>>>>>[Howdy. This here's Duster, in the UBV, transmitting to you live from
the lobby of the MagnaTech building. Sorry 'bout the background noise; we're
in the process of providing cover fire for our extraction. MONICA has cut
our independant matrix access (as you mave have noticed), so I'm hooked to
a satt uplink in Jace's Praerie Cat by fibre optic cable. We have another
running to Jackal so he can talk to ya:]<<<<<

>>>>>[This is Jackal. We are aborting the mission, repeat, ABORTING the
run! We
cannot reach the security basement. MONICA's physical defenses are too strong.
I took 50 men and women down here, and I've left more than half of them behind
on the way out, dead or dying. And we haven't reached the surface yet! MONICA
has devised some horrific drones, too small and fast to shoot down, and armed
to the teeth!
I've been on the phone with Washington; I still have connections. We've had
a solar mirror pointed this way, so we have daylight. I'm trying to get a
microwave laser satt aimed here. Our only remaining option is to destroy the
building. I left all the explosives and spare ammo we had at the point of
deepest penetration, one floor above MONICA, but I don't think it'll be
enough.
At the moment, I'm open to suggestions.]<<<<<
