have LAPD after us, Touchflower productions private security force, half
the media, and a whole host of angry fans. How do we manage to get
ourselves into such mess eh ? And to top it off we still haven't mangaged
to get to Kentucky. Talking of which I wanna know how he will explain this
to Marie's manager. I checked out the recording of the incident, it seems
he was no where around when it happened. Some body guard eh ? ]<<<<<
-I.B.A. (**:**:**/**.**.**)
>>>>>[ Yeah I agree which is why I think Kentucky is in on this somehow.
The fact that those people who kidnapped Marie looked so like us has to be
either his or Krull's doing (the one who looked like you I.B.A. even had
your beer gut). My theory is that Kentucky arranged the whole thing with
Krull to get us off his backs. But why go and kidnap Marie to do it ? The
vampire gangs were working pretty well, well at least till I got that info
from Morisson. By kidnapping Marie he was seriously endangering his
contract and reputation not to mention setting himself up for lawsuits
(though I doubt that would bother him). He must have another reason,
probably taking the contract as Marie's bodyguard was only so he could have
her kidnapped. If you think about it, it makes sense. As her bodyguard he
is entirely responsible for her personal security and can also advise
Touchflower's security managers as to how many and where security guards
are placed. With this knowledge he can tell any kidnap team as to when and
where to place their attack. All in all if Kentucky wanted to kidnap or
have Marie kidnapped he couldn't have thought of a better method, and by
having the extraction team look like us he temporarily gets off his tail.
This is getting messier and messier as it goes on. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ It's all very vell and goot discussing Kentucky's veasons but da
simple fact is dat ve have to get out of LA quick. Either dat or find this
Marie and da people who took her. We are in a city where ve have no
friends and no contacts, I saw da manager of da coffin hotel vatching the
trid newsreports, I think he may ave recognised us. As a precaution I
slotted im van of do'se, experimental BTL chips ve got our ands on, den
vickly booked ourselves out. By da time e's found e vill be so convinced
that e is George Vashington, dat no van will get any sense out of im for a
long time. I've stored our gear in a safe place meet, at the normal place
and ve can work out vat to do next. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Guys get this, I just saw the trid news. It seems that Touchflower
held a news conference to try to explain to anxious fans out there that
they are doing everything possible to recover Marie Cerc. They also made
it clear who they thought was responsible, they even named us !!! And get
this, their reason.
**
Neil Longthorn: Earlier today Touchflower productions help a press
conference to explain what they are doing about the recent abduction of
Marie Cerc. They assured fans that she will be ok and able to continue
with her new sim 'Dark Sceptre'.
[Screen changes to the press conference]
Spokeswoman: We have reason to believe that Miss Cerc was kidnapped to
discredit and draw into the open Miss Cerc's private bodyguard. We have it
on very good authority that they came to LA with this as their express
purpose and when they couldn't see the said bodyguard they took Miss Cerc
instead in an effort to get Miss Cerc's bodyguard to come to them. We are
told by Miss Cerc's bodyguard that it is unlikely that these people will
harm her person. We are also offering a 500 000 Y reward for any
information leading to Miss Cerc's recovery. Or to the location of the
said perputators.
Reporter: How can you be so sure that there is no threat to Marie's life ?
Spokeswoman: Well we don't know for certain, but as we have recieved no
ransom demands, as yet, so we are inclined to agree with Miss Cerc's
bodyguard on the matter. He has told us that these type of people normally
have an honour code of sorts that they will not break from. He is heading
our hunt for her in the hope that the kidnappers will show their hand with
him on the case.
Reporter: Do you know the reason that the kidnappers want to kill Miss
Cerc's bodyguard for ?
Spokeswoman: Yes we do but cannot comment on it at this time. However it
does relate to crimes committed by these people in the Seattle Metroplex.
Reporter: Do you often employ bodyguards whose past lives come looking for
them ? For surely this must place other stars at risk ?
Spokeswoman: Miss Cerc's bodyguard was privately hired ny her personal
manager. We have no control over the matter. Stars who are directly
employed by us are assigned personal protection of the highest caliber. We
normally take ex military or ex police personnel and have their backgrounds
checked out very thoroughly.
[screen changes back to the studio]
Neil Longthorn: LAPD have been taking calls all day scince the reward was
announced but so far there has been no positive sightings of the abductors.
On a lighter note Touchflower have set up a special number that worried
fans can call for further reassurance if they need it <LTG-CAL-MARIE-CERC>.
Now over to Angela who has the latest on the Omega Island dispute.

What a cheek. Now we have every street bum in LA ready to turn us in if
they see us. But at least Touchflower never came right out and supported
Kentucky. Guys we have to meet and meet real soon. The normal place, I
can't risk encoded messages at the moment. ]<<<<<
-The Powerhouse (13:33:45/21.4.54)
>>>>>[ Well Powerhouse and friends and old comrade in arms Captain Nigel
Wicombe, though I gather you are going by the name Punisher these days, you
are fools. All of you are fools if you thought you could kill me. Now I
have done what I came to LA to do and got rid of you in the process. Life
can be so rewarding at times don't you think. ]<<<<<
-Kentucky (Succors)
>>>>>[ Got a trace seems Kentucky is learning a few tricks in his old age,
he actually routed the signal before he transmitted it. I didn't fall for
that old trick though. Though the signal did come through a sat link so I
couldn't get a definate location for him. He is will you be pleased to
know still in LA. I suspect he must have linked up with Krull to get
access to a sat link up. Either that or he has hooked directly into
Touchflower's broadcasting station to send us that little message. ]<<<<<
-I.B.A. (**:**:**/**.**.**)
>>>>>[ Yes I heard that decking was a hobby of his when he was in the
airforce. He made some changes to one of the simulator programs that
greatly impoved it's realism seamingly. See you guys at the meet in 2
hours. I just want to finish interrogating this street punk I've got tied
up here. Seems he has heard of Krull, trouble is he doesn't want to tell
me where he has heard of him. How anti-social, I guess I'll have to blow
off his other knee cap if he doesn't start talking real soon. ]<<<<<
