>>>>>[Shadow: The defenses were designed to handle both very small(4 man)
specialist teams and very large(full corporate strike forces) units. I suspect
that a mid-sized unit, such as ours, can fit in holes too small for units, and
step around mousetraps designed to take down teams. It ain't gonna be easy, we
all have to know that, but hey, that's the way it is. Yes, I expect us to get
out alive. For we also will likely have inside help. Maybe not from the
security people, who I suspect were purged by Nicole, but from the rest of
the employees who know me and Rox and Diana. No guarantees, though.

Buzz, Solitaire designed this system. She was insane, but so fraggin smart
that she literally convinced asylum guards and doctors that she was sane, and
both aspects came out in her. She knew what she was doing, and with some 7
runners, or ex-runners, or ex-special forces, all adding their knowhow of how
to break into systems to the pot and designing stuff that they couldn't break,
the Matrix especially got REALLY nasty. Everything else is evil, but the
Matrix system is probably second only to Fuchi's HQ system. But having never
been there, I don't know, and don't wish to. Not my area of expertise.

What I had planned on originally is the following: Breaking up into three
groups, two of which split and approach main security, the third provides a
diversion. Gettin in will be the responsibility of the deckers, probably by
implanting us as a legitimate delivery or security transfer from another of
the Maxim facilities in Denver. Beyond this, I'm not sure.

However, the Phaeton may help some of us to get in by posing as corporate
agents. Maybe the third group goes in early, locates AJ and decks the sec.
system so the rest of us can get in and get him out, and then they vanish or
maybe even leave the same way they came in, since they are "official." This
assumes that they don't get their cover blown, of course.

The thing I can think to do now is to transfer ourselves to Denver so we're
findin out stuff and reconnin, etc. An advantage of the location is the crowds
of Downtown Boulder only about 8 blocks away, and the mountains that enclose
the site on 3 sides.]<<<<<
