that
various countries don't really want to be come real well known . . . you
know.... it's the magic time to air some dirty laundry. This time from the
Imperial Japanese State (otherwise known as Japan!).
It appears that yesterday morning, a sever roit broke out in the part of Tokyo
that is generally reserved for those of the metahuman persuasion. Apparently,
the high-all-mighty equivalent of the UCAS' National Guard was called in. It
seems that it was a few hours before _most_ of the gunfights calmed down.
Local experts are being prevented from talking about the trashing that the
Japanese took. Apparently those gangers were better armed and shifted their
anger from each other to the goverment troops.
I have yet to hear word on an estimated death count. I will keep you posted if
I hear anything more. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ You fragger! You're hired goons tried to backstab me after I got my
package for you! Unfortunately, they didn't kill the poor slot, and they
managed to lose track of me in the maze.
Here's the deal: Since you seem so eager to get your hands on him, the price
tag is now >>encrypted<<. Play nicely, or I will open the bid to others that
are interested in him. ]<<<<<

***** Private: Nightingale
>>>>>[ My dear, I cannot believe you would willingly assume that I had
anything
to do with their backstabbing. I can only assume they figured you an easy
target and wanted to get you out of the way to get more money for themselves.
Still, I can understand your anger. I know someone who is willing to pay:
>>encrypted<<. Come to my place and we will discuss details.

***** Private: Whisper
>>>>>[ I'm sorry. I'm afraid you didn't hear me correctly. I said the
cost of
this job is now: >>encrypted<<. Take it or leave it. As far as meeting you
at
your home, I'm afraid common sense says I must pass. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Could you tell me a little bit more about a guy code: Whisper? His
matrix icon is:
+++++ include icon.pix
And oh, you might want to start looking for tracks in Southeast Asia. . . I
don't know how active he has been outside of there. ]<<<<<
-- Nightingale <20:00:00/4-16-56>
***** Private: Nightingale
>>>>>[ Where the hell are you and why would you want to know about him?
Sure... I suppose I could use the side money. It will cost you: >>encrypted<<

***** Private: Sprinkler
>>>>>[ You got some time on your hands? I could use some help tracing
this:
>>encrypted<<. I will be also looking, but I figured two sets of eyes are
better than one on this instance. ]<<<<<
-- Scourge <20:03:35/4-16-56>
>>>>>[ Sure.
Hey Ratspeak! Dude, that news brief sucks. Come on, man, tell us something of
use that is juicy too. The japanese government is always beating up on the
racial gangs. Plus as a bonus, that happens in a few other places as well.
Why tell us of this one? ]<<<<<
-- Sprinkler <20:05:27/4-16-56>
>>>>>[ Are you for real? Think about it. Japanese officals are denying
this,
but I think the guys they sent to deal with the problem, lost on a big scale.
There could be a real hot story in this. ]<<<<<
-- Ratspeak <20:07:32/4-16-56>
>>>>>[ So.... that happens in a lot of places. Why waste our time?
]<<<<<
-- Sprinkler <20:08:11/4-16-56>
>>>>>[ You have no sense for a good story. And from what the rumormill is
saying, no sense in who you hire either! ]<<<<<
-- Ratspeak <20:08:55/4-16-56>
>>>>>[ Let me be the first to tell you this Ratspeak .... DON'T YOU EVER
THINK
BEFORE YOU POST HERE! Sheesh. Between you and Sprinkler, who needs to pull
runs to find out data. Just let you two find it and it will be all over this
node in about 50 nanoseconds.
And to add to this all: I _KNOW_ both of you two have something more
constructive to do with your respective times.
Ratspeak, if you feel there is something worthwhile in Japan, why not dig it up
first instead of teasing us? And I am surprised no one has asked you this so I
will. . . What happen to all those DragonEyes updates? Have you stopped
looking for him? ]<<<<<
-- Scourge <20:12:08/4-16-56>
>>>>>[ Temper, temper Scourge. As far as DragonEyes is concerned I still
have
hounds out for him. I think I might have a lead on where he might be, but
seeing as how you view my posts I think I will keep that quiet.
+++++ trace initiated.
+++++ trace destroyed.
Hmmm. Seems to be a hot topic. And by the way, I think I have limited the
suspects down as to who sniped him. Unfortunately, I really don't like the
list I am coming up with. Gotta go before whoever just traced me succeeds.
