+++ Fade in

Light glitters off the RTG san that leads to the Seattle matrix. The place is
the RTG nexus for the UCAS where RTG's lead to the various other city matrixes
Standing in the middle are two figures. The first figure looks like a rather
busty female made completely out of circuitry. Flashes of light can be seen
arching across and beneith the surface. The level of intricacy is so fine that
you can make out atleast 4 seperate layers with the added impression that if you
had the correct angle you would be able to see even deeper. A words appear in a
stylized circuitry like script identifing the person as Circuit Breaker. The
next figure though is completely breath taking. Her long black hair is streaming
out behind in the direction of the san, almost as if the data flow was acting
like wind. Her black clothing ripples in the torent of data. The figure itself
portrays a very beautiful women dressed almost completely in black renaissance
style clothing including rapier, dagger, boots and a cloak. Her feaures are
rather delicate and though each feature is astoundingly detailed, it is
impossible to say whether she is Asia, Europian or AmerIndian. One thing is
certain though, her appearance bears no trace of the normal technological looks
of other icons. Though her name soon appears in elegant script, it is not
needed for it is rather obvious that this must be the decker known as Spirit.

CB: well hun, its about time. Ah sure hope that niffty little program we
worked up is up to the task we have made for it.

Spirit: Don't worry, if it doesn't, it doesn't, I'm jut worrying about who is
going to show and that we might be too late. It has taken a long while to make
this. With out it I really think that there would be a many of the group who
would not make it back alive. As it is, I would like to know how well the
others projects are, though I know they are all finished, I just wonder how well
they will work together.

CB: Well, the communicator/data link should help with that. Ah finished up
that last of the semi-generic ones two days ago, they should integrate well
enough. Now the other just have ta understand how to use them ta their best
advantage. *Sigh* Ya know, this is going ta reveal one of the major secrets ta
our success.

Spirit: We have to, too many lives have already been lost. Besides, they
aren't as complete as our because they are generic and we can also sell the
design for a lot of money or info.

Soon figures begin to appear out of the San's. The first to appear is a tall
man with a long scarf, overcoat and floppy, the indentifier quickly tags him as
Highlander. The next through is a small car which quickly transforms into a
human sized robot indentifed as Transformer. From the other side, a man in a
purple black costume slips into the area, the identifier pauses and they prints
out Phantom in comic book like character style.

Spirit: Ok, good. I see that you all showed up. We will be gaining Mercury
later in Boston and hopefully Nightstalker will appear. Here are the programs
that we worked on, and another one that will allow us to work better as a team.
It will allow you to slightly customize the area effecting programs we will be
using. They give you a basic idea of what the program is attempting and general
keying to what modifications on your part can help.

Circuit Breaker holds out her hands and pairs of program icons appear, the one
is a small ear comminicator reminiscent of those used by security and military
forces, the other is a small data cube.

Transformer: Neat!! but how do I make it go with the vehicle forms?

CB: It should integrate fairly well with the forms, and you can modified the
way it looks slightly.

Transformer: Wizzer!! I can make it into an antennea

Of to one side Highlander can be seen fiddling with the device. After a few
seconds he places it over his image of a StarTrek communicator and it integrates
into the design.

Highlander: Thank you lass, I see you figured I would place it over the
comminicator.

The group then continues to discuss small strategy and get used to the data link
while each other them introduces there programs for helping in the attempt.

Spirit: Well, we have wasted enough time, Mercury will be expecting us soon, so
lets head out. Or little opening should be appearing about Now.

A darkened and silvery outlined SAN appears in the air before the group. It
doesn't seem all that stable, and has a sort of strange look to it.

The group then moves through the darkened SAN into Boston. ]<<<<<
