Well, I've gotta say that that is some _impressive_ footage your team
assembled. I'm glad you used the "media" setting on the BattleTac and not
the verbose mode: that could be a little difficult to explain. I had seen
the trid reports of the destruction and rioting, but I had never believed
it could be that bad. Those spells! I'd never believed that any of my
gear would get directly mixed up in Hurricane Style Swordsmanship....or,
actually, that looked more like Halloween. Good lord...."Kadokawa Shoten HA!"
*ahem* Anyhow. The gear itself has obviously seen better days, but seems to
have performed well within its expected limits. Rest assured in the
knowledge that you (yes, you! =) have contributed to the advancement of
lethal military technology. What a business we're in, right? Oh, my special
magical "consultant" is taking a look at the drones the Wraith actually
manhandled. No conclusions yet, but the evidence of the thing's massive
power appears to be present as some sort of "residue." If we find anything
specific, I'll pass it along to you to tell to your arcane friends. Maybe
it'll help them think twice before taking something like this on again.
Oh, as for as your "friend", the one-woman Apocalypse. Quite a number of
people are probably looking for her right now. I guess it's a good thing
she's nowhere to be found. My magical consultant says that the spells she
cast would literally kill any mortal spellcaster, even the most powerful ones
she is aware of. Assuming your friend isn't some sort of vampire or whatnot,
the best guess is that she was possessed by something. God only knows what.
If you find out, I'd appreciate any assurances you could send my way that I
won't have to worry about another one of these disrupting my schedule. Or
worse...anyway, I'll be working for another few days having this stuff
assembled. I'll let you know when it's finished.

Thanks large for your help. As always, it be a pleasure workin with the
best. But wha'z this "Kadoka-whatever" thing. Have you been into your
Japanese cartoons again? And that "magical" consultant...that wouldn't have
anything to do with that, umm..."high-class" woman I saw you with at the
or-chestra concert a couple years ago?

The word you want is "anime". And yes, you better believe it. I'm still as
much of a fan as you ever saw me, though the conventions are fewer and
farther between and it's somewhat harder for me to attend. But can't noone
beat my dad for fandom. I just can't believe his collection! Original
laserdiscs galore! Worth hundreds of thousands or more to the right people.
Man, has he got it made: 82 and he looks 55, an early beneficiary of all
those luscious medical advances. And Mom looks even younger, still
beautiful. It's kind of reassuring to know that at least one couple in
senior management still loves each other that closely.
And as for my "consultant", I'll say that you are right. You probably know
me well enough to know that I'm not the sort to go for joy-girls. In her
case, it's not just some street-corner cosmods. She's the _real_ thing. As
always, advances in biotech "benefit" the managers first; But in her case, I
had a big favor owed me, and I...well you know what my situation was. I
guess I might say that I "rescued" her from what her life would have been, but
perhaps "rescue" isn't quite the word for it. At any rate, we've been together
since then. But let me make myself clear: understand that I love her, and I
want _nothing_ bad to happen to her. Meaning that you tell _noone_ about her,
or her Talent. I believe you know how serious I take this. ...Anyway. I
gotta admire your perception though. Guess it comes from being a pro. I'll
keep you informed of our progress here.
