>>>>>[DOA, do you really have to do homework? Like, with the stunts you've
pulled lately (like, merging with an AI or two) I don't see how it could be
a problem. Unless you're like me and simply don't do homework-the teachers
at Renraku High #2 never did appreciate how intelligent one can be without
actually doing an work.]<<<<<

you!]<<<<<

>>>>>[Dude, I was hanging out in some private Mitsuhama health spa in L5.
Bum run without Magical support-no way Oz would go ballistic with us. Deal is,
that troll that was huntin' finally cornered us and spoke, extending a personal
invitation to visit Mr. Tokugawa, and owner of several fine business
establishments and enterprises, such as Ronin, In-]<<<<<
--RAMboy <22:25:27/2-24-54>

>>>>>[Ronin? Isn't that the corp you stole that bizaaro deck from? The one
that
worked wiz against Mitsu machines but made like a parapalegic turtle against
eveything else?]<<<<<
--Jaez <22:25:57/2-24-54>

>>>>>[You got that. See, deal is that Ronin and Mitsu are both controlled
to
some extent by Yakuza clans. Through the clans, Ronin was getting a jumpstart
on cloning Mitsu hardware & software, putting out great stuff at hot prices
before the competition could lay hands on it]<<<<<
--RAMboy <22:26:22/2-24-54>

>>>>>[But the Johnson that hired you to hit Mitsuhama turned out to be from
Ronin. Why'd they need that run if they were going to get it anyway?]<<<<<
--Jaez <22:26:53/2-24-54>

>>>>>[Two reasons: it wasn't going retail and consequently wasn't getting
routedto Ronin like other stuff. Reason two has to do with reason 1. It wasn't
getting
routed because the deck is stacked: being able to defeat Mitsu systems better
than gives the owner an advantage in defeating them. Now, Mitsu being a big
provider of Yak hardware, Mr. Tokugawa wanted the machine to spy on his
fellow clan leaders, as well s whatever corp and gov systems used Mitsu tech.
Listen babe, I gotta go. Shuttle's about to hit the ionization zone and
I can't hack that. Pick me up at Sea-Tac, 'K'?]<<<<<

thought
at the Y-man's fiesta!]<<<<<
