Hidely ho there, everyone! This is Charlie Fingers with the local news.

Late last night, several unknown individuals ambushed and hijacked a
tanker truck hauling liquified radioactive Tritium from Gaiatronics
headquarters in Seattle to thier fusion power facility out on the Olympic
Pennunsula. No-one was harmed, but the company had this to say about the
hijacking:

"Whoever took that truck was well prepared, but also very professional.
They performed in a manner far removed from the terrorist attack on the
Redmond Nuclear Plant. The four individuals successfully drew off the
escorts and then later called to tell Lone Star and Gaiatronics where the
two individuals who were driving the hijacked truck were located. When
the driver and partner were found, they were bound and gagged, but
otherwise in good health and spirits."

Lone Star refused to comment on the hijacking and theft pending further
investigation. They did say, however, that the truck had not been
recovered yet.....

sealed in lined containers to limit chance of detection, but nevertheless
the containers and transport vehicles should be destroyed upon arrival in
A-M. We will be tracking them through the entire trip and we have
escorts as well. The final shipment should arrive in 2 weeks.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Is it just my imagination, or are all of these episodes linked in
some
way? Far too coincidental. But who would be stealing nuclear equipment and
fuel?

Okay, lots of people. But who could pull it off? Definitely not
shadowrunners, or a terrorist organization. Has to be corporate. The Big 8
probably all ready have nuke capabilities. Maybe a second-tier corp trying
to bust into the Big 8? There's too damn many of those to even know where to
start looking. But if anyone has any interest in this, or Haven (which has
to be connected), I would suggest starting to look there, at second-tier
corps.

All right, enough free-association. Time to let loose the hounds and do the
real hunting, right?]<<<<<

Second, about the trucks, etc. I think you under-estimate the

>>>>>[Shade, no, I am not underestimating the talent level of this node.
There are a lot of professionals, and a lot of pretenders. What I am saying
is that the serious of "nuclear" hits are all too smooth, too coincidental,
too professional to have been shadowrunners. There are only a few shadow
teams that could have pulled those stunts off, and I have no reason to
believe any of them did it.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Stranger, I concur. I was involved in stopping a nuclear attack on
the
Ork Undergound, specifically the area underneath the Renraku Arcology. It
was conducted by the Fist of Five (a Humanis type organization with CAS
backing). Not one single group of 'Runners have the resources necessary to
conduct these types of raids. They would need to have corporate or
government backing.]<<<<<

I know for a fact that at least one of the hits was done by a group of
shadowrunners. I know a couple of the runners involved personally. But
for the others, I cannot vouch either way.]<<<<<

surprised.... Too bad that they mirrorshades, gloves, and Hyper
poisoning are all circumstantial. But they do fit your MO so well, don't
they? Say hello to everyone for me when you see them. With any luck,
I'll be crashing the party.]<<<<<

At least not while Moriarity and I ran them. I could never stomach the
level of destruction they could cause. Velli, though? It's up her
