>>>>>[.....so let me get this straight: You took an item as partial payment
for
a, er, adventure into the Renraku arcology, which turned out to be not only
magickal, but sentient to boot, and basically everyone and their brother and
their bodyguards, deckers, ninjas, awakened critters, snarks, boojums, and
leprechauns have been trying to kill you since then. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ So you give the damn thing to a corporate research
department...]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ ...which turns out to be a front for a mafia family's holdings
recently
"acquired" by a dragon, and the curse on the item you were carrying around
started to affect the employees of that corp., and they think you know why.
Meanwhile, you've managed to trip over a conspiracy, quote, like the world
has never known...]<<<<<

>>>>>[ I still think that was part of th' curse. Those things don't, like,
wash
off that easy, y'know? ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Right. So your technician gets kidnapped and tortured, your decker
gets
liquefied trying to get him out, and you guys rip off the most advanced form of
transportation on the face of the planet, stopping only to wipe out the secret
society's HQ by causing the entire mountain they were in to erupt on
them.]<<<<<
--Vixen (14:41:02/09-18-93)

>>>>>[ Absolutely correct. In a nutshell. ]<<<<<
--Blindside (Now you see it.../...Now you don't)

>>>>>[ I would've had better odds with the avalanche.]<<<<<
