"...And as reports continue to filter in, it appears that Maxim has been
the target of more bombings in the last couple of days. The largest
group being on Wednesday, as random holdings in Denver, Seattle, Chicago
and even Portland were hit. Maxim has been tight-lipped about releasing
any information regarding the bombing, as well the Tir government with
regards to the Portland incident. More follows..."

That's all I was able to get. I still haven't been able to figure
out who at UCAS-Seattle could pull something like this off the air.

Until next time, kiddies]<<<<<

"Hello?"

Trish, you look like hell.

"Well, I feel just above that right now. What did you want?"

guerilla band? Are they ready to die for this, too.

"It's part of the territory. They all agreed to do this because of debts
owed to Caine. As for me.... I was there. I saw the look on that
slitch's face when she killed him. I don't care what his motivations
were for letting her."

What about Ripley? And the others who were there?

"What about them?"

Did you stop to think how your actions might affect them? I've heard

business, Major. You live until you die. But here's something for you
to chew on for a while...
