God this is really difficult I am sending on my own power with a link up
to ma-bell with my portable phone and my sattelite uplinks in a moving vehicle
so it has to be quick. DE I gotta warn you that someone somewhere slipped
up big. All the connections here have been severed and we are virtually
cut-off. And the Dragon and his wrecking crew are looking like they are
expecting company. I can only assume it is you. Good Luck.

>>>>>[Tahiro-sama, in case you missed the last newsflash, here's a copy for
you!

***** Audio-Visual Data inserted *****

"At 10 o'clock this morning a team of the GSF was ambused by the wicked Mori-
shita Gang. Amanda Scott was there, and here's her report."

"Hello, this is Amanda Scott of the Tokyo City Cable Five. Behind me is a store-
house in the harbour area, where more than two dozen GSF agents have been
brutaly slaughtered. Responsible for this is the Morishita Gang, an infamous
organization of so-called Shadowrunners and Kawaru. Most of the agents have been
sniped from the distance as they searched the storehouse for the wanted Mantis,
a spy with a reward of 20.000 nuyen on his head. The storehouse has been known
to be a stronghold of the Morishita Gang, and connections between their leader,
a women who uses the alias of Cat, and Mantis had been prooven. Some of the
corpses bear strange marks of violence. At my side is Yakamuro Tanaka, chief
of the homicide department of the GSF. Yakamuro-sama, what can you say so far?"

"There are so far five distinguishable causes of death. Most of the regretable
agents have been shot in the head with a sniper rifle using selfmade rounds.
There is evidence of directly applied force as from Martial Arts, a strange
thing for an ambush. Some strange magic similar to the AmerIndian shamanism has
been a part of this unbelievable breaking of law and morale, and at least two
full-automatic weapons had been in the shoot-out. The agents have bravely fought
back, but were vanquished. Now, we are looking for some trace towards the
criminals involved."

(Camera zooms in, Yakamuro fills the screen.)

"The GSF offers a reward of 125.000 nuyen for any help that leads to the arrest
of one of the Morishita Ronins. We appeal to all citizens of Tokyo - this scum
must finally be swept off the streets of our city."

"Thank you, Yakamuro-san. This is Amanda Scott on TCCF."

***** Insert complete *****

What your son has forgotten is that only five shots were fired by your oh so
well trained and expensively equipped team before they bit the dust. Oh, and
thank you for the hardware. The armor has some holes, but is still useable.

Your team is dead. Each single one has paid for your foolishness. And I'm fed up
now with these games. Leave Morishita alone, or retailiation will hit you AND
your family.
Yours in eternity,]<<<<<

If you value the lives of your hired deckers, we suggest you advise them

their likely fate if they continue: I suggest you do likewise, if for no
other reason than that I will terminate this operation if you cannot be
trusted to maintain your employer's privacy.

You may congratulate them on their skill if they wish: it requires
talent to become such a nuisance.]<<<<<
