>>>>>[O'Gradie time has come for the final battle. I'll leave you the
address
tommorow night. You show at 1900 CST. I seen anyone else besides you or
Zactof, your little girl dies. BTW, hope you found your mom's body by now,
that is if you had the stomachg to go back to the farm.'

While you're at it, tell the shadow community why you became a cop, that is if
they let you speak as they throw you out. I'm sure the accredited mercanary
Bastard, THE Nexus would love to know. Think about the last group of kids who
died O'Gradie.]<<<<<

>>>>>[
Ok folks I guess it's lay down the truth time. Nex, thanks for your anwser on
the earlier matter. Whistler since you seem to think that no one is allowed
a breaking in period for the shadows, I'll leave. But I'll get my daughter
first and if that pisses you off, screw you. I'm not here for your convience,
but thanks for the advice. To those who offered services in the way of rescue,
stay out of this, but Thanks.

I stated some time ago that Martel blew up a classroom and I was injured in
that blast. That's true, I got to the door of the room just as the bomb went
off. 23 Kids, 2 Adults, plus my wife, all dead. That's why I went into Lone
Star. Also to a group known as Humanis Haters, if I had been there would
Dragonfly not have lost his arm?

Finaly thank you to all who have helped me as a beginner in the shadows. I
neve claimed to be good at it, just that I wanted to make a
difference.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Kovak, please retrieve your daughter. Nothing matters more in this
world than family. And if you can live with the possiblity of the death of
your daughter, or live with the possibility of her growing up without a
father, then fine, stay in the shadows. Otherwise, put her welfare
before anything else. That's part of what it should be to be a father.

There's no room in the shadows for mistakes. The rest of the world tends
to be a bit more forgiving. So get your daughter, give Freddy Frypp a
call, and climb into the light. I wish you, and your daughter the
best.]<<<<<

good man, with a few problems...and, _aye_ he may've made a few
shakey judgement calls...but, show me one sorry fuck 'round here,
who HASN'T, one time 'r another!

9 times outta 10, tha's wha's PUT em all here, in the FIRST place!

Hell, I'VE made PLENTY o' em! And, I've lost damn-near E'VRYTHIN
'cause o' it! My whole damn fam'ly, my home, pieces n' parts o' me...and,
more damn friends than I care ta COUNT!

Are ya sayin tha means _I_ ain't got wha' it takes, as well then!?
I sure as hell _hope_ not! 'Cause I've been runnin the Shadows, one
way r' another, fer nigh on 14 years--n' I'm _not_ tha old--I've gotta
"resume" tha spans The Mafioso, at least 12 countries, and 3 Federal
agencies, tha says otherwise! I'm doin time as a "dual-natured
bein"...and, sorry fir fer--but, the life o' the Happy SINer ain't all it's
cracked up ta be!

If Kovac's gonna leave ShadowLand...it should be 'cause _he_ wants
ta--not 'cause a buncha' bullyin, self-righteous slags like ya are givin
him "ultimatums"!

But, flattery'll get ya nowhere! It still stands, Martel! Kovac may be
new, 'round here--but, _I'm_ not...so, ya'd better hope _he_ makes
quick work o' ya! 'Cause, if _I_ get hold o' ya...ShadowLand's gonna
see how the _professionals_ do it!

Hell, right now...I'd kill ya, jus fer the _joy_ o' watchin ya _die_! Le's
jus hope yer _bright_ enough, ta return Flute in one nice, neat,
_breathin_ lil piece--'cause I dun _need_ a reason ta hurt ya! And, ya

>>>>>[Nexus, if you only took the time to actually listen to what I said,
then perhaps you wouldn't have made those irrational statements.

Sometimes, in the shadows, you can make mistakes and not pay for it with
your life. But it's not often. A "SIN-ful" life tends to be more
forgiving when you make a mistake. And Kovak needs to be even more
careful, having a daughter that he loves. No one should have to grow up
without their parents.

I have been doing some extensive research on you Nexus. Seeing as how
sanity would appear to be the thing you have the least grip on, rant and
rave all you wish. I care not, and I am not afraid of you. This may
seem odd to you, as you must be used to people being in awe of you. But
I am not. I see only a pathetically unstable boy pretending to be a
powerful man. How many children have you fathered? How many innocents
have you killed, for no good reason? How many hearts have you broken?
The only thing you deserve is pity, and I refuse to grant even that to
you.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Whistler, Nex has fathered TWO children that I know of. He
researches
the people that he has killed before he kills them, unlike our friend,
Dragon. Those two have been a little icy towards each other, since Dragon
killed that corp. exec. in front of the guy's family. You should have seen
the fight they got into over Dragon's ethics and morals. Besides, with Nex
missing you should hold your tongue.]<<<<<
