>>>>>[Ahhh, my little Prince Solarial, I see you have 'acquired' another
person to use as a 'bargaining chip'. I must say to you, you don't stand
a chance in hell (to use a human expression). You must be wondering who, or
should I say what I am. I'll let you find out in my own good time.
Greetings, my young friend Seraphy. Ahh, Dorian, remember me? The same
goeth for thou, Etsy, dost thou remember me?
I will warn you all, now, harm the human known as Diana, and you all
will have to deal with me. My word is my bind, and I do not fail myself.
I watched Atlantis fall and I shall watch as you fall, and I may even
participate.
Dr. Alexander (Action) Jackson, my resources and my services are
yours, if you care to use them.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Etsy, if you'd remember I tried to get both sides to negotiate, and
prevent what is now called the Domination Wars; but once I failed I did not
participate. I did not want to be part of the destruction caused by two
sides that were too powerful to destroy only one side. I even warned
both sides of the outcomes that I saw, but as you know both sides ignored
MY warnings. 'Twas a pity for many a beautiful thing perished that might
have flourished, otherwise.
When the Fifth world came, I was able to manipulate what little
mana there was to allow myself to walk the world in different guise. I
was a teacher for that time and taught many things to those humanoids in
all parts of the world. Ahhh, those were the good old days. *sigh*
But I digress.

I warn you, now, Prince Solarial, and you Etsy stop this pettiness of trying
to use others as bargaining chips, for it will only destroy all involved.
And it may get me involved against you. 'Twould be a pity, but as I did not
participate in the Domination Wars, I feel that I should participate in
aiding those in need.]<<<<<

killed
Marksanpensah for nothing more than an insult, but becoming some kind of
keeper for them is not the answer. Self-righteousness can only go so far.
Don't get me wrong, if Brimstone ever crosses my path, I'll take great
pleasure in scattering him into his component energies, but I don't go
looking for trouble.

Fraggin' Dragons. (Christ! Now I'm starting to sound like Freddy. Ugh!

believes he has too much talent to allow it to just be wasted by his death,
and I am inclined to agree. Please think before you move against Brimstone.
If we are not careful, we could push Teutone completely over the edge, and
beyond all help. ]<<<<<

those
<REMOVED> stamps. And, thanks for the info on AlexandriaN. I'm cutting
him in on everything now, so if he's working for Aztlan at the moment
I'm lightly screwed. Risks of the job, I guess, but then he knows that if
he sells me out I'll make sure the world and her husband know it:
career limiting, for a man in his line of work.

I've just extracted a hot tip, which I shared around as the distribution list
indicates: this might need subtlety to investigate. That means I might not be
the best man for the job <g>.

Any offers of help gratefully accepted. As for your offer to help fund the
operation, I'm fronting anything I pull. Once we're done, we'll show you
what we spent, discuss relative benefits, and place faith in your sense of
fairness <g>

I actually like dealing with Dragons: they take a long-term view that makes
them much more rational most of the time. Or maybe I'm just crazy.]<<<<<
