>>>>>[Analysts en-route to your location. Nice job Lynch. It would
have been useful to find out a bit more, pity you blew the guy's head
off, I think he might have cracked, but hell, one down. We've got a
small lead from the analysis of the router we got our hands on, and if
that inofrmation correlates with the data contained in the one you've
got, we might be able to triangulate something. At least it'll give us
a matrix signature to work with. Some interesting tech contained in
these things, they're not cheap, not by a long shot. Looks like
Thunda's help is pretty rich if they can afford to just throw away stuff
like this on an asshole like him.


The mages are here. They're going over the evidence we have so far, but
things aren't looking too hopeful, they keep saying it's all to old. We
need something nice and fresh that Thunda has either used or touched
recently. DAmn I wish I knew _exactly_ what LSS had lost. Pain in the
ass cutting through their damn beauraucracy. You'd think they'd be
grateful of the help, but oh no, we're Feds, we're the enemy. Shit it
makes me sick.


OK, I'll leave you on your rope to continue killing and arresting
suspects <g> From the way I figure it, if Thunda doesn't get the
routers he was due to buy at that meet, he's going to be hard pressed.
We've shaken down three other suppliers in the Seattle area that we know
of, Knight Errant raided another two, so things are getting _very_ rare
at the moment. At least, the kind of hardware laughing boy uses is
anyway. We can't stop it all, but I reckon we can make his life damned
difficult.


The autopilot you ripped out of the car. Please hand it over to my
guys, they'll rip it to bits and see what else we can trace out of it.
I want that car as well. Forensics might turn up something while going
over it. Harley <??> can have it back when we're finished. For Christs
sake don't let her rip it apart before we get a look at it. Soil
samples, paint scrapings, salt corrosion, nail clippings, hair folicles,
there's a world of evidence inside that vehicle. Bring it in.]<<<<<

Seals. They're primarily navy right. A branch of the Marine Corps.
now, if I recall my history correctly, SEALS are delivered in different
ways. Ship, air, or submarine. You see where I'm headed here? If you
think that Thunda's 12.75 price reference may be linked to a nostalgic
memory, then isn't it possible that his team was delivered to it's
target by sub. I mean they're the stealthiest way to get anyone to a
target aren't they? Maybe that's what he's talking about. now just for
the sake of argument. Seattle has a huge Naval area up in Everett.
What do you think would be the greatest joke in the world? I know I'm
grasping, but I'm trying to get a handle on the way this guy thinks. He
sets off bombs to the south, we all pile off down there, and he hits
Lone Star in the north. He plants bombs in Downtown, and we smother the
place, and he hits something the other side of the city. I;ve been
plotting the incidents on a map and so far, everytime we chase down
something he's done, he shows up at the opposite compass point. We're
all chasing around in Renton. What is opposite the section of Renton
that we've been running around like idiots in? Everett. The Naval
Dockyards. The UCAS fraggin navy dockyards. Alright. Now. if he's an
ex Seal (Christ I want those records, I need to know more about who
we're facing) and he's primarily Navy. Then it seems to me, that he
would be playing a great joke on us, and the military who dishonourably
discharged him. What say we check it out? I daren't use my people on
this, because I'm still tracing the leak, though I've got a handle on
it. Several calls have been placed from this establishment to a
dataterm in northern Redmond, once I can confirm what this is, I'll know
who's leaking information. Is there anything you can do about Everett,
I figure your Marine history and contacts might be able to get you some
information.]<<<<<
