the
logs for connection, I noticed something:

Cooper, what's this drek about HumVees running on COFFEE? ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Uhhh...that shouldn't be possible... Although, I've heard (from my
grandfather) that you could run the old Model A Fords off of straight drinking
alcohol.

You know, I'm real impressed with the time we made getting back from Hawaii.
I'll have to check my logs to see if it's near my record. ]<<<<<

Oh, Ganz-o, (or would that be Gonzo?) would you mind bein' a bit more specific
about that "those who already know too much will be terminated"? How 'bout a
break-down as to exactly WHO you're theatening? ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Herr Ganz, are you truly convinced that broad-spectrum shall cower
the
denizens of the shadows? Although I shall make no judgements as to the
debatable rationality of such actions, it has been my experience that some,
indeed many, individuals, rather than cringing in fear, shall consequently
take great offense and accordingly go to great lengths to hamper the offending
individual or organization's efforts. This follows the old "if you threaten
one of us, you threaten all of us" perspective.

And, mein Herr, (although it remains to be seen if you are truly deserving of
the title) being reluctant as you apparently are to discuss whom you
represent, the question immediately leaps to mind of precisely what is the
nature of the organization for which you work. Remember, mein Herr,
shadowrunners are not the only individuals with secrets; you, also, obviously
have something to obfuscate.

Also hearken unto the fact that a multitude of the occupants of this node have
offered/are lending their assistance to Fraulein Jaez motivated by friendship.
You proceed from a false premise if you assume few of us have e'er met in "The
Real World". I have met Jaez twice in a social setting and subsequently found
her to be quite charming, as well as a wonderful dancer. Therefore, I have
decided to come to her aide, should she require it. ]<<<<<
