recently unearthed a file of immense proportions. Well, for those in the

get help. I have the means to do so, but don't know if I could keep him safe

que for a bit. He left me with vague instructions concerning the newbie.
Apparently, he doesn't seem to be trusting anyone, even me, very much, and
won't tell me where he or the kid is. I do know it will involve a corporate-
like extraction level, and could be extremely volatile, depending on events
that transpire. Anyone that agrees to help is going to need to figure out to
operate in a ' blind remote ' network. It's one of those, ' everyone is doing
a job, but no one knows whom each other is ' sort of things.
I think he's offering >>-very- comfortable sum<< for this, about 30% of
which is actually in Free&Clear MCT and Ares corp scrip. I also know he
offers his own services as additional compensation, for instance ...

He gives' stuff like that away to people as payment sometimes. I know that

>>>>>[Mr. Lynch, it's good to hear that some actions are being taken by
others, and I'm certain that Binder will be too. No, this isn't Binder, and I
am very sorry. I can however let you in on this much. I have recently gotten
a download from the Enchanter, and given the reputation you ride with, I feel
I can give this much to you ...

+++++ uplink recorded activities [BITheD]

[A room of some sort, a restroom from the looks of it. Filled with -kids-,
several boys between the ages of 8 and 12 from their appearances. Two boys
are in center focus, one of them with "Blind Guide Glasses" (made by
Yamatetsu) and another youth >> N3 Encryption Sequence<<, both about the same
age. The camera angle is about shoulder level with the boys, who seem to be
chatting idly. One, the individual on the left (the one covered by
encryption), seems to be the "one in the know", filling in the other kid (the
blind one) as to what happens where and who does what when and what teachers
are geeks and other information that only kids of this age would really
understand in detail. The images are collected in collage form, excerpts
taken from overall events of a day at school.

Things that are noticed is the phonics have also been layered over, similar
encryption, and in some cases, outright removed from the editing. There isn't
even a lingual connection being retained of the other boy, the one that by now
you have obviously considered as "Newbie". In places, even reflections have
been edited. Whatever did this is -tres cool- and definitely on the edge of
SOTA because it is direct edit and not rewrite. Quite literally, you believe
that other names have been changed as well, and in some places, location
indications.]

I am truly sorry about the obscurement of the file, but Binder is being
incredibly panicky. I know he has his reasons. What has been indicated is
that he believes the kid managed to find something out of pure luck, and not
by direct action. I think that is going to make this FAR worse a situation.

I do know the site the kid is at is considered corporate-amber, and
addendums that were in the master file indicated probably CCSS and Sentry II
technology. I would guess an enclave, probably a big one, but exactly which
corp, has not been indicated in any of the files.

What I do know is that Binder is literally -with- the kid part of the day
and probably doing his best to watch him the rest of it.

Optionally, the individual known as "Irish" has expressed an interest in
assisting as well, and possibly another. I would like to know your opinions.
I have -NOT- been brought up to date as to what "Chronos" is, but the name
seems to be whispering around in vast numbers of electrons. And given the
sheer volume of said signals, I would say it is a dark and dangerous shadow-
secret indeed.

And one more thing, Binder seems to believe he's run amuck with some other
matrix operator. What does the name 'Eblis' mean to you? If Binder is using
'Nodekiller' the number of times I have found indications of, I would say it
is indeed a bad situation.]<<<<<

*****PRIVATE: Eblis, Belial
>>>>>[There are a number of interested parties searching for information
on you. We have set a number of frames into operation that will keep
the searchers occupied for several months, each one promises information
from protected datastores yet will reveal nothing except viral
encryptions and IC. With luck some of the searchers will die in the
attempts to trace you, if not at least we will cost them some valuable
equipment.


Eblis, we have set up a new matrix identity that will allow you to
continue conversing with the locals but will protect you from any
searches that continue. Any sustained interrogation of the protection
will eventually break of course, but the successful geek who manages to
crack the encryption and trace the signal will have a very unpleasant
shock in store for them. The previous routines written by our deceased
friends in Renraku have enabled me to penetrate Fuchi's outer stores. I
have linked the tracer program to these stores. Any decker cracking the
encryption protecting you will be swamped by Fuchi deckers faster than
he can fart. It should be a nice surprise for them. The fact of
cracking the encrypted routines will alert Fuchi security to an imminent
breakin of their deeper systems. By the time they realise the mistake
the invading decker will have been obliterated.


Further to the trace on Lynch, I have been unable to ascertain his
precise location, however, there is an increased presence in the Matrix
of Federal officers. I believe that I caught a sniff of his mother
agency in amongst the chaos. Never have I seen the matrix clear so
rapidly as when the "death squads" <grin> come storming through.
Deckers across Seattle suddenly jacked out, can't understand why. There
is a good possibility that Lynch is assisting Achilles in the search for
the Newbie92739434 persona. If this is the case, then we are not going
to discover Lynch's loction unless he can be brought into open
conversation. There are two ways to do this. Use similar methods to
those employed by The poster known as Paraquat. We have analysed the
posts, and believe we have discovered the section that resulted in the
bedlam that ensued


+++++Include: Reference.dat
+++++Include: Analysis.dat
+++++Include: Speculation.inf


It is distinctly possible that in comparing the Lynch's to corporate
wage slaves, McBride signed his death warrant. If you wish to provoke a
reaction, albeit an extreme one, this would be the course to follow.
However, the rapid and insignificant demise of McBride is an indication
that this would be an extremely dangerous path, certainly one for later
consideration.


The other way would be to consider an attack against this person.


+++++Include: Mystery person.pic


We have no idea who she is, but there is some connection here.
Extensive research indicates that this person is also of the name
Running Wolf, though exactly what the relationship is we do not know.
However, the person was recently identified climbing aboard an InterAir
flight bound for New Orleans. That may be a direction to start
research. If we can capture or confirm the identification of this
person, we would have an unparralleled hold over Lynch. He would feel
obligated to do whatever we demand. The chances of removing him from
circulation in the UCAS, and sending him permanently to Europe, or
Antartica would be an exceptional coup.


Belial, I have redirected your comms links to lead to a corporation in
South Africa. I wish any Seattle decker the greatest of luck in hacking
that particular fortress in search of you. Your identities are as
secure as Renraku bespoke software can achieve. I anticipate a safety
margin extending over at least 12 months. Have a blast guys.]<<<<<

*****PRIVATE: Meridian
>>>>>[I want a search and identify on Ravelin. This person appeared out
of nowhere, indulged in a rather involved tirade supporting Belial's
ramblings, and has displayed considerable distaste for Achilles and
Lynch. I am curious why this person chose to show their opinions and
never repeat them. Who is he/she/it, where did they post from, and whom
do they work for? Do not expose us to unnecessary scrutiny, but I am
curious as to the motives of this person. If they are so heavily
opposed to the agencies that have cause us such severe headaches over
the past two years, then they are possibly a tool that could be used to
further our own desires. Motivated and supplied, they may be drawn into
open conflict, or possibly be part of an organisation that could be
drawn out. Find them for me.


I am also somewhat disappointed that the Lynch's have failed to rise to
a rather obvious bait. I am curious to know what possibly could be
holding them to such a strict silence. Is it possible that we have
misjudged, and that he answers to Achilles, not the reverse? Is it
possible that our true enemy is not Lynch, and that as a pawn, he could
be obliterated without undue threat?]<<<<<

Thank you Ricochet, this is Binder. I have found Newbie9. He is currently
very safe, but he is absolutely mortified of something. He's doing a good job
of keeping all of that hidden, but I can't help but feeling sorry for him. I
have not had the chance to discuss anything with, as the circumstances would
probably make him literally flip out of his developing mind.
I don't know if moving him is an option. Prophet has informed me of the
S.I.G.A. being involved, that being Mr. Lynch and his people. I do believe
that they would find themselves in a world of direct hurt as I am -VERY- deep
into an >>{Encryption Block]Ares Enclave[Encryption Block]<< at the moment, as
is Newbie9. If the kid is rushed, I know, I've said it before, so call me a
concerned being of the Human Nature. I am going to work out a way to discuss
this kind of stuff with Newbie9, I just hope I don't freak the guy out.
