>>>>>[More news from the land of San Fransisco TV, folks! They
interupted a re-broadcast of last weekend's Niner's game for this
blurb.

This is from one of the more mainstream channels. Quite definately
in the pockets of the japs.

"Only hours ago, another terrorist attack rocked south San Fransisco.

"Metahuman Action Committee terorists detonated an estimated fifty-
kilo car bomb outside Vehicular Checkpoint #7 on the San Mateo county
line.

"SFPD Explosive Ordinance Disposal Officer Lt. Mike Dammons had this
to say about the explosion that ripped through a busy intersection
earlier today:

'Well, we've recovered the "black box" recording device from the
remains of the checkpoint. This device records all of the footage
taken by security cameras placed around the checkpoint. In this
sequence you can see two orks fleeing the area afer abandoning a
vehicle inside the checkpoint. We have not yet identified the
bombers, but they are suspected to be members of the MAC. The bomb
detonated alongside a bus from the Bay Area Retirement Village,
killing twelve - uh, no I've just been told a thirteenth body has
been recovered - thirteen elderly people on their way to the San
Fransisco Opera Company's production of a "Christmas Carol".'"

I can't believe that crap. The fraggin' checkpoint was practically
empty when they hit it. Everybody who was there, managed to take off
before the limo blew up. And that blew up inside the checkpoint
building (God, I love autopilots!). And it was only a coupla frag
grenedes. I'll bet damn good money most of the limo is intact and
there wasn't any collateral damage.

And another gripe, that was some whizzer trid faking they did. I
can't believe they got it done this fast. What an hour and a half,
two hours, tops? Trixie, can your offices fake trid work that good,
that fast?

What a fraggin' joke.....

Ah hell, I'm taking off. I'm gonna spend a week shadin' my buns in
the Carib with a long-legged redhead. Hey, Karen, what're you doing
this weekend?]<<<<<
