>>>>>[It has come to our attention that certain seditious trideo footage
featuring eight foreign sabatuers in "dragon armor" has been aired at this
particular node, referred to as "Shadowland." We are prepared to offer a
substantial reward for information that would lead to the capture of these
traitors to the state of Aztlan.
Any and all information that can be confirmed, or that will lead to
their capture, will be generously be rewarded.
I thank you, on the behalf of the people of Aztlan, for your
assistance.]<<<<<

*****NOT TO: Thunda
>>>>>[Hopefully this will get some results. I snagged a copy from the
tap I put on their 'phone line.

They put a price on my head - only ten grand, the pikers - but they're
taking my threat about as seriously as I could expect: they put the word
out, and some action may follow. They also, for reasons known only to
themselves, decided not to report this particular incident to the
authorities. Strange, that.

It appears he doesn't operate under direct sanction of that particular
Humanis branch, anyway.

The picture shivers into life and the sound track begins in mid-shout.

"-gun down! I said-" A short burst of automatic gunfire, and several
screams.

"No, thank you." A female voice, Tarislar accented, as the camera swings
around a room - half-full of frightened humans, most crouched on the
floor behind their chairs. Some sort of meeting was obviously underway,
and has been rudely interrupted by the platinum-blonde Elven girl
holding the old CAR-15.

"A charmer called Thunda is killing metahumans. He, she or it's killed
seventy so far. Thunda spouts your garbage-" the Elf points the carbine
at one man, who was reaching surreptitiously into his jacket, and the
man raises his hands - "and so I'm giving you twenty-four hours to
deliver this person, since he's one of yours."

"Or what? You'll kill us?" asks one.

"Not quite. I'll just kill a Humanis member for every meta Thunda
claims, match him one for one. You get my drift? Maybe he's trying to
start a race war, in which case you'd better stop him fast. Or maybe
he's just a happy maniac with his first Ingram, in which case you'd
better stop him fast. Either way, you'd better stop him fast."

"You're bluffing." says one of the people on the floor. Easy points the
CAR-15 and fires a short burst to an accompaniment of screams.

"Anyone else think I'm bluffing? That makes six to me. I still have
sixty-four to go. And believe me, that guy got off lightly compared to
Thunda's work. Put the word around and reel Thunda in. Fast."
