*****ENCRYPT:FociChips1***** >>>>>[Sorry I disappeared for a while but I
just couldn't stand to whatch you guys destroy my place. Besides, I needed
some quiet to check out these data chips. (Bunker, will you PLEASE clean
that up!)

First, both of these chips are Renraku Corp. stock. They could be
invlolved, could also not be. There is nothing in the data to indicate
either way.

One chip is simply a merchandise aquisition/sales history. These guys
deal in bloody everything spooky and collectable. There have even been a
few stolen museum pieces pass through that warehouse. They have buyers all
over the globe. The territory from which they 'acquire' the goodies is
just as expansive. Most of the items have a 'aquisition price' listed. All
those that do not were ALL "acquired" by the same agent. Someone by the
name of Arman Nuit, aka 'Statesman', aka 'Konjur', aka 'MERIT' !!!!!!
ATTENTION: re-read that last line! As I mentioned, there is no aquisition
price listed on any of these items, but they are all resold at quite a high
price. It would seem he handles only the top of the line trinkets. The
principle buyer of the trikets he acquires go two names, 'Kat Martinez' and
'Angel B.M.', both in Atzlan. He has many other buyers world round, but no
other names pop up with close to the frequency. There have also been buyers
at Aztechnology's Seattle H.Q. on two occaisions. Both times the items
were acquired in the city of Linao, New Mongolia, and both sold only to a
'Ms. Johnson'. There is also mention of an item listed as a Dragon motif
bracelet, acquired in Seattle. No buyer, or intended buyer, listed.

The second chip was quite interesting. It describes manufacturing methods
for creating "Custom Material No. 7". It seems they have discovered a
method of creating a packaging material that dampens the aura of the
trinkets for getting them through customs. The material consists of two
outer layers enclosing a gaseous core, made in both wrap and box form.
This is all in chemical compound jargon, so I am going to try to find
Millhaus's chemist friend Gryphon to see if he can make sense of it. It's a
little out of my territory. They use the material to pack everything they
ship, and considering the expense they go to to manufacture it, it must be
somewhat effective. I would guess that the "virus" encountered in Frisco
was actually the gaseous material in a closed ventilation system. To help
dampen the glow of the warehouse. The outer layers that enclose the gas in
the packing seem just as important. I would bet the walls of that
warehouse contain these materials as well. Let's hope Gryphon can shed
some light on this.

By the way, where the hell is KHANx?

Millhaus, are you coming over here?

I also stopped by FrateNay's while I was out. She was making a call across
the pond again and said she would be over her soon.]<<<<<
