>>>>>[Why is Jose hunting Lynch? Despite my orders to the contrary?

Who ordered him to use the Leopards to pursue a shadowrunner? One who has
regularly avoided - no, one who *specialises* in avoiding pursuit and
counterattacking?

And who tapped my 'phone? Internal security said it was swept, yet the
line was- of course. Divert a call from Zicahuata. Over the telephone, you
could code my voice and fake it out. Give him the orders to hunt down Lynch.

Who?
Someone close to IS, or within IS, therefore I cannot safely investigate.

Why?
I do not know.

How does it affect me?
Badly, if I am not seeing the data. What did Jose have to speak with me
about, that was so urgent? I do not know and cannot safely ask. What
was said, what was decided? Why am I being excluded?

How does it affect the mission?
Even Apart from the above, badly. It seems almost as though someone intends
Manchu to fail... though that cannot be, or they would simply give Lynch
the information he needs. Zealots?

Of course, zealots. Zicahuata's fanaticism, Lynch's history of damaging our
operations and interests. Jose would abandon Manchu to destroy Lynch. Do
our mysterious phone-tappers know this? Do they care? Or is Lynch the target
and Manchu sacrificed? All that labour, all that skill, wasted to bring down
one mercenary soldier? I cannot believe that.

I need answers, yet I have nobody I can ask. Except myself. Drown myself
in tequila and talk to my dictaphone, then see what sense it makes tomorrow.

It makes little enough sense now.]<<<<<
