*****Encrypt Red/Nightshade/Spice MPCPs*****
>>>>>[Here's what I got on Agrigen's physical security. I've compiled
an extensive report on the physical aspects, and have also included
any information that I've deemed important. Agrigen Corporation
maintains two locations in Seattle, both are in the Bellevue
district: the Agrigen Coporate Tower and Agrigen Research Complex.
I've included summaries of my investigations pertaining to both
places as well as the actual security numbers.

The Agrigen Corporate Tower is located in downtwon Bellevue. This
fifty story building is where all of Agrigen's administrative and
business dealings take place. Very little research goes here, only
the 31st floor is designated as a research area. Every Agrigen
executive maintains an office at this building except for Samantha
Carter, the Head of Experimental Research (more to follow).

The Agrigen Rsearch Complex is also in Bellevue, but far away from
the crowded downtown. It is at ***Location*** and is 4.7 acres big;
it has ten stories and "officially" has four sublevels (more to
follow). This is where almost all of Agrigen's research and
experimentation occurs. There is currently 42 projects taking place
at ARC, but only three are worth taking notice of:

Project 32458: Development of Experimental Growth Hormones
Project 32556: Effects of Magic on Cloning
Project FELIX: (Topic Unknown)

This last project is extremely interesting. I found mention of the
project only three times during my very extensive search of Agrigen's
databanks. It is mentioned in the first quarter budget report of this
year very briefly. Basically after sorting through all the
bureacratic drek, it is granted unlimited funding to be determined by
Samantha Carter. There is no mention of Project FELIX in any update
report to the CEO, or any other budget report prior to the 1st
quarter 54 report. The second time I came across Project FELIX was in
the security rating summation file. This file lists all the projects
and who is cleared for them. This project has a AA rating. The
interesting thing is the Agrigen security scale only goes from A-J,
with A being the highest. At first I thought that this would be
questioned by other people the the corporation (i.e. "What the hell
is this project and why doesn't the head of finance know about it?").
Well, the security summation file is sent out to every executive, no
matter how insignificant, at the beginning of every week along with
summaries of projects that each executive is cleared for. This is
done via a program in Agrigen's system. Project FELIX because it has
a AA security rating is ignored by the system and not included. The
only people who know about this project is the CEO, Carter, and
whoever is working directly on it. The third time I came across
Project FELIX was pure luck. I ran a program of my own on Agrigen's
main databanks that extracts traces of erased files that are still
lingering and attempts to reconstruct the files. It is a very
complicated and laborous program, but in this case it helped. Of
course, there is only a chance (and a small one at that) of
recovering deleted filed within the first 48 hours of the file being
deleted. Anyway, the file contained an inventory request for
alpha-grade environmental protection suits. The important part of
this recover file is that the suits were to be delivered to sublevel
5. That's right level 5, when there's only supposed to be 4. It
appears that when Agrigen Corporation contracted to have this complex
built (by Armando Engineering Corporation), the agreement only
included 4 sublevels. This could be considered a typo, but there are
other indications that a fifth sublevel does exist and that not only
is there big time research going on, but that Agrigen's higher level
cold storage facilities are located down there. That's where all the
goodies are.

Security Report:

Agrigen Corporate Tower
-----------------------
Security Personnel (0600-1400): 80
(1400-2200): 80
(2200-0600): 55

Physical Security Measures: Cameras cover all areas, vibration alarms
on all windows, retina scanners on all executive and security level E
areas and above, laser alarm grids on key locations(*)
(*) Laser grids are activated at 2200 and deactivated at 0600
All alarms are linked to the nearest Lone Star station

Physical Protective/Sentry Resources: Modified Hughes Stallion
rotorcraft on 5 minute alert at all times (schematics included
below). Security personnel patrol every corridor and hall including
research areas and "public" areas. The only areas not patrolled are
individual offices. The security log indicates patrols are timed to
three mintue intervals. There are twenty guards patrolling
constantly, calling in to the central security office every time a
floor has been patrolled (approx. 1 minute between reports). Three
wage mages on the premises at all times (one astrally patrolling). No
paranormal or drones are used for security purposes.

***Include Agrigen Corporate Tower Blueprints***

Agrigen Research Complex
------------------------
Security Personnel (24 hours): 125

Physical Security Measures: All of the Tower's security measures,
heat monitors (measures changes in temperature i.e. body heat),
electronic impulse monitor (i.e. short range radio broadcasts,
low-light goggles, basically anything that is not effectively EMP
shielded), powerful microphones are also sporadically placed
throughout the more secure areas (indicated on blueprints)

Physical Protective/Sentry Resources: Modified Hughes Stallion (same
schematics as the Tower's), Six off-road motorcycles (modified), six
trained barghest that patrol the inner grounds between 2400 and 0400,
electrified reinforced seven meter fence (probably more akin to a
wall), three wage mages on the premises at all times (one astrally
patrolling), two armed dalmation drones on 2 minute alert at all
times.

***Include Agrigen Research Complex Blueprints***
***Include Vehicle Schematics***
***Include Standard Security Guard and Wage Mage Skill
Requirements***

There's my report. I've inlcude Agrigen's requirements to become a
security guard and wage mage. This also inlcudes standard equipment
loads. The wage mages seem skilled in banishing spirits and
elementals as well as the containment of toxic elements (of course,
Agrigen is a major chemical researcher). Keep me updated.]<<<<<

The mages Y'rian and L'rial were blinded before they were killed. The
weapon foci each owned were piercing their hearts and embedded in their
spines.

The physical adept Freemont had both of his arms broken in three different
places on each arm, and his legs as well. From the nails on his fingers,
we found dirt which indicateds he tried to crawl away.

It is my recommendation that your...I mean our business with Journey

Solarial, nor were my actions dependent upon threat of Punch's death. My
associates picked her up upon my orders, questioned her, repaired the damage
they had caused to her vehicle(and a nice vehicle it is, I am told), and have
just recently turned her loose in Downtown Denver. There were no drugs or
torture involved, as I am sure her Lord Knight friends are well aware through
thier extensive magical links to her. She was knocked unconscious, remained
such through the drive to Central, where her friends attempted to contact her
and locate her through thier links. Moriarity informed me that their first
attempt was nearly successful and that three of our mages were severly injured
in the stoping. So we moved her to a safehouse, questioned her about her
involvement with Shockwave/Wyrm, and then turned her free after getting
absolutely nothing from her.

It was a VERY long shot. But I wonder if you would have done anything
different in my situation. And as the Wyrm can certainly tell you, she is
alive and totally unharmed, without any bugs on her at all, with no astral
trackers on her at all, and I am sure that her friends can verify that we took
no tissue samples for future links. I and my friends are not barbarians. I
guaranteed her safety and she is safe, on her own again, and not any worse for

not had her tracked everywhere she goes and everything she does. She is not

I acknowledge this. Solarial also plays better than I, but not by so much.
However, this is a game of life and death, the Ultimate Game, and this chess
game has no rules to break. I have not switched sides so much as added a third
player. And this player is precisely one square away from winning, Wyrm.

Hmm, this isn't perfect, but I'd say that at 'midlife' (which varies by
species), add one to Intelligence and Willpower and Charisma, and
subtract one from Quickness and Strength.

Body may go down, depending on what they do (I've met many 50+ year old
Highway Patrol officers who were tough, leathery, and could beat the tar
out of anybody . Well, except for Arnie, than it would be a tossup)

As I said, not perfect, but that's my first instinct.

Oh well, guess your going have to put up with the techinical difficulties.

**** transmitting video ****
Shadowfox opens the door, to only find (aren't you just a little surprised)
Bruce and Karl.

Shadowfox (cooly): Well drek, this is a surprise.
Bruce (neutrally): Shadowfox, it has been a long time. (he looks around the
room. Seems a little surprised by something, almost blanches when he sees the
cyber-arm) Oh frag. I am sorry Blitzkrieg. (shakes hands with Shadowfox)
May I come in Shadowfox, or should I and my friend just stand here in the
doorway.
Shadowfox (still cooly): I'm sorry, I'm still sort of out of it. Please come
in. (shakes hands with Karl).
Bruce and Karl sit down. If you invision the room as a square clock. At 6
would be where the bed is. At 7 would be where the guitar and the sword are.
At 8 would be Bruce (in a chair now). At 9 would be Shadowfox. At 10 would be
the door. At 12 is where Karl is sitting. At 2 is an annoyed Gawk, who hasn't
quite figured out who the other two are. At 3, keeping a close watch on Gawk
is Phoenix. At 4.5 is where WHAT is sitting. He's giving the new arrivals a
very hard stare, but with a show of confusion playing across his face.

Shadowfox: Well since I know everyone, let me start introducing people.
He takes a few seconds, pointing out who is who. (without introducing Karl or
Bruce)
Karl: I am Karl. I became aware of some of you when you were in Berlin. I
was the one who took it on my shoulders to get Blitzkrieg out of Berlin, and
get him some healing. If I had known what was going on sooner, I would have
tried my best to help you out. But I didn't. Only after Blitzkrieg stole the
sword, did I become aware of how much danger you were in. . . *sigh* I wish I
could have helped sooner.
Blitzkrieg: *sigh sadly* I may not be thrilled with the new arm, or the fact
that I even needed one, but I am eternally grateful that you were there. If
not I would be dead. . . and . . . *shudder*
Firewraith (hugs Blitzkrieg): I would probably doing something I would really
be regretting right about now. We both thank you for what you did.

(this has seemed to confuse Karl abit)
Karl: You have . . . I mean. . . ughhhhh . . . you choose to stay with him,
even though he. . . Frag I don't know how to say it.
Firewraith: All things aren't as they seem. I have no true regrets about my
choice so far.
(Blitzkrieg smile weakily)

Bruce (hmmmmms a little): I am Bruce. (that immediately gets a lunge from
Gawk as soon as the words sink in. Phoenix, expecting as much, tackles Gawk,
and they both go crashing to the floor. WHAT starts to use this opportunity
to get closer to him, and perhaps give him a new appreciation for life, but
stops as fire starts to dance wildly around Firewraith's. She says: "Don't
make me hurt you WHAT." WHAT grimaces and sits down.) Let me finish, young
ork. I don't know why you hate me. I don't even know who the frag you are
except for some name. I do know that something has gone wrong, by the fact
that we are all here now. Before you go attacking me, I want to know what my
charges are!
WHAT: YOU DON'T KNOW 'OW MUCH WE'VE BEEN THROUGH 'CAUSE OF YOU, SPLITTA!!!!!
Gawk: Crystal died because of you. Blitzkrieg got a wiz new arm, because
the other one got blown off, in connection to you. (Blitzkrieg and Bruce
cringe at that one)
Firewraith (acidly): Interesting what you feel in connection to Crystal, and
your actions towards me.
Gawk blanches. Phoenix smirks a little, and throws Gawk back into his chair,
almost breaking it, and then sits down next to Gawk. Gawk focuses his anger
at Phoenix, and pops his spurs. Phoenix, in response mouths the words (you
think something along the lines of: "Go ahead and see what happens.")
Shadowfox: I wouldn't suggest that Gawk. It will force you to be removed from
this discussion. If you have a problem with people either take it out
non-violently here, or wait for another opportunity. Do I make myself clear?
Gawk (grumbling angerly): Yeah Yeah Yeah...


Bruce *sighs*: Maybe we should start at the beginning of all this and things
may be will become clearer.
Shadowfox: Perhaps you are right. I suppose the story starts with Doomsday
and I. I was sort of unofficially helping out Doomsday with a job that
apparently involved an elven prince. He, trying to stop Doomsday and the
others from interfering on his plans, took a friend Midnight, as a hostage.
Midnight, eventually died in his hands, when it became clear that the hostage
route wasn't going to work. In addition an assasin took out some other
friends of ours. In the middle of all this, I got into a huge fight with Doc
Jones. For the record, this was in June.
{pauses for a moment to take off his jacket. Everybody else takes his cue and
does the same.}

Shadowfox sighs and continues: So I decided that I would need help to find out
where she disappeared to soon after. Since Phoenix was unemployed, he
volunteered for the job. (Phoenix nods thoughtfully) Phoenix and I did some
digging, and found out that you (points at Bruce) were doing something through
MIT&M and thought that maybe you knew something. So Phoenix took off to
Boston, to check out that end, and I started another job, to try and raise
money for the need to hire others, because I didn't feel confident about our
chances to find her on our own. I was running other jobs all the while, and
have just gotten here to Rome.

Phoenix: At Boston, I did some ground work, and then pulled a small run into
MIT&M. It failed miserably. So I figured that I would need more help on this
one. I made a call for help, and Blitzkrieg, Gawk, WHAT, and eventually
Firewraith joined us in Boston. Before Firewraith joined though we did
another run against MIT&M. I made my own way in. . .
Gawk: Yeah, how the hell did you do that anyway?
Phoenix (sighs): Well, I knew the route you would be taking in, and I sort of
knew the layout of where we all wanted to go. I just conviently, borrowed a
janitorial job. Nobody thought anything of it. I was amazed. Apparently,
nobody thinks anything of janitors anymore.
Blitzkrieg: You had help didn't you to pull off that disguise.
Phoenix: Yes I did, but I really can't say what the help was. I still sort
of owe them one job. Which I am not looking forward to.
Shadowfox nods thoughtfully.

***** Transmission halted. Techinical feedback detected.

DAMN!!!! I thought this piece of junk was fixed. We should just invest in a
new piece of tech. *SIGH* Be back as soon as we get this running
again.]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Well looke at this, Solarial seemed ta be getting more trops in from
his
friends, well he will need it considering that the Peace Force is up and
leaving. From what Ah can see from the reports and Ah quote "The Peace Force
has better things to do than to protect some paranoid noble for more than a
week. This same noble also seems to have his own security and help from
friendly sources, some of whom it seems may not be in the Tir legally. As to a
threat to him, we have yet to see one. If there existed any threat, it would
come from people he has made enemies of in the nation and the repercusions would
be political not military. Further more, the Peace Force is NOT the military,
we are the constabular, here to up hold the laws of the land. We are not here
to be used in Political battles by paranoid Nobles. Also a warning to you
Prince Solarial, we had better not find out that you are harboring ANY illegal
aliens on your premise."

Well it looks like the Law has gotten annoyed at our Prince. He has been
abusing his power and it has come back at him. Of course, this is no to say
that he doesn't have defenses, just less than before. It will also look bad on
him for mis-using the public police force, and will probably hurt him
poitically. Boy would Ah like for the Peace Force ta find illegal aliens on his
property, Diana is one and so are ALL of Dorians people and Dorian himself.
Maybe Ah should send them a little public call from a concerned citizen.

Another interesting tid bit is that Prince Solarial was NOT the first in line.
NOt only does he have an older brother, but also an older sister and they were
BOTH in line for the inheritance before him. Of course they seemed to have LEFT
the Tir. Ah personally would suspect nothing, Ah mean Solarial would not do
anything thing like threatening his sis and bro. We all know how 'honorable' he
is and that he would never do something like this ta gain power. And Ah KNOW
they must still be alive, since he places so much value on other peoples lives.
Didn't he say that Diana would come to no harm as long as people went after, Ah
mean killed, Wyrm? Ah really don't believe he would keep with his threats ta
kill her on Sunday, he just doesn't seem to be the type, no matter all the
little hints ta the number of people that have gotten in his way and died.

By the way Linaus, after this is over will we be able to meet your mother, no
not the woman married ta your father, but the one who gave birth ta ya. Was
she some kitchen maid? And will we also get ta meet your brother and sister?
How's about I find out where they are and set up ah little nice family reunion?
Ah have already started lookin, Ah had most of this info by the weekend, but Ah
wanted ta save it till some of the other big things that were brewing came ta a
fore. Ya also should keep better watch on your files, the NetWatch can't always
be there there for them.

with reinforcements for the individuals not fit to have been called my Corsairs.They would
not have let themselves be caught off guard like that if they were
truly Corsairs. And Journey will not dare attack me personally. I almost
destroyed him once, and even a sniper rifle won't penetrate the helicoptor,
nor is it likely that he can muster enough energy to damage us with magic or
spirits. I shall arrive in the morning, Solarial, with the rest of my true

down by dragonfire before I could get a shot off. Whiskers tried to spell it,

Wyrm bring his extensive skills to bear on me. And should something go wrong
in the next day or two, consider these my last requests.

*****Encrypt Buzz: I suspect that Solarial will free Diana after the Wyrm's
death has been proven to him by whatever means he desires, especially his head
on a lance. However, he needs to be taught a lesson not to mess with our kind
so easily and be able to get away with it. Even if Diana is released, and
especially if she isn't, hit the estate in the Sierras. Moriarity has 4 FAEs
left from the batch that we used to destroy the old New Orleans HQ after The
Boy and Slide broke it. They should do the job nicely. Let Diana decide
Solarial's fate. She is cold and a real slitch from time to time, but maybe
she'll be merciful. If not, that's her affair. But regardless, the estate
should be reduced to rubble and smoking charred forest. I am sorry for the
damage to the forest that will occur, but the lesson we can send to Solarial if
he survives, and to Etsy and Dorian and all who mess with the shadows as they
would little children must be obvious. You play hardball with us, you get
burned. Do what you need to, but the decision on Solarial's fate is Diana's
if I don't come back from this.**End Encrypt*****

Valentine: I know you probably hate me for what I did with Punch, and I don't
blame you if you do. But I will do almost anything for Diana, just as you
would for your wards. We are very much alike in that. It's just that your
age has given you a perspective that I have only begun to appreciate. And
every time I try to get out permanently, something happens to suck me back in
again. Well, after this I get a rest one way or another, don't I, old friend.

Wizard: Good luck on your new designs. Try not to be so arrogant. You can
never be exactly on the tech curve, but Collussus is closer than most. Try to
be more like him with your knowledge. He knows that there is always someone
better or faster and it keeps him humble...well, humbler than you are sometimes.
Little Dragon: Don't get into this line of work, kiddo. It'll eat you up and
kill you eventually. You have a right to your own decision, and I won't take
that away from you, but just don't go and do anything rash. Make whatever
decision you make with your eyes wide open after seeing what there is to see
of the shadows. And Val, don't hide him from it. The more you do that, the
more he wants to run.

Well, that's about it. Hope to see you all soon under much happier
circumstances.]<<<<<

means that PH is working for Jules, and I don't like the sound of that, come
to think of it, I fragging can't believe it. Not after that mother Jules was
involved in the death of PH's parents. Something fragging big is going on
down here chummers and I mean to find out what the frag it is.

Highlander are you in ? Got you're personal mail earlier, meet me in the
virtual bar and we'll discuss tactics. I think I need to make another big
hit against Jules' system again and he's really started to beef up the
fragging IC, I think he may have hired a couple of freelancers as well to
keep tabs on his system for him. I saw Tiger earlier, he never saw me, but
then again Tiger was never that good even when he worked the Seattle circuit.

freetrader chummers alerted me to it. Jules' place was hit by missile fire
from a hyrdrofoil just off the coast. Looks like Carlos' payback squad have
just hit for the death of his nephew. Early indications on the rumour mill
say that Jules is mad, I mean really mad. Looks like we may be getting a
small war brewing bewteen these two warlords.

The only other rumor I heard was that Jules' top mage, the Puppet Master as
we call him wasn't on the residence at the time. If he was it may have been
the extra firepower that the resident houngans needed to couteract that on
the hyrdofoil. The word out is there's a price on the Puppet Master's head
but only if you can bring him back alive. Seems Jules' still realises that
this chummer is one vauluable asset. ]<<<<<

a team of grunts was seen going into one of the seedier bars on Jamaica that
is known to belong to Carlos. 15 dead I think the count was and the bar needs
some major work done on it before it can be used again. The police are trying
to hush things up a bit, seems they realise that open warfare could start at
any time between these two parties and they don't want the public to find out
about it. ]<<<<<

brother, but I've been working my ass off digging through obscure
archives in the Tir net. I didn't think you'd want posts that told
you nothing, so I postponed contacting you until I had actually found
something. And I have.

It appears that according to the Tir's census files, Nathaniel and
Tiana Solarial are not listed as living anywhere in the boudaries of
Tir Tairgnire. This means that, either they are hiding in the Tir, or
they have left unnoticed. They are still citizens of Tir though, that
much was confirmed through a simple legitamite query. Also, and this
is the big one, both Nathiel and Tiana are older than Linaus
Solarial. And of course you know what that means...he was not the
original heir to House Solarial.

I'm continuing my search, but unfortunately I think this gong to take
many long and illegal hours. If they are hiding in Tir, I suspect
that their location(s) would be known, so the only other alternative
is that they left Tir (under threat from Solarial?). Nathaniel and
Tiana do have their own resources and interests scattered about
Europe and Asia. This is where I will be concentrating my search. I
will contact you again in a couple of days.]<<<<<
