>>>>>[Ah! It's good to be back on the streets! I find prison doesn't suit me. Hahaha!

Yeah, I got busted by the FBI again! It's a good story! Same zealot as the last time. He was trying to stop me from finalizing things on a small arms pipeline I was setting up out of the UCAS. All the parties insisted on me being present at the final handshake between the different parties and he knew that. But sadly the deal went through even if I was inside!

The guy thought he was really clever this time. I dare say he even thought he was clever than me. He knew his higher ups would want to release me, like they ordered him the last time, so he sent me straight to a KE managed federal prison. He was probably hoping to delay, possibly eternally, my release, since SINless like me tends to have it hard in there.

Hahaha! It was the plan all along! Who did he think was supplying the weapons for me to arrange smuggling? I just make things happen, I'm not a supplier! So I arranged some prisoners to get transferred and a few other guys "busted" prior to my arrest. After that, my contacts in both the CIA and the FBI had excuses to come visit me... pardon, "interrogate me". As for the ARES representative in charge of the supplying, well he didn't need any reason since the own the damn place. KE were kind enough to give us a nice private meeting place. Hahaha!

Everyone was there so we discussed what was needed to be discussed than we all went our separate ways. People being held without proof got released and prisoners transferred back to their original holding facilities. Hehe! It's probably just a question of time before the FBI agent figures out he got played by me. There's no shame in that, I mean he played against me, but I suspect he's not going to let that one go! He was there at my release and he didn't look happy to see me back on the streets! Hahaha!

Well, we'll see. But if gets to be a serious threat, I already have something in place to remove him permanently from the chess board! By the gods, I love my job! Hahaha!]<<<<<

>>>>>[Well, Fabulous, I've dealt with Mafia, Laesa, Yakuza, Koshari, and Triads at different points, and not one of them has had cause to complain about the way I do business, except for the ones who thought they could double-cross me. Those recordings are strictly private use only, to improve my techniques and my game. Especially the recordings of the meet. Those get deleted once I'm clear of the run and paid. Likewise, the stuff on the run itself doesn't get released, unless there's cause for it to be released. There was a time when my team stumbled into a nest of Wasp spirits on a run, and I sold the footage and location of the nest to Ares. Nothing about our run was in that, just the paydata that mattered. I'm a professional, after all. However, when someone tries to cross me, having the footage for facial recognition software makes things that much easier.

Also, Fabulous, if your 'family' is so paranoid about being recorded, what do they do, gouge out every pair of cybereyes that show up to a meet? You do understand those things have cameras in them, and always have, right? Or that cyberears can also record everything they hear? Always assume the other party is recording you. And give them plenty of reasons to never let those recordings out in the open.

Smiley, good to see you're still up to the same old tricks.]<<<<<

     Mr. Fabulous, yeah, I know not to deal with him, but if I can throw Nuyen at someone to keep some young runners in working condition, and maybe recruit them to my work, its worth it, right?  They rule LA here, and I don't know much about how connected they are.]<<<<<

     Can one of  you Seattle boys do a quick look around for any death certificates for Azzies who left behind ten year old daughters?  I don't have the technical know how, nor the equipment to do it all the way from here.]<<<<<

     --C.E. (19:29:30/08-13-2075)

[Mirikon]

>>>>>[That is not unexpected. Probably the result of corrupted or missing data when he was 'uploaded'. Unfortunately, without a name, that doesn't give us much to go on. You'd have to hack Aztechnology personnel files to find out his details from that, if they even exist. Azzies aren't exactly known for truthful bookkeeping. Still, his daughter would be about 20 now. If he could remember his name, or hers, that would give a good starting point for the search. Otherwise, you would have to go line by line through the Aztechnology Seattle personnel files for 2064, and see who had an 'accident' during the Crash, and also had a daughter... It is doable, but it would take a lot of time, and it isn't good to stick around in Aztechnology servers for too long.

And CE, remember that the Crash wiped many records of the time, and corrupted many more. Anything from the first few months after the Crash would be suspect, as the Azzies no doubt tried to avoid further panicking their workers with the reports of people dying while jacked in. This isn't like looking up last night's urban brawl scores.]<<<<<
