>>>>>[ I'm flattered that you wish to hire me. While the work you
speak about would normally be right up my alley, and an enjoyable
change of pace from what I am currently doing, I have to refuse your
offer.
I would be willing to consult (from my current location only) with
whoever you hire to do the job for the nominal fee >>price<<, but I
cannot do most of the work because I have already accepted a more
pressing contract.
If you are looking for a recommendation of who to hire, I have heard
that Geiger and his motley crew have the necessary talents to
adequately perform the job. I have also heard that he is even in your
neck of the woods. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ I have received and respectifully refused the job from Neuron
Basher to ruin the reputation and honour of a decker named "Icepick."
Since I can already hear your comment of, "Really? Why did you refuse
it?" I will explain my logic.
Neuron Basher, if memory serves correctly is tied into Jason
Stormwind's world rather tightly. His wanting to hire me, instead of
doing the job means a lot of things: One, they want someone they would
never normally hire to do the job, to deflect suspicion from
themselves; two, I am one of the better at ruining people's
reputations; and, three, if the heat fell to me, they would be more
than happy to sell me to the dogs.
In addition, there is this small problem with what is going on at the
concentration camps, and I don't really want to stop that
investigation, because it will be far more rewarding than ruining
another person's career, which I can do any day of the week.
There were only two things that made me hesitate. It would have put me
on better terms with Stormwind. Two, it would have given me even more
information to use in event I ever need to defend myself. I guess
there is a secondary third: I could have commanded whatever price I
felt I was worth and they would have paid it.
So instead of completely slamming the door on their faces, I told them
that Geiger's crew could probably do the job, and that I would be
willing to advise. We shall see what comes of it, if anything. I
doubt it will. ]<<<<<

the matter, because if needed I can certainly run interference for you.

>>>>>[ My Lord, while I'm deeply flattered and do not doubt your
ability to put an end to the nonsens, it does give us a different
window of observation into what Mr. Stormwind's current situation.
Let's not prematurely jump the fence in such matters. ]<<<<<
