>>>>>[Nightstalker, with all due respect, that's a ton of dragondrek.
The CPU traces every active job -- this includes deckers -- that is in
the system. If you go deep enough, and a Code-red-deuce requires going
deep enough, you can track anybody and anything. You. Me. The Dead
Wyrm. Hell, you can track Morgaine, and I haven't seen anybody claim to
be better than .her.

Everybody leaves traces, however small, going into and out of a system.
This left nothing. .Nothing. No movement into the node, no movement
out of the node -- nothing that can even remotely be interpreted as a
'jackout' signal. One picosecond it wasn't there; the next, it was, as
though it had been there all along. Then it disappeared, like it hadn't
ever been there.

If you can find out what kind of evasion programs this 'TiDU' is
running, 'Stalker..... well, it'd be worth more than any of our decks to
get our hands on them.]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Hey, I didn't say how he did it. I don't have any idea. But given
the
info he was spouting, the pattern of speech, and the fact that the Wyrm is not
dead, it had to be him. My advice is to go look over it with and even finer
tooth comb then the one you used. The messages were from the Wyrm which means
there was something to find if you look for it right or he's perfected the
supersleaze. ]<<<<<
