>>>>>[That's a good theory about MONICA being on the Intrepid, but I don't
think it works. A satellite uplink is REALLY slow and there is no way
that MONICA could do the kind of work she is doing here with that
physically slow link. Also, in checking, all of the satellite uplinks I
can find do not seem to have much more traffic on them. No, I think
MONICA is going to have to be connected to the Seattle matrix directly to
do what she is doing.

Now, as for what is in the crates that were airlifted out to the ship,
that's anybody's guess.]<<<<<

on
Thursday the 6th of May, at 6:00 at my place in Bellevue. Everybody bring a
gift, and if you like donate some money to a common pool for something really
fancy.
Weapons: You really won't need them, this neighborhood is very safe.
The guards don't like people with magic weapons, but they'll tolerate them if
I give them fair warning. There's plenty of parking space and my place is easy
to find. Call me and tell me what you're bringing; I want to try and coordinate
things so that we don't get a dozen sets of Dead Sea (tm) tupperware.
IBA: When are you going to take me out? You better hurry, because I'm
booked for much of the next month-I have a concert to go to, as well as
several "social" engagements. I know I said I wouldn't seriously date you, but
that doesn't mean we can't have fun together.
Raven: Time for me to give you some shopping lessons!
Circuit Breaker: When exactly do you want to give Nightstalker his just
reward for hanging out on Omega Island so long? You don't suppose the guys will
want us to do it at their stag party, do you? I feel safe doing it in front of
Nightstalker, but I certainly wouldn't want some of the other people around
here to see me like that.
Has anyone seen Cooper? He's disappeared again.
BTW, who's this Morph dude? He sounds like a dweeb :).]<<<<<

Harrison at the hotel I work at? Well, he, Stephanie Spielberg, and
Ms. Erin Spelling are putting together a new TV show, called
"ICbreakers". Ford's going to be a secret leader of deckers (maybe
runners), all recruited from a posh luxury high school. It'll combine
action, adventure, and corporate intrigue with teen angst, dating, the
prom, etc. And guess what! They're thinking of hiring ME as a technical
consultant. Of course, I'd rather act, but I've still got to talk to
Tori about who gets the lead female role. Anyway, I just thought I'd say
Hi to everybody again.

haven't even had time to test it properly. Too busy with the show. But now
that I'm officially 'on leave' of sorts, I bolted down to the Ikon and took
the damn thing apart.

Mathias is a modulater of sorts. It's kind of a dedicated MPCP, duplicating
the signal suppresion and control roles of a regular chip. Going by William's
description of himself, it probably kept him from getting lost in the Matrix
or floating.

When I hooked it up to my deck, it resulted in a slower speed and slowed down
graphics. Even after I took my own chip's settings down to zero modulation, it
acted erratically. This thing is no good to any of us. Maybe I'll pawn it, just
to spite the bastards.

What I can't figure out is why they don't care about the device anymore, and
just want to kill me. Maybe I know too much, but. . .I don't know anything.

I'll be hiding out for a while. Expect less contact from me. Maybe I should
run back to Seattle; I have friends there. Or maybe daddy.]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Jaez, watch out!!! Your location has been compromised!!!

I was in the Renraku system looking fro any references to you that the russian
might be tracking when I saw a non-Raku decker leaving one the nodes I had
checked on. I quickly went back to find out what he had gotten. He had found
some info on your location. I burned out of there as quick as I could after
him.

I caught up with him a few seconds later, it looked like he was mailing the
file to another source. I tried to stop the file, but thats when he saw me and
hit me from behind. It didn't get past the hardening, so I was fine, but it did
slow me down enough so that he could get in between me and the file. I started
in on him, but it was then that one of the damn wandering Raku Samurai descided
to make an appearance. Unfortunately the Sam decided to take me on first, So I
had to waste time with it first. The other decker lit out really quick, but not
before shooting me in the back again. This time it actually got through enough
to hurt me. The sam's was one of the better ones, so it took me a little while
to finish him off.

The file was long gone by then so I went searching for the decker to get info
from him, what I found was him getting trashed by another Sam that had come out
because of the alert. He was dead before I got close enough to interfere.

Becareful, they possibly know where you are now. Tell CRUSH not to worry, that
I'm ok.]<<<<<
