see
that you have decided to join us here in the shadows. I understand that you
are making contacts and looking for a job for us to do. Let me caution you in
advance, my fine red-headed friend, do not always take the first job that
comes winging your way. It is better to pick and choose the ones that have a
better success rate, so that you can get some experience before trying for the
more difficult runs. I know that Chance will probably tell you to go for the
first job, or the highest paying job that comes along. Do what you wish, but
remember that I will not be governed by such impulse decisions, and you will
not be guaranteed of my aid if you are so wanton. You don't strike me that
way, but I must still caution you in advance. Contact me if you find a job for
us. I will talk to you later. May the spirits guide your step.]<<<<<

>>>>>['Lo there Wid. Good to see you've made up your mind. I know that
Blaze
has already spoken to you, so I'm not going to give you any tips on how to go
hunting for a job. I was just asking you if you found anything out while you
were out of touch. Did you discover anything at all about Darren? I know that
it was primarilly his disappearance that fueled your flight from the Arcology,
and I know that you've been looking for him since you left. Have you heard
anything?
My concern is that you are becoming too obsessed with finding him. I mean, it
has been over three years since he vanished. How much of a chance do you think
you have of finding him now? I know its important to you, and you just want to
know where he is and how he's doing, but don't get too carried away, kid.
Don't let your emotions get the better of you. Trust me on this one, I know
what I'm talking about. The reason I lost my original arm is because I let my
gonads do my thinking for me, instead of using my head. Don't do anything
you'll regret later. I'd hate to see you really get hurt.
Well, as always, I'm here if you need to talk. Drop me a line and let me know
how things are going.
Oh, one final thing, you want to join me and Blaze for a drink down at the
Sounding? I think I might have a line on a job myself, and I'd like you to be
there as well. The meet is set up for the 19th, at 2100 hrs. Let me know if
you're gonna make it. Thanks kid. I'll talk to you later.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Thanks for the concern, Chance, but I don't think you need to get too
worried about me. I'm not 'thinking with my gonads' as you so crassly put it.
My relationship with Darren was more than that. It was spiritual. It was true.
I don't need some two-bit chromed-up street runner telling me about
relationships. So just get off my back about it, okay?
But since you asked, I did hear some unsubstantiated rumors about him. Of
course, the trail is getting colder than Puget Sound, but I was able to pull a
few strings with some old friends of mine back in the Arcology. According to
what I've been told, Darren underwent a late goblinization, and that is the
main reason he disappeared. Trouble is, all the files I've been able to access
have denied his existance totally. Its like they want to deny he ever existed.
It's drek like that that made me decide to leave. And I'll never forget that
you helped me get out. You're a good friend, Chance, and I appreciate your
concern, but finding Darren, regardless of the condition he's in, is something
that I have to do. Would you respect my choice in this please?
Oh, and another thing, stop calling me kid. For cryin' out loud, I'm almost
23.
I'll see if I can show up on the 19th... I don't have anything planned right
now, but you never know what might happen. Talk to you later Chance]<<<<<

>>>>>[Fine. You do what you have to. I'd say I won't bail your butt out if
you
get into a scrape, but I can't. You mean too much to me. I'll see you in a
coupla days, I guess.]<<<<<
