>>>>>[ Hello, all. I'm running a real-time transmission from the cellular
in Blindside's limo, partly in case anything happens to us, but largely to
record the event for Kaneda's benefit (He's going to be so hacked-off that
he missed this...).

Zero & his team joined Blindside, Ralph, Ticktock, and I at a bar in
Kenmore, and we all headed out about 1:30 in the morning with a few
stragglers from the X-Calibers. We entered Razorhead turf a little before
1:45

All quiet, no sign of the fraggers. Patching into sattelite nets now.

Got it! According to this Earthscan V.0 there's a large heat source out to
the west that doesn't correspond with any registered heavy industry.

Even if everyone wasn't using IR, the bonfire they built would be visible
from here; they torched an old house or something.
Their security is nonexistent so far. We're going in.

Looks like we caught them with their pants down--literally in some cases.
Zero's crusing ahead and--DREK! WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?!?
They mined the manholes with something nasty--the side of Zero's hover is
blazing, I can't see--Ralph, I though you said you could drive this thing!
Now Ticktock has popped the sunroof and is dropping grenades through the
shattered windows of the houses at either side...Blindside collapsed in the
back with a pained expression on his face--must be fighting something
astral--what th'! fffffffffffffffffffffft--

fffffffffffffmaking our first pass, too late to back out now. Blindside's
got things under control but he's looking scorched after that fire
elemental manifested on him, with the help of Catch-22's elementals he beat
whoever it was off. looks like zeros left-side skirts are a little melted,
he's listing--hard to hear anything over the thunder of those vindicators,
and pieces of biker and bike spraying all over the place. Watch it! That
guy's got a<SHRAKT> Oooh, that looked like it hurt. Zero's got a nice laser
burn on his hood to match the left side now...Waitasec, where'd she come
from? Dancer just appeared and took off the guy's arm, Steel Stringer's
right behind her dropping a few more<SHRAKT> Drek! More lasers! just a
sec...

Ralph just sideswiped the last of the bikes and Ticktock opened the door
for our people on the ground, who piled in on top of Blindside. We took a
few hits, but the armor's still holding...We leave long tracks of rubber as
Ralph puts the engine into overdrive and we are out of there! Yes! Zero
calls in--his hover limped off to the south but they say they'll meet us at
the rendezvous on time... ]<<<<<
