>>>>>[ Say did someone metion the Indigo Nights a few weeks ago? The last
I heard of them they were involved in some big dustup over at Trump HQ last
year. I haven't really heard of them since. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Y'know DE, I'm just glad that Quention isn't headed for Atlanta!
I'd rather not be reminded of that fiasco! ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Then how come you keep bringing it up? I think you kinda enjoyed
being strapped down in a corp interrogation room and being forced to watch
reruns of the old flat "the magic garden" for 72 hours straight while being
fed from a baby bottle! Those guys down at Southern Belle Inc. have strange
ideas about interrogation! ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ ARRRRRRGGGGHHHHH! That's it, I'm coming over to your place with
a really big gun!!! ]<<<<<
-- Big Jake <15:23:54/04-29-54>

>>>>>[ Now boys, no need to fight, that was a long time ago! Besides
OddBall,
if I recall correctly, they made you wear a diaper while some guy dressed like
Barney the Purple dinosaur sang children's songs to you, and you did like it!
They threatened to run you up the flagpole with "Riggers have small penises"
tattooed on your chest. They would have done it if I didn't show up with
Grimjaw and Ripcord to save your butts! ]<<<<<
-- Dark Elf <15:31:54/04-29-54>

>>>>>[ OK, I guess we should just drop it, that was embarrasing for all of
us.
Hey DE, whatever happened to Grimjaw and Ripcord anyway? They just kinda went
they're seperate ways after that run. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ They went back to Seattle after that. They tried to talk me into
going back with them, to work with the old team again. I considered it, but
I had to get on with my life, Seattle was just a place I went to run away
from my problems. I still miss those guys, Grimjaw, Ripcord, Whip, Zulu, and
Alexis. They were an interesting bunch. Well, I guess I managed to put
together a team that's a bigger bunch of lunatics! Y'know, back then, I was
the only one on the team that remembered to take notes when meeting with
contacts! They set up one job without me, a simple retrieval, a cybered Dwarf
escaped and Mitsushama wanted him back. Well, we did the job, and had to
hunt for him in the tunnels under renraku and bring him to the docks for
dropoff. Well, we got to the docks an the others forgot which ship we were
supposed to bring him to. The Dwarf had a DocWagon Platnium Contract, so
an HTR team was closing in on the cab we hijacked while they were arguing
about what the password was.

The HTR team was about three blocks away when we unloaded from the cab.
Grimjaw said somthing like "oh drek not again" and got ready to fight while
I slipped the Doc Wagon bracelet off the wounded dwarf and threw it in the
back of the cab. I pulled my Predator and tipped the cabbie a 200 Y if he'd
leave real fast. While the others were still taking defensive positions and
checking weapons, I simply laughed as the cab pulled away. The HTR van sped
right by us and went after the long gone cab. Finally Grimjaw told me to
shut up and said we could've taken them. The next 10 minutes were hilarious!

We went down the docks (keep in mind at this point I didn't even know who our
employers were, I wasn't fully briefed) Anyway, we dragged the Dwarf to the
first ship and gave the codeword to the guard. The guard said "what the Frag
does Dragon's Den want with a beat up dwarf!" I gave Grimjaw that look, and sai
d "Didn't you say this was the place", to which he said "Frag, I guess I
forgot
which one it is!". That was my first contact with DDI, never did I know what
a pain in the ass they'd become. Finally whip said "hey, I thought Mitsu wante
d him" so rather than run up and down the docks firing shots into the air
yelling "who ordered a dwarf", we did the only thing that made sense, we went
to the ship with the mitsushama emblem on it. Needless to say I chewed out
my teamates for forgetting to take notes when meeting with contacts! Since
then they never set up a job without me and my handy Pocket Secretary!

I thought only amatures screwed up like that! I don't feel so bad about
Atlanta now! At least then we got caught fair and square! ]<<<<<
