since I unloaded a quarter-trillion worth of fake cash onto Sri Lanka's
failing economy. No malice intended? Bulldung, squared and cubed.
Right now you can't prove that MilTech even .existed. -- your hardcopies
are gone, fucking .Geneva. won't back you up. (Good moves, there,
Solitaire -- you shouldn't flatline so much, though. Work on your
Sleaze and Deception.) Fucking halfwit.... I'm tempted to go reassign
you to another case.
Next time I see you on the .net, I'm coming through Interpol and
dropping a couple of my 'Stonewall' and 'Nightwraith' IC constructs
around. Ever hear of what 'invaded' the NYC Matrix, 'bout three years
back? Little Stonewall MBTs, toasted six 'NYPD' deckers and a large
number of other 'independants' before they were brought under control?
I needed a distraction.
Come to think of it, Interpol's been getting kind of uppity. You know,
I think they could use a good core dump and rewrite....Oh, by the way --
have you gotten rid of your Wyrm problem yet? *laugh*]<<<<<

**on the Wyrm Ouroboros and his stuff
you might care to take a look at; I understand his Wyrm-I has been
eliminating any information regarding him in your files for quite some
time. The following is from some bits and pieces I've been able to pick
off various Shadowlands -- seems that for a short time, he sold some of
his stuff.

Program Frames
'Wyrm'-Series: I -- Data Elimination; a classic tapeworm program.
II -- The famous 'Wyrmkiller'; keyed to destroy other
of the 'Wyrm' line.
(Note -- there are at least five different ones in the Wyrm line --
these are the only two I've been able to get any info on.)
I: Description: Looks like a well-defined miniature variant of the Wyrm
himself -- perhaps a bit sleeker for the size (and the sleaze).
Usually given a specific class of information to seek in a given
datafile (or region of datastores) and then sent to clear out
said region. Has unique capability (among the Wyrm programs) to
be able to take hold of the hogged data and reconstruct a carbon
copy of itself.
II: Description: A needle-thin Wyrm, this one is designed to seek out and
destroy any of the other four -- and use their bodies, much like
an actual Virus, to replicate and hunt down others. They are
strongly confined to specific systems, and programmed to self-
destruct if they stray outside of their set boundaries.
Constructs:
Stonewall: Type: Hard Expert
IC Content: Black, Blaster, Killer(P/D), Acid, Binder
Description: Rumor has it that the builder took actual running data
about the CAS Stonewall MBT and used it with an eye towards the
sheer terror of a few hundred tons of steel and weapon bearing
down upon you. In muted greys and blacks, this drekker packs a
hell of a wallop -- if you're not burned by it, your deck just
might be. Notably smarter than normal IC, as well.
NightWraith: Type: Shifting
IC Content: Trace and Burn, Jammer, Marker, Binder, Black
Description: With the Black almost (almost!) seeming to be added on
almost as an afterthought and resting under the main body of the
Nightwraith-modeled jet, the mottled grey fighter is disgust-
ingly smooth and quiet when operating. The Trace'n'Burn seems
to catch you before you even know it's there, with the Jammer,
Marker, and Binder working your persona on its way down. Try
throwing something -- anything -- to bring the thing down, and
the Black will eye you with hopes of getting into the picture.

So.... any of this of value to you?]<<<<<

The illegal system accesser known as 'The Cockroach' was found dead
today, apparently of Matrix-related consequences. There are no suspects
current in the death, although it is somewhat obvious that he was
engaged in illegal activities, considering the tap that was found in
what is colloquially referred to as his 'squat'. Time of death has been
approximated to shortly after one-thirty this morning. No investigation
will be forthcoming.]<<<<<
