>>>>>[Hello good sir, I have yet to hear back from you on if you are going
to available for backup on the op we discussed. I would like to have your
services available. If you do find yourself free for this coming weekend,
please contact me at LTG: 1206 (89-4566) so I might discuss with you the
operation. I look forward to hearing from you..]<<<<<

*****Private to: Ice
>>>>>[ I do apologise for not getting back to you sooner, seems the
military took particular interest in my newest aquisition, and I had to
have a fire sale. Anyways, thank you for looking into the Kile matter, I
feel assured that you will be able to deal with it, but there is one small
contigency. It would be better all round for us, if the run succeeds, with
or without Mr. Kile making it thru. There is after all the currency which
needs to be transferred from our employer. I trust your judgement in this
operation, and feel confident that your leadership will handle it well.
Please call me if there is anything you need in the way of gear and account
numbers for the trasnfer if funds. Oh and here is a bit of insurance for
you.

>>>>>[Hello one and all, first off this letter is being sent via CC: to all
the parties involved. After a bit of background checks I find myself in a
bit of an embaressment, and being a Dwarf myself, I am doubly ashamed for
stereotyping you all. Well, let me apologise once more, and greet you all
correctly. Good evening Ladies,

There that bit out of the way, let us get down to business. To Ice, Widow
and Silence, I feel I should inform you that I have aquired shall we say a
backup element to cover my investment. Please then anticipate such backup
and to not be suprised by her actions. It is only for a percaution I asure
you.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or needs]<<<<<

am
sure we can make do with the 3 of us. I will transmit a copy of the data from
the run when it it complete, and you can send payment to LTG#<<Encrypted>> at
your convienence. Gear is not an problem, as both widow and i have mroe than
enough for a job of this caliber, but you might want to confer with the 3rd
member of the team. I am not sure about her needs, if you would like i will
handle that detail, but let me know, ok?]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Very well after scanning the plans I've obtained, I have earmarked
three suitable vantage points, depending on which infiltration path the
team uses I should be able to provide cover for you 64%, 59%, 61% of the
infiltration time. These are the three 'best' infiltration paths, as
far as I can tell, although there will probably be minor differences in
your assessment (+/- 5%).

include options.map

I would like to urge you towards route A, although slightly more
difficult than the other options, for the simple fact I will be able to
cover you more effectively. I will require the following
information delivered (hard copy, do not send through the net) to a fixer
known as Champagne no later than 6 hours before the team moves, I will
be on effective 24 hour standby until I recieve this communication.

Exact planned infiltration path...
Timeline, with estimated stage times...
All emergency contingency plans... (I dont want to blow up your escape
route).
Composition and photo ID of each team member, abilities, etc. (Subtley
modified if they wish, and yes they will be destroyed)

During the run you will be able to send me emergency messages on the
following frequency.

*****Encrypted*****

Well, good luck, hopefully you wont need either it, or me.]<<<<<
