>>>>>[Alllllrighty then. Been burning the datalines between Seattle
and der Vaterland for a while now. I've got a couple of no leads -
well, maybe, but even I'm at a roadblock - legwork on the other sie
of the planet just isn't as easy as it oughta be.

Early in the summer a "mysterious" warehouse fire in the Rhine-Ruhr
Industrial MegaPlex resulted in a known Saeder-Krupp subsidiary
losing some cyber. Wrote it off, got the insurance money for it.

Here's a newsfax article about it. I've kept it in the original
German so you can run your own translation on it.
+++++ FILE: WAREHOUSE.FIR

So, now guess what makes and models were lost? Hmmmmmm? That's
right, one of those lost was the same as the cyber your folks dug out
of your dead ganger.

Coincidence? Don't believe in 'em.

Number Zwei, here's the clever part - well, okay, maybe not too
clever - sure the weapons he was carrying had had the serial numbers
filed off (Real bloody original idea, why not just corrupt the
paperwork? Ah, well, guess I just wouldn't cut it as a criminal...) -
but the numbers are stamped into about a half-dozen place, not just
above the trigger group. Soooo, with those in hand, I slipped into
the manufactures' licensee's databases and hunted down that weapon.

Well, guess what? The weapons were mysteriously "destroyed in
transit"? Now what in the hell does that mean? This is even more
creative: they were part of a shipment headed for Singapore, but
I guess a muther of a storm sweapt up in the Indian Ocean and sweapt
the crates overboard. Oh, darn....

Hope it helps. I gotta let this progect go for a while, new stuff
coming up.]<<<<<

both know these guys drop half their cargo somewhere around Burma
and pick up the heroin from the Malaysian pirates before they make
Singapore. A week later and they're anywhere on the planet with
implausible deniability.]<<<<<
