>>>>>[Any of you lads or lasses ever hear of a Katana Industries?
They're based in the UK, but have offices all over. A countryman hired
me to take a look at their files, and I found something...interesting.
I'm not sure what to make of it, so I'll throw it out to all the experts
of the net.

Evidentally these people are working on an artificial HMHVV virus. I
ran across some records of their tests, but couldn't see the latest
results. I got as far as test three, which resulted in the death of
a dwarf, male, when some wiered ice initiated both a trace and some
sort of tar-baby program that started screwing with my active e memory.
I jacked out before it could do any serious damage, and gave my
employer what info I had gotten. But I was bothered enough by what I
had seen to bring the subject up for discussion.

So, all you people with the bonnie brains (and egos to match!), tell me;
should we worry about a crop-er, corp-produced virus, dealing with a
magical (?) disease? Or is Katana just pouring money down the
drain?]<<<<<

I wish to join my wife in death, though my own nature has kept me from
rejoining her. If I do not die then you won't be hearing from me for quite
some time.]<<<<<
