>>>>>>[Well, BD, we screwed the pooch this time. The truck we hijacked
is the stuff that someone has been using to kill magicians here in Seattle. And don't ask
how, but I've somehow gotten myself involved. Not just the fact that, magician-type that I
am, I'm concerned about my own and my friends' well being, but I'd like to try and set
things straight, if I can. I don't kill innocents, and I don't appreciate having a hand in
genocide. According to my sources, there was enough tox in that truck to wipe out
potentially millions of people, and I have no guarantee of the truck's possessor's good
intentions.
The other teammate that I've contacted isn't interested. She KNEW what
was in the truck and what it was going to be used for, and doesn't seem
to care, which pisses me off. At least I can say honestly that I didn't
know. I don't suppose you'd be interested in offering your help? I
understand if you say no, but I thought I'd at least warn you about the
heavy shit going down around this. Take my advice, I think this one's
pretty big. Take care.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Well, the subject line about says it all. Just thought I'd let you
know to call before you come knocking. I'm sitting on my couch with my crossbow on my lap,
and I've got watchers and sec cameras crawling everywhere. Just in case. Paranoid? Me?
Hell yeah. Probably way more worried than necessary, but better safe than dead. I don't
know exactly how deep I've gotten myself into this, or how deep it goes. Policlub?
Government? Corp? I have no idea who's behind it. But there's gonna be quite a bit about
this, mark my words. It's already all over Shadowland, AND the public news. All I know is
I'm caught in the crossfire, and I have no idea what the likelihood is that I'll get hit
by a stray shot, or someone just decides to try and shut me up. One of these days, my
moral code is going to get me cacked. And it's looking like one of those days...
Anyway, I'm hoping that things will stay clear enough to finish the
job, Jazz. But if I have to make a run for it, well, you'll know why.
I'm starting to think I should have stayed in Denver.]<<<<<

extra
pair of eyes to watch your back, let me know. I've got a couple of friends
in town that would be willing to help as well. We've all got that "your
friend is my friend" kind of thing going. Let me know what you need and it's
yours.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Toxins you say? My background check on it came up vague. But then
again I didn't think anything of it beyond it was just another jack and jet (pardon the
pun). If it is what you say it is God only help us if that stuff got out more that it
already has. As for the help you requested consider this a "personal" matter.
NOONE makes me a mass murderer-to-be and gets away with it. Say the word and we are on the
next rig there. If it comes down to it I have contacts that can "extract" you
from where your at and place you somewhere safe. I assure you all possible means for your
safety and comfort will be considered. BDInc is at your dispossal.}<<<<<

>>>>>[Getting soft, are we, BD? :> Thanks a lot for the backup, man, I
appreciate it lots. Anything I can do for you once this settles down, let me know. I owe
you one. Right now, like I said things are calm, but the minute that changes I'll give you
a call.
It's all over the news, here, and I'm pissed about it. The alst attack
was only a few blocks from my apartment. Right now, I don't see any
sitch, but I'm not gonna pretend this isn't a big deal so I'm preparing
for the worst. If Static finds out that I've turned, I just might need
all the help I can get. I'm contacting BlackFire to let him know that
we're in as far as stopping these slags is concerned.

++++FWD: Newsclip on gas attacks
++++FWD: Blackfire's post on poison gas
++++FWD: Static's private message

Static's message to me pretty much confirmed that it was the same stuff
we snatched. And the slitch knew ahead of time. I have a feeling that
once I'm back on my feet, I'm going to have to hurt someone. Quite
badly. In many painful and imaginitive ways.]<<<<<

*****Private: Jazz
>>>>>[Thanks for the help, chica. You're a stand-up friend. Right now, I'm
preparing for the worst, even though things have been quiet so far, though. Let's hope
they stay that way.
Anyway, we should get together sometime soon again to finish planning
that hit. I'd like to get it out of the way just in case I have to skip
town in a hurry. I have a friend who's offering me a safehouse if I need
it. And seeing as I was planning to move anyway, well...let's just say
I'm waiting for just one more good reason to get the hell out of this
hole sooner rather than later.]<<<<<

now? Or should I wait till things settle down? Your call, I got plenty of safety here for
me. Keep me advised.]<<<<<

>>>>>[My thoughts exactly. I would say, wait till we have a clearer grip on
the sitch. I'm pretty pissed, but Static's lack of morals is her own business, for now.
Our best bet, I think, would be to do some research on her, find out what kind of
resources she's getting backed by and who, if anyone, she works for. Then, once I'm back
on my feet and we have an idea what we're dealing with, I think we'll both go have a
little chat with her.]<<<<<
