>>>>>[ Friends, you are correct. I have resumed my pursuit of Quention.
I have a few leads, but I will need to know the exact course of the submarine
that picked up our foemen. I suspect that Trevor has manuvered Quention and
Fung into a safe haven of his own devising. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ You got it Tommy! I know their exact time of departure, and can
get
a timestamp on their arrival in the UCAS with a little creative computing.
A records scan should give me specs on the average and maximum speeds of the
sub, and maybe get me some tracking data too. A little math and I'll be able
to tell you if they took a detour, and approximate how much of a detour it
was.

Do you have any intentions of returning to Omega? You seem to be very popular
with the locals there... ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ I do not know. All that matters is bringing my self-styled father
to
the justice he deserves, anything else is secondary at this point. ]<<<<<
-- TDH <15:45:49/04-28-54>

>>>>>[ Hey DE, I got a line on that possible Yakuza connection. My sources
tell me that large amounts of money were exchanged between the Komatsu clan,
DDI, and certain divisions of MagnaTech that were and still are owned by
Quention about one month ago, right around the time the whole Omega mess
began. I think that something is up. ]<<<<<
-- Napalm <15:48:33/04-28-54>

>>>>>[ I haven't heard anything on the streets about the Komatsu trying to
start a blood fued with Quention and his cronies. I think that they might
have compensated the Yaks for the loss of subject Alpha aka Tommy "the Dragon"
Harada. ]<<<<<
-- Big Jake <15:50:36/04-28-54>

>>>>>[ FRAG!!!! Has anyone checked to see if DDI has been buying up biotech
gear since the Omega crisis began..... ]<<<<<
-- Dark Elf <15:52:09/04-28-54>

>>>>>[ No, we were all too busy trying to figure out what the frag the
Three
wanted with a satellite launch facility... ]<<<<<
-- OddBall <15:53:04/04-28-54>

>>>>>[ Dammit! Give me a few seconds, I want to check something...

FRAG!!! The Intrepid has taken themselves off the matrix again!!!! I can't
get to their main records store!!! Searching all the other DDI branches will
take several hours. They may have gotten a DNA sample from Tommy! Who knows
what Fung could have done with it!!!! ]<<<<<
-- Dark Elf <15:56:20/04-28-54>

>>>>>[ With a genetic sample, they could decode the mutation that made
Tommy
viable! They may have already started to make another one! A few cells, or
a piece of hair is all it would take. They could have found a sample on any
of the Omega soldiers that he took down, they might have had time to do a
retake already! ]<<<<<
-- Napalm <15:59:36/04-28-54>

>>>>>[ Well, that means we'll have to double our efforts, Tommy could be in
a world of trouble if he has to face a new and improved version of himself!

There's one way to find out for sure though.....Kat, remember our talk
yesterday... ]<<<<<
-- Dark Elf <16:01:34/04-28-54>

>>>>>[ I guess I don't have much choice, you're all holding me like I was a
prisoner. I have been holding back. I saw a whole host of orders for biotech
gear when the Intrepid left New York. The new gear was supposed to be used in
conjunction with the equipment that Quention sent us from Seattle in case they
gained an opportunity to repeat Alpha Omega. The parts were on some of the
cargo ships that were sunk when they first took power. They were waiting for
a chance to either get a hold of Tommy or his DNA. Fung said he had something
special in mind, and Tirandor made a few references to paying an old debt,
and he also said something about making up for his losses... That's all I know,
you'd probably kill me now if you found out I was lying...]<<<<<
-- Kat <16:07:02/04-28-54>

>>>>>[ There there, and you said that you never got to see any of the
inside
dealings. You said you were just a system security specialist turned scapegoat
when things went bad. I'm sorry that it took this to find out the truth.
If you really want revenge on your old boss, just cooperate with us and we'll
do it right. The only other option you have is going to Seattle and asking
Mr. Yoshida if you can fire a few AVM's at the Dragon he has granted asylum.
It's your choice. ]<<<<<
