>>>>>[ Herr Nightstalker, did I ever indicate that pursuit of these
corporate
devils would be a simple proposition? No. I said it involved convincing a
international law enforcement agency, or possibly an intelligence organization
of the validity of the information we have acquired regarding their activities.
Also, as to General Trevor, "clean as can be" is quite an erroneous description
of him. If any of the data accrued is an indication, the man is one of the
worst breed of criminal: that which operates above the law. Also, I feel your
description of the political repercussions of the removal of Trevor improbable.
Oftentimes in such cases, an executive officer removes a rogue element in his
government, it is often done all the while deploring the corrupt nature of said
official, such that the administration distances itself from him.
Tirandor may indeed be Draco Sapiens; however, a sentient mind, scaly skin,
and fiery breath doth not a saint make. Despite appearances, economic activity
does have rules and regulations regarding conduct, that is WHY there is a
Zurich Court. If he is found in violation of business precepts, I imagine that
the Court shall take a very dim view of those activities, even if they are
"just business", which is an inadequate excuse. Also, if there is connection
found between him and the criminal acts of his government, I believe the law
shall come calling in that regard as well.
Quention is a different case. Indeed, the man has proven himself quite adept
at avoiding legal pressure. It is also true he probably has already formulated
a contigency plan for this instance. Alternatively, the man has proven himself
quite ego-centric and arrogant in the past, and as such, I find it quite
unlikely that he would simply "run away". I would be quite surprised were we
not to see him again.
In terms of the Three in concert, hearken unto the fact that due to actions of
the shadowrunners on this list, including yourself, that we, together, have
successfully denied the Three what appeared to be quite a major undertaking,
e.g., the space launching platform. Moreover, they have been driven from a
very lucrative location, one where their business dealing could acquire the
stamp of legitimacy only a government possesses.
As to Germany's role in this, I believe you underestimate the resolve of my
people, or for that matter, those who would have those responsible for the
Tirandor Square Massacre or other atrocities brought to justice.
Also, as to the prosecution of the members of the former Omega Island
government, permit me to appraise you regarding events you yourself reported:
There are hardly any members of the Omega government left, compliments of
Quention and Trevor, I imagine. Their lifeless bodies were found in the
Cabinet assembly room. Admittedly, the corpses could be sent to jail, but that
would be rather pointless. The fact is that Quention, Tirandor, and Fung are
the last remaining officers of that subversive administration, and as such
there is precedent for pursuit. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ So, Tirandor's landed on top of the Yoshida Tech building--if we
guess
it's not just another illusion. I wonder what he wants? ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Not easy to say. Maybe he's still sore about Yoshida
out-maneuvering
him in the MagnaTech deal last year. That might also mean he was responsible
for the kidnaping. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Do you think he'll do to Yoshida what happened to MagnaTech?
