>>>>>[well, I don't know about you, Jaez, Cooper, and RAMboy, but I know
from
recent experience that the more you brag about your capabilities and skills,
the more the wonderful users of this net will try to take you down. And I know
NO-ONE who could withstand the concerted efforts of this entire net's users.
They may be out there, but there are ALWAYS holes in security(right Raven?)
somewhere. NO system, however close to perfect, IS perfect. Like an old
friend of mine once said, "Anything that can be designed and built by (meta)-
humankind can be broken into or destroyed by (meta)humankind."]<<<<<

>>>>>[Ganz. Where is the cooperation you promised me. I have helped you
in your petty little machinations. If you cannot provide me with more
than just some recorded transcript, I may have to change our arrangement.
I am losing patience, do not disappoint me.]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Ganz, I feel only disgust for you. You forced me to try and lure
the
lady Jaez from her hiding place. You threatened my family then tried to stop
me from reaching them. Well as you probably know your plan didn't work, I'm
moving Mum and Dad to a safe location as I speak, one which you won't be able
to find. The Carribean League covers a large number of islands and if you
talk to the right people you'll be suprised what you can do, what's more these
people care. I may be English but my ancestors orginally came from the
Carribean, so in some ways it's almost home for Mum and Dad.

But Ganz, I hope you learned your lesson from all of this. Sure you delayed
me at the airport but you really thought I would be alone. Oh, I know now
all about your plan to way lay IBA in the matrix, but you obviously didn't
expect Nightstalker to show up and lend a hand. I do hope your decker has
recovered from dump shock now. He should learn in future not to mess with
two deckers as experienced as IBA and Nightstalker at the same time.

Then when it looked like I would get onto the plane without a hitch you sent
you're goons, in. What a pathetic bunch... Sure I didn't want to hang around
to be questioned by the police which Nightstalker so kindly alerted, but I
had to admit that the look on their faces was so funny when Raven summoned an
air elemental into their midst, what with them just trying to keep their feet
then the airport police placing them under arrest it's a shame I couldn't stay
around to see the ending. Not that your men saw me leave of course, the lady
Raven is quite resourceful with her magical abilities.

So Ganz, the moral of this story is that you can't blackmail shadowrunners
and get away with it. Shadowrunners, have friends and they always do the
unexpected, you didn't realise for example that after your bungled attempt to
prevent me from leaving Seattle I simply caught an internal flight to NY, but
of course you were only monitoring external flights to the Carribean, weren't
you my dear Ganz ?

A word of warning now Ganz, you have seen what can be done by people with
friends who care. I won't allow you to hurt my family at any cost, MCT tried
to hurt them to get to me and it resulted in two of my friends paying the
ultimate sacrifice to help them. Jaez has alot of friends, I advise you to
stay away, leave her alone, go back to your boardroom deals or whatever it is
you do. If you continue to seek out Jaez it will only mean death for you and
those around you. You have been warned. ]<<<<<

*****Encrypt MPCP Nightstalker & Raven (courtesy IBA)
>>>>>[ Raven, Nightstalker. How can I thank you for your help, I would
have
surely spent the next few nights behind bars had airport security detected the
weapons in my luggage. Raven, you were great, that was some elemental you
conjured. Nightstalker, thanks, I don't fully understand what it was that you
did but IBA assures me that you were a great help.

But, Raven, have you had chance to talk to Cerise yet ? She hasn't been
answering my messgaes, I beginning to think that she doesn't feel anything for
me any more. Tell me that it's not true ... please. I've tried to explain
to her what happened wasn't my fault. I won't mention it as I know how easy
IBA can get past his own encryption. Tell her I still love her and if she
wants to see me then I'm always here for her. I better not give out my
location right now, as the message not given is the one no one will decrypt.
But tell her, that as soon as I'm certain that my family is safe I will come
back and hopefully .... see her then. ]<<<<<

my
reflexes up. I'm glad you got your parents to a safe place. If you need any
more help you know where to locate us. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Powerhouse, I can not contact Cerise right now. She is not
answering her
phone and isn't at her apartment either. Give her some time. I think she is
still upset about that night. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Well, chummers, scratch off one less base for Ganz. The hit on his
base near the re-ed camp in the NAN went smooth as clockwork. We surrounded
the place, then came in blasting after our deckers had taken over the security
perimeter. They never knew what hit, and never had a chance to respond. I
guarantee that noone got out of that place alive that wasn't involved in the
strike. Funny thing though.. we had a drek hot decker trying to grab data
after we stormed the place, and he said that datastores were just
disappearing from in fron of him. Fraggin weird, bu we managed to grab
some files before the system was completely fragged up. **ENCRYPT
SPIRIT--GANZ DATA** Sorry Spirit, I know it's kinda cryptic but it's the
best we could do. At least we won't have to worry about this base
anymore. It is definitely under control. Does our Benefactor have any
more tasks for me to complete? ]<<<<<
