night.
No difficulties. No guards even. The UCAS seems to want to wish it would go
away so they could do something else with the land. Major repairs needed to
internal electronics and mechanical operating dish motors. Minimum of 2 days
to "aquire" new motors and 1 day to make necessary repairs to electronics.
Guard set up and they have been cleared by Solitiare's lovely manipulation of
the UCAS private security firms. All on-site members are now officially
employees of Winter Security(thanks for the back doors everyone, from the
rescue) and the Techs are "private contractors." We are now unofficially legal
occupants of the building.

Now, Solitaire hasn't gotten any sleep for the last 3 days, and she really
needs some before she kills herself. AJ, that's my progress report on her and
the dishes.]<<<<<

be
time enough for sleep once Diana's safe. If you hadn't noticed, there's a
deadline here? Ya know?

Sorry AJ, but the boy's annoying the drek out of me... Progress report:
Sat Comm 2-wait a minute, better encrypt this...****Encrypt CTHULU_PROOF v3****
Sat Comm @********* co-op'd it just before it was sent up and then buried tha
fact in a glacier, if you get my meaning. I actually flatlined again gettin
the data, but I'm fine!!!! Don't need sleep...Got it yesterday when I was...
unconscious. It's still a normal Comm sat, but with an directed Nuke on board
designed to fry every non-hardened electrical device beneath it(except them
optical comps, but the interfaces are still old style in Seattle) in case of
Secession, which ain't likely to happen. But it also has enough thruster power
to move it all over the globe if necessary and some really sophisticated
jamming equipment to frag all comm in a rather large area, about 12km across.
Cover most of Downtown in the event of the drek hittin the fan. Should serve
our needs. Even has a self destruct(NOT the fraggin nuke) that re-aligns all
the thrusters and sends it off toward either deep space or the sun. But the
UCAS ain't gonna like our taking it from them....even if I rig it to look like
a micrometeroid impact caused a massive comp malf, causing it to "drift" and
then self destruct.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Do it, Solitaire, but get some sleep first. At least 12 hours. I
know
that system of yours, so I know it'll keep tracing leads and data threads on
its own. Set Moriarity infront of it. He knows enough to recognize when
something doesn't quite jive and wake you. And Moriarity, have whoever is stillthere tie
her down if necessary to keep her from decking for the next 12 hours.
Tranq her if necessary.

Progress reports noted.]<<<<<
