Alpha furthur reports that dissection of the five dataspigots goes as
can be expected, and cross-linking should begin within 15 seconds, in
order to balance the flow-rate.]<<<<<

>>>>>[ William 6174 -- disconnect as soon as possible. My claws dig into
everything, and nothing is as clean as it seems. Info that Delta Unit
has recovered bears strong resemblance to the EONNP designs. OCIS will
return online for brief moments; the sysops are being particularly
irritable, and are trying to flush several Self-induced viruses that
should keep them busy, at least for a short while. If my Trace works as
well as designed, We should have your location within some few moments.
Hold on, and we'll see if we can't send Doomsday.

Doomsday, We hope you are ready for a quickstrike.]<<<<<

I don't know which one of you people are going to get this, but I can't
imagine ghosting .all. of you. So I sent it to the whole quad. Now,
listen up, 'cause this is for William 6174.

His personality/memory core are located in a computer in a small store
called 'Wizard's Gizzards', a lore shop, on 4th and Vine in Cincinnati.
Hopefully, Wizard will be well on his way towards making the module that
he promised me, so hopefully you can have William planted in a 'body'
all his own fairly soon after you geek me.

If you don't get it done by Thanksgiving, I'll come back to haunt you.
Hey, no, seriously..... catch ya on the flip side.]<<<<<

>>>>>[ William6174, according to the datapacks, was supposed to have
been taken care of -- reintegrated in a boomer body or some such --
about a year ago. Shadowfox, is this information incorrect? If so,
it will mean that a major portion of our estimates will have to be
revised. ]<<<<<

that of aiding others in creating premature permanent deaths. Shadowfox, I'm
