>>>>>[ HAHAHAHAHAHA You should see the afternoon edition of the NewsNet!
It seems that my attempts to modify the Mojor Idiot's transmission to the
Interpol Extraction team worked (the copy they recieved was sans "DE was here"
and "<Insert Text>" prompts) Anyway, here's the afternoon news!

16:00:00 03-29-54 New York NewsNet

The Slaughtered Lamb Pub in Queens county was raided this afternoon by a
team of Interpol agents claiming that a group of terrorists suspected of the
bombings on Omega Island were hiding there. The Pub was severely damaged by
automatic weapon fire when the Interpol team entered and demanded the surrender
of the terrorists. One burly patron attacked the team while shouting "fraggin'
cops" and an all out riot ensued. The Interpol team responded by subduing
the rioters,causing thousands of NuYen in damages to the Pub.

The Interpol team had been acting on information supplied by the Omega
government. Their action was cleared with the UCAS government prior to the
incident. Needless to say there were no international terrorists in the
Slaughtered Lamb Pub. Interpol claims that they were assured of the validity
of the information supplied by Omega, and have promised to remember this when
dealing with the Omega Government in the future.

>>>>>[ Not funny Dark Elf. In fact I'm out of a job now, and have been
deported from Omega Island on suspicion of treason. I humbly apologize for
the threats I've made to you in the past, and bow before the better decker.
You wouldn't happed to know where a blacklisted corp decker can get work in
New York these days? ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Well Ms Warwick, asking the engineer of your deportation for a
job???
Well, needless to say Kat, you'll either run the shadows or starve, 'cause
not a single corp in NY will hire you with that on your resume. However, I do
have an extensive network of contacts, and will let you know if any jobs come
up that are your speed. If I were you, I'd find a team to work with soon, or
else you'll be a sitting duck if T. decides to snuff you! ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ My god, this is so embarassing, but well, my apartment was aboard
the
Intrepid. I don't have anywhere to stay, and my cred account is frozen.
Umm, you wouldn't know where to get some low cost housing??? ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Hmmm........<<<exec: Background_Check_DDI 3.7 : Katherine

Running...
<<< Check complete: file is Kat.txt.Z >>>

Hmm, OK you check out. I'll set you up on one condition...that you tell me
all that you know about Omega. ]<<<<<
---Dark Elf <17:32:31/03-29-54>

>>>>>[ Damm, They'll kill me if I tell anything...but...I'll do it. I
don't
know much about Tirandor's secret projects, I was just doing security measures.
Those will probably be changed by the time I reach NY. ]<<<<<
---Kat <17:33:57/03-29-54>

>>>>>[ Hmm, you never changed security signifigantly after my break ins,
so
why should they change now! Not that it will matter much anyway! Well Kat,
welcome to the world of shadows! Arrangements will be made upon your arrival.
Don't bother telling me when and where, I can find out. I bet you're a little
miffed that I have a Matrix program that sorts through DDI personnel files huh,
you'll have to do better than you have been to stay alive out here! ]<<<<<
---Dark Elf <17:37:21/03-29-54>

>>>>>[ Be advised Kat, after discussing this with DE and the rest of the
team
we've agreed to help you out. That does not mean that we trust you at all. If
we even suspect you of crossing us you're history. Believe it. ]<<<<<
---Big Jake <17:39:36/03-29-54>

>>>>>[ I'll start making arrangements for her SIN to be wiped and a new ID
established. DDI will be after her for sure, we'll have to make the trail
disappear. ]<<<<<
---Napalm <17:40:59/03-29-54>

>>>>>[ Yeah, we all know the routine, same as with Sarge, only no need for
a
new adress far far away. Let's get to it. First thing is to hack the airline
system and get her flight changed... ]<<<<<
