Sorry about my posting D. to SHADOWTK instead of SHADOWRN I must have
made a mistake when writing the nickname of the To: field I thought it
did go to SHADOWRN.

Well just chalk it up to CMS system Newbie

thanks for not flaming

>>>>>[ Aww. I'm feeling all mushy. Death is my _hero_. It looks
like he has lived up to his reputation again. The primary target
base was taken out, and the military tried to shoot down the fleeing
runners. Using magic apparently, the our _noble_ friends took out
two choppers and got away. I'm still working on footage for the
whole mess.

A few hours later, someone in the government issued warrants for the
Wanderer and DragonEyes. I doubt it is a coincidence. I'm also
going to dig to see who issued the warrants and see if we can find
out more of what is going on. I hope the slobs make it challenging
this time.]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Don't get cocky, Ratspeak.

The Wanderer getting spotted is not a surprise. Those knives he
carries are a pretty good calling card. DragonEyes getting noticed
confirms my suspicions. I think we have a mage on the loose who
Pestilence dislikes and this person has strings on the inside. We
should be highly concerned and careful.

Obviously, I need more reliable information as you get it. In the
meantime, I'll try to get some time with the Director. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ There are two individuals I want dead (with reasonable proof
provided that they are indeed dead). I will pay for reasonable
expenses, although you are your own if you get into legal troubles or
heaven forbid, if they catch wind of you and retaliate.

I will pay >>encrypted<< for the shaman to be killed, and
>>encrypted<< for the mercenary. The second one is lower because I
suspect that the government rewards are greater for him. I will pay
a fifth beforehand to show my good faith.

If you succeed, I will take 10% of the bounty rewards as a finder
fee, and pass the rest on to you. I will decrease my finder's fee if
you are quick about killing them.

Still interested? If so, I can provide a last known location, which
will unfortunately be two days old. I can also provide my
speculation as to where they might go, but it is only my guess and I
don't know if it is accurate. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Glad to hear it. Here's the advance:

+++++ transfer nuYen.

The targets are DragonEyes, a snake shaman, and the Wanderer. The
Wanderer is a hood with enough outstanding warrants in both Europe
and UCAS to make him a very lucrative target. I last heard they were
near >>encrypted<<. They were seen traveling southeast from there.
I think they might be headed toward >>encrypted<< but I could be
wrong. If they aren't there, you might want to be careful in that
area as the local residents are mighty touchy about their privacy.

Good luck. ]<<<<<

Sharpe and Faerie were the same person... it was my fault. A while back, I
was approached by a strange group of individuals who support metahuman
rights and wanted me to join their magic group. I think they wanted
Kristling too, at least we happened to run into each other connected to
this group - TAROT I think they called themselves. Anyway, according to
Kristling, at some point I mentioned you by the name Sharpe, and Krist
asked who Sharpe was, and I said something about "used to be Faerie". I
don't remember this at all, but I suppose I wouldn't, this was just after
I'd summoned a pretty damn big spirit and I was kind of punch-drunk. I met
him this morning and we discussed it and he agreed to keep it quiet, since
he doesn't really care either way.]<<<<<
