>>>>>[My employer asked me to put this news feed onto the board. If you
ask me, it ain't news if there ain't some T&A but hey, he's paying the nuyen.

****Insert News Feed****
One of the worst acts of violence in recent weeks occurred today when a 4
square block area of the Puyallup Barrens exploded in flame. Early
estimates put the amount dead at 54. These deaths include families of
nearly all races and meta-types.

So far, no person or group has claimed responisibility. A spokesman for
Lone Star stated that this is because any policlub or militant
organization who claimed responsibility for this tragedy could face loss
of support due to the indiscriminate killing.

That is all for now, but we will of course broadcast any new information
that is learned about this horrible tragedy.
****End News Feed****

Well, there it is. Catch you on the flip side.]<<<<<

violence. How much do you care for these mortals? Surely you aren't just
another uncaring shadowrunner like all the rest? All they care about is
their nuyen and their worthless hides. Are you any different?]<<<<<

>>>>>[K'leshn'ya vla-kynya, Dhorighan! You go too far in your pursuit of
the young Journey. You are my prey, now -- this 'Nation' is no greater a
threat to the balance of society than you are to the balance of Nature,
and natural selection. You slay indiscriminately, and that makes you a
Destroyer, a Ravener in any book.

Never mind your desires for dominance over the 'lesser races,' you old
decrepit fool -- the Children of the Earth will not put up with this.
Be on your guard, Dhorighan, for your blood will wet my claws in just
and final retribution for these deaths.]<<<<<
