Wizard, this is an inclusion that appeard on our boards not 20 minutes ago.
Knowing that it related to your current operations, we felt it was important
to show you it.

Enclosure, Dante Mail:

Greetings everyone. I apologize for the method I was forced to use to
get your attention, but I doubt that you will object after reading this
message completely. I am an independant decker who has been spending some time
watching the actions of several individuals and attempting to break into thier
encrypted private communications. After several weeks of effort on my part, I
can report success. Herein is a summary of thier operations:

A certain cybernetics researcher, street name Wizard, has obtained the materialsand
technological knowhow to generate an artificial body. While working for
Ares Macrotech, he was responsible largely for the Cybernetic Bodily Replacementprogram
that have produced the Enforcer police model, Gemini humaniform model,
Dragoon combat model, and other cyborgs. Upon leaving Ares after faking his
death, he re-appeared in Denver only to meet up with an escaped Ares second
generation cyborg by the name of Collussus. They traveled to Seattle where
they are currently working on a new creation, code-named Masque.

This creation is another form of cyborg, although I don't know the details of
it's construction. However, as Wizard and another street-named Harlequin have
been doing extensive testing of this new cyborg, it is guaranteed to be above
and beyond current cybernetic replacements. There have even been hints as to
its ability to avoid detection and remain undiscovered eternally due to its
advanced technology. However, so you can yourselves determine it's relative
usefullness, I have inclosed all the communications from Wizard to Harlequin
that I have decrypted. I have also decrypted and begun tracing of Harlequin's
communications as well, and will offer them up within the next week.

As to payment, while implanting this file within your systems, my frames deducted 10k
nuyen from each system affected. I believe you will find the information
valuable. When I forward the last of the documents to each of you, I will
deduct further another 10k.

Tracing this will not work, as it will only affect the frame programmed to
upload this message. And tracing funds will fail as well as they were moved
prior to this release. What you do with this information is up to you. I
suggest you follow it up as the technological edge Wizard and Harlequin have
developed is substantial.

End Enclosure:

We did a check ourselves, Wizard. It looks like Dante uploaded this into over
20 systems nationwide, including Ares. I hope your life insurance is paid
up, because teams from all over will be looking for you and Harlequin, and
they may just want Masque.

>>>>>[Im back, as if you hadnt already figured that out. I'd like to
schedule
a meeting between the two of you and two followers of Wolf from my magical
group. One is shamanic, the other is hermetic.

I was suggesting dinner, they were suggesting a couple days out to do some
soul searching. Personally, I'd like to make sure everyone is working on
the same frequency before you are allowed off by yourself with them. They are
eager to meet you and will jump whenever you have time. Please MAKE time
before you make any plans for vengence, ok, Ken? I doubt that you have
yet learned to hear the still small voice that is Wolf guiding you. Your
emotions are likely still more in control of your actions than is her
guidance for you.]<<<<<

that'll get me in trouble before I know enough to bail myself out. I know
that I'm not ready to take them on yet, and it will be quite a while before
I am. I just want to be able to do all that I can to keep something like that
from happening again. I felt so helpless. Everyone keeps saying that my magic
is going to be very strong, but it's hard to be patient when your friends are
dying around you. ]<<<<<
