Hiya. I'm back online (I hope this Shield prevents this Virus from
affecting my deck... this posting-business is ruining me...).

For those who want to know something about the Virus, LS, and Geffen...

The Virus 'originated' in Geffen Corp., which means, that Geffen was the
first to be affected by it (THEY didn't launch it...). Geffen promptly shut
down for a while to minimize damage and restrain the virus (which didn't
help...). They are back online, but with reduced efficiency (still fighting
the virus, eh?). Others companies that were affected are :
TravelTours, Micropod Product Generation Agency, DeRoc & Associates Pub-
lishers, Tabey Industries, and others, adding up by the minute. Just now
there are about 85 'casualties'. LoneStar is trying to contain the
construct, but its multiplication rate is enormous.

Cat : Be careful about this fragger... It seems to have Dark-Grey
tendencies...

Ah...One moment please...

Hmmm.. Sounds weird...

**'...regarding the Viral Construct, that is ravaging our systems, LoneStar
**is offering so-called freelance deckers a fare of 2000 NuYen for helping
**getting rid of that menace. This is Danile Foster, Sky News at Nine...'
END Audio-Feed

So LS is begging for help... Hey, all you 'freelance deckers' out there...
I think this fare is negotiable...

Oh... Geffen just released a protest form, that condemns use of Viral
Constructs in any way, even Grey IC (Fat chance, hah...)...

Uh Oh... I'm getting a distress call ... Be right back...]<<<<<
