ready to roll. I can have an FRT available for their use if required.
Crawley, I want F&A to run an enhancement on the upper left grid of the
bomb view section of Thunda's post, there's something in that area, and
I want it enlarged and enhanced. The audio clip seems to indicate some
sort of machinery, at least it sounds like that to me, possibly air
condition or filtration, with something deeper running over it, see if
you can get an audio comparison with other machinery types and compare
the wave lengths if we get a match, I want to know what that machinery
is.
Second, call NITO, tell them we've had an offer of a team from ARES, and
see if they're prepared to liaise with them.
We came up blank last night, but I want to say thanks to the team, for
the hard work they put in. Looks like it's down to F&A to tell me where
this damn device is. The report from ARES confirms that the section of
canister we saw is indeed the housing of a Minuteman ICBM, they are sure
its from the top section of the missile, possibly the part immediately
below the warhead. The missile itself is way too large for Thunda to be
able to transport it anywhere without some serious vehicles, and a lot
of publicity. The warhead itself, wasn't in view in the camera shot,
but they agree it is highly unlikely that he has got hold of one. There
aren't any live nuclear weapons that are outside of deep storage within
Seattle city limits, most of them were removed or destroyed after the
fiasco earlier this century.
Right. I want most of you back out on the streets tonight, talk to
anybody that might know something, your vehicles have now been equipped
with the Grissom hardware, so you have full mobile access to essential
datastores. I want that bomb found, we're running out of time, and the
clock isn't waiting.
Kreutz, Hammond, I want you two to talk to Lone Star, pass over what
information we have concerning the drug/BTL auction that we've had wind
of, and find out what they know, also pass over the information we
acquired over the shake down, they may have some views on who is likely
to be able to afford this kind of purchase.
Barney, Charrinton, I still haven't had any feedback from forensics
regarding the bomb factory that Lynch took down, they must have some
information from that site, go up there and kick somebody's ass, I want
a report on my desk by morning. I also want the interview transcripts
taken during the interrogation of the suspects recovered from this site.
And find out what the results of the analysis were on that vehicle used
for the failed purchase of the routers.
The Tir is denying that this Cantelope character is one of theirs, and
we've yet to find a body. I should think that the body has long since
disappeared, so we may as well file that under pointless. FAO have come
up blank, as the Elven government just backpeddles and deviates, which
means, in my interpretation, somewhere in Seattle is a Tir strike team.
Anything, and I mean, anything, that is suspicious, and looks like it
may be linked to this case, must be called in. I don't want any of my
agents tangling with a Tir black ops team. We also have a growing
number of people associating with Lynch, including some members of the
Shadow community
+++++Include: Matrix.lst
Those are the people who have openly contacted Lynch in recent days, so
we can assume that they are active in the investigation. Watch out for
idiots out there on the streets people, we have a large number of
headless chickens and wannabees hurtling around Seattle at the moment,
all of them playing Lone Ranger. We can expect to start seeing corpses
lining up soon, as they start getting frustrated and take it out on
their "opposition". Lone Star already reports an increase in firefights
and casualties in some areas of Seattle. Thankfully they are well away
from the areas of our investigation, but they are beginning to put a
strain on Lone Star personnel, they are already stretched thin on the
ground now, with th increasing number of gunfights between the glory
seekers, the Star are beginning to feel the pressure. Some of their
officers have been on duty for double shifts, so when liaising with LSS
personnel, have a little patience with them, they've had as little if
not less sleep than we have. They're also under a lot of pressure, we
don't have a contract to worry about.
Marjorie, please get some air fresheners and some sort of purifying
system in here, the entire office is beginning to smell like a brawl
players changing room. Get on the phone to the contractors and find out
when they're coming in to set the equipment up.
It has been brought to my attention that a couple of other "independant"
security consultancies are becoming more involved in this case, which
boils down to the fact that there's a lot of activity crossing the
Thunda trail. This will have one of two effects, it'll destroy what
little trail there is, or highlight it in brilliant neon, I'm hoping the
latter, but let's be prepared for some serious hoofing about on this. I
also believe that other "concerned" parties have invested some manpower
as well. It means a lot of hours are taken up trying to collate this
information and try to make sure investigations don't cross paths, I
don't want any incidents arising from a lack of knowledge of who's on
the playing field. Pay particular attention to your personnel reports,
and check in regularly for updates, as we find out more about who's
involved, that information will be made available to you, so you don't
start chasing our allies up dark alleys. There's more than enough
confusion already.
Johnson, see if you can get a bearing on the lunatics who have set up
the Thunda public information boards, and get them to shut down some of
that operation, it's creating merry havoc in some areas of Seattle, and
if Thunda disappears into these areas there'll be a blood bath. Judging
by previous events, it's something he's likely to do. I dare say he'd
find it highly amusing to have Seattle's Shadowrunners kill themselves
in one glorious battle in Redmond or somewhere. I don't care how you do
it, just get some of those boards shut down. If you need extra
manpopwer, you have authorisation to utilise the resources of the Matrix
division in the Federal Building.
Agents Smith and Forcey, I want you to check through any major
contractors in the city who have recently been caled to shift heavy
equipment in the last 48 hours. It's a tall order, butwith any luck we
may be able to pin down truck movemnets and a target destination as a
likely possibility for Thunda's damn bomb.
Alright people, let's shake it.]<<<<<
