>>>>>[ Hi, chummers. While you've been busy trying to figure out who's
going to
party with whom, when your going to party, and why, I've been poking around the
Omega Island Data Fortress. I have to tell you this place is Fragging
Invincible. I've run some of the most secured systems in the world, but this
place make the Aztechnology Pyrimid and the Renraku Arcologies look like tinker
toys.

Quention and Trevor must have some contacts in Peublo, because the Omega Matrix
reminds me of that place alot. First I spent serveral days trying to get pass
one of the damn SANs. You know your in for serious work when you see Red-6
nodes, but this place has Red-10's! When I finally got lucky enough to sleaze
past one (with a GNU sleaze no less) the damn system hit me with a sculpted
reality. Hell, it was so powerful it actually tried to change my icon! Once I
fought that off, I tried to enter the next node. The bastards put a green-3
dataline junction next to it! I sent the node into overload and set off an
internal alert. I figured, "Oh, what the hell, at least I'm in," and tried to
go on. The SOB hit me with a Blaster-9 and a Trace and Burn-10! I decided to
abort and jacked myself out. Damn, I hate sculpted realities.

So if your planing on running Omega in the near future, you better have some
passkeys with you. ]<<<<<

see
how your reality filter reacts to Omega's sculpted reality. ]<<<<<
