>>>>>[I regret the delay in confirming my acceptance. There were several
details that needed to be satisfied such that I would be free to assist
you. The job seems to be well within my capability. In order for you to
equip the false ID, I enclude the following:

+++++include: WhiteTyger.3d

This is a relatively high resolution, three-dimensional picture of a young
man in a stylish business suit. He appears of mostly Chinese descent with
some european featuring in the cheekbones and eyes. His black hair is
worn long, but otherwise conservatively styled and pulled back into a
tail that drapes over his shoulder. While appearing a bit young for a
"salary-man," his lean and hungry look is appropriate for one who finished
an M.B.A. a couple years ahead of his peers. The suit, if one looks
closely, is vented appropriately that no movement would be restricted.

+++++end include

Use which ever view is most appropriate and doctor to your taste. I await
further information and instructions. Such information will, I presume,
include what resources I can expect from you or your employers in
addition to what I will be bringing with me in terms of skills and
equipment. Also, I would request information on the operatives that will
be on this mission in addition to myself.

In return, I offer:
Current Personal Equipment Planned:
body armor (form-fitting and Securetech or armored clothing)
shock gloves
collapsing Ceramic staves/Nunchaku
(concealable and difficult to detect)

Note: I did not include firearms, since I would assume the security at
this meeting would prevent their use. Any additional items you feel
appropriate would be appreciated.

Capabilities include but are not limited to:
Personal combat and magic
Steath including Magical assistance (including versus technology)
Low-light vision and Hearing Amplification
Healing magic

In regards to my magical capabilities, I follow the path of the Tiger, as
you may have surmised, with all of the benefits and penalties of being
Tiger entails. Having achieved sufficient enlightenment, members of my
order have confirmed initiation upon me, but as of yet, I have shown no
capabilities with entering or perceiving the astral plane or calling upon
the aid of the spirits. It would be beneficial to have these abilities
within at least one of the others on this mission.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Details of the ID and the job follow:

+++++Include file id&job.txt

The following attachment is an executable file. Insert your credstick with
ID files into the dataport if whatever machine you are using, and activate
the file. It will adjust your ID files so that they hold the details of the
cover ID. Your fingerprints and other similar records will remain
unchanged, but copies of them will be sent to my corporation. Please do not
try to follow or block this exchange, it is necessary for the preparation
and maintenance of the cover.

+++++Attach file sinner.exe

Once this is complete, you must assume the identity and begin to live it.
It is not inconceivable that operatives from other corps will be checking
on you, even at this early date.

Regarding your question about equipment, I will provide an Ares
BattleTechnology stealth suit, tailored (by magic that will not alter the
prtective function) to the form of appropriate business wear. The fitting
will be done whenever is appropriate, we can discuss this later. Weapons,
even those that you would consider concealable, will not be a good idea...
this is a meeting of the big eight, not the local rotarians.]<<<<<
