>>>>>[Aaaahhh, beautiful Barbados. Wish you were here! Too bad I
gotta wear fraggin' 200 sunblock or turn into a lobster. Anyway, I'm
not going to release details or specifics of the Matrix action, but
I'll give a quick play-by-play.

We broke the planning session at Little Havanna around 1630. We
decided that Basilisk would hit Lone Star's computer at the same time
Spark and Tech entered Fort Lewis'. That way, nobody would have time
to alert the other that there was a security breach involving Jac, if
somebody got caught with their cyberpaws on something about him.

We all disappeared towards our respective targets: Basilisk to Lone
Star, Aarvark to Basilisk's deck, Tech and Spark to Fort Lewis and
I hung around the LTG SAN that serves Fort Lewis.

I guess Basilisk's work was uneventful, he didn't talk much about it
and I don't have access to his Matrix logs. Anyway, he produced. We
got conformation of everything that Spark and Tech found, so there
was actually good communication between two gubment branches!

Tech and Spark slipped into Fort Lewis using dummy accounts:
Private Parts and Major Woody! They had a couple of close calls, but
did good work. They got Jac's condition, location and a times
regarding his trial. They even got out with no fuss.

I'll say one thing, these kids earned there money on this op. This
is how its done, slip in, slip out and nobody's the wiser. The
fraggin' Ghost in the Machine.

Well, we got it all. All of the intelligence we needed was
there, ripe for the plucking, and did we ever pluck it. We got great
details on the security detail - how many, what they carrried, hell,
even who they were.

So we all scurried back to Little Havanna to sort and plot. It was a
very profitable action altogether. Fraggin' A boys! If yer ever in
San Fran and need anything, my door's open.

I'd post the physical part of the action now, but I can't find
Magikthize. He was viding the whole thing through headware.
'Course to post it I need his head to download the pics. I
can't blame him though, whatever we saw really shook him up. I
just sobered up as a matter of fact myself. But then somebody
forced a pot of extremely black soy-caf down my throat about a
half hour ago and the caffeine is the only thing keeping me
alive, right now.

Before I go puke:
We got Jac out in pretty good shape. The 'Guard doctors just
gave up and unplugged his sensory interface so he wouldn't get
all of those weird impulses every time he woke up. Now he's
blind and deaf, so we just send all of the ugly women his way.
I'm damn glad I made everybody learn Morse code so we can talk
to him. Basically he wants to thank everybody and drinks are
on him when he gets back to town. Of course he owes me
something like 850 K =Y= to pay for the extraction and to cover
his bills.....

BEGIN ENCRYPT:
***** Private: Couple of Eggs Short of a Dozen
Jasmine, tell me that whatever we saw beating the holy crap out
of those security guards really were Wyrd Mantises (Manitisi??) that
turned on their handlers like Avatar suggested. I figured that
you should know more about those kind of critters that any body
else that saw them. I'm worried that Mantis spirits really ARE
chasing Jac and we just happened to grab him before they could.

I talked to a voodoo houdoun (or something) down here and he says
that if they've tried to kill Jac before and not succeeded, but then
tried again, they are just out for him in some crazy single-minded
thing. If they are, then we don't think any of you are at risk,
because Jac's here with us.

Please get back to me, and watch out everybody, just in case.]<<<<<
