>>>>>[ Is there anything that I can do to help with the search for Alex?
I have some Serenity assets that I could put on the case to help you out.
Do you need any decker support to help? I can get Neuron Basher to help
your folks out with deciphering what's on Flux's system. 'Basher taught
Alex quite a bit of what he knows .. I know you guys have access to the
FedPols and other sources of shock troops, but if necessary, I can have
on of my FRT squads in the air in less than 1 hour.

Let me know what I can do. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[Hi there, Zach.

What do we need? Don't know. Does the light in the refrigerator go out
when the door closes? We know a lot about Alex, else he wouldn't be
SIGA. What might he hav overlooked telling us? What might he have
written off as unimportant?

This is a real pain in the ass. A good friend gets vanished, inside
FedPol jurisdiction no less (you bet they're helping us, but they don't
have any more data than we do) and we can't chase up one single lead.

Whoever snatched Alex probably moved him onto the subway system: so
forget finding them from there. Too many people moving through every
station, too much room to ride back and forth for hours or more before
going out.

If we get so much as a sniff, we'll be on it in a trice (I'm sure a
trice is something British and smutty, but Quinn likes it) and we'll
call Serenity's FRT in as well if we can possibly sort out the
jurisdiction. The FedPols can be persuaded, the outliers tend to be
pedantic (and corrupt) bastards about outside security assets.

You get invited without question: I consider Alex a good friend, and
you're closer to him than I. We'll square the paperwork somehow.

We're beating the streets hard, and getting useful but irrelevant data
as a result. Not a sniff as to where Alex is.

If it's any consolation, whoever has him wanted him alive. Dead is
easier and hence cheaper.]<<<<<
