Azzieland? Have you already taken the contract, looking into a
contract or looking for a contract?

BTW, Tunnel Rat, you wouldn't be the same Tunnel Rat that runs around
underground here in San Fran, would you? I wouldn't know even if I
saw you, the Tunnel Rat I know won't show his face above ground to
anybody who knows him and likes to meet in very dark, vile places....

For your sake, I hope you aren't. The bastard I'm thinking of was
suppossed to infiltrate a pair of H&K heavies for me and they still
haven't shown. If they don't magically appear on my doorstep by
day after tomorrow, I'm gonna hunt the scuzzy little flea bag down and
dig him a new tunnel....]<<<<<

>>>>>[I hope everyone reads this post, becasue what I have to say is
important. Mind you, all the data is second-hand, given to me by several
samurai friends (Facet and Duke) that decided to play merc down in
Aztlan. They went to just kill people. Not very good at subtlety are
they. But they also made top cred just doing merc work. They also
dabbled a little in gun running. Made top cred for that too. But they
had to spend almost all of it on medical expenses. And these guys are
(meta)human tanks. These guys could take on all of Seattle Lone Star, and
give them enough ammo, they would win. And Facet and Duke got their
hides skinned by the drek going on down there. Not just heavy weapons,
but magic and paranimals and stuff nobodies evr heard of before. So
unless your'e feeling extemely lucky, I wouldn't go south of the
border.]<<<<<

>>>>>[The guerillas pay good, Tunnel Rat, the problem is
getting the merchandise across the Aztec border. Things
might have changed, but as of 10 years ago the Northern
Aztec border was a real pain to break. Reagular _and_
random patrols, both by infantry and aircav. The patrols
may or may not have magical support. Nice little
suprises like monofilament streached across rivers & streams,
both above _and_ below the waterline, etc. And if you get
caught, you're in for several months of pure, unmitigated,
hell. Just thought you should know.]<<<<<

recommend it, as I have done some work south of the border myself, although
it was quite a while ago. It was hard enough then, I seriously doubt that it
got any easier. But if you decide that you really want to take the job, for a
flat fee, I'll tell you some of what I learned. It's a bit outdated, but it
should keep you alive until you can get the more recent jazz from the
vets.]<<<<<
