>>>>>[ Well it has sure been an interesting day. Based on the wide
range of topics covered, I think I'm going to fall back on the
recommendation handed to me. If you wanted to know what went on, you
should have been there.

I have found out through some of my eyes and ears, that Black Knight
has managed to escape the Wanderer's grasp. I think this is in part
due to putting together his trail. At the beginning of the week, he
was in Pittsburgh paying some old debts that DragonEyes had acquired
when he went after the friendly church organization two years ago.
They were all butchered, but not before it was obvious that someone
messed with their minds real good. From what I was able to garner from
a guy named 'Doc,' Archangel and some of his friends ran into the
Wanderer last night in Denver. Checking out the area they battled in,
I would say all hell broke loose. As far as I can tell, there were no
causalties asside from some drones. Massive redecorating of local
landscape though. Doc said they weren't able to bag anyone. He also
made it clear that next time, they are just going to try and kill
DragonEyes because it is already too dangerous to try and worry about
taking anyone alive.

Apparently, about 10 hours ago, one of Archangel's associates found
Black Knight. While the details aren't available as to how he escaped
(Archangel was pretty clear that he had nothing to do with it), Black
Knight is in no condition to return to the world of decking. Our guess
is that DragonEyes got a hold of him and scrambled him. *shudder*
Apparently, Black Knight's survival instinct is damn good, because the
shape he is in, its no small wonder at how he got out. They must have
underestimated him.

A truce has been worked out with Whirlwind. While I don't know the
details, it seems pretty clear that it was Shadowfox who pulled it off.
And that is all the news I have at this time. Signing off. ]<<<<<

but I hope you can put the money to good use. Thanks again, for
helping me out. (And thank you Gunner for disobeying an order!) ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ I should thank you for having the balls to rescue me like that.
And for the neat little toy you dumped in my lap. I like it a lot. A
sniper's wetdream. Now if my wife would only let me use it. ]<<<<<
