Team building exercise, that's what I'll
call it. A cruise for as many as we can squeeze onto a bodyguard roster,
all on the dragon. On the 18th, we walk on board the Elemental.]<<<<<

*****PRIVATE: Kirk

board it...]<<<<<

*****PRIVATE: Shifters, Kirk
>>>>>[Don't you watch the news, Faerie? It's a luxury cruise liner, spends
most of it's time sailing around the Carribean. It's just put in at Miami
for a thaumaturgical security upgrade, according to what I hear. Like Kirk
said, it leaves on the 18th. You need any more, check out >>matrix
address<< for the PR drek, or >>shadowland SIG<< (they've got a pool on
whether it sinks and when - and there's no shortage of humorous Titanic
references).]<<<<<

guest?]<<<<<

Come to the usual spot ASAP, we have some things to discuss. I'll have a spirit sitting
there waiting for you.]<<<<<

Message no. 3 *****Private: Shifters, Kirk
>>>>>[Been thinking about it a while, then it slipped my mind. Been
auditing a class (surreptitiously) from S.U. final's tomorrow, you can
pretty much figure out the rest.

Oh, yeah, finished the debug on that formula you wanted to look at. Can't
say as I see eye to eye with the guy who wrote it on the way the core was
constructed. Too much brute force, too little finesse, but it should work
so I left that alone. I had do do some de-construction on it to put it in
terms that I could work with and on recompile used the more...standardized
framework. I'll include my notes, but if you can't make sense of them,
well, I suppose I could discuss it on the boat.

Uh, right. I was meaning to ask if there was still an opening for the
trip. So, a) is there? And b) how much of a problem would bringing
Serafina cause?

Haven't heard from Kyle in a while, so I think I'll pay him a visit
over at Haven to see if he is interested in going.]<<<<<

(TM).

+++++include facility_report

Hey, you decide about going on that cruise yet?

*****PRIVATE: Sam-I-Am
>>>>>[It doesn't appeal to me much. Firstly, the prospect of spending an
extended amount of time with Kirk fails to fill me with joy. Secondly, the
idea of being confined with a large number of people on a boat out in the
middle of the sea makes me feel exposed and nervous.]<<<<<
-- Lorax <17:43:43/12-09-59>

*****PRIVATE: Lorax, Cat in the Hat
>>>>>[What? How often does a chance like this come along? I looked it up,
and that ship is *nice*.

+++++include ship_data

Do you know how many jobs it would take us to afford a spot on that ship
normally? Look at it this way, if you gotta work for the the woman, you may
as well get everything out of her you can.

Hey, I know what'll make you feel better about the trip. You said Kirk's
message mentioned something about as many people as wanted to go, right? So
why don't Cat and I will come along with you, to keep you safe? A terrible
hardship, but anything for our good buddy, Theo, right? (C'mon Cat, back
me up on this).

-- Sam-I-Am <17:54:27/12-09-59>

*****PRIVATE: Sam-I-Am, Lorax
>>>>>[I don't know. Kirk barely knows we exist, and you want us to attach
ourselves to her party? Sure, it'd be nice to live like an exec for a
while, instead of just spying on them, but I'm a little wary about
potentially giving her and her corp that much info on us...

Damm, but that's a nice ship. Ah, you only live once anyway. I say we go
for it.

*****PRIVATE: Cat in the Hat, Lorax
>>>>>[See, Theo, Cat agrees with me. What can it hurt to ask, anyway?

Besides, it'll be a learning experience for Ariel.

*****PRIVATE: Sam-I-Am, Cat in the Hat

ask.]<<<<<
-- Lorax <18:28:27/12-09-59>

*****PRIVATE: Kirk
>>>>>[Here is the surveillance report on that facility:

+++++include facility_report

My two colleagues, who gathered the majority of this information, want me to
ask if they could also be included on your junket.

Message no. 5 *****PRIVATE: Lorax

phone or in person to discuss it further.]<<<<<

*****PRIVATE: Michael
>>>>>[Sometimes brute force is more appropriate, or at least I presume
that's what the original author thought.

Yes, there's still plenty of room - so far the total is Lorax (+2
guests), Thirstein (+1), Faerie (+1), Mr Gone, and Ice (+1). I don't
know what sort of problems an ally would cause, I'll have to look into
that and let you know.]<<<<<
