>>>>>[ Everybody, a horrible thing happened last night. Nightstalker
showed
up on my door step with a nasty stomach wound. Luckily he has little cyberware
so I was able to put him back together. He's still hurting, but he'll live. I'm
going to put him on line now. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Dark Elf and everybody else who's following this MagnaTech thing,
I've
got some hot data on the whereabouts of Tommy "the Dragon" Harada. The little
fragger was in Seattle last night. I know because he nearly killed me.
I was talking to the Johnson who hired me to track down Harada last
night. All of a sudden we heard some screams come from the other part of his
penthouse along with several muffled gunshots. The Johnson, dumb like most,
sent his Razorboy to find and eliminate the intruder while he but on his Armor
Vest. I decided this would be go time to leave so, I packed up my stuff and
got out my Manhunter. Johnson's bodyguard got in position to guard the main
door into the room and drew a Roomsweeper.
Well, I had just got my smartgun hooked up (really should consider
getting a smartlink installed) when Harada busted down the door. I don't know
what happened to the Razorboy, but Harada had blood on his hands. The
bodyguard opened up on Harada, but he just danced about and wasn't hit. Now
I'm not saying he avoided the brunt of the blast, Harada dodged every last
stinking pellet! I ran for the other door squeezing off a few rounds Harada's
way. I tell you I've never missed a target at that range with a smartgun,
Harada must be some sort of cyber-deity.
Harada decided to stop the game. He pulled a Predator from his jacket
and with one simple motion stop the bodyguard through the heart and gave me a
viscous gut wound. He must have been using APDS ammo because he killed the
bodyguard with that bullet when it had to go through an Armor Jacket,
Ultra-Vest, and Ortho-skin.
I stumbled out of the room and somehow managed to get out of the
building alive. I don't think Harada cared if I lived because I heard him
calmly conversing with the Johnson as I scrambled for the elevator. Of course
that blood curdling scream I heard as the doors shut told me my meal-ticket was
over. ]<<<<<
