*****Private: Quickling

along with my team. You know about payment. Everything will be fine.
Meet you at the track.]<<<<<
-- RedWing <19:46:14/04-30-55>

*****Private: RedWing
>>>>>[Alright. You'll get payed as requested. And don't mail me
here...thanks.]<<<<<
-- Quickling <19:46:54/04-30-55>

*****Private: Quickling
>>>>>[Assembling quite an army, aren't we Quickling? What exactly are
you doing with this army?]<<<<<
-- Hack <No T/D>


*****Private: Hack
>>>>>[FRAG OFF.]<<<<<
-- Quickling <19:47:52/04-30-55>

*****Private: Quickling
>>>>>[Interesting...you're really worried about this, aren't you? What
could you be doing that is so important...]<<<<<
-- Hack <No T/D>

*****Private: Hack
>>>>>[I said FRAG OFF. And I mean it. Get away from
me.]<<<<<
-- Quickling <19:48:59/04-30-55>

*****Private: Quickling
>>>>>[And how do you think you're going to be able to make me, Lady
Quickling?]<<<<<
-- Hack <No T/D>

*****Private: Hack
>>>>>[What do you want? Anonymous tips that you're letting me go in? I
can find a way.]<<<<<
-- Quickling <19:49:35/04-30-55>

*****Private: Quickling
>>>>>[You're going in? You're dropping more than I thought, Quickling.

Why are you going in?]<<<<<
-- Hack <No T/D>

*****Private: Hack
>>>>>[FRAG OFF NOW.]<<<<<
-- Quickling <19:52:00/04-30-55>

*****Private: Quickling
>>>>>[Quickling, the only reason I can think of to go in is to kill me.
If you can't guess, I don't like the thought.

Tell me, why shouldn't I just kill you now?]<<<<<
-- Hack <No T/D>

*****Private: Hack
>>>>>[You don't want to kill me off. You've already said so. And I
don't want to kill you anyway.

You want to know the fragging truth? It's Solonus. You saw him.
Solonus' father died. Shot down, probably by your boss. And all for
some information, which YOU are guarding.]<<<<<
-- Quickling <19:53:54/04-30-55>

*****Private: Quickling
>>>>>[Interesting. So you have a real reason then.

Quickling, I may have a proposition for you then. I understand much
more clearly now.]<<<<<
-- Hack <No T/D>

*****Private: Hack
>>>>>[Frag off. I don't trust you.]<<<<<
-- Quickling <19:56:14/04-30-55>

*****Private: Quickling
>>>>>[Ah, but you might appreciate this.

I have the information you want. I can give it to you, and destroy the
original. And I can help you out on the rest of what you want to do.
And you won't trust me...]<<<<<
-- Hack <No T/D>

*****Private: Hack
>>>>>[And what do you want? To kill off your boss so you can take over?
To kill off some rival decker? To give you massive money?]<<<<<
-- Quickling <19:57:19/04-30-55>

*****Private: Quickling
*****Engaging: Private Talk <BlackWater Encryption Enabled>
>>>>>[Quickling, if you tell anyone else of what is going on here, I
will kill you, and all of your friends. One by one. And quite
painfully.

Now, I will tell you what I want. I want you to get me out of this
fragging corporation. I want to be free of the security, both matrix
and physical. You have no idea what I had to do to manage to write this
program to make them think that I was continuing my job as I am writing
this message. I want OUT. I want OUT of this life.

If you are willing to get me out of here, I can help you. I can change
security patrols, I can get you your information, I can get the
originals burned, or accidently destroyed. I can even give you money.

You're the only one who has ever beaten me, Quickling. For that I
respect you. And I need your help to get me out of here.]<<<<<

happened?]<<<<<
-- Quickling <20:04:40/04-30-55>

*****Private: Quickling
>>>>>[My program is suppressing my name. I may as well not exist. I am
still getting your messages, but I am not recorded as such.]<<<<<

*****Private: Hack
*****Warning: Target does not exist*****
>>>>>[You're really paranoid about this aren't you?

Anyway, you really want out? I can get you out. But you're going to
have to help me, and you're going to have to meet me in person. I will
not make this deal only over this line.]<<<<<
-- Quickling <20:07:49/04-30-55>

*****Private: Quickling
>>>>>[As I have told you, I am going to have a very hard time getting
anywhere.]<<<<<

*****Private: Hack
*****Warning: Target does not exist*****
>>>>>[Then no deal.]<<<<<
-- Quickling <20:09:20/04-30-55>

*****Private: Quickling
>>>>>[What do you want? Money? I can give you plenty of money.

I will attempt to meet you, but it will have to be on Yamatetsu ground.
Meet me at >>ENCRYPTED<< in two hours and we will discuss the details.
We will have approximately 10 minutes. Come alone, and unarmed.]<<<<<

I will meet you there.]<<<<<
