>>>>>[Fact Rat, I'll give you service quickly. I do know drek about
cyber/bio if that's your problem, but don't expect me to culture any bio
for you. The only reference that I can give you is that whenever Gweedo
has caught a pricker in a firefight, I've patched 'im up just good enough
to get him back in the action. Just how he likes it. I also do most of
his implantation as well. Contact me at >>encrypted<<]<<<<<

job. He's also one of the best. Don't take his first offer tho

acceptable?

+++++include:still image [0.8MP]
A scruffy looking man, looking over his shoulder.
Dusty blond hair, hasn't shaved in a few days.
He's carrying a beat-up backpack; the corner of a
screamsheet is just visible. The back of his
jacket reads "Laughing Coyotes."

It's an old photo, but recognizable.]<<<<<

*Sigh.*

-- Fact Rat <22:17:43/04-08-58> (He asks for help)

-- Dr. Seuss <22:33:11/4-08-58> (He offers it)

Which of course I didn't get until after midnight. (Bad Netcom, bad! No
Mastercard for you tonight!)

Around midnight - a bit past, really - I finally finish dling naughty
pix ;) and post Rat's second cry of help...

-- Fact Rat <23:51:14/04-08-58> (He gets really grumpy and demands
help)

And it continues from there.

Much as I'd like to think the future's all grand, it seems like the
Matrix suffers the same distribution problems the Internet does (le
sigh.)

Would it be possible to retcon the posts so they appear more in order?
(Rat posts, posts again, finally gets a reply) --I mean, in the saved,
archive forms, for posterity.

>>>>>[This thing's on, right, Swift? oh...
Okay... Fast depends on how long it takes you to get to my clinic.
Discreet depends on how much noise you make getting here. I'm in South
Renton, at >>ENCRYPTED<<. Bio- and Cyberware are my specialties.

+++++Include file: satisfiedcustomers.txt

These of course are the chummers who would LET me use their handles...
Whether or not that bothers you as far as my clientel is concerned, I
don't give a frag, but if you're bleeding and have the NuYen or script to
cover it, c'mon in. Just warn me now if you're gonna want or need
magical intervention. That's extra, and I have to subcontract.]<<<<<

the offer, however. Doc Seuss may be getting in touch with you on his own, regarding
