need
you to do some work to see if you can find out WHAT. Do some research, nothing

there to do them. I'm sorry, I have to do this. Mail me privately if you want
to make arrangements with me...

>>>>>[ Hey Solonus, if you are need of some back-up, I am available for
work in
the Chicago area. I could use the Yen.

I should also add that the local gangers seem to enjoy reminding me about the
present Nightmare has given to me. They have given me a new nickmane. If you
know what Nightmare left me with, it shouldn't take you too long to figure out
what those . . . those . . .gangers are calling me. And in that case, it will
be even easier to find me. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ That last bit was in reference as to what the locals call me now.
They
have taken up calling me by two names. One I absolutely hate, because it
reminds me of what Nightmare did to me in the last Astral Quest I undertook and
the other just confuses me because I don't know it's reference. If you don't
know what Nightmare did to me, I suggest you did up through the back logs when
you get the opportunity. ]<<<<<

And if you're expecting any trouble...]<<<<<
