>>>>>[Goku: You're a wuss. Sneaky wuss, but still a wuss. All you do is
fiddle around with sedentary systems. Wait 'till the giants asleep before
trying to steal its golden harp. Wimp.

We go in there guns blazing. Burn down the giant's castle, get his
wife pregnant (okay... Gabe handles that department, theres only so much I
can do... -- Jenna), steal his ENTIRE treasury, learn how to the play his
harp and THEN steal his harp. All in time for breakfast.

Regardless of the backup situation. (yes, we've had bogus runs
pulled on us)]<<<<<

>>>>>[Remind me never to run with you two. Unless, of course, I really
need to distract those annoyin Red Samurai or Leopard Guards.

You two play noisy, and if that's what you're best at and proudest of,
more power to you. In my not-even-remotely-close-to-dreamin-about-bein-
humble opinion, that's not shadowrunnin. I'm a physical penetration
specialist, sans Matrix support. To me, sneakin in while the giant's
asleep, to borrow your metaphor, is smart, not wimpy. If anyone knows I
was there, I failed. I get paid a drekload for makin sure that my target
never knows I was there, but rather just that my target is missin from
thier inventory.

Frag, there were times when I was hired to extract a single person from
a corp, or a hostage from a kidnappin situation, or similar drek, and I
did it alone, with no fraggin help from anyone, and the targets never
knew what happened. Most of them still don't.

Drek, man, ever sneak into a buildin, plant a single explosive charge,
sneak out, and laugh your hoop off when the charge knocked down a buildin
just prior to a corp takin possession of it? I have, and the corp never
knew what hit em. They figured(and still do) that their competitor blew
up the buildin, when it was another corp altogether.

Hey, if you want to power through, more power to you. It's not my cup of
tea.]<<<<<

>>>>>[What do you all make of these two? I made some cursory background
checks,
nothing too deep, and I can't make any significant inroad into their
backgrounds. Now a) They're a pair of posers who are just going to keep
bigmouthing around here until someone sees fit to put them down...
Or b) They really _are_ pros, in wich case they are up to something,
because I can't believe any pros would have such a fraggin' flamboyant
M.O. and last more than 3 weeks. Anything on those pics they keep posting?
Whatever happens, after what went down with Righteous & Dana, I heartily
reccomend total distrust as the better path for survival]<<<<<

>>>>>[You folks think the whole Jen and Gabe issue is a facade? One could
only hope that people whose egos are seen by others as being super-huge
ARE faking it. . .but you gotta be careful. Similar incident in which a
group and I had to keep tabs on some chick named IC-Skater who was
crashing corps left and right according to her. Yeah, whatever, right?
Turns out that on one run in which IC Skater just happened to be tagging
along, she got us out of serious matrix trouble---and double quick, too.
Don't fret so much about the egos of Jen and Gabe---if they've really got
it,they'll come through when you need it to most; if not, then oh well. .
.look, two more 'runners got booted out of existence. Bullet end
first.]<<<<<
