Ahh. Muuch better. As I was saying, the security at Newtype is certainly
a big improvement from last time - You get my vote as 'Most secure system
owned by a private individual who isn't filthy rich'.

Took some bad hits from that concealed Killer IC - What do you call that, the
'Purloined letter IC'? I never expected it to be there.

All in all, the biggest flaw is it's biggest advantage - Your hardware has
some severe limits when it comes to this kind of rough play, so I had to
enter with a _very_ slim deck, wich is to the advantage of the defence,
but there at the end I think you tried something like 'party ICE', is that
right? Whatever it was, as I jacked out I got the distinct impression the
node I was in crashed. Gotta watch the system load!

Have fun finding out what I did during the 5 minutes I was in undetected!
:P

Yoo-hoo! Hi there Cynthia! Miss me? I put in a 'back door' in Tobai's
mailer program - He shouldn't be able to read this. Isn't privacy great?

Now what was that you were telling me the last time, about 'Virtual being
better than real'??]<<<<<

What? You expect me to answer that kind of question under my programmer's
watchful eye? What do you think I am? Some sort of... Nevermind...

Just in case you were interested: that freeze when you jacked out was
from another peice of ICE. Tobai-sama was trying to keep you locked in,
but it didn't work and he locked the node instead. And sorry about that
smartframe. And watch your smartframe. I don't know if the Runt ICE was
succesful (you trashed it before it had a chance to return a diagnostic.
Bastard), but it tries install another peice of ICE on any smartframe
you might be running at the time. If it worked the thing may suddenly
decide to take up patricide as a hobby...

I've also taken the liberty to take a gander at that backdoor... Not bad.
But you might want to be careful with that virtual SAN. They don't work
NEARLY as well without a registered entry node (I assume you're just going
to try decking directly into NewType's CPU?) -- I assume you haven't
registered yet right? Oh well, either way. I've given it a safe node so
you shouldn't be attacked by any of NewType's ICE. Any time you want to
drop by, feel free... *wink*]<<<<<
