>>>>>[ Hoi, chummers & chummettes! Sorry we were out of contact for
soo long,
but Jack, Sonic, and I had to go down to Texas to find some useless little
trinket for our fixer.

Still, when we get back, I still don't have any word from Doom. I hope he's
okay... ]<<<<<

himself. ]<<<<<

seeking to
do me injury? ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Right, Doom. Never mind about Hangtime--he's just high-strung.
What
have you been up to? ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Meine Kamaraden, I have just completed a most harrowing trek across
your great North American continent, the en route entertainment provided by the
UCAS Central Intelligence Agency, compliments of Roger Quention.

I was compelled to proceed overland due to my discovering the CIA agents
seeking to acquire me at Seattle's airport. During the next several days, I
engaged in a most dangerous game of "cat and mouse" with Quention's corrupt
associates. I generated the distinct impression they were under orders to
capture, as opposed to terminate, my person. On several occasions, there was
considerable gunplay involved as they attempted to confine me.

Arriving in Galveston, I managed to requisition a space on a freighter bound
for Germany, but disembarked via helicopter to New Orleans, my hope being that
they would pursue the other craft. I proceeded to journey to the Vaterland via
a decidedly different path, which the CIA apparently did not anticipate.

Aber, was ist passiert mit dem Schiff? When I touched-down in Berlin, I
received word that the freighter was intercepted in the Atlantic by forces of
the government of Omega Island, and apparently searched--which I expected.
However, whosoever was in command committed a most grievous breach of
international relations. Either acting under orders from Tirandor, or due to
loss of temper, the entire boat was destroyed. Not one of the 150 crew members
aboard survived.

I am not afraid to say I feel partially responsible. However, that aside, I
swear this act shall not go unpunished. ]<<<<<

No null time/date stamps? ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Hangtime, I have occupied my time running and concealing myself for
a
duration of not less than 12 days. I tire of that. Therefore, now that I am
beyond their grasp, it is my wish that they realize they failed in their
mission to destroy me; however, in their zeal to harm me, they decided to
execute 150 innocent civilians. I am quite infuriated at this dishonorable
act, and they should hearken unto the fact that retribution shall not be long
in its coming. ]<<<<<
