Fastjack is David Gavilan? 

Hmm.. has anyone ever seen FastJack and David in the same room at the same time? 

And does either wear glasses?

Only when I'm working.

Oh, the other Fastjack.

[Red Canti]

He couldn't be Fastjack, right? The into the Shadows book indicates that Brandon Cross met with Fastjack in Denver in the 2050's in person... That would have been long after Thomas liquefied...

It's very unlikely, but it's a rumor. Damien Knight  is another one that gets accused of being FastJack.

Really?

Numerous times. But we all know he's David Gavilan.

Don't screw with me man. Where do people get Damien Knight of all people?

[Wakshaani]

Been around forever.

In essence, when people figured out that he was the leader of Echo Mirage, and thus was one of teh world's first Deckers who also has access to the best gear on the planet, it made sense that he might also be the legendary decker FastJack. This ignores the time constraints of course, or why the CEO of one of the Big Ten would bother, but hey. RUmors, gotta love 'em.

Has this been confirmed? I always thought the the Knight-EM connection was rumor.

Depends on how confirmed Knight being David Gallivan is. It's one of those "99% certain, but never stated as absolutely true" things. Teh Shadows have come to terms with the idea, but the majority population has no idea. (It's a popular subject of conspiracy Matrix sites, of course.)

Interesting side note: Knight is one of those "Mysterious, unknown history" guys who makes vague noises about the Crash having wiped out his history and whatnot, but there are quite a few 'distant cousins' in the corporation as well who use Knight, or a variation of it, as their own name. Does he support them? Does he allow them? Do they have leverage in some way? Are they too small to worry about? It's never gone into, but while he has no official relatives, he has quite a few 'claim to be' relatives. Always thought that was a neat thing.

10) in Missions, Season 4-00 (Back in Business), the runners are sent to find (among other things) something called a "morel stone." My runners kept it, sensing that it was worth more than they were being offered. Is there any properties or stats or further hints as to what this artifact does, or what it can do?

Blood in the Boardroom, page 57
As David Gavilan, Knight had worked with Cross on numerous projects for Acquisition Technologies.

This part of Blood in the Boardroom is not written in-context. It is information for the gamemaster, and as such, not subject to the unreliable narrator.

wouldn't that be giving away the 'morel' of the story?

None that have been published as far as I know.

Thank you, sir. Can I just say that the fact that this forum exists makes being a Shadowrun  fan/gm/podcaster extraordinarily  fun and much easier?

[Angelone]

My best guess would be it is a throwback from Earthdawn. It has a living aura so it could be one of those stones that give Obsidimen life.

[Crimsondude]

All I know is that they look like decorative stones you'd find in an Indianapolis hotel lobby fountain.

11) I seem to have gotten the idea in my head that Dodger was the best decker around in the 50s. Yet I keep seeing other places people refer to Fastjack as the best decker ever. Since it appears Dodger is back (or never left), has there ever been a comparison between the two? Is there a reason everyone says Fastjack is the best, other than people saying he's the best? Or is it apples and oranges?

12) The Bot' Kham seem to be popping up all over the underground these days. They also seem to be a pretty violent and unruly gang (even by OU standards). Kham himself seemed to be a pretty decent and down to earth dude. Is there some record of how we got from one to the other after "Never Trust An Elf?"
