>>>>>[Valentine, rumor has it you're kitting up for war down there in
Haven. Given what little I know of Abbadon and the COT, sounds smart to me.

Anyway, while I know we have some major differences, we've always been able
to put that aside for the greater good. Even if, as was the case a few
weeks back, the greater good is merely to share a fine Scotch.

Since I couldn't bear to lose such a gracious party host, I'd like to make
a private donation to Haven for your defensive measures. Rumor has it
you're coming into medical supplies and the like, so use my nuYen to make
sure those medical supplies aren't needed. I'm sure you'll be able to buy
ample warding materials and the like with this transfer.

+++++transfer <healthy amount> nuYen

Let's just say I just had a nice little windfall recently. I'd give you
more, but I've got plans for tomorrow evening and I might need it.

Don't go spend it in one place and don't you go buying expensive whiskey
with it unless you intend to invite me.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Thank you very much, Dark Stranger. I appreciate the gesture. I've
already purchased most of the supplies that are available through my
contacts, and anything else will cost me about double. Unfortunately, I
don't have the time to argue with them right now. And while I have
significant personal wealth, it's not significant enough to cover all the
costs Haven is accruing currently.

I may buy a little Irish whisky with it, though, just to introduce you to
the best that Ireland has to offer. I don't expect you to change your
mind on Scotch, of course, but I think that you'll agree that this whisky
is the best Irish whisky, and better than all but the best Scotch, you've
ever drank. I'll save it for after this crisis has passed, though.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Well, for what I sent you, that little bit of Irish whiskey either
better be the whiskey of the gods or you had better be buying a crate or
two of it.

Good luck. There's damn few interesting characters around that can also
converse intelligently about whiskey *and* handle the occasional cigar
smoke accidentally blown their way without turning green.]<<<<<

what's a little more? Besides, the attack on the field trip has irritated
me.]<<<<<
