However, now unto the purpose of this message, that of the comments of the
redoubtable Jaez and present antagonist, Herr Ganz:

Sie haben recht, Fraulein. Es ist moeglich, dass Ganz ein deutsche Name ist.
However, do not dismiss the possibility that he may be otherwise. Matters are
not always as they appear.

Herr Ganz: Yet another self-styled omniscient menace has arisen in the Matrix.
Mein Herr, I (we) have been threatened Lincoln Howe and his creation MONICA
(cause of the Matrix War of 2054) as well as by the likes of Tirandor, a
greater dragon, and his associates Roger Quention and General Wendel Trevor,
both very potent and well connected magicians (all of which was concerned with
the Omega Island Incident of earlier this year)

I (We) have been threatened by...experts.

Thus far, your efforts have produced nothing which would demonstrate you to be
within even their league. The materials put forth thus far have merely shown
you to be personally (or an element of an organization which is) adept at
information acquisition coupled with elementary surveillance. However, by the
mere virtue that you were able to procure personal data regarding two
shadowrunners should not be taken as conclusive indication of the power you
espoused to be possessing, much less to the magnitude you purport.

I daresay there are other members of this BBS which could have garnered
similar, if not superior, results. Hence, I would hearken you to the fact that
broad-spectrum vows of violent action, even retribution, are oftentimes
encounter considerable vicissitude in the execution. Further, such statements
can engender the wrath of numerous individuals, thus causing your own situation
to be less considerably less tenable, should they contemplate upon countering
your threats. Therefore, it is unwise to ford such claims without sufficient
support.

I would counsel you if your intentions genuine expect resolute opposition upon
our part. We technomancers and shadowrunners take not kindly to those who
would threaten our sanctity and security. Be forewarned. ]<<<<<

we do in the mean time? ]<<<<<

-- Sonic Boom <00:37:35/09-07-54>

>>>>>[ Don't naturally assume he's telling the truth. We'll check it out.
If
he's lying, it won't be the first time a corp-type blew smoke to cover
something up or to isolate a target in the shadows.

Fact is, he threatened all of us, so either he's got something to hide, or he's
at least partially afraid of something. Or both. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Right, Jack, I think I get it. So, JAEZ! Need any help from a
fellow
music aficionado? (By the way: Still got that Digital Banshees chip you gave
me...haven't gotten tired of it yet!) ]<<<<<
