enough]<<<<<<

Sometimes
designed to fry the meat as well. Didn't know some were active on the
net]<<<<<<

it?]<<<<<<

>>>>>>[Not much. Big, almost dark, looming shape. Kind'a reminded me of
those
demon stories I was told in my younger days. Don't know how something so CPU-
heavy ( judging by the punch it carried ) could be so stealthy in the matrix.
Had a very "out-of-place" feeling. Even used some physical effects, like dis-
-rupting all electromagnetic currents in my deck. Thanx god it's hardened.
Damage is not fatal.
Red, it seems to me you've been traced back to Seattle. I tell you, I don't
scare easily. But this thing was too strange. Can't begin to understand what it
was really made of. Mostly software, but with something like a will behind - the
kind of will a decker needs to be competitive. Dunno if an AI's like that. But
I'd rather not find out.]<<<<<<

Anyway,
I might as well try and find that DOA. Could be that she learned more since last
time. And it'll give her a break from your constant rantings.]<<<<<<
