>>>>>[DianeZE -- I didn't .say. that TCH would buy stock. I just said
that y'all'd be working for us. Incidentally, is that bond in a single
note? I.e., are you looking for a solo supporter for OptiClash, or no?
I may try to persuade my..... superiors (all two of them) into buying
a sizable portion of that bond.

The Aguilar-EX should not have had the gyro imprecisions; however, as
you point out, it may have been affected adversely by the combat it had
experienced. I am not surprised that the fuel efficiency has been
lowered; Aztlan never likes its opponents outflying its own. Consider,
though, the fact that its obvious combat experience may well suggest to
others that it is the best machine -- and, thus, you will be able to
charge more for its usage in your games. Also considering that the
underchin HMG is yet included in the machine, I think we can let it go
for a mere 4.2 million.

How many Dragons? And what setup? I'm assuming a combat variant.
Also, would you be interested in any Hughes Stallions, or maybe a few of
Northrup's latest WaspII's? An ambitious gentleman in CalFree seems to
have misdirected a set of six, but cannot collect anymore... his friends
grieve over his misfortune, but are taking advantage of the windfall he
had created.

Hughes Stallion, combat variant, remote-turret underfuselage mounted
twin light rotary machine guns, 950k. Ares Dragon, long-range combat
variant, twin underchin HMG turrets plus triple flexible hardpoints
underbelly, 1.25m. Short-range combat variant, fixed fan-mounted SMG
hardpoints (10, 5/side), 1.3m. Northrup WaspII, underchin turret w/MMG,
boosted handling, (for city flying, you understand) 750k.

Your HMG turret-mounteds should be arriving within the hour. 20, I
believe you ordered? Oh yes, and one of my superiors wishes to know if
you'd care to acquire some of the liquid-crystal matrixcomputers of Crystech's
instead of the 'boring old optichips' you've got now. (His words, not mine.)
Contact us as usual.]<<<<<
