>>>>>[We have managed to shut down the majority of the Matrix boards
that were pushing information regarding Thunda, and have recovered some
of the equipment concerned with those boards. Some information was
recovered on the external drive units, and a certain amount was
recovered from the volatile ram and storage capacitors of the boards,
though unfortunately it would appear they knew we were coming, there was
no access records, no transaction details and no user list. There is
still some information traffic, but we are monitoring the access nodes
in an attempt to get a line on anyone who revisits, they will be
rerouted to FBI Matrix Security Division at Federal House. I doubt
we'll get many, but a few targets should present themselves for the
cybercops.
Analysis indicates that the owners of the boards we have managed to
trace have made a substantial sum from the charges they instigated for
data access. The full amount is, at this time unknown.
Should we continue the investigation, or file it?]<<<<<

>>>>>[Don't bother pursuing the case, file it, and we'll see if they pop
up again somewhere else. They served a purpose and kept the glory
hunters out of the main path of the investigation. Let them enjoy their
money. We'll catch them another day.
ASAC Crawley, We have a lead on Thunda, at the moment that is far more
important than chasing down matrix jocks. I want 12 Agents following
these keads up, seems someone ID'd a vehicle he used in that firebombing
of the fuel station in Puyallup. Emergency services have the fire under
control now, and are sifting the area for survivors. Body count at this
time is unknown, and judging by the intensity of the fire, we are likely
to never know how many died in that attack.
I want the number plates of the bikes followed up, and chase down the
gang colours, if we can find them, we might find a path to Thunda.
For those not concerned with the City Hall incident, the bomb was
successfully defused by the ARES team, their specialists are going over
the bomb in conjunction with forensics. Hopefully they'll pull
something out of that magicians hat and provide further information.
ARES are fairly certain they'll be able to identify the parts and
suppliers of the individual bomb units, I want that information passed
on to Washington, and Interpol. With any luck, we might be able to get
a few of these people on charges.
Good job those on site, the evacuation was text book. Shame about that
damn fool reporter. I want the agents on duty at the entrances to city
hall in my office within the hour.
Something bothers me about the detonation sequence of the device, and
Thunda's strange choice of times, but I won't be able to explore that
avenue until I have the full diagnostics and breakdown report from ARES.
Meanwhile, keep chasing down what leads we have. Thunda may have lost
his toys, he may have lost his drugs sale, and most of his matrix system
and suppliers, but _HE_ is still out there, and I want him found. He
has nothing left, no suppliers, no equipment, his matrix defences are
collapsing. At this time I want to warn you all to be extra cautious,
and twice as observant as you usually would. There is no enemy, worse
than a man who has nothing left to lose. OK, let's shake it
people.]<<<<<

device. I owe you one. Watching on the monitors, I'm not sure our
people could have been as delicate as you were. Congratulations, and
thanks. I owe you one.]<<<<<
