On a more serious note, Omega troops have begun another series of counter
strikes against us. Delta Epsilon met up with a squad of choppers just a few
hours ago, and our newly acquired armored vehicle kept them off us with
autocannon fire courtesy of OddBall. Once we were in position, Napalm
decided to see what a fireball could do to their rotors and brought one down
to a blazing death. OddBall finally connected another with two AC rounds,
the first sent if off balance and the second pierced the canopy, making a royal
mess of the pilots. The last chopper turned and ran when Jake started lobbing
grenades at it courtesy of his AK-98.

The choppers picked us up while we were casing out a route to the docks. While
Tirandor has never seen me, Napalm, or Cowboy, he has seen Jake and OddBall, so
I'm sure he'll guess that we're in town. Feral's observation has me worried.
I'd have some idea what to expect if our scaly friend was around, but he hasn't
been seen lately. Our intelligence reports that the Inrepid pulled out of
dock yesterday afternoon. I doubt that it went far, Tirandor won't want to
be too far from the action once he knows that I'm around. Nobody has heard
anything from Quention or Trevor either! From what I've seen, I'd say that
Trevor is busy trying to convince his friends in the UCAS not to recognize
the rebellion. I've got a little more ammo to send out to fan the fires in the
form of another short speech by Jacob Marcus. Tommy Harada may be in charge of
the military activity around here, but Marcus is the activist who inspired the
support of the locals. The message is coming soon to every public database I
can find. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ I have been informed that an underwater operative is in the area.
I
would request that you locate the Intrepid for us, I fear it may be taking up
a position from which it can shell us. Trilo(byte) I believe? Anything you
can do will be appreciated. In the next few days we will probably need your
services to cause confusion for us. Observe map grid reference <<encrypted>>
and note the vessels docked there. When the time is right, sink as many as
possible in as noisy and intimidating manner as possible. I will be in touch
again. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Scythe, Napalm and I have been busy looking for more spies. We
have a
complete set of DDI security personnel files, and are working on getting pre-
takeover MagnaTech personnel files. We're checking everyone against these
lists as well as the list of corrupted CIA agents. The problem with getting
the Magna list, according to DE, is the virus that went rampant through Magna's
system months ago, there's no telling what kind of damage it did to the info
we're looking for. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Sorry we didn't invite you along for our walking tour of the Omega
datafortress, we were in a rush. We'll be needing your decking expertise once
we're ready to do the job, you saw how much trouble NIghtstalker, DE, and I
had just going in to look around. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Don't worry, it will be easier next time. They may know we're
coming,
but I've got plenty of data on their system configuration, I'll be ready for
anything they can throw at me next time. I've got a few new adjustments to
the GNU programs to make, and I expect all of you to use them. Hell, they
may have incorporated some GNU code into their new IC, that would explain
why their IC is so tough. I won't even mention the copyright violation that
would constitute, but if I can prove anything, I'll see that it's FAXed to
Yohsida's lawyers. By the way, it's good to know that Mr. Yoshida is safe
again. I'd love to help track down the kidnappers, but Omega has priority now.

The Omega system should be off alert tomorrow, if we cram all night on this
virus, we should be ready to go by then. ]<<<<<
