>>>>>[I've been thinking, Raven, how Dante could've escaped. We didn't
catch
most of the gangers, so he could have hidden among them. There may be a cure
or something that keeps Gamma-Anthrax from going nuts in the body, but I don't
know that end of it. I'd say so, or else the THUGS would've all been geeked
by thier own Antrax, and I don't remember any of them showing up at decontamination
centers.

And the guy we nailed...could Dante have gone for one of his gangers, had
cosmetic surgery done on him and some cyber implanted so that the ganger looked
and acted and sounded exactly like Dante? We don't know what kind of cyber
he really had, as he killed off all the doctors who did the implants after he
was healed. And the only time I ever got a DNA trace on him he hired a group
to do a reverse ritual and destroy the trace. Which it did, taking the mages
I had hired with it(all around bad scene...). And there wasn't enough left of
most of him to tell if the guy had vocal implants. And attitude is easy to
fake... We checked the prints and a retinal print, and they checked out, but
they can be faked...

And the deck...persona....chips.....could......have.......been........copied

Drek. That would explain the signature...wait a sec... Hold on, I have an
idea.]<<<<<

>>>>>[If the signatures on the deck are that close to identical, allowing
for
a change of icon programming, could we use the old signature cut-out to stop
him again? And just as importantly, would he have had enough time to remove
it without crippling the deck to the point of unusability?]<<<<<

>>>>>[Farfetched. I still think he's dead. Still, I've survived four years
on MTC's shitlist going by the 'maximum drek' rule, so I'll give you-and
Dante-the benefit of the doubt.

If Dante is stupid enough to use the same deck signature, then yes, the
cut-out should still work. I'll start tagging the frames and keep an eye
on them.

GENERAL NOTICE: If I'm going to be following frames around, I need another
datajock to take my place watching AI. If no-one'll do it out of the goodness
of their hearts (yeah, right) I'll stipend 1kY/week for the job. And if any
drek involving the ICE-bitch goes down, someone send me a message IMMIDIATELY.
And Solitaire, Spirit, chummers, CHILL. Null persp. Dante is dead.]<<<<<

***** Not To: Dante
>>>>>[ Yes, I believe that we might be able to use the signature cut-out
again,
though he will probably have set up some kind of proof against it or a trap to
catch the unwary. To actually rid the deck of the signature cut-out he would
have to redesign the MPCP. I don't believe that he has the knowledge to make a
deck that good, so any fooling around that he does may have hurt his
deck.]<<<<<

street
people have been looking for me and CRUSH, people who don't seem to having
anything to do with Sword of God. Also, people have been watching our house, a
fact which has kept us from going home for over a week and a half
now.]<<<<<
