First things first though, I know that this is a bit late, but part of
the delay was to make sure I had no more tracers sniffing at me and that
nobody would connect me and the info to you. The other part was because
_I_ always do a thorough job, and I wanted to get you everything I
could. Also, you aren't my only customer, and what with the holiday
rush and all.... Okay, a bit of it was my S/O gave me her sweetest
"take me to ######## for X-mas and I'll ^#$% your cybernetically
enhanced brains-out."
You get the picture: Been busy.
So, let's call any late penalty you may be thinking of equal to the
bonus fee for this job being a bit of a ball-breaker, and say we're even
when you cough up the original fee, which I believe we set at
>>ammount<<.
Now about them tracers.... _Somebody_ went through some trouble to
"erase" you. Looks like they had resources, but probably were more
interested in getting the job done fast than done right, so I did manage
to pick up a few data-strands here and there. My hounds also managed to
pick up a few tails that weren't standard equipment, shall we say. I
managed to get what data I could and double-check to "disinfect" it from
any digi-bugs. Only real trouble I had was probing "your" SIN. (Good
quality, but I doubt it's a real one. Who in the Shadows would have,
use, or even want a real one?) Some hot tracer IC on that. Luckily, I
had a friend w/me and we scragged the first screamer and were able to
punch the hell out before some of its N+1 buddies were able to sink
their photons into us.
Which is not to say I've got nothing. Lessee...for a taste: while
thumbing through some CAS APBs, I happened upon someone with your face.

(That you? I think so. My machine thinks 98.4% probable, but time can
change a face.)
Attatched to it was that this person was wanted in connection with a
murder, possibly of magical execution (pun intended). That set off a
few bells and whistles. A few more because the files I dug up relating
to it look like some tapeworms had a real picnic. I managed to
unscramble a bit of the stuff that got chewed on, but chunks of it were
just erased. My guess, the worms got busy but were innoculated by the
CopNet deckers before they got done. The name: Thomas Anderson mean
anything to you? If I read between the garble, I think the guy may have
been an accomplice or associate. Dunno.
'Course if I was keeping up my membership to the Oliver Stone Memorial
Institute for Advanced Conspiratorial Theory, I'd suggest you may not be
the person in the photo, just a poor mindwiped sod with their face
nano-stitched or magiked on...but hey, you didn't pay me to wax
philosophical.
I've got more data, of course. However, there is that little matter of
payment. Authorize the cred transfer to >>account<<, I'll send you all
the files I collected, plus my in-depth analysis, all part of my usual
excellent service.
Oh yeah...Happy New Year, whomever you may be.]<<<<<
