Message no. 1 >>>>>[Sorry I haven't been on for a while, I've been decking around the
rest of
the Matrix and came up with a lot of little snippets of information that I
believe may interest several parties here:

1: RUFUS as an AI? I couldn't tell you, I haven't actually seen his
persona or dealt with him. Even if I did, I wouldn't neccessarily be able to
tell. Anybody familiar with psychology want to track him down?
Anyway, I decked into the UN Sec Council's logs and found out that
they're already moving on AIs. Seems there have been at least hafl a dozen
sightings of possible Artificial Intelligences in the past year, with sporadic
sightings in the past. The UN hasn't gone public with the data because much
of it is speculative; there's enough evidence to warrant concern but little can
be proven. Anyway, the Sec Council is forming a regulatory committee with its
own enforcement agency to regulate the power of AIs when they become a definite
reality. To use a 20th cent term, every AI is going to need an "electromagnetic
shotgun wired to its brain" that would go off if the AI ever overstepped its
bounds.

2: A man matching Harada's description was wanted for randomly shooting
at the freeway passing UCAS CIA HQ. The man was eventually tracked down and
hunted for three days in the woods, apparently slipping through the iron grasp
of the combined CIA, FBI, State Patrol and a detachment of UCAS Rangers. When
they finally got him, it was after a prolonged battle involving automatic
weapons, grenades, and incendinary devices. Very little of the body was left,
but post-mortem forensic genetic matching came up with only one name: Quention.
The official investigation ends there; apparently Q pulled connections to close
up the case.
One more thing: In the skirmishes leading up to "Harada's" capture,
survivors reported increasingly random, erratic behavior and more desperate
maneuvers. Maybe this guy was a beta release of Harada who went wild and lost
it in the end. Sleep Tight, Dark Elf.

3: Dr. Doom, could you use some of your influence and arrange for any
friends of yours in the entertainment industry to consider me as potential
talent? I've decided to go for it and be an actress, as a possible precursor
to stim. But I don't know anyone there. I've already decked some false
appointments but some things require that extra personal touch. Vielen Dank
und aufwiedersehen.]<<<<<

totally different. Why would they find his code with a Harada look alike? I
think you just ran over a piece of disinformation. Makes me wonder what old
General Trevor is up to. ]<<<<<

This is going to be the last run for me for a short while. I need to
take care of some personal business directly after this. I have
arranged for extraction to a save place for myself and anyone else
who needs it. Any of you are welcome to join me for a couple of
weeks before I move again.

DragonEyes: Please donate my share for this run to Powerhouse's favorite
charity in his name.

I have some work to do before we hit launch point. May all of your

*****Private: Tarkis
>>>>>[Not much time to explain. Shal, Abdiel, Chrome Devil, and...
someone else, have arrived. Part of your essence is missing. I think
this is related to the spell that S.A.I.C. was using to control
people... which is probably what it attempted to do to you. If my
hypothesis is correct, then I have developed a way to break the
spell... but we need to find the spell's caster. Part of the victim's
essence is likely imprisoned in a power sink that the caster can use to
control them. Either Shal or Abdiel, or both of them are under control
by this method, but the spell is either more sophisticated or less
powerful, since I can't seem to find any essence missing. Then again, I
haven't seen either of them for years, so I don't have a basis. I have it
arranged for them to both be put out of action for a while... one will be
met by Chrome Devil and one by myself in seperate areas, and both will be led
to a room which will be filled with a paralyzing gas. Both of us have the
antidote. They do not. After this, we will need to keep them imprisoned while
we hunt down DarkLord and S.A.I.C... any ideas? Speaking of ideas, we
also need to figure out why all of us are suddenly gathering here
through apparent coincidence or strange voices in our heads. Hope this
clears things up for you. Oh, one more thing. Either Abdiel or Shal may
not come to their meet. If we do, we will know which is under control,
won't we?]<<<<

Wonder _why_ Harrow wanted Squatter dead? Pique over Ploughshare?
Annoyance over that squabble on Shadowland? It sounds amateurish, and
these guys aren't amateurs. Any ideas what Squatter might have stumbled
across that could have got him killed?]<<<<<

our knowlege and helping out those who need it. They have some political
bends here and there, but that isnt tolerated. Everyone has their opinions
about things, we just try to keep that out of our research.]<<<<<
