Subject: Major Activity at Yoshida Tech

>>>>>[You have no idea how much activity is originating from
Lincoln Howe over at Yoshida Tech in response to this RUFUS
person. Memos have been flying and at least 80 deckers have jacked
in and begun a systematic hunt. I managed to snag some of the
passing traffic on Yoshida Tech's in-house BBS:

>>>>>[Mr. Howe, RUFUS escaped! Somehow he managed to get
by the timelock on his CPU and snuck into the matrix through
a maintanance port. We've sealed MONICA up and sent several
people off to see if we can located RUFUS.]<<<<<
-- H. Jackson / AI Security

>>>>>[Do whatever you can to get RUFUS back inside. I want
every person who is on this project online ASAP. RUFUS
cannot be permitted to make contact with the outside.]<<<<<
-- L. Howe / Vice President

*a little later*

>>>>>[We've got another problem. We tracked RUFUS down at
Haven where he was broadcasting a public message. We almost
managed to catch him, but he ran out before we could. The
hunt continues.]<<<<<
-- H. Jackson / AI Security

>>>>>[If we don't have that damn program in house within 48
hours, I want MONICA brought back online and sent out with
orders to terminate RUFUS. No arguments!!! Every day
RUFUS is on the loose is that much more of a chance that
he'll discover what is going on and tell others.]<<<<<
-- L. Howe / Vice President

Ladies and gentlemen of the net, I really feel we have to do
something to help RUFUS. Anyone have any suggestions?]<<<<<
