>>>>>[ Perhaps the wisest move would be to change the location of the
party
at the last minute, and spread news by word of mouth and closed encryption.
Even if we "suspected terrorists" did not show up, that's no guarantee that
the CIA won't show. Just think how many runners will be there. In fact, I'd
lay odds that the amassed might could outdo the CIA, but this is no time for
gambling... ]<<<<<

going
in and wiping every copy of it in the UCAS databases. It won't stop the
fraggers but it should slow them down. ]<<<<<

Here's the real plan, next week my whole team will enter Omega Island.
If we're going to be treated like terrorists, we'd better start acting the part
before the CIA gets too close. Our first mission will be a total low-profile
recon before we link with Tommy Harada, Feral, Brightlight, D.B., and the
rebels. We'll then compare notes and plan a series of lightning raids. The
datafortress is going to be a rough ride even for me, but I think I can come
up with a few tactical tricks to circumvent, if we can get on-site.

Tommy, from now on refer to us as Delta Epsilon Sqaud, and no uncoded messages
on open channels as always. We plan to arrive at <<Encypt: Gamma-9>> and will
need a diversion. When we arrive, do not try to contact us, after our recon
we'll find you. That will give you time to find your traitor, and we may find
out who on our recon. Good Hunting.
<<Encyrption Protocol Disengaged>>

Doom, we'll do what we can to find out what DDI knows about you, I think
Kat has some info on that now, she did coordinate most of the Matrix search.
Just for your information, I'm clearing Kat to post what she knows tomorrow.
Good Hunting friends. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Doom, you are a difficult man to track. The first logical step was
to
find a UCAS SIN for you by backtracking your messages and collating with cred
records in local banking nets when we got a trace. Needless to say that led
nowhere fast. We then acted on the fact that you were a Geerman national.
After reconning the Imperial Records System we found that the Imperium would
not clear us to to a backround check anywhere but public records. Tirandor
instructed us not to risk an international incident with the Imperium so we
restricted ourselves to their public domain areas. We did manage to get your
SIN number, but we have no idea if it is a flase front or not, nor do we know
if you have changed it since. They know that you have ties to the Imperial
government and as such are politically untouchable on German soil.

Doom has not been put on the list of terrorist sympathizers at Quention's
request. According to him extradition would be a diplomatic nightmare.
Your involvement has them scared. They are not capable of standing up to the
Imperium.

Be warned, if they manage to track you down outside of Germany, they can resort
to less legal methods. That was the route they were beginning to take when
I made the mistake of making a naive attempt to locate DE and was removed from
service with DDI and Omega. At the start of the task, we encountered similar
problems as when we tried to track DE, a convoluted set of false leads, many
of which could easily lead to embarrasing circumstances as I found out the
hard way. ]<<<<<
---Kat <16:33:46/03-31-54>

>>>>>[ That's because the good doctor and I have similar ideas about
security,
besides, we have a rapport and take the time to compare notes since the MONICA
affair. ]<<<<<
---Dark Elf <16:15:46/03-31-54>

>>>>>[ So DE, are you going to set up Kat with her own place or is she
going
to stay in your apartment for the rest of her life??? ]<<<<<
---Napalm <16:17:05/03-31-54>

>>>>>[ Watch what you're insinuating, this is a strictly professional
relationship. Strictly. ]<<<<<
---Dark Elf <16:17:55/03-31-54>

>>>>>[ Too bad. ]<<<<<
---Kat <16:19:55/03-31-54>
