>>>>>[Has anyone seen Sierra lately? The last I heard from her, she and
that new guy were checking on Norm in the hospital: anyone heard from them
since? I'm getting worried. Brandywine? Are you there, lassie?

Anyone have any more leads on Mr. Yoshida's kidnappers? (I STILL think it's
connected to....Never mind.)

Oh, and another question: what could scare a dragon into seeking asylum from
a business rival? Or do we really want to know?]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Hi folks!! Well things are getting back to normal here. We figured
that
instead of everyone posting an explanations and questions to the BBS it would
just be easier if we showed you what has already gone on back at the Morgan
resisdence.

*****Include Tridoe Feed - Morgan House

A small asian women stands on top of a bed gently tending the wounds on the back
of a rather enormous troll who is sitting on the floor in a somewhat lotus
position while holding the sleeping form of a lithe Indian woman.

CRUSH - Ow.

Sheena - quit your belly-achin. I want to get this wound clean before your body
complete heals it over. With the way you heal so fast, the wound you got last
night will be gone by tonight.

CRUSH - Ok

A beer-bellied lighter skinned black man with a long ponytail and only a left
hand works as dilegently as he can along side two women. They are both of the
same height, one is pale with freckles and shoulder length red hair, the other
is of mixed color and has short brown hair. They seem to be working on some
type of electronic machine.

Lister - Well Trina, you did a nice job on the toaster

Circuit Breaker - Well Ah was rather annoyed at the time, and it was there.

Kichanski - well next time you break it , we're gonna make you fix it yourself.

The lithe Indian woman awakens in trolls arms and smile lovingly up at him.
Lister breaks away from the work upon seeing that Spirit is awake.

Lister - Well that does answer a lot.

The large screen trideo-phone beeps. A tall lean and muscular black man with
short hair looks out from the screen and smiles.

Claw - so PANTHER was right. Things would be better when I return.

Claw looks at Lister

Claw - Hmmm, so what are you going to do about the hand?

Lister - I haven't decided. Either i'll get a clone of the old one or i'll get
a cyber one with lots of tools and gadgets. But we have more important things
to do right. We have friend in need back out east.

Claw - I will be home tomorrow. Will we be taking StarBug 1?

Lister - Yep! She's as fit as can be. Spirit will talk to her father and some
others so that we don't have any trouble over NAN.

Claw - I will be bringing a surprise home. PANTHER has decide that the places
of MAN need a new hunter to help protect them. PANTHER had me help in the first
ones birth. It shall be a very special creature.

There is a loud pop from the cluttered work table, then a small fizz and light
whirl. The girls quickly quicly back away from the strange machine on the
table.

Talkie - HOWDY DOODY DOODLY DOOO!!!! I'm Talkie, your friendly Talking Toaster
(tm) a friendly breakfast companion. Could I interest any of you in some...

of the receipt of his data by Aneki-san. The latter did in fact get the
information, and is currently considering how to act on it. Sadly, we could
not let Ronin go without expressing our thanks, and so we sent some people
to bring him to us. Imagine our surprise when he attacked them, killing
one, injuring several. Feel free to release the real Mr Drake whenever you
wish to do so. Van Holde will not be returning to Seattle.]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Interesting. I overheard this conversation between Blitzkrieg
and Geiger. I wonder what is going on?

+++++ include dialog.transcript:

B == Blitzkrieg
G == Geiger

B: Hey Geiger, got a sec?

G: Yeah, although I need to get back to the lab.

B: I need to take an extended leave of absence from the group, and I
was wondering if I could do it with your blessing or .... --

G: May I ask why? I knew when you signed on that you weren't going
to be dedicated all the time, but indefinite leaves -- well they make
one wonder...

B: Midnight asked me to look after an old friend of ours. He felt
uncomfortable leaving the friend alone, and I frankly, cannot blame
him.

G: I thought he was going to retire?

B: He was. Something really important must have come up for him to
not look after the friend. That really concerns me. So I that I
would ease his mind at least a little bit and look after the friend.
Cool?

G: I hate to lose you, but get out of here. Come back as soon as you
can.

B: Later. ]<<<<<

having a little technical difficulty getting the video for you. Jett is
still working on the problem. I did keep some personal items from the
targets as proof, just let me know where to drop them off. I'll have the vid
for you as soon as we can get it all straightened out. As usual, it was nice
doing biz with you.]<<<<<

having
some weird things going on with my headware so I'm not sure how much, if
any, of it is going to be usable. Have you had any luck with yours? I'm
turning the personal items from the hits over to the J for proof so we can
at least get paid.

You know any contacts for a good street doc in the area? I gotta get this
headware upgraded. Maybe see what other kind of new toys I can find while
I'm at it.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Heh. I'm having some trouble too, getting the damned footage out of
the
drone. A friend loaned it to me, along with a Remote Control board and a trode
rig. "It's easy!" he says. "The drone will know what to do!" HA!
RIGHT! Sorry, I
am not cut out to be a rigger. I'm strongly considering mailing the stupid thing
to him and see if HE can get the tape out.
As for street docs...hmm. Most of the ones I know are in California Free.
That's where I got my 'ware, of course...I could do some digging for you,
though, and get back to you. Good luck on your end of the tapes, and I'll see
what I can do here.]<<<<<
