>>>>>[Hey there M. How's it goin? Got some info that Silver has on me in
relation to a certain professional assassin. As I don't want to get him in
any more trouble than he is already, here
*****Trace Attempt: The CHARIOTv3 Frame active....Trace Destroyed*****
...Huh? Ok, who the frag was that!?
With all the troubles you and I have been havin, that could have been almost
anybody... But back to the story... Here it is encrypted.

Seems that some dude by the name of Crimson Death and his friend Julie Electric
are either working for an assassin or are the actual assassins themselves, and
they're right interested in me in relation to Silver. Somehow they got wind of
our on-again-off-again relationship and decided to lure him WAY out to sea and
then jump him, which they did. Guess they shot up his Rigger gear and almost
fried his brain, but then asked him lots of questions. Guess they touched on
some "locked" subjects because they threatened to kill him with these subjects
if necessary. Even then he still only told them some stuff. I'd really like
you guys to scope these guys out and see just how nasty they are. You have
holes with shadows darker than the blackest cave at midnight that you can find
your way into, so go and dig. While I ain't too worried about myself, Silver
doesn't seem to want me to get hurt.

Oh, by the way, before they started askin the questions and WAY before they
knocked him out, Silver breathed on the guy. He didn't enjoy it one bit, but
didn't fall either, and we all know how bad Silver's breath is...]<<<<<

>>>>>[We'll go digging, Solitaire. But I suggest that you return here to
Central as soon as you are able to do so. We can better protect you and the
Boss's investment in you, may he rest in peace... But Jodie Electric seemed to
be really surprised that he had gotten back so fast. How'd he pull it off if
they disabled the Commander?]<<<<<

>>>>>[It was rather ingenious, even if he wouldn't say so himself(a Troll
with
no ego? Still one of his more attractive attributes...). He ripped up and
sewed a lot of his clothing together into a makeshift sail, jury-rigged a mast
and boom, and sailed her after fixing the guidance system. This way he was
making progress towards home even while he was working on getting the engine
up and running. And having had to rebuild bullet damaged engines in the
Carib for like 15 years gives one the knowhow to do it rather quickly. He even
mentioned that they did more damage than most.]<<<<<
