NB, find him or at least find who disappeared him. You have whatever you
need to make this happen as quickly as possible. If the two of you cannot
work together on this, at least dont get in each other's ways. Scourge is
a good friend of mine and I do not wish to see harm come to him.

Sorry for the deck change, Chris, mine was a little hot. Picked this up
while I was in a country I never visited.]<<<<<

will take me out of the picture for a while.

A friend, also an employee at Ares, was recently kidnapped from work and
evidence is pointed at it being an inside job. As you all know, Ares is picking
up a lot of our training and our expenses (as much for their benefit as
ours, don't get lulled into thinking they are doing this as a favor) and
because of this I am a little reluctant to stage an all out fact finding
mission against them. Wether this is part of a bigger plan or not
is still unknown to me.

I do not wish to involve any of you in this but if you want to help, I will
not turn it down.

Things that need people to look into them / deal with them:

DragonEyes, another good friend of mine, is still missing. Rumor has it
that he is somewhere in the Seattle area but Ill be damned if I can get a
bearing on him. He used to carry a spell lock of mine that I used to
track him around but it seems that he has had to dump it some time ago (it
was being worn by some hooker in uptown when I last tracked it down) so
now I have no leads.

+++++ Include: DE pictures
+++++ Include: DE profile

He's a healer. Thats what he does. So much so that he tends to use that as
an excuse to run away from himself. I really could use someone's assistance in
tracking him down. He is hot property and is likely to be being tailed by
(if I know DE, no less than 20 others all looking to cash in on his hoop) a
"few" interested parties. Names and occupations currently unavailable. If you
find him, dont approach him. He might seriously panic and no amount of talking
will get him back after that. Check the streets around the multitude of rual
areas in Seattle. See if anyone has any reports of a drifter or someone
matching DE's description.

We need someone to drum up some more business for us.

Ill be back from here as soon as I can. Thanks, guys. You are better than a
family.]<<<<<

>>>>>[My apologies Jason. Perhaps I should have let you know ahead of
time.
I have spent the last three and a half months, well, let's just say I have
learned much about magic and how we _think_ it works. I have found a new
enemy, far greater than any corporation, far greater than the Invae. I have
found allies that know more than all of humanity combined, and are willing to
share tidbits of that knowledge, for which I am grateful.

Perhaps you are right. The Whistler is dead, and all that he stood for,
is dead. Perhaps I should adopt a new "nom de guerre" to reflect my new
life, and my new role in this universe.

I have much to tell you. Where can I find you? Are you still working
with Mr. Frypp in SF?]<<<<<
