>>>>>[ I have a position still open for a mage or shaman for anyone who
doesn't
mind taking risks, taking orders and wants to earn 50 K.

You must have knowledge of healing spells, sleep spells, invisibility and
levitation spells. If you lack only one of those then I can still take you.
You must also be able to hold your own in astral space.

***** PRIVATE Highlander, WHAT
>>>>>[ Highlander ! WHAT ! Great I'm glad you both volunteered, things are
easier when you're working with people you know, it's not going to be easy by
any stretch though.

The target is Gallean and possibly a man called Watkins, I might be able to pull
off the Watkins business by myself. In case you're wondering about why we're
going after Gallean well IBA has definate information that it was him that
bought the hit beasts you know the Tiger Shapeshifter that attacked myself
and Cerise and the Troll that killed Fenris.

Well if this wasn't enough to be going with Gallean has been shielding Ganz,
I've eliminated most of Ganz's contacts up to press I have just two more that
I know of. I'll try and deal with Watkins personally, he's not *that* big a
fish, got a position on the board of commerce and has a position on Seattle
council, one of the whiter than white smile brigade. Believe me nobody will
miss him except those that are toadying behind him or for him.

Gallean though lives in a virtual fortress, he has a number of places, one
in Seattle, one in Detroit, several in Europe and one in Sydney. The place in
Seattle is in Bellevue, one of the better defended targets, hence the need
for the extra manpower. IBA checked out the matrix setup but was only able to
get to an external node that covers mundane things like Trid and the phones,
the security and any other information that Gallean might have is strictly
kept off line.

I should also warn you that Gallean currently has protection from the Aztecs,
they've some deal whereby his mansion is classed as extra-territorial status
or some other drek. Basically it means they've got some mean hardware in there,
IBA nearly killed himself trying to get the data. Ended up hitting a military
spy sattelite, he reckoned it bemchmarked at Red-10 but that he'd used a little
known utility that effectively created a back door. I dunno, I suppose you'd
know more Highlander.

Ok, down to more mundane matters we'll need a common group encryption key.
I'm bloody awful at trying to come up with anything classy so IBA just suggested
the "Headcases", I thought that this was maybe a little to close to the truth
so he came up with "The Lager Louts" ack, can't stand the stuff myself but it'll
do for a key. ]<<<<<

***** PRIVATE Reaper
>>>>>[ Reaper the job should be completed before that date, well before in
fact.

Bonejacker a decker that worked with a chummer of mine a while back. ]<<<<<

***** PRIVATE BIGHORN
>>>>>[ BIGHORN thank you for your kind offer but I'm afraid I don't have
the
money to offer services to your entire team as I've already hired some people
to fill some of the places. I would however like to employ Nash and Lacy, I'll
also be requiring the use of your Bison and Lacy's drones.

Nash will fill the position of sniper and so shouldn't be in direct conflict,
Lacy will be responsible for getting us in and out. She'll also be carrying
a few extra drones that a rigger friend of mine will be operating from a
distance. We'll also need the heavy weaponry that the van is carrying in case
things start to go wrong.

The target is being protected by Aztec soldiers, can your people handle them ?
We've information that suggests that they have some heavy hardware at their
disposal. ]<<<<<
