(Door slams open)

Howe: "I told you I was not to be interrupted!"

Secretary: "I'm sorry Mr. Howe I couldn't stop him."

Quention: "Shut up and get the hell out you wage slave!"

Howe: "What the hell are you doing here, Quention!"

Quention: "I'm here to chew out that stinking little carcuss you call an
ass. How could you let Dark Elf and his band of two-bit shadowrunners
get ahold of that biolab. This shitty job you and your cronies have
done in this is inexcuseable."

Howe: "You wait one damn minute. If you had done a better job controlling
that vatjob assassin of yours we wouldn't be having this problem in the
first place."

Quention: "Tommy Harada is a genius just like myself. I knew it would only
be a matter of time before he broke away from the Yakusa. It was your
interferance that prevented me from making sure he never found out
about his orgins.

Howe: "Take it up with Yoshida, I've got enough problems trying to tie down
your AI, RUFUS. I might have to bring MONICA online to sanction him."

Quention: "Don't you dare, Lincoln. RUFUS will chew MONICA up and spit her
out. She's nowhere near as sophisicated as RUFUS."

Howe: "Well, I won't have much choice in the matter. With all those deckers
running around chasing you and Harada's shadow it will be only a matter
of time before someone tries to extract RUFUS. If you had placed
control parameters in him we wouldn't be leaving the system. And
that's Mr. Howe."

Quention: "You just don't get it do you, LINCOLN. If you want a real AI or
a functional clone you can't go around and limit their abilities.
They need to be as free to develop as normal people otherwise they will
prove to be disappointments. Just like MONICA."

Howe: "MONICA was just fine."

Quention: "Don't feed me that drek. We both know the only reason Yoshida
still has an AI division is because I gave you RUFUS as payment for
denying Tirindor MagnaTech. I can't wait til he sells of his portions
so I can put my company back together again."

Howe: "I wouldn't lose any sleep over that, Mr. Yoshida has found MagnaTech's
resources to be quite useful. I don't think he wants to part with them
at this time."

Quention: "What! You little s8pom jf-hjadmopqwe.....<record interrupt>
