>>>>>[ I'm glad you made it out ok Jaez, I'm just sorry that my trace of
Kurgan/FUK's message did not arrive in time to keep him from capturing you.
I don't blame you for thinking me a "peeping Elf", but I swear on my honor, and
on my deck that I did not access your security cameras. My trace was wholly
based on analysis of transaction logs of the nodes along the path. I am quite
confident of my in Matrix skills, and rarely have to resort to such base means
as a security camera scan (except for that time on the Intrepid)

Wytchwind, you don't know the address for Haven?!? It is usually not policy to
give out it's Matrix location on the nets, but I'll make an exception in your
case. It is <<encyption DE-gamma_cypher_3.3>>. If you wish to come to NY,
just let me know what day you will be arriving and a cursory scan of flight
reservations will give me the rest. I can have OddBall pick you up, but (no
offense intended) for security resons you'll be blindfolded until you reach my
"headquarters". This may seem paranoid, but we have never met and you could be
an agent of one of my enemies (DDI, Quention, etc...) so I will use full
security measures until I know for sure.

Doom, since it seems that you have decided to accept my request for info on the
european aspects of the Quention/Trevor conspiracy, I'd suggest starting with
the plant in Copenhagen. Good luck my friend!

Kurgen: You have crossed the line! Your insults to my abilities and my chosen
mission are quite amusing. Every other decker on this BBS seems to understand
just how capable I am, except for you. If I were not tied up in the MagnaTech
case I would take a trip out to Seattle and show you the error of your ways.
You are the most arrogant person I have ever heard of with the possible
exception of Mr. Quention. Please come to NY, I'd love to cut you down to a
more fitting size. The fate that I could give you would be so much worse than
death! In the meantime, I'd be looking over my shoulder in the Matrix if I
were you. The MONICA incident gave me such wonderful insights into the more
intricate aspects of smartframe design. I will harass you as much as possible
until Highlander is released. Do not push me to take direct action against
you, it wouldn't be pretty. <*.*.Z> ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Wow DE, that was a pretty calm and composed response. I'm suprised
you
didn't just blow up at him like you did when Quention said we were a two-bit
team! ]<<<<<
---OddBall <13:07:17/08-03-54>

>>>>>[ True, but I did encode a smartframe into that message keyed on
Kurgen's
MPCP signature. It's a new variation on some of the "roman soldiers" that I
used against MONICA. It should prove to be a thorn in our arrogant friend's
side HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ]<<<<<
---Dark Elf <13:10:15/03-08-54>

>>>>>[ The information I said I would have for you is that I am now on
Omega
Island. I can send this now because Quention has discovered my infiltration.
I cannot say more at this time. ]<<<<<
---TDH <13:11:58/08-03-54>

>>>>>[ If that were anyone except Tommy, I'd be worried about them. He's
one
fragger who knows how to take care of himself, even in the enemy's stronghold!
You just gotta admire his style! ]<<<<<
---Big Jake <13:14:07/08-03-54>

>>>>>[ Things are coming to a boil again, Trevor has officially taken
control
of the new UCAS embassy on Omega, and he is there. That puts all the major
players in one place, meaning that something big is going down! I still have
no clue what it could be! Hey, has anyone heard what happened to the rest of
those transports that were en route to Omega? Did you get those sat photos
yet Wolf?? ]<<<<<
---Napalm <13:17:14/08-03-54>

>>>>>[ I haven't heard anything else. I do now know that the DDI
satellites
do more than just route messages and data conections. My analysis was cut
short by the arrival of Tirandor's Major Domo. I chose discretion over valor
though, and left her a handful of attack frames to cover my egress. I didn't
want her to figure out what I was trying to do. Oh well, I can just scrap
the new DDI passcode algorithm, no doubt they've changed it as of last night.
Thank you Tirandor for finally giving me a challenge! ]<<<<<
---Dark Elf <13:21:04/08-03-54>

>>>>>[ By the way, just to whet your curiosity Wytchwind, know that my rep
is
based very strongly on fact. See you at Haven at the <encrypted> time. Also,
send me a description of your icon so I don't have to trace MPCP sigs on every
decker in haven! ]<<<<<
