Aztech Run that's went down, a few of my pals decided to enter
the Aztech Pyramid on the other side o' town, and play hunter/huntee
with one of their wage mages.
Anyways, I was cruisin' the data highway, and, ahem, stumbled over
Aztech's security log/data system. (Nasty ICE, if I may say so kiddies.)
What follows are some appropriated entries from said system...

drill, repeat, this is NOT a drill."

<Audio On>: "This is Lieutenant Commander Jason Downing, authorization code

They are most probably still in the complex. Be on alert."

>>>>>[ Secure Transmission from Iota Unit Leader to All Unit Leaders
<Audio On>: <gunfire> "We are in pursuit of one of the intruders,

sort of shimmering aura around him, and our bullets seem to have little
effect. <pause> We've got him. He just stopped dead in his tracks and-

<Audio On>: We've just come across the remains of Zeta Unit, in the

Gallagher's death is unknown at this time.

The rest of the entries just detailed the damage and the cleanup
process involved after the rest of the explosives went off, and all
kinds of other CorpCop jibberish. I now leave the true storytelling,
to Warlock and Company.
