long, but I had to do a lot more research and preparation than
expected. Basically, it was unsuccessful.]>>>>>

>>>>>[Well...see, the Sending didn't even connect with her so I never
got the chance to cast the spell. This could mean one of two things.
I warned you about the doll and picture being a crummy representation
of her. It's possible I just couldn't link her with the objects
because of that crumminess. Crumminess? Gad, where did that come
from? I digress. The other possibility is that she's just plain
dead. There has to be an aura to connect to for the Sending to work.

To be perfectly honest, I would say that she is probably dead.
The objects weren't as good as a drop of blood, but really could have
done the job easily.]>>>>>

>>>>>[ I think I finally have something for you. It was fraggin' hard
to find, so it took a little longer than I planned. Anyway,
there were about 60 Orks living on Whidbey Island, and they aren't
there any more. They were kinda weird, and I still don't know for
sure why they left. There are a few rumours I picked up, but I
don't know if they are true or not. See for yourself.
- "They fled because they were attacked by a policlub. I'm not sure
which one, but I might find out in a couple of days if ya want."
- "They are taking a collective cruise through the Yellow Sea. Why,
I even got a postcard form one of my friends!
+++++ Include Post.Card
I don't know when they're back, I think in about a month of two."
(I told you they were kinda wierd).
- "Some corp used the area as some test site. Unfortunalely, the Orks
were there, but the corp didn't matter that very much. I don't
know what kind of test, but I think it ain't pleasant. Probably
the newest Desert Wars Kill-Da-Enemie-Gash. Or something like that.
Some of the Orks survived the 'test' and fled to some fort. Please
pass me that bottle, will ya."
Well that's it. I know it is not much, but there were remarkably few
contacts between that Ork community and the people I know. So you
have to do with it. O yeah, I managed to get some names, about 20.

+++++ Include ListOfNames

If you really need more, I'll dig further, but I doubt I'll find more
of interest. Please let me know. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[Thanks for all the info, mate. If you want to keep looking,
it's up to you. As far as I'm concerned you've done your share, but
it wouldn't hurt if there's a possibility of finding out anything
more. If you do hear anything, just send it my way.

Get in contact with Hardwire privately for arrangement of your
payment. Thanks for your help once again. It was appreciated.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Backlash, OK, yer on the level, as far as my contacts can tell me, so
here's some of the info ya wanted. There was a group of us Orks on the
island for a while. They were pretty reclusive, so's I didn't have much
contact with em. I delivered some supplies out there a coupla times, which
was difficult, cause it ain't easy ta find a place to tie up around there.
I ended up havin ta tie up a ways away, and some of them came to haul the
supplies. The only names I know are Jim Andrews, the guy I was deliverin
to, and a couple a guys named Eric Blitz and Dennis Lamberth, who came to
haul the stuff away. There were also a couple boys there helpin out. One
was named John, I think he was Andrews' son. I'm not sure a the other
two, but I think they were Phil and Tom. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's right.
Like ah said, I only had contact myself a coupla times, but I've heard
rumors. Seems they were havin some trouble up there for a while, don't
know what exactly, then they all just disappeared. I've heard a couple
versions. Either they got fed up with whatever was givin em trouble and
just left, or they were attacked and all killed or taken away, or somethin
in between. The ones I met didn't look like the kind to run away from a
fight, so's I tend to agree with the latter theory, but I can't be sure.

One more thing. I see a lot boatin around out there, and hear more. There's
been some strange activity out on the point there, just across from where
the Orks were livin. I don't know what's goin on there, but I started hearin
about it around the time the Orks left. If yer serious about findin em, I
suggest you check it out.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Mr. Backlash, I must apologize for taking so long. It was a much
more difficult job than I had anticipated. I have confirmed that there
were 50 Orks (+/- 5) on the island. I have searched through references
to the island in all the Ork databases I could find, and have come up
with the following 32 names:

Definite Adults: Christopher Ahlers, Rudy Dominguez, Dorothy Dominguez,
Larry Allen, Dana Allen, Lance Aiken, Brian Byers, James Carney, Teri Carney,
Tim Eason, James Andrews, Tracy Ahlers, Otis Brown, Brian Byers, Cindy Byers

Probable Adults: Angela Baxter, Mary Edmonds, Dwayne Donovan, Linda Eason,
Vincent Fischer, Roy Plante, Victor Brozusky, Eric Blitz, Dennis Lamberth,
Janet Allen, Masashi Takada

Probable Children: Jonathan Andrews, Sandra Storwick, Jerome Aiken

Definite Children: Manuel Dominguez, Katherine Eason, Daniel Allen

I will continue looking, but I'm doubtful that any more names will be
found. I hope this helps.]<<<<<
