>>>>>[Not sure. I've spotted a consistent reference a few times buried
deep in the Data Haven; I only ran across them by accident. Best guess is
that "Black Omega" is some megacorporate magical strike force. Like
Mitushama's MCT12, but realy deep, dark and shadowy.

If someone was putting a general call out to the group, that means that one
of the big boys is planning for something major. Question is, what? I
mean, all the major corporations, even the second tier multimationals, have
been getting a bit twitchy recently. Check out the new Wall Street
Journal; Renraku just passed Mitsuhama in total assets ratings and their
stock has been going up, up, up for months now. Fuchi is up next, then SK.
Wanna bet they aren't willing to surrender their market share? Or that
Mitsuhama wants their's back?

Something big is brewing and somebody is really nervous. I'm willing to
bet that all the Big-8 are starting to call in their assets. Which means
I'm moving into a bomb shelter.]<<<<<
