>>>>[Hoi SlowDeck and I guess welcome aboard.  A plant-based dodo bird stuck on your car?!?!?!  that is hilarious.  Have you tried a flamethrower?

Shade, I haven't had any experience with Ares Vigorous or Thunderstuck, though it looks like I'll get to see how they work from the opposition's side cause a few of the Ares-backed teams here seem to be hauling a few around. Not my type of weapon, though.]<<<<

>>>>>[Flamethrower attempt didn't work.  Worried comrades confiscated it before I could use it. Apparently, they still remember the Memorial Day Barbecue of '69.

Also, if you're UCAS and headed to the CAS by land, try to stay away from St. Louis for the next couple months. A coyote I regularly deal with got a nasty surprise when CAS changed their checkpoint routines at the border there and had to go noisy. Border guard is going to be jumpy for awhile. If you have to cross via the Midwest, I would suggest going further west and using Wichita as a stop-over before heading to Tulsa.

And, if anyone is a skilled coyote, there's a shipment in Lake of the Ozarks that needs delivered to a buyer in Springfield. It's the same one the coyote I know was smuggling when they danced the foxtrot with border security. Contact 3H once there and he can direct you to where the shipment is hidden. Buyer offered me the job, but I'm having a little transportation difficulty at the moment...]<<<<<

'hoi'?  What is this, are we respamming copies of goddamn Shadowbeat (For Teens!!) again?  I swear to god, Bull, if you're pulling some damn mild psychotropic to bring back the old slang, I will personally put an APB out on your vehicle as being Too Dangerous To Be On City Streets, Detonate With Extreme Prejudice ... ]<<<<<

[SlowDeck]

>>>>>[Okay, transportation problem temporarily solved. And the previous owner of the vehicle won't come looking for it. Ever.

Stupid ganger decided that threatening me with a pocket knife was a smart move. Seriously, threatening a decker? Tsk. So, I waited for his friends to get close and bricked his commlink. Only, I think I overdid it a bit. His comm kinda exploded, definitely killed him, and kinda left his two surviving friends on fire... I mean, just because my custom attack animation looks like I was launching a fireball at him doesn't mean I expected it to explode! Alas, his still-burning friends did not believe my intentions were merely to destroy their social lives and, once they put themselves out, they fled the scene screaming about magic.

Luckily, the guy had a NICE motorcycle! Bit scorched from his commlink exploding, and I had to get a friend help me with changing ownership of it, but it rides like a dream! And while I was riding it back to my safehouse, I convinced some ghouls to stop chasing down an actual living victim by giving them the location of four dead gangers they could feed on. Then I dropped the person they were chasing off in front of a Lone Star precinct, gave the poor girl the location of a gun shop so she could buy some protection, and rode home.

I've already anonymously reported to Lone Star that the two survivors were part of a terrorist group looking to combine magic and plastic explosives into a bomb to take out city hall. I was unhappy with having to give up the two bricks of plastic explosives I had with me for this, but it was necessary. Said their mage scrammed after accidentally killing four of them. I'm such a good samaritan!]<<<<<

[SlowDeck]

>>>>>[My kind of meatspace noise involves explosions and makes security twitchy and more alert. I run quiet for obvious reasons.

Give me a day to adjust. 'Sides, given the Matrix these days, I think you'd be glad for a distraction from you that's here.]<<<<<

BOLO for reconditioned KondOrchid shipping containers, because they might contain a dozen or so shedim. Am kind of tracing matters back now, but, y'know . . . shedim!] <<<<<

>>>>>[Oh god Wyrm. I felt old just hearing that. And I'm barely twenty.

On another note, if I were to run into one of these containers, other then just running away and probably contacting the local DMIR branch, what sort of firepower might I be wanting? I haven't yet, but some of our meets over the next week or so are in active ware houses, and only Odin knows what company owns some of these.]<<<<<
