>>>>>[We've stayed with them for well over a month now. Thus far we have
gone over every aspect of their training. All of them have come up to
speed incredibly well. I would commend Mr. Stormwind on his choice of
recruits.

He has been quite cooperative with our people when it comes to turning over
records for his people. His security checks were exhaustive (better than
most that we have done for many of our low level security personel) and he
flatly refused to work with or consider anyone who showed even the slightest
hint of problems with InterPol or other enforcement agencies.

++++++ Include Employee Reports

He went over their files with a fine toothed comb. If they are doctored
they were done by the best. Someone willing to put that type of effort into
covering up their tracks has something worth finding lurking in a closet.

I am still concerned with some of the services this group has used. Mister
Stormwind still keeps near constant contact with one Fredrick Frypp of
Frypp Sec.

+++++ Include Dossier: Frederick Frypp
+++++ Include Dossier: "Kabuki Man"

The company seems clean, but Frypp has been linked, loosely, I must
say, to a number of altercations with local law enforcement agencies.
It may be nothing to worry about but please note a mail message between
Frypp and Stormwind (alias Kor) discussing their upcoming collaboration /
partnership.

As per your instructions, I have added a tap on Stormwind's cyber deck and
kept records of all of his incoming and out going mail.

+++++ Include: Mail Log

On the surface he keeps clean but still frequents ShadowLand BBS (throughout
each of its node changes) and keeps contact with a large group of self-
proclaimed shadowrunners. This may, at some point, become a problem.

+++++ Include: ShadowLand BBS Node

On the whole, I am a little skeptical of how this entire situation will
turn out.]<<<<<

>>>>>[As always, your information is timely, but your interpretation leaves
a lot to be desired.

If you were heading up a security team to protect a corporation on the
verge of having the big ten liquidate them, would you not wish to keep up
with the "word on the street"? If anyone is planning a run against
you client, where else would best to listen for rumblings? No, I believe
that to be a fine business move on his part. Certainly you do not believe
that we dont have people who also track the dealings of the shadow world?
How else would we be able to defend ourselves against out enemies or friends?

As to Freddy Frypp -- Small time. Nothing to worry about. We need only
worry about information flowing too freely on technical specs for our security
equipment. Frypp and this "Kabuki Man" have, in the not too distant past,
dealt quite heavily with Maxim Arms. That has been taken care of.

Thank you for the information on his staff.

I would like for you and the rest of the on-site trainers to assist them
in their current contract. They have bitten off more than they can chew
and will likely need a bit of backup. I have sent a detachment, to
be keyed on you, to your location. I would love to tell
you that they are 5 of my best, but they arent. They are as green as they
come but they all know the game plan well. They are there simply to augment
and assure that the assets of Stormwind and his associates are not too
damaged.

They have been instructed, by myself, to stay off site and on alert until
they are needed. The last call will be yours. Remember, they are there
to liquidate all threats to our investments. They have been ordred to
deal with the situation indisciminate of uniform.]<<<<<
