>>>>>[Hey Dark Elf. You'd better watch it with those
"DeathKnight" robot things. I remember once back in '53 when something similar
popped up back home in Atlanta. Official news reports were that some *disgruntled
ex-Confed.Sys.Admin* had freaked out and went on a killing spree. Tore through the
downtown like Gen. Sherman back in the War of Northern Agression, and eventually
disappeared Southside, where some 'Domers that I know took care of *him*.
But it wasn't a him. I saw the body, and it was some kind of drone. A check of the
headware on it showed that it had some primitive military AI running the thing. It kicked
some serious drek: it even gave the 'Domers a run for thier ammo-nuyen (and if you've
ever seen a 'Domer Street Sam you know that this is no small accomplishment--those
cybered-up freaks ain't scared of nuthin.)
Anyway, the point here is that it had killed a close bud of mine, so me and some friends
looked into the thing. Seems it was made by Peachtree Robotics, a corpthat makes miltary
hardware for the C.A.S. troops. This *drone* was some kinda prototype. I'm not sure if
the program to maek these things is still running (let's just say that the C.A.S. didn't
like me and my chummers checkin' out their *top secret* military programs. That's why I'm
now livin' in Seattle!)
Just a friendly warning, but I suspect that the things you're going up against may be
funded by some Governement. Isn't *upload* with the U.C.A.S. feds? Maybe he'd know
something about thier program. . . .]<<<<<
