>>>>>[ NodeFaerie -- Identification on your Jade Dagger team. Pried
straight from the cold dead hands of ##DECKENCRYPT## who, unfortunately,
felt it the wiser of courses to try to withhold the information from me.

Sprite -- You're right on this one, a hermetic mage. Prefers illusions
and manipulations, or so Duke G tells me. Still is outright nasty in
magical combat, supposedly has combat-sensing spells and speed boosters
quickened on. Initiate, probably no higher than first rank.

Treant -- Also a hermetic mage; strongly preferential towards
transforming manipulations, hence the name. Be careful of elementals
around this one, as she is highly charismatic and never goes anywhere
without at least three earth elementals. She is believed to have an
allied spirit as well; unknown capabilities. Uninitiated.

Human #1 -- Known by the name 'Flicker'. Speed-boosted to maximum
potentials, and target-acquisition cyberware as well. Smartgun-linked,
custom sidearm and SMG are favored weapons. Boosted at ##CHIBACLINIC##,
which is where I finally tracked down the records.

Human #2 -- No name found. Facial comparisons suggest that the
individual previously ran the New York shadows under the name 'Firefly',
but no conclusive evidence can be found. 'Firefly' was, however, one
of NYC's better tinmen, excelling in close-in fighting. No obvious
cyberware; may be a physical adept.

I hope it helps; if it doesn't, you're going to have a hell of a time
making it .anywhere. alive. If you need assistance, drop a screamer
into the Matrix -- I'll keep an ear out.]<<<<<

>>>>>[People -- be careful about that 'friend of the family.' If he is
who I think he is, he has the kid's interest at heart about as much as
Aztechnology is enjoying relations with, say, the CAS. Which is to say,
nix. NightShade, drop me a line in ##NODEID## with what he looks like,
and I'll be able to tell you for sure.

If he is, you'll need backup -- wizbang backup. I know a couple of
people who might be able to help, (for the right price) and have a
certain vested interest in keeping your 'dracovampire' out of 'his'
hands. Duke G is only one.

Oh, and don't drop into Pharelyte's 'Father O'Malley' trap -- that
'Puyallup Parish Catholic Church' stuff is a front for a Mafia shop that
deals particularly with locks and other magical extortion. Give me
a call, I'll direct you to the goy they ripped the spell off of.]<<<<<

>>>>>[The Clearing House, Ltd., is looking for good deckers and hot
items. If you need something, come to us. If you got something, come
to us. If you wanna prove something, we'll make sure you ain't got
nothing TO prove by the end of the hour. Weapons, electronics, heavy
vehicles, information or creds, we can move it faster and further than
anybody you currently can contact. ##LTGCRYPT##, fixers only.

Deckers, if you're in-between runs and can use a little extra cash (and
who can't) but don't want to work for no pansy-legal corp pushing a
piss-poor deck, or would like to work out in ShadowLand but don't care
to volunteer, we might be able to use you. Find the Wyrm, and maybe
he'll think of interviewing you.]<<<<<
