>>>>>[Fuchi's system is the only one not affected, therefore it makes sense
that they are the ones harboring the thing. Whistler, I know of your
connections, and while I'll admit that they are impressive, I do not say this
to be insulting. Fuchi's defenses are very good, even excellent, but hardly
impregnable. And I don't advocate the raiding of their system for anything
short of highly important reasons. Do you remember the Lucifer construct
that the now dead Dante created? It disappeared for over a month. Dante had
5 separate mainframes supporting a single program that, when he died,
manifested an army of demons not unlike the ones now plaguing Boston and
beginning to spread through the Matrix. What if this construct requires
massive amounts of computational power? The two places it would likely go
would be the two corporations that can afford to have it, and who would be
likely to have it, Renraku and Fuchi. I suspect this is the reason that they
were the last two to survive the assult.

For the very reasons you mentioned, I advocate a raid on Fuchi's Boston
facilities. And as much as I dislike making this type of statement, I was
around before the Matrix was created and thus know it as well as Fuchi does.
If Fuchi is responsible for this thing, they will take the blame for it, and I
will see to it personally. If they are not, then I will also personally step
forward and see to it that no-one wrongly accuses them. But if you get in my
way, at least here in the Matrix, and try to stop me, I will brush you aside
and continue with my buisness.

I do apologize if I seem a tad abrupt, but I do not take well to people trying
to put constraints on my movements. Perhaps that's why I always connect via
direct downlink and have enough solar cells and batteries that I am the only
building in a 10 block area of Boston to have power left. I assure you,
Whistler and everyone, that the landlinks are unreliable and the SANs are
controlled by the Military deckers and full of Military IC. Only the
corporate sats and SANs are still unaffected.

Whistler, if you truly wish to aid your contacts, then you should tell them of
my suspicions of the source of the problem and perhaps then they will allow us
to use thier downlinks and even aid us in eliminating the thing from the Matrix
before it grows unstoppable.]<<<<<
