don't expect much.


+++++Include: Lynch.txt


Remember the guy mentioned in HungHi's post, Steph's father.... Well,
he's just popped up rattling on about his damn grandfather to that
Dashira pussy that Orion's trackin'. This world has suddenly got real
small. What do you want me to do? Should I mention his little girl,
and tell him what we're up to, or just ignore him, and pretend we don't
know nothin'. I'm stuck on this one and don't want to pre-empt
anything. Also going by the guys reputation, he's not necessarily going
to react in a favourable manner. I'd rather not frag around with this
dude. I'd recommend silence, the last thing we need is someone like him
monitoring us, but the final call is yours.


Anyway, I've got a frame active monitoring for anything else from this
dude.]<<<<<

Seattle, Orion has work to do... What do you mean her daddy?


Oh great. This I don't need. OK, let me think about it, can the frame
survive without you maintaining it? If not, it may be worthwhile
monitoring Lynch, and seeing if we can't gain some insight into the man,
if we can figure out where he's coming from, and what he stands for, we
may be able to use him later. Steph insists the man's clean, but then
she's biased.


I've contacted Sha in Seattle, he should be able to deal with the brat
until we're freed up. Now, do I talk to Emma, or not? She might know
Lynch. No I don't think so, I don't trust her that much. But then I
don't trust Lynch either, he's Elint and that's never good news.


Damn, that's a pretty can of worms you've thrown me. Leave it with me
Gates, monitor the net until I contact you again, and then we'll deal
with Dashira, as long as he stays quiet, he'll be safe. If he opens his
fat trap again, there'll be hell to pay, and I'm not losing anyone
protecting him.]<<<<<

*****PRIVATE: Orion
>>>>>[Orion, I have a problem, something has cropped up that is going to
need my full attention for a short while, and I can't help you, I've
delayed Gates for a moment, as I need him to set something up for me.
He _will_ arrive in the Seattle matrix soon. Any chance of getting some
help from Bull, or is he offline now. I have contacted Shanandoah, but
I have yet to get a reply from him. I don't know about Heimdall,
they've been quiet since Smudge last posted he was leaving Seattle, I've
not heard from him since, and that is beginning to worry me. Do what
you have to do for Canis, our work is more important, we can't baby sit
the Dashira. If we can keep him from getting killed, fine, maybe he'll
be of use later, but if not, then too bad.]<<<<<

And what did you mean about "The not-so-safehouse"?

Have you been following me? Explain, this is important!]<<<<<

***** PRIVATE: Inferno
>>>>>[You know me Inferno. Do you really think I'd come out of the shadows
without doing some checking up? It just took a little bit longer than I
intended to find you.

Pegasus tells me you're a bitch to trace.

The vid of the safehouse was the clincher though. I knew you were genuine
after I saw that.....]<<<<<

Pegasus was working for YOU?

We moved locations 3 times at the beginning because Bull noticed him hanging
around!

For Dreks sake!!!

Anyway, now that you've deigned to make an appearance, assuming you're still
in Seattle, I have a little job for you.

How do you like baby sitting?]<<<<<

I just spotted a frame on your account. Someone wanted to keep tabs on
you in SLand.

I just rerouted ReligioNet and a couple of the conspiracy groups into
it. Should keep them reading for a while <chortle> Also might give us an
idea of how close they were looking.

Nicely written, good frame, couldn't get into the reporting address
without trashing it. Might have been able to track all the God-Squad
traffic, but I'll guess this guy is working through a satlink or
something else to airgap it: code that tight, he won't make any dumb
mistakes.]<<<<<
