>>>>>[You really are amusing Jason. Paranoia in some instances can be a
debilitating disease, but when opposing one such as you, it becomes a
healthy habit. I know you are here somewhere, I can smell you, I can
smell that mangy cat you drag around with you everywhere. What is it
with you and ex-junkie fur spitters anyway? Do you not realise that
beastiality is a mortal sin in the eyes of the Gods?


Fort Lewis is completely unacceptable, as would it be if I invited you
to my headquarters. Certainly I will name somewhere else.


Mount St. Helens. 09:00, May 1.
Lake Young, Renton, 10:00 May 1
Pioneer Park, Council Island 11:00 May 1
Crater Lake, Tairngire, 12:00 May 1


There is nowhere that you will meet me in trust, nor anywhere I will
meet you in trust. We both know that.


However.


Consider one of these two alternatives >>Squak Park<< or >>Downtown
location<< Both provide plenty of view for your pirate trid station
drones, the general public can come and watch us. Hey, we could even
charge tickets. I'm sure the survivor would make a healthy profit.


This whole thing bores me, your evasion bores me, the posing blockhead
amateurs on the streets of this misbegotten city bore me. The ignorant
odd tempered poseurs who seek to torment me bore me. The pathetic
attempts of the individual heroes on the nodes bore me - their endless
posturing and rhetoric is incredibly tedious. There are few out there
worthy of my attention, and less than those few that I fear. None have
the abilities, the brain power, the skill or the determination to find
or kill me. You, I give that chance to. Why? Because you have been an
expensive pain in the arse.


Either you meet me or I begin a firestorm that will make even the sun
dim in comparison. This is no idle threat Jason. I /will/ burn Seattle
to the ground to find you. And as you well know, there is nothing
anyone can do to prevent that. Both Redomond and Puyallup will burn
like a torch. The immense buildings of Downtown will make a suitable
pyre, impossible to fight because of the size of these monoliths, Tacoma
is a bomb waiting for a match. Snohomish can be infested with the
chemical weapons I have at my disposal. Everett, Fort Lewis - NOWHERE
is safe from me, you know it, the government knows it, the badly fitting
suits with cheesy glasses know it. In this environment I am invincible,
of that there is no doubt. You cannot defend against the people
themselves, and it is the people who are my weapons. It is the poseur
wannabee shadowrunners, the self glorified assholes who would hunt me
that will set the torch to the flame, it is the actions of the
metahumans and racist thugs that will fan the flames, and it is the very
military that guards this city that will destroy it for me.


End it Jason, do something decent just once in your miserable murderous
life. Don't bore the world by attempting to take me down with that
famous tactic of yours - try me like a man. Prove to yourself that you
have the decency, the courage, the edge to meet an opponent worthy of
destruction. Come on old man. Don't make me do what you know I will.


I am and have been a treacherous person, I have done questionable
things, but in this, heh, in this I mean what I say. You and I, hand to
hand, face to face. Your experience and cyberware, against my youth and
skill.


There will always be the risk of someone claiming the bounty on your
head. As there is always the risk of someone who considers you friend,
attempting to kill me. I will at least attempt to make sure I keep my
end of the bargain, and make certain of insurance against your family,
backup or friends from taking a hand.


If I die, the violence ends. If you die the violence ends. If we both
should die - so be it. You have cost me dearly Jason, and it is time to
pay the Ferryman.


Be there, or watch your city burn.]<<<<<
