>>>>>[How trite. Sink to my level? That may be the case. But then I've
found that morality, Kovak, is a dangerous thing to have in this
business. Maybe you need that crutch as a cop, but as a shadowrunner,
things such as morality and high-brow beliefs tend to get you killed. Am
I amoral? No. I am not an assassin. I am not a kidnapper. I am not
robber or a burglar. Do I sometimes kill, or steal? Of course, I am a
shadowrunner. But I only do those things when it is part of something
greater that I actually can believe in. Do you really want to know why I
didn't take the Lone Star contract to bring you back in? Because I have
respect for Aerich. He a fine gentlemen with the potential to be an
excellent runner. But you Kovak? It makes no difference to me. You
are merely an annoyance to me, a minor glitch in an otherwise smooth
business operation. If it weren't for your friends, I would have already
sold you out. Just ponder that, and leave me alone. You are distracting
me from making more money.]<<<<<

it.

Prepare yourself because I've called you out. You pick the place and your
gravestone. I'll pick the time and the weapons.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Why keep it private Kovak? I want the shadows to see me pummle you
into the ground. I have told you several times to leave me alone, and
you don't get hurt. But still, like a unruly dog, you still taunt me
and anger me. As for the place, it would prefer somewhere in the
Barrens. That way, we shouldn't have to worry about Lone Star. As for
the weapons, I hope you have something heavier than a Super Warhawk.
Revolvers are so, retro. Perhaps you should look into purchasing a
customized Savalette Guradian with the Smasrtlink II. A beuatiful weapon
for the true professional. I hope you have your DocWagon payed up there
Kovak. I have a feeling you are going to need it. And please, Aerich,
Kor, and anyone else who is involved in your schemes, please, I ask you,
stay out of this. This is personal, between Kovak and I.]<<<<<

going to settle it the Klingon way, I'll offer to sit in as Mr. Medicine
Box for the unlcuky participant. Of course, for a small donation to my
college fund of 1,000 nuyen a piece. If you wish, I'll bring a video
camera and a couple of cheerleaders.]<<<<<

less
about a mage going through a mid-life crisis and letting fly with the
testosterone? Some of us who watch this space to see whats interesting in the
shadow community, not for see others show off how large their ego is.]<<<<<
