>>>>>[Well, I've got a member of the so-called Motley Crew, Dragon, in my
grasp, as you will see shortly. But, first, I would like to make an offer to
his friends. Buzz, One, you and your friends will not come to Anna, IF you
are not already in the area; Two, IF you are in the area, you will
immediately leave; and Three, you will never interfere with me and my
organization, again. If these conditions are met Dragon will be allowed to
live; If not, he will die in excrutiating pain. Now to deliver my little
promise:

The camera shows a dim room with concrete walls, without any
windows, and a stainless steel floor. The only light seems to be coming from
a single light bulb swinging gently on a long wire. You see clamped in a
sitting position on a chair (with what seem to be wires attached) a short,
calm Japanese male.(most of you recognize this form to be Dragon) Standing a
short distance away is a burly human, that you have never seen before. This
human is dressed in camoflage clothing and wears a black beret hat has a
white fist overlaid with a red roman numeral 5. The camera pans to a steel
door with a plexiglass window with steel bars crisscrossing it. The door
opens and in enters a human male, who looks to be middle-aged; stands about
6', and looks to be well-built although lean. His sandy-blond hair looks
like it is just barely starting to grey. The camera gives him a close-up and
you can see the malice in his cold blue eyes. The camera gives a full
shot,as he walks over to Dragon and speaks to the burly human, "Mugsy, is
this fool secured?"

The burly human replies, "Yess, he izz, Bawss."

Dragon calmly states, "Abrams, you won't win."

The lean human backhands Dragon, who doesn't even flinch, and orders, "You
will keep your mouth shut until asked, is that understood."
Dragon just looks at the human as if annoyed, but says nothing.

The lean human asks, "Where are your friends?"

Dragon does not answer.

The lean human backhands Dragon, once more: "ANSWER ME!"

Dragon replies, "Go to hell, Abrams."

The lean human (who you thought; but only now know to be Abrams), turns to
Mugsy and says, "Let's give him a little illumination."

Mugsy walks over to one of the walls where you now see a large switch. "Give
me the word, Bawss."

Abrams turns back to Dragon, "I'll give you one last chance, where are
they?!"

Dragon says, "In Seattle, you fool."

Abrams states, "You lie. Mugsy."

Mugsy throws the switch, and Dragon's body starts to jump uncontrollably; but
to your amazement there is no sound coming from Dragon, he doesn't seem to
feel the electricity flowing through his body. Abrams says after about a
minute, "Enough." Mugsy returns the switch to its original position.

Abrams asks, "Who else is with you?"

Dragon growls, "I am alone."

Abrams smiles, "Why are you here?"

Dragon replies, "I was hired to find out what is going on here."

Abrams laughs, "Tell us the truth. You and your friends heard about things
that are going on around this area, and you came here to thwart me, Right?"

Dragon says, "No."

Abrams says, "Mugsy, give him a bigger dose."

Mugsy replies, "But bawss, we're already using enough to kill weak elvess.
If we use a higher dose he may die and what good will that do uss?"

Abrams spits, "I did not get you assigned to me for your thoughts. But on
this one instance, I will agree with you." Abrams thinks for about a minute,
"Alright, give him some Sodium Pentothol, and we'll see if we can get the
information we want out of him; but, first, I will tell him how dangerous I
am." Addresses Dragon, "Well, you will not tell us what we wish to know; in
that case, you need to know something about me. I have, in the past, ordered
the destruction of a villiage in S-S Council lands. The village's name was
Silver Lake. I ordered it's destruction to cause a war between TT and NAN,
and if that had failed to place the blame on Aztlan and the UCAS. All to
promote my country's interests. I can easily destroy you as well."

Dragon replies calmly, "I do not fear death. It will be a release from this
state of being."

Abrams growls, "Give him the drug."

Mugsy moves to Dragon and gives him a shot. the camera fades and the scene
is no more.
+++++End Trideo Feed

The Sodium Pentothal did not change Dragon's statements, but we are still
working on getting the truth out of him.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Sir, we've found the target. He killed himself prior to our
dispatching him. We were seconds too late to do the deed ourself. His
swords, certainly identifying devices, are in our possession. We have
verified his death. The wounds were self-inflicted, but far too severe
to have been faked.]<<<<<

Where would you like them delivered, or would you like them as a

what any of the corps or runners who hate me so think. I am a monster
simply because I consider it a valid means to an end and do not shrink
from it. I desire no trophy. It would only make them more dangerous in
the long run, and I this demonstration is to reduce thier threat to Maxim
and myself. Deliver them to whomever of his direct friends you locate
first.]<<<<<
