>>>>>[My apologies for the delay in our reply. Our Shadowland access was
briefly compromised, and I felt you would value security over speed.

We have begun surveillance as per your instructions, rather than wait for
resumed comms and the advance funds: you may transfer the advance at
your convenience, now. Nurfton is alert and cautious, but his security is
mundane which makes our task much easier.

On Friday, he spent most of the day at Descabiere's residence. Leaving at
1944 hours, he went directly to the Silver Chalice club. Arriving at 2016,
he remained there all night, emerging at 0726 the next morning and
returning to Descabiere's residence. We were not able to follow him into
the Chalice without attracting undue attention: however, we were able to
determine that he spent the night with one of the dancers (description
enclosed).

On Saturday, he left at 1126 to have lunch with this group at La Trattoria
Romana:

[Roy 'The Grinder' Nurfton, slightly distorted through window glass: sharing
a joke with two men and a woman, all young, sharply dressed and with
that indefinable aura of danger]

We haven't identified his companions.

>From there he went on to a warehouse at the north end of Fort Lewis,
where he was supervising an interrogation. That took him about three
hours. He went back to Descabiere's to change: he'd got quite badly
splashed (Nurfton seems to like the hands-on approach to extracting
information).

He was out of there around 1900, back down to the Chalice. This time, he
took the girl (same girl) home with him. She left this morning, about
1020, in a cab: he's still there.

I'll give you a flat quote - >>not unreasonable amount<<. You tell me the

give me the other half. Nay, I forget you ever existed until you offer me
another job.

Okay, nice and simple. The subject is Joe Kennear, who works at Chardy
Manufacturing in Puyallup, and lives at >>address<<. He needs a lesson in
good manners that leaves him bruised and battered, but alive and not
permanently damaged.

The message is this - "There's never been a union at Chardy. There never
will be a union at Chardy. Live with that. Or not." Preferably after you
beat the snot out of the jerk, but he needs to be awake to hear and
understand it.

Shakespeare it ain't, but the stupid slot should get the idea.

glad you responded.

The mission is relatively simple, but requires discretion and
observation. I require you to visit the territories of the Molpok
Syndicate, in the Calamian Islands in the Pacific, and investigate
conditions there.

My interests lie in four regions.

Firstly, the technical. What is the transport infrastructure like? In
what state are the entry points of airfields and ports, and how good are
the internal lines of communication from them?

Secondly, the political. I would like an opinion, based upon discreet
observation, of the Syndicate's behaviour as a ruling body. Most such
statelets are exploitative and unpleasant, but is the Molpok Syndicate's
leadership gratuitously or excessively so?

Thirdly, the geographical. I would like the following coastal areas
examined, and at least high-resolution trideo film of them from ground
level (preferably near the surf line, indeed surfing or other aquatic
sport would be an excellent cover for such activity):

+++++include list: beaches.dat

Finally, the military. This will be the most difficult, but comments and
observations about the Syndicate's military forces and posture would be
most appreciated.


I accept that not all these observations may be convenient or even
possible, but I will pay the previously-mentioned sum as a baseline
minimum for what I feel to be an acceptable performance undertaken in
good faith. There will be bonus payments if you are able to obtain
additional information or provide more detail.

With best regards.]<<<<<

Weasel, I'm going to want you to handle the first part, checking out the
transportation infrastructure. That should be right up your alley.

We'll handle the second objective as a group -- we each can make ourselves

compare notes on from several differing angles.

data. Make sure you pack that black bikini, babe. <g> Don't worry, guys,

The task I require should not be difficult, but requires the ability to
cut through a considerable volume of low-quality IC: the data I seek is
scattered across a number of repositories, and while none are
particularly secure all have at least some protection.

I am looking for details of losses to commercial shipping, in the region
of the Calamian Islands (a region in the Pacific, near the Phillipines).
I have the headline figures of the number of reported incidents, but I
require a considerably more detailed breakdown of losses over the last
three (minimum) to five (preferred) years.

For each incident, I would like to know the name and ownership of the
vessel(s) attacked, the estimated cost of the attack, any casualties
suffered, and as much information as is available about the attackers -
particularly where arrest warrants were issued or served.


This task pays >>decent sum<< as a minimum, with 25% up front and the
remainder upon completion. If you are able to exceed my expectations
then a bonus will be added.]<<<<<

*****PRIVATE: Tron
>>>>>[Hurrah! I did it! I knew the yen I laid out to get that shadowland
address was worth it. That's right, Mr. Diary, I did my first run.

So, for prosperity's sake, here is the record:

+++++begin video

"So, do you understand completely, 'Tron'?" says a nondescript human male,
sitting at a smoky corner of a local cafe. The quotes around the name could
be heard clearly. The one addressed as 'Tron' is an asian male, with nothing
to make him stand out from the rest of the asian population of the world.

"Yes, Mr. Jay. I got it." Tron grins and stands up, picking up the white
paper envelope. He pauses as he feels the envelope between his fingers,
index finger trailing over the flowing script of "Sam Russken" on the front.
Removing a credstick from his pocket, "Now, for my advance payment."

The nondescript male nods and removes a pocket secretary, and with a few
taps, transfers an advance payment. "Appreciate that, Mr. Jay. Now, you have
the account to put the rest when this is done, so, if there is nothing else,
I will be off."

Tron turns and leaves before waiting for an response, and hops over the
nearly rusted iron grating surrounding the outdoor portion of the cafe.
Dressed in black synthleather, like what trid portrays a "typical" runner
might wear, Tron fades into the night fairly easily.

+++++end video

I think that went off well, don't you? Now, on to the real substance.

+++++begin video

[A small trid screen shows a small red dot traveling among lines and other
dots, in what one might assume is a GPS-type traveling system. The screen
appears for a second in the beginning of the video before it starts to show
the road again.]

Tron whistles to himself as he races down the highway, heading for Renton.
Hills flash by in the distance, as he gets closer to Renton, before the
highway curves through a light area of industry, and finally into
residential area. Cruising the local streets, 433 Herbert Hoover Blvd is
easy enough to spot, and Tron parks in the local lot by the building.

Moving smoothly past the doorman, Tron just walks into the apartment
building and walks up the stairs to the second floor. A small red-timer
appears in the corner of the vid for just a second, showing that it is a few
minutes past five PM.

After two knocks on the door is unanswered, Tron settles down to wait by the
door.

Hours later, a large man exits the elevator, stumbling drunkenly towards
apartment 2B. The black-clad figure by the door finally rises and says, "Sam
Russken?"

"Who wassa know? Eh?" The man peers at the black figure, "Who the frag are
you, fragger and why are ya in fron'ta mah door?" The sentence is followed
by a loud burp (a belch even!).

"Got a letter for you." Tron removes the envelope from his jacket, opening
it up wide enough that the hilts of his twin Manhunters can be seen. "My
employer wants you to read it."

"Frag you! Git outta my doorway and scoot, fragger." Russken stumbles past
Tron and clicks open the maglock.

"Really, sir. I've been told you need to read this, so you will. One way or
another." The sound of metal hitting metal as the hilts of the Manhunters
clash seems to emphasize Tron's point.

Russken turns in the doorway and grabs the letter out of Tron's hand,
"Fraggin' .." as he mumbles off. "You a fraggin' keeb under that helmet,
fragger?" Russken grumbles as he rips open the envelope. Scanning the
contents briefly, it seems to sober him up for a moment before he stuffs it
into his pocket angrily, "Is this some kinda sick joke? Get out of my
house!" as he slams the door hard in Tron's face.

"Well, that could have gone better.." Tron muses for a moment as he turns
and heads out, getting on his bike and heading home.

+++++end video

Not exactly the exciting thing I was hoping for, but they say you have to
start at the bottom right? Although I did get a rush when I got to "clank"
my pistols.. Nova-coke has nothing on the pure rush of adrendaline. Anyway,
off to bed and to cleaning Ebon and Scarlet.]<<<<<

Perhaps I'm sending him the prelude to blackmail, because although he's
broke he can copy security passes and grant my army of black-clad ninjas
access to his place of work.

Perhaps he works as a cleaner at a publishing house, and he could
accidentally drop a certain manuscript into a shredder for me.

Perhaps he has stunningly beautiful sixteen-year-old twin daughters who
I'm offering to purchase as my own personal love-slaves.

Perhaps I'm contaminating him with a lethal but banned bioweapon as part
of an illegal field test.

Perhaps I'm General Jason Lynch testing to see which 'runners have
consciences and will stand up for the little guy.

Maybe I'm a bored college boy spending some spare cash on a prank,
because I need to prove I've "hired a Shadowrunner!" to get into Phi
Kappa Lambda.

Could be I work for certain business interests in Vegas and this is just
making sure he gets the repo notice on his house, his car and his life
before the Heavy Mob come and collect on his unwisely-pledged IOUs.




You think any of those reasons are true? Who knows? Maybe I just got an
encrypted message that I had to read with my Special Secret Decoder Ring
and then carry out, and you know as much as I do.

So, when you posted to Valance, a few of my smart frames that have been

and began a counter-trace to see where the sudden interest was coming
from.

Wasn't easy. I like my frames smart and quiet, but since a lot of them

the back trace was spotted and a number of them got shot down, lost, or

+++++Logging in Fang_HeadCam

Fang sorts his way through the evening crowd in the Easy Eight. A rough
bunch, but surprisingly well behaved. He pauses briefly to note a big
ork with enlarged fangs, dreadlocks, and two small horns on his
forehead, who nods slightly at a nearby table. Reaching the bar, he
stops the mountain of a bartender behind it after he finishes taking
orders.

"Vincenzo? Johnson by the name of Valance was looking to meet Khadgar,
I'm supposed to meet him. He here yet?"

The bartender's nod points in the direction of a table, where a far-too
clean-cut man sits alone.

"Thanks," Fang replies to the unspoken answer and slides some cred
across the bar.

[in lightly accented Cantonese] "Not going to buy me a drink?"

Fang turns to meet eyes with Asuka, already on his arm.

"You're lucky you still wear the same perfume," he replies bluntly.

"I know how a little gun oil behind the ears gets you hot and bothered,
but a girl should smell like a girl," she purrs.

"Stay sharp. Valance is already here. I've got to go."

"I'm always sharp." She nuzzles Fang and plants a kiss too close to the
audio pick-up before letting him go.

Fang makes his way to the table. "Valance?" The question gets a curt
nod, so he sits down across from a fellow that looks like he spent four
figures to dress down.

"Shouldn't business come before pleasure?" Valance asks with
Corporate-issue disdain, looking back in Asuka's direction.

"I am among friends, is it wrong to mingle a little? But, you are
correct. We should get down to business. I am here as a representative
of Khadgar." Fang's tone is neither threatening nor pleasant but flat
enough to be disturbingly in between.

"Friends? I see," the innuendo is practically dripping off the walls.

The look on Valance's face changes from snide to mildly irritated as
Fang waits for something more substantial to be said.

"Anyway," after a short pause, Valance gets down to business, points
lost, but time to move on, "Your associate Khadgar has already been told
what needs to be done about this person," passing a chip case across the
table. "I doubt you've been as far as New York in the past, perhaps this
job will expand your horizons."

"It may," replies Fang, still flat-toned, "Thank you for the
opportunity. We will of course require a deposit," he passes a note
across, presumably a figure is written thereon.

The Johnson looks at it briefly, and without a change in expression
pulls out his credstick, transfers some money to a blank one, and slides
it across.

"I'll expect to hear from you shortly, then," he says, and gets up to
leave.

Fang watches him go, observing three apparently random members of the
crowd follow him towards the door, forming up into a protective phalanx
as they get there.

"Valance has left the building," Fang mutters.

+++++Signal lost

"We've lost his signal," says a disembodied mechanical voice.

"Eyes," rumbles Khadgar, "They're not obsolete yet..."

Across the room, Fang is getting up, giving Khadgar a brief glance
disguised as a random look around the room. As he leaves, the random ebb
and flow of the crowd hides him a few times, but not for long. He
reaches the door, always a good sign at one of these meets, and leaves.
Shortly behind him, a leather clad street samurai with not quite enough
stubble to fit the clothes.

"Suspicious character," mutters Khadgar.

"Where?" asks the disembodied voice.

"Coming out now."

+++++Handshake accepted
+++++Logging in Drone_A

The street outside the Easy Eight is slightly less disreputable than
you'd expect for that neighbourhood. Fang is getting on his bike as the
tail comes out. It seems to be taking Fang a while to get the bike
started - not long enough for the tail to get suspicious though. As Fang
roars away, the not-quite-street-enough samurai gets into a plain brown
sedan and follows him. The drone joins the procession, flying just under
the back of the sedan.

"We've got multiple drones on Fang," says the disembodied voice,
"There's a bit of ECM starting up, I'm going to have to fire up some
countermeasures soon, and they'll know we're here."

"Fang, how long til you're in the bottle?" asks Khadgar.

"About a minute, maybe," Fang replies,

"Do it then," Khadgar says, "Let the games begin,"

The drone drops back, then gains height and passes the sedan. Targetting
information and ECCM readouts flicker in the corners of the screen as
the electronic battle commences. Then a flash of light ahead, above
Fang, reveals the opening phase of the physical battle. Fang flinches,
his bike weaving slightly, as the wreckage of a drone hits the tarmac
nearby.

The POV-drone banks, turning 180, and passes the sedan again. The driver
can be seen leaning forward, trying to get a look at what's going on up
there. A stream of tracers flies past from the left, getting closer, and
the drone jinks wildly, trying to shake off whatever lock is on it.

Fang's monster street bike winds its way through the mostly empty but
cluttered streets of Puyallup while the drone battle continues above and
behind him. He glances at his rear view mirror at regular intervals to
check that the brown sedan is still tailing him, and catches a few more
flashes as the drones fall behind, locked in their own game of cat and
mouse.

Fang is either not trying hard enough to loose the fellow, his tail is
not trying hard enough to be made, or a combination of the two.

"Your men ready?" Fang subvocalizes calmly. "Good. ETA: 1 minute."

After a few turns deeper into the Barrens, Fang swings into a
single-lane alley between some dilapidated buildings. He spots the car
coming to a stop at the mouth of the alley and then turns his bike into
an intersecting alley, deeper into the knot of buildings.

A few seconds later, he announces, "Confirm, target is in. Spring the
trap," Fang subvocalizes again, and quickly spins his wheel out so that
his bike blocks the alley mid-way down its length. The lights of the
sedan shrink on the intersections walls, and it turns into the alley.
Its lights catch Fang fully just as he levels a compact military-style
weapon at its hood and pans slightly left.

The first burst from Fang's submachine gun blows the right front tire
and headlight, causing the car to swerve and scrape into the nearby
wall. The bright flashes at the points of impact show the rounds are
explosive. Its second and third bursts tear into the sedan's grill and
hood, leaving gouts of coolant steam to pour out as the car grinds to a
halt. Meanwhile, lights of a number of motorcycles converge from the
visible entrances to the alley junction.

Shouting for the first time, Fang commands the street sam in the car who
is still trying to yank the remnants of the car's airbag out of his way,
"Drop your weapon and remain still. You are surrounded." The sam seems
to get the clue that because his head has not already been blown off,
compliance is probably the best way to get out of this in one piece, and
raises his hands. Fang then directs him, "Keep your left hand up, and
open the door _SLOWLY_ with your right." He follows the order, as a
number of the go-gangers pull up close behind his car with various heavy
caliber pistols, light machine pistols, and improvised melee weapons.
Other bikes can be heard coming up behind Fang.

At Fang's insistence, the sam gets out of the car gingerly, keeping his
hands in full view, and winds up against the wall, spread-eagled, with
his fingers knotted on top of his head. Stepping up behind him, Fang
rams his fist, armored with what looks like a fingerless,
technologically-savvy cestus, into the base of the sam's skull. The
stun-glove discharges with an audible crackle, and the sam's head
rebounds off the wall as he crumples backward into an unconscious heap.

"Oooh...now that's just plain mean, omae," a lyrical voice announces
from behind Fang.

"Easier to search for weapons if he's not resisting," Fang replies, gun
still trained on the slightly spasming street sam, as he turns him over
with a boot. "Cover him," he directs to no-one in particular and
produces a compact, buzzing wand. The metal detector allows Fang to
quickly fish out the sam's pistol, and relieve him of a
too-flashy-to-be-useful boot-knife. Fang then takes off the man's
armored jacket and gives him another scan to be sure. Nudging him over
again with his boot, Fang uses industrial-looking zip-ties to bind the
sam hand and foot.

Assured the sam is in no way capable of getting anywhere, even if he
wasn't a drooling, bloodied mess, Fang finally stands up straight and
turns to his support team. At the front of the gang, a lithe figure of
indeterminate gender removes its helmet to revealing a cascade of black
hair and long, slender ears whose skin is tinted the same electric-blue
as the rest of the face.

"You sure you won't let us have a little fun with the meat puppet?" it
asks in the same melodic voice as was heard earlier.

"Sorry, Shiva. My associates are quite interested in what he may have
to say. He'll be more talkative if he has all his parts. At least to
start with, anyway."

"Pity."

"I'm sure your boys will find plenty of enjoyment with this." Fang
hands over some unmarked cred sticks to the blue-skinned elven
go-ganger. "They've earned it." He picks up the sam's blade. "You can
keep this as a souvenir, if you'd like."

"Pheh!" Shiva sneers in mocking disdain. "I wouldn't use that to scrape
mud off my boots. Thanks for the offer, but we'll just scrap the car.
I'd take whatever the sack of shit has on him, but it's probably
traceable. Have a friend that would look good in that jacket, though."

"That's fair."

"You have somebody coming for him?"

"Already called. Will be here shortly."

"'Kay. We'll stick around for a bit until they get here. Wouldn't want
the 'mean streets' to claim another victim tonight, would we?" Shiva
laughs.

+++++Handshake accepted
+++++Logging in Khadgar_LapelCam

Khadgar arrives from above, gliding down feet first, crouching to absorb
the impact. A canvas bag hanging over his shoulder swings around and he
guides it back into position while straightening up. From the looks on
the faces of most of the gangers, they're not especially impressed by
the display, but Khadgar doesn't seem to mind. He crosses the alley to
stand at Fang's side, looking down at the bloodied captive.

"A good haul," he says, "I took one of their drones too. Between that
and your decker's data, we should have at least the beginnings of a
lead."

"Where do you want this guy taken?" asks Fang, "And what's your plan for
transport?"

"You take this," Khadgar says, unslinging a canvas bag and dumping it
with a clang, "I'll be in touch in the next couple of days. Damien will
watch you through his drones and meet you later. Between him and Newz...
sorry, I mean your decker... they might be able to get something useful
out of it. I'll take care of this..."

The captive stirs, struggling against his bonds, as the gangers get back
on their bikes and roar off in an assortment of squealing tires and
smoke. Fang waits a little longer, then picks up the bag, grunting at
the weight.

"Damien?" he asks through his radio link, "Would you like to send
transport for this?"

Khadgar sccops up the prisoner, slings him over one shoulder, and takes
flight again, heading northeast across the city.

Able to relocate
Experience (from either side of the fence, I do not care) in security
procedures.
Your SIN must be able to stand up to a preliminary security search which
will be run through Lone Star, Knight Errant, and one other unnamed law
enforcement agency. If you have warrents for your arrest pending, please
do not apply because background checks are being conducted by an outside

Wha?
What kind of a hiring message is that? You mean you'd be perfectly happy
if a tank driver, a mage who does nothing but summon the spirits of dead
tuna, and the master of martial croquet showed up? What are you thinking?
Sigh. It isn't hard to amass more expertise than a go-ganger, but in
what? So, how's about sending another message which is a bit more clear
as to what you have in mind: infiltration, matrix work, mystic ju-ju,
protection, extraction, extortion, bringing Valentines to the old and
infirm, and maybe you'll get some bigger nibbles. Otherwise, you'll be
lucky if when you go to your meet, your team of runners turns out to be

I mean, can _you_ drive a tank? And I don't just mean trundle down a

stabilisation out of parameters? It's not exactly easy to do, you know.
In fact, it's very hard indeed to do well.

And I will be the first to admit it's not the most valuable skill on
most shadowruns, but I'd say it's more useful than being able to summon
spirits of dead tuna, unless they count as a Stink spell, but that would
depend on how long the tuna were dead for and whether it was summer or
winter, whereas being a treadhead teaches you a lot about mutual support
and the vital importance of teamwork and how you never ever annoy your
maintenance organisation and lots of other valuable skills that a lot of
shadowrunners seem to be terribly short of, while I can't really think

tuna would be useful for.]<<<<<

I have two different jobs. A group of people have expressed interest and
are trying to figure out which situation they would be better suited for.
At any rate, that still leaves things wide open for you, given your
background.

Here's the scoop:

Job #1. Investigating the blowing up of my gun shop in Boston. I want to
know the why and the who. At least in enough detail, so that if I get the
chance, I could throw them at the Justice system and make sure that they
don't get off easily for the deed.

Job #2. It's overseas. There has been an assassination overseas. Some
corporate employee. A Mr. Johnson is looking for the how and the who of
the situation due to the fact that it was officially said that the person
died of a bombing, and nothing is being done to look into it further. I
would expect that this is something the locals may not want to be
investigated so it may be an interesting situation.

Let me know which job interests you more. ]<<<<<

I would rather be doing this than the wetwork that seems to be the bread

Insertion and extraction are both by air. In, parachute from a Herk,
low-altitude drop with us and our equipment.

How many PoWs - maximum possible is 158. Probably under a hundred,
though, given the way the camp went over: surprise attack and massively
outnumbered.

Out, we seize and secure a runway or half a mile of straight road, the
Herks come in and we ride out.

How much intel available: we've got our own air recon, which has built
up a good picture of the area. Since this is now a business affair, I'm
airgapped from any UCAS sources like NRO's satellites, but there's
plenty of commercial imagery around that we can buy. We have some HUMINT
in the region, but that's still developing.

Team size: needs to be _good_ (not a problem from what I've seen of your
people_ and needs to be a coherent unit: you'll probably get one of the
objectives to handle as a unit. Within those limits, anything from
section to platoon works fine.

Glad to have you aboard.]<<<<<

If the hermetics (and reasonable approximations thereat) could show her a
few things, she'd probably appreciative it. I'd like you all to take a look
at her for group membership, and I think you'll find she's aceptable (even
you new members will know by now that we'll generally take almost anyone).

If Kirk blows the whistle, ummm. Kirk may or may not know I'm Faerie yet,
but I sort of want her to think the new Faerie is me, so could you feed her
a transparent lie. (Eg at a physical meet tell her that Ice is at home with
a headache or something, and this is a new member, his, I mean, her name is
Faerie. Yup. Or Danielle. She's not masking, that really is her aura. No
Ice in there, no sir.) If she pushes it, tell her that she's not really

Although, I thought, if she did give a damn, she would have asked where
Ice was all this time. As for telling her that Danielle v2.0beta is you,
that would be a disservice to both of them. As for Kirk blowing a

just ask her to do it, I have to lie to her and manipulate her into acting
that way. Confused yet? I know I am. Maybe if I type it all out it'll help
me think it through.

I want people who come looking for my by observing the shifters to see that
Ice is not there anymore. Damn, they will think, where can we search.
Jerzyck SIN... dead, damn. But would he abandon his group? Because this elf
woman Faerie joined the shifters right then, and she came from where
Jerzyck went, that's a bit convenient. She's a NZ elf, and so's he, and
he's known for shapechanging willy-nilly... maybe she's him in disguise? So
if they see Kirk acting like Faerie is me, then that'll add to the chances
they come to that conclusion. Any action against Faerie alerts me, and I
disappear to Fiordland or the East cape for a year or two. Maybe I need
something to point to the transition between Ice and Faerie though... maybe
she should get a tattoo removal treatment, to explain why she's not wearing
my Dragon. Tell her that when you see her, will you? Pay for a tattoo
removal to be put on her records somewhere. And she'll have to bond El Nino
too. It's in my room at the warehouse, could you give it to her when you
see her? TIA. And I guess she will need some help with shadowland, she has
no talent with computers. And yes, she'll be sticking with Faerie.

"panties in a bind" would quite cut it describing her state of mind.
(BTW, you do good work, I can't tell you two apart.) Didn't help either
that we've recently had a spate of terrorism here in Seattle, body count
is over a hundred, so they were on the verge of cavity searches coming or
going from the airport. And if that wasn't enough, her ride didn't show.
She calmed down quite a bit when I showed her your katana, she likes it.
Gotta say though, "El Nino"? The Christ Child? For a weapon focus?
That's a dumber name than Faerie, so I guess I'll let the latter slide
more easily now, must be a deeper problem than I thought.

Anyway, I showed her a copy of the message you sent me. She was going to
take care of that "tattoo removal" today. I'll wait until everybody gets
a chance to meet her before we talk membership and bringing her up to
speed on the whole Kristling thing.

Oh, and about Shadowland, if you can give me all your stuff on your

account. Helps to have friends of high but disreputable talent in the CS
department willing to teach you a thing or two in exchange for certain,
thaumaturgical favors. Her using your account, of course, means that you

That will be fine.


OK. The details of the contract.


The employer is offering >>healthy amount<< for the following.


+++++Include pic


This man will be arriving in Seattle on the 17th. He will arrive via
JalEl Airlines from Saudi Arabia, flight 247 at 18:25. He will leave
Seattle International Airport in a black limousine at 18:45.


The limousine and it's occupants are to be destroyed utterly. The
attack must be witnessed, and must be as public as you can manage.
Suggestion is to hit the vehicle as it exits from the airport heading
for the Intercity Turnpike. The hitter needs to be seen by some people.
Clothing and disguise will be provided at a secure address.


This may result in some adverse publicity, it will certainly provoke a
rapid and extensive response from security forces, so you will need to
be able to get out of the area pretty smartly. Details of your
employment will be held by me alone, so there will be nothing to betray
your name or your hire. I will arrange a safe drop point for the
clothing you are to wear during the hit. I do not foresee any problems
regarding reaction against you. However, as is standard with any
contract brokered through me, medical facilities will be available if
required.


Is the contract acceptable?]<<<<<

Your target will be one of the following:

Brigadier-General Mark von Drexler, Chairman, Intelligence Oversight

since I need to live with these guys later, they can't be considered
expendable. Casualties, yes. Wastage, no.

If you want quality talent... I can lay hands on at least half-a-dozen
right away if the price is right. Mostly shooters, one rigger. All
experienced, good hands, but that means they don't work cheap. You want
bozos, I can rustle up a dozen or two in a couple of days.

Now one of your people has suddenly caught a bad case of Death. And none

None of my people has had a case of death. One of my equals has had a case
of death. You're expendability is nothing to do with the matter, you won't
get caught because no-one knows who the hell you are. Entero was located
through corporate espionage, if that got anything on you, then it's the
name Easy. Coming after you would be fruitless, because you're probably not
even working for us anymore. So I can see how you might be vaguely
concerned about the security at our end, but you're not in the firing line,
I am. If I'm happy with my system, I don't see why you have to worry.

You're right though, saying that Entero had gone on vacation might have
been better in terms of presenting myself as a competent employer. What can
I salvage? If we're compromised it's either above my rank, or in Entero's
division (which has been thoroughly sanitised, if that's any comfort to
you).

Where did you used to work that you became accustomed to higher standards
of professionalism? And right now you're wasting your time talking to me,
because we're just arguing. But in the next paragraph...

have to publish a response time for this part of town, and pay me tax
rebates every time they failed to meet it.

That's where I got used to having house talent: those guys you keep on
retainer for the routine jobs where exposure doesn't matter. Everyone
who checks, knows who they work for.

Anyway, that's merely detail. You explained your position, hopefully I
explained mine. You also offered a frag list.

+++++include: data.list

Those are the targets off the list that I think I could take, in the
order I figure they'd best be hit.

I'd guarantee you three hits on the list if the money was right, and I'd
be willing to go for five for enough cash and as long as you realise
you're paying for five _attempts_ not five successes.


Now, if you have the money, I can frag that entire list for you, but I
do not know yet if you have the bankroll for that. I'd need to
subcontract, and while the people I'd hire are very talented they also
don't work cheap.

Think about it, let me know.]<<<<<

there's a conference on 12-09, present will be five targets who could be
using any of a number of names. At some point they will meet and discuss
business for at least an hour. Your job is to attack them, thus encouraging
a course of action I desire. It is not necessary that you kill them, but it
has to look real. Their bodyguards should be competent enough that you can
make it look convincing without killing any of them. If you manage to get a
few of them, that doesn't concern me, but at least two of them must
survive.

The following picture shows the five of them graduating at the end of a
course on corporate operations run within Fuchi.
