Some fucking newbie just dumped a "Chronos file" onto Shadowland?
Okay, time to hustle. If it's real, we're gonna grab Newbie92739434 and
find out every damn thing he knows, though the file itself and anything
else is long gone.
If it's a fake, then we grab Newbie92739434 and find out what the hell
he knows about who hired him and why he planted a fake file here.
If it's a trap, then we spring it and take our chances, because it at
least gives us a chance at the brains behind this mess.
I'm mailing the guy to invite him to a safehouse at >>encrypted<<.
Lilith and I will play target, you guys get to cover us.

Crisis mode. This is not a drill.
Find every byte of data that exists on Shadowland user "Newbie92739434",
ASAP.
This is an Alpha Kilo Victor command priority, all lesser tasks
overruled. If there's anything still out there, it won't last long, so
hustle.
All measures short of warfare authorised. I authenticate

you're in a lot of danger as a result.
If you want to live until dawn, get yourself to >>address<< ASAP.
Do not pass Go, do not collect two hundred nuyen, grab your deck and get
moving _now_.
Get to that apartment, knock on the door, and you're safer than you are
now.
Think I'm kidding? Stay put and see what happens.]<<<<<

Sir,
I have invoked Priority AKV to divert Matrix assets to an urgent "hot
contact" investigation.
+++++include diversion_order.txt
This was in response to the following information.
+++++include Shadowland_message.dat
In the circumstances, any useful evidence that may be extracted will be
destroyed very shortly, unless Newbie92739434 is an extremely competent
individual or is part of the operation of which "Chronos" is a part. I
judged that the urgency justified the diversion of resources.]<<<<<
