>>>>>[ Okay, how's this mister SysOpus-in-Waiting: We've got cred from
a local fixer called Lysander. He's been in Seattle for the past year
or two and Johnsoned a few runs. He knew us from the UK. Is that good
enough, or does Gabriel have to do something obscene to you?]<<<<<

Of course there's one of me. And we will meet someday, I swear. But
I still have security to think about and I'm still getting the new
offices in shape. I used to be an "independent Matrix consultant" too,
but the fast life didn't agree with me, y'know?

of artificial intelligences? you 'runners are too paranoid.]<<<<<

but Wales does not have "toxic valleys." Plenty of empty coal mines and slate
pits, which aren't really healthy on the aura, but if you want "toxic
