The people I hire here will be required to make their way into
Salish-Shidhe land and make their way quietly to a location which I will
be specifying later. At this rallying point, they will be divided into
squads based on their abilities (preferably keeping existing teams
together, of course). Each squad will have a specific target and a time
at which to hit it. These targets are paramilitary in nature, but
obviously I can't be more specific until you've accepted the offer. Said
offer being >>reasonably high amount, but not overly generous given the
border crossing<<.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Hey Chance, I don't know how effective my matrix cover is gonna be
with
this fraggin' toaster (or whatever the frag it is) running around in here, but
I have an idea...

If you can find out where the place is that they're keeping Robert, and if
they have any Matrix-linked security at all, I can trip it without too much
difficulty with the aid of our good friend Talky... heh heh who'd a thought
that the toaster would've helped us out here...

Here's what I've been thinking... I've hacked part of the code that Dante uses
to communicate with his minions (not all of it, so I can't shut them off). If,
just before you guys go in, I send Talky a message that this particular place
has not heard his message about TOAST, it will go screaming in there like a
banshee, setting everything off... just like it did at Ares... and during the
confusion, you guys can slip in and rescue the elf... what do you think? Will
it work?

Oh, and guys, the code that Dante is using is fraggin' complex! I've spent
hours workin on it, and this is all I've been able to come up with! I'm doin
my best, but it'll probably be a good couple of days before I have anything
more to work with... any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. My
BreadKnife seems to be working fairly well for now, but that could change...
I'm also working on an upgrade so that it'll be ready when my current version
goes stale (sorry.... I couldn't resist that one).]<<<<<

>>>>>[Allow me to attempt to shed some light on that --

Flute, who is owned by no one, but, at the same time, is the daughter of
someone named THE Nexus (dont forget the caps lock there), is wanted by
OS^2, a group or stack or something of deckers, who, you might be surprised
to find out, all work in conjunction with one another, decided to give
mister Frypp, a nice person, and pretty damned good judge of good looking
women, shit about his system, protected by one Christopher Tarlenton, recently
married to, you guessed it, Karen, who, you might know, reads over his
shoulder constantly when it comes to email, in response to said shit Chris
went ballistic, as you can understand.

Now, Freddy, the same guy from above, likes to piss a lot of people off, deep
down inside the thrives on the thrill of verbal fencing, seeing a way to make
a buck out of it, which, he is constantly trying to do, decided to make a
challenge out of it.

Chris, also from above, isnt going to let some 7 year old puke walk into his
systems without a fight, took this very seriously and beefed up Frypp Sec's
matrix security with the help of a smallish stack of deckers.

Flute, still wanted by OS^2, who, in my opinion, needs some major help in the
head department, started to back away from the impending doom of her going
against Chris, and, as I said before, the small stack of deckers, gathered
to her help from more experienced deckers, one oh...shit, forgot his name.

Its getting so you cant tell the deckers without a score card...

Ok -- To make a long mail message shorter (you may say, its too late, and
you would be right) Flute is going to back out, Freddy is going to continue
to make fun of her, OS^2 is still going to need help but will likely get
flute as his own, THE Nexus, also mentioned in this as a place where OS^2
could be found, will return, pissed off this his daughter, left in...No, wait,
Kovac (anyone remember him? I do, I tried to help him out with some
problems and he totally fragged me over...live and learn) might be the
father of the child known as Flute. That would make THE Nexus the mother of
the child named flute.

Oh my achin' head.]<<<<<

Nexus,
but rather an assassin who happens to be a very good buddy of mine. The
person called THE Nexus(Nex for short) is male and is right now in TNO in the
hospital. Kovac is Flute's father. Nex is her LEGAL guardian, except that
he is out of commission. I go involved in this to prevent people from
getting hurt. I am not taking sides, but will do everything I can to prevent
Flute from getting hurt. If she should get hurt there will be one VERY
pissed Assassin who from what some magically active friends of mine state is
also a physical adept. He is very quick, deadly, quiet, and efficient. He
is also a specialist in physical security systems. And he is TOTALLY insane!
I know some of his background and it ain't pretty...AND there is more of his
background that I DON'T know about.]<<<<<

she's just seven, she couldn't possibly have attained the experience some of
the old-farts around here have over the years. I wouldn't let her do this,
these boys play for keeps, and even though she's just seven, I don't think
any of these guys would hesitate to fry her just to teach her about the real
world. I Know enough about kovak to say that he would have taken the Deck
away from her a while back. I don't mean to lecture, it's just that I'd hate
to see her get hurt or worst killed. Take the deck away fomr her]<<<<<
