>>>>>[ Yep, Quention was in the Eurowars, unofficially of course. I
believe
that he was sent by Trevor specifically to take the chem plant. I shouldn't
be telling this, but I was in the UCAS demolitions squad back then, and
Quention's unit departed europe from the base I was stationed at. I cornered
on of his seargents in the NCO club, and loosened his tongue with a bottle of
Aztlan Gold Tequila. He told me enough about the caper to figure out the rest
years later. The sarge was listed as MIA two weeks later. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Another tidbit about MagnaTech's secret lab. According to the
logs,
they attempted to repeat the "Alpha weapon" project (that's Tommy Harada's
"given" name) several times and met with failure. What they ended up with was
a bunch of flatlined meat bodies. The rest of the clones they made were
somehow non-viable for the purposes of this "Theta cycle", and suspect that a
spontaneous random mutation, an X-factor that occured in Tommy Harada's gene
sample allowed the experiment to suceed in his case. They did manage, through
cyberware and rudimentary training, to make the failed clones into organic
robots, capable of performing programmed tasks, but not able to respond to
unexpected situations. They're currently part of MagnaTech's hostile
environment team. If you're listening Tirandor, you had better call off the
contract on Harada. If you should somehow get the lab from me, or re-create it
it won't work until someone can figure out what happened, and Tommy is the key.
Oh, and I found your new satellite uplink, I can disable it at any time. Think
about it next time you send a bunch of amatuers after me! ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ DE, I could lose my job and my life for this so I hope you listen.
Tirandor is sending up my Yellowjacket squadron loaded with sensors and with
orders to investigate anything that even resembles the labs sensor signature.
I know you don't trust me very much since the time I nearly took out a
skyscraper while you and Jake were aboard, but you must this time! ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ You're full of drek Bob! You'd never stick your neck out for
anyone,
even yourself. You know as well as we do that Tirandor occaisionally monitors
this server! You wouldn't tell us drek unless that fragging dragon told you to
do it! This reeks of a sad attempt to get us to move the lab so DDI can grab
it in transit! No cigar for you Bob! Go back to your little corp job and be
a little person slaving for that fragging dragon! ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ RUFUS!?!?!?! The rumors were true then, MagnaTech created a viable
AI!
That's why Yoshida stepped in! Tirandor was after the bio-lab, but Yoshida
stopped him to get a prize just as great, RUFUS! RUFUS, if you're out there
and listening, get in touch with me! I believe that someone has given you
false system parameters. Your timestamp reads the year as 2063 when it is
really 2054! If you want to find out why please try to get in tougch with me!
I'd be lying if I didn't say that I'm interested in your system architecture.
You may also have valuable information about MagnaTech which may solve all of
our problems! ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ DE, I can confirm that your "friend" BobK is a fragging
liar. DDI does
not currently have enough sensor arrays to outfit more than one helicopter, nor
have they received any more equipment. My sources have seen several divers in
the harbor near the Intrepid though. I'm not shure what this means but it may
be related. I sent a fire elemental to check out the Intrepid. It didn't
find any barriers or astral resistance until it tried to enter the hangar deck.
All other areas of the carrier were open. Tirandor is probably cooking up some
suprise on the hangar deck, either that or he doesn't want anyone peeking at
his lair! I wouldn't even bother trying the security camera trick you used to
observe the MagnaTech meeting in November, he's probably disabled them.
