>>>>>[Nope, that's literal. Micheal S. Baron was summoned by my daughter
when several of my friends rescued me from my trial in NY, and he went
free when she suffered a deadly wound in FM's Banshee 'Baby'. But he
apparently decided that she was the coolest person on the planet and hung
around and the two of them have kept in touch. Almost as strange as
Roxey and Max, but I'll not get into that.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Ahh, a pleasure to see you again, Alex.]<<<<<
-- Commander Drake, InterPol <17:39:12/12-09-56>

>>>>>[Great.... Now the trial's done, you don't have enough to do by
harass us peons, eh Commander? Never mind, don't answer that.]<<<<<
-- Action Jackson <17:41:36/12-09-56>

>>>>>[Oh, but I want to, Alex. I always have time to harass you and your
fellow habitual criminals. It's one of lifes few pleasures that I allow
myself. I heard that you're daughter is doing better. I am happy to
hear that.]<<<<<
-- Commander Drake, InterPol <17:43:34/12-09-56>

>>>>>[Why, so you can find her, arrest her, throw her behind bars or
worse? Frag, I'm sure she'll be happy to hear of your concern....]<<<<<
-- Action Jackson <17:44:37/12-09-56>

>>>>>[Well, that is certainly part of it, naturally. But allow me my
traces of humanity, Alex. Just because I feel that she'd be better
behind bars, serving the time she owes society, doesn't mean that I can't
understand what it must be like with a loved one in a coma. Allow me
that, Alex.]<<<<<
-- Commander Drake, InterPol <17:47:41/12-09-56>

>>>>>[Commander, if I felt it was honest and well intentioned, I would.
But I cannot trust your motivations in this.]<<<<<
-- Action Jackson <17:48:45/12-09-56>

>>>>>[I'm no nearer catching her than I am you, or finding your well
hidden clinic. I've been trying to find that clinic of yours ever since
I knew it existed, and have never been closer than when I had that
staging area. But you cover your tracks too well, Alex. I must grant
you that. You have nothing to fear from me at this point, Alex. I've
never lied to you, Alex, nor have I ever not been straight with you.
Allow me to offer my consolation, whatever it is worth, for it is well
intentioned. I may desire prison and justice on someone, Alex, but I
never desire unwarranted pain. Not even on you.]<<<<<
-- Commander Drake <17:52:59/12-09-56>

>>>>>[I'm sorry, Commander. While, to the best of my knowledge, I've
never been bullshitted by you, I cannot trust your motivations. It's the
years I've spent running from you and your like. Like so many runners
say, "Paranoia is a way of life."]<<<<<

>>>>[Pay no attention to that Tripe, Mr. Tobai. A free spirit cannot
post to shadowland. The astral beings cannot interact with something devoid
of emotions as a computer screen - In essence, they see but a blank screen.

They're just pulling your leg, so to speak.

Yes indeed. A Spirit cannot post in Shadowland. HAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAHA

+++++SIGNAL ALTERATION - CONTINUING

So you would like to know the secrets of the universe, would you, little man?
It may well be that you have something for me, and I something for you...

NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAH....

wiiiii a giiide doooog, and before the attendants can react, he grabs the
dog by the tail and starts to swing him round and round.

'What are you doing!' Says the store clerk.

'Oh, I was just looking around'.

(you see here a large coat-of-arms with Nuyen rampant over
crossed Platinum credsticks. A banner below unfurls to read:
It's not a habit, It's a way of life.
then the screen is filled with fireworks.)

Besides, we only break the law when we have to. 99% of the time I
'm a good law-abiding citizen.]<<<<<
