around the other day. It was a lot of fun to use my Filter again-I haven't
seen my captain in action for a long time.
We got together at the Bloomingdale's node in NY and hung out there
for awhile, ordering ourselves some clothes and sending some lingerie to
Nightstalker's apartement, in his name. (giggle). Then we went over to
the corporate grid and looked at the Trump system and Kamicomp. We looked
at the Wall Street node but decided it was too much for fun-we weren't in
the mood for a serious fight.
Circuit Breaker, who seems to like a good brawl more than any girl I
know, convinced me to help her and spirit look at DDI's system. We couldn't
find a New York node; it was probably the Intrepid. So I hopped back to
Seattle and looked up their local node]<<<<<

people-fightin's just one way o' accomplishin' that.]<<<<<
--Circuit Breaker<20:38:01/4-7-54>
>>>>>[Anyway, so I looked up the DDI node in Seattle and we met there. It
was
tough, but not as intimidating as Wall Street. We lowered our ratings to enter
the system's Green-6, sleazing our way past the guard at the
portculis]<<<<<
--Jaez <20:39:02/4-7-54>
>>>>>[Guard?]<<<<<
--Circuit Breaker<20:39:21/4-7-54>
>>>>>[It's her Reality Filter. Carribean Pirates,
remember?]<<<<<
--Spirit<20:39:45/4-7-54>
>>>>>[ANYWAY. . .So we went in and starting poking around some of the
executive
accounts-really, very little trouble, until this Barrier IC stop me and Spirit.
Before we could do anything, we were attacked by some Blaster ice. I ducked and
ran up the system pathways, leaving Circuit Breaker and Spirit to fight it. I
wasn't running away, but my attack program is so ineffective as compared with
my sleaze that I decided to find as much as I could before the system went on
alert.]<<<<<
--Jaez <20:44:21/4-7-54>
>>>>>[Don't worry, honey, it was nothin' ah couldn't handle. .
.]<<<<<
--Circuit Breaker<20:45:31/4-7-54>
>>>>>[That was Blaster 8 in a Red node! It was tougher than you
thought]<<<<<
--Spirit<20:45:41/4-7-54>
>>>>>[JEEZ! Anyway, I found something in the shipping/receiving department.
It
seems that a small firm called CarterBit, Inc, was to be given an order for
microelctronic sensors and servo controls. Now,as I recall (with the aid of my
new Mnemonic Enhancers) this same firm provided monitor and control parts for
the UCAS and various corporate space programs. Spirit later decked CarterBit
alone and found a record of the shipment: The parts were indeed intended for
use in satellites. ]<<<<<
--Jaez <20:49:21/4-7-54>
>>>>>[That's right. We don't know for what, but the boys on Omega sure
seemed
to want that stuff bad. Ah looked at the files mahself and noticed that the
exact same order had been placed months ago, with the parts routed by DDI's
in-house shipping firm directly to New York City, way back when the Intrepid
was there. These parts, according to DDI records, were being sent directly to
Omega Island IMMEDIATELY.]<<<<<
--Circuit Breaker<20:53:21/4-7-54>
>>>>>[While Jaez and Circuit Breaker raked through the shipping subsystem,
I
raced through the executive accounts and found a high-priority message in the
dump file that gets purged every week. It seems that the satellite control parts
being ordered are to replace those destroyed in a "terrorist attack" at the
Omega Island Launch Facility. It seems our boys overseas have made themselves
more than a nuisance: they're setting back the dragon's plans!]<<<<<
--Spirit<20:55:02/4-7-54>
>>>>>[Well, they're not going to get those parts any time soon. Circuit
Breaker
and I changed the order to espresso machine control circuits, plus 999 ball
bearings from another firm. I hope Quention likes coffee!]<<<<<
--Jaez <20:55:21/4-7-54>
>>>>>[Jaez, that was a good move. As you know, coffee and its associated
paraphenalia are controled substances. If Mr Quention and company try to
use any of their power and influence to get illicit java, the F-B-I will
be beating down their door faster than you can say,"Steve
Jackson".]<<<<<
--Cooper<20:57:32/4-7-54>
>>>>>[Thanks. . .I think. Oh, CB: I'll get that date you asked for, as
soon as I get a hold of him, I promise!]<<<<<
--Jaez <20:58:21/4-7-54>
>>>>>[Thanx Jaez. BTW, Spirit just cracked the last file we pulled and it
seems that DDI is now looking for DE and company in Seattle. Seems like that
boy's false trails lead EVERYWHERE. The "latest intelligence" shows that DE
and company were spotted heading to the new UB chapter, finished just two
months ago to replace the one that was destroyed by arson a couple years
bacl. . .]<<<<<
