*****Internal: Gohei, Kor, Easy, Edge, Imp, Morgue
>>>>>[I have heard nothing from Edge or Imp. I want to know what they
are up to. Kor if you are not able to handle this job then maybe you
are a liability. Easy, DO NOT ever forget who is paying you. You have
been less then professional. Morgue you are too slow with your reports,
and Gohei I do not need you reminding of what I do not know about
Shadowland. Just remember that any of you can be replaced. Now earn
your Nuyen and kill Orion!]<<<<<

*****Internal: Gohei, Morgue contact points
>>>>>[I am sorry that I had to talk to the two of you that way but I
want to see what the reaction is from the rest of them. At this point
Kor, Edge, Easy, and Imp have done nothing to prove to me they are
loyal or professional. You two will have what ever you need. If you
have other runners in mind bring them. I want Orion dead first and if
the others are not loyal then they shall die next. The price for Orion
has now doubled. Kill him and waste no time. Here is my personal number
>encrypted<. Do not use Shadowland to contact me.]<<<<<

*****Internal: Mako contact point
>>>>>[I understand. It appears that we will be joined soon by some
additional help. Please realize that any action taken against Orion
will merely warn him unless we can take him with the first shot.

Is he a current threat, or is he an enemy to be carefully taken care
of when the shot presents itself? Personally, I can make a shot from
where I stand now, but if I fail, I may die in the attempt, and
you would lose an operative. If I lie in waiting for him to make a
mistake and reveal himself, then I may strike like the divine wind,
with no defense and you will have your victory.

*****Internal: Gohei contact point
>>>>>[Good. I want to know what the others are up to first then. If
they are feeding Orion information then we will have to terminate their
employment. We may begin feeding them false information to give Orion.

Take care with Orion. He will go into hiding if we miss the shot. Keep
me up to date though. At least once a day I would like to know the
group's status. Do not be afraid to make use of my influence. At this
point I will only contact you and Morgue. Mako.]<<<<<<

amount of time. This may cause me to miss a scheduled meet. I am not
in direct contact with any of the other members, but we have contact
points thoughout the city where I may get in touch with them. Please
use Morgue as a headman.

>>>>>[Mako, consider myself off the job. I haven't even been told I've
been accepted as a team-member, I have been given no information on
exactly what I'm meant to be doing, and you are alternately silent
and abusive. In short, you're an asshole.

And you *aren't* paying me. In fact you haven't paid me at all.

Unprofessional? Well, Mako, from your behaviour you have no knowlege
of what constitutes professionalism, courtesy or efficiency, and I
hardly care what one such as you thinks.]<<<<<
