Good to see you're still alive, Herr Doom. Not that I doubted your abilities,
but the nefarious Ganz isa difficult foe.

I'm sorry to hear the Wyrm is dead. Oh well; it isn't the first time. At
least he completed what I needed him to do.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Don't flip me any drek, RAMboy. I've been running, hiding, and
regrouping
with the help of Renraku and various friends in the shadow and entertainment
community.

The past couple of weeks we sort of "took over" a facility we learned of. It
WAS affiliated with Ganz. What we did was infiltrate it with a real live
Black Ops teams -I've seen too many runners scoff at these guys and I don't
know why; maybe it's like the nervous laugh - but these guys are tough to
beat. Using extensive Matrix and magical trickery (Magic seems to be the weak
point of groups affiliated directly with Ganz) we were able to take over this
research facility. Most of the personnel are either dead or lounging in virtual
Renraku dungeons across the globe.

It's fantastic. It's a cloning lab. . .not super-ninja vat men but basic
cloning works. You recall that publicly, one of the primary difficulties
is achieving sentience in a clone; with the exception of Tommy Harada, there
are no reports of clones with personalities. This facility was set up to
research that. I found copies of some of the Magnatech files; they looked
similar to the ones I lifted from the Piggly Wiggly run a couple of months
ago with Stormblade. Other details reinforce my suspicion that these files
were stolen, and that the Big Three were not actively colluding with Ganz.

Most of it's underground. There's a large ovehead filter that brings sunlight
into the main chamber, which is like a small mall in size, leading off to
various offices and research stations. I heard echoes of the opening music
for the old "Clockwork Orange" flat in my head.

Anyway, we've been a busy lot. The Renraku team has taken over security
operations; we've been ensnaring various shipments and monitoring them
for information as they come and go. So far security hasn't been breached.
Lister's been tinkering with the drones; CRUSH has been a great bodyguard.
#####Encrypt|Spirit:You're so lucky. I wish all guys could be as nice and
caring as he, without thinking about other things all the time.#####

We've been going over the bodies here. One is at a critical age; We've
pulled in top scientists to go over the files and prepare the body as
a vessel in an unprecedented experiment. There's no time for all the proper
controls and scientific processes, so this one won't make the papers but--if
it works, we'll have gained a big leap in biomed technology.

We're preparing the body as a vessel for William.

!#Time-Up#!

That's all I have time for. . .I don't want this trace. Good luck,
all.]<<<<<
