| Subject: | The good Doctor makes a house call on Fuchi's system... |
| Date: | Fri, 5 Mar 93 20:16:29 CET |
offer assistance in this matter, especially considering the recent and very
dishonorable move by Fuchi, United Kingdom, now apparently known as Kurgen. I
decided to see if I could acquire any personel records on this repugnant
individual...
Following cracking Fuchi's security (They must really consider looking into
upgrading their system, should they intend to have their data secure from
anyone possessive of a partially decent familiarity with infiltration
procedures.), I found his personel file... Rather odd they had not yet had the
opportunity to re-file it under discharged operatives, and therefore I took the
liberty of doing so for them. Another source of the information presented here
were Kurgen's own words, as recorded by him into personal diary text files--
(the IC you included to protect these files was poor indeed, Kurgen)
As to the sentiments expresses by Nightstalker that we (meaning the
technomancers involved) should generate a conscientious effort to ensure the
clandestine nature of our posts such that Kurgen is not aware of our dialogue,
I find this policy laudible. However, I am not in the least bit concerned
should he hear me drag all of his skeletons out of his proverbial closet.
Real Name: Simon Joseph Trent
Age: 26
Birthplace: Greenwich, England
Birthdate: April 29, 2028

(His photograph, compliments of Fuchi Personel Files)
No known living relatives.
Born in to middle-to-lower class parents. Attended public school with only
average distinction. Following the death of his parents in a freak airline
accident, the subsequent details of which are not known, he was raised by the
state in a series of orphanages. He attended Cambridge University on a state
supported scholarship, and graduated with a BSc in Computer Science. Following
the death of his parents, he was ever driven by the need for approval by those
above him, whether they be teachers, professors, or executives.
Has worked for Fuchi for the last 4 years, following graduation from college.
At this point I discovered corporate records (and a few of Kurgen's) that shed
some light upon the strong enmity felt between Highlander and Trent:
It seems that two of Trent's classmates were also hired by Fuchi in the same
period: Highlander (I shall protect your anonymity, mein Herr) and his friend
Ian McIntyre, the class' valedictorian who would have undoubtably proceeded on
to graduate studies had it not been for a especially lucrative offer by Fuchi.
McIntyre, in recognition of his skills in microtechnology, was quickly assigned
to a senior position in the C^2 development department. Pitted against his
classmate for the position just under McIntyre, Highlander beat Trent through
his own merit and a personal recommendation from his friend.
Trent was, needless to say, quite insenced at being "denied," as he termed it
in many personal file entries (very interesting reading, Kurgen). Assigned to
data acquisition for Fuchi, he soon proved to be a competant even if overly-
eager, operative.
Promoted early in recognition of his skill and strong loyalty, he almost gained
an obsessive-compulsive attitude towards gaining approval of the executives.
In contrast to the approval by his superiors, Trent was strongly disliked by
those with which he worked. I have found numerous memorandums and intra-office
communiques of disgruntled operatives refusing to work with him. In these
messages, nicknames like "Backstabber" were often assigned to him.
Events would take, however, a definite turn for the worse... Highlander
apparently discovered the embezzelment by a top executive in Fuchi, and quickly
reported it to McIntyre, who told his supervisor. When it reached the ears of
the executive in question that he was found out, he silenced the supervisor
with money from his personal account and resolved to move against those who
knew his secret. Aware of Trent's vendetta against Highlander, he recruited
him to re-write the pertinent records, by which he successfully implicated
McIntyre and Highlander. (he admitted to as much in his personal files...)
McIntyre was, quite regreattably, shot whilst "resisting arrest" (according to
the Security Report).
[You have my condolences, Highlander--I apologize for dragging out these
undoubtably painful events, but the more your comrades know about Kurgen, the
better prepared they shall be against him]
Highlander successfully escaped the security net. During this time, the most
advanced prototype of the C^2 Matrix Cybernetic Interface Device disappeared,
although it was assumed Highlander appropriated it preceeding his departure.
Highlander also apparently took the occasion to erase a large amount of the
Research & Development records on the project. Following the files' deletion,
According to the logs I obtained, following the files' deletion, the system
crashed, also, I assume, compliments of Highlander to cover his departure.
Trent's enthusiasm for his corporation as well as his grudge against Highlander
caused him to immediately volunteer to retrieve Highlander when he went rogue.
He will pursue this goal with all the zeal he has approached any other task, at
the expense of anything and everything else.
His Matrix icon (his old one, at least) has already been descibed, that of
Sherlock Holmes, a character he identifies with very strongly. His loyalty to
the company is his prime motivation--his Matrix handle is proof enough of that.
Now that he has been "disowned" by them (as opposed to being terminated), he
shall be willing to perform any act within his power to regain his former
position. ]<<<<<
