>>>>>[ Anonymous from NetzTrainer GmbH, Germany:

We are not a part of the UCAS or CAS government. Our beliefs are solely
our own and not sponsored by some government agency. We do work on behalf
of our employer whose views may or may not coincide with our own. Leveling
a town, or protecting some politician is all just part of the game.

We do not agree that a rifle is protecting free speech because you are
silencing a voice. If that person commits an act of violence against us,
we will respond in kind. If a person decides to say, wipe out an orphanage
full of Elven children or human children, that is fine by us. If that same
person tries to attack us, however, we will defend ourselves.

We don't uphold political causes. We simply don't care. If you are a
troll, you have as much right to die as a human. Still, in and of itself,
there is no harm in someone expressing opinions, even if we consider them
stupid or foolish.

"Menace an innocent?" Please define that term. We are not familiar with
that term called innocence. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Thomas, there _are_ people after Easy for breaking the law against a
legal policlub. Lynch probably isn't one of them, due to the fact that it
isn't really SIGA's area to be involved in. It is the FBI's crime to solve
and frankly, bragging on a forum isn't enough evidence to convict a person
(at least last time we checked). It will be used against the criminal in a
court case, but the brag alone won't convict the person. The larger
problem for the FBI is that they aren't as well equipped to hunt down a
talented member of a society that isn't supposed to exist in the first
place.

All in all, it raises the old question. Why do mercenaries and shadowrunners
exist in the first place? Why do corporations (and governments) need
mercenaries and shadowrunners?

We have our own theories about those answers, but we don't care to share them
right now. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Mr. Lynch, I don't know if you have an answer to this or not, but
since I
really don't even know of that many people in the UCAS government, I figured I
should ask someone who does. I have a friend in a corporation who said another
friend of mine, was caught in what they think was a hostile extraction. Rumor
has it, that the FBI and Knight Errant are working on the case, but they aren't
telling anyone anything useful. Do you know anything about it? The person
missing is Scourge of JICES.

Seeing how small this world is, I imagine it will only be a matter of time
before we meet. Until then. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Just found out that the FBI and Ares were looking into what they
think
might have been a hostile extraction of Scourge. Neither side is talking though
about any information they have on the case. Amazingly enough, the whole thing
has been kept out of the news. I asked a question, but since they don't know me
from Adam, I would be highly surprised I rate a response. ]<<<<<
