[Mirikon]

>>>>>[Ah, Murphy. Never, ever let a free spirit hear you say something like that. They can be a temperamental bunch. Just pray you never find yourself face to face with the Wild Hunt.

Smiley, at least tell us what corp he's with.]<<<<<

--Iceblade (23:03:05/01-13-74)

[CanRay]

>>>>>[Come on folks, professional courtesy.  If he doesn't want to say, don't push.  Might be part of his contract to not say anything.]<<<<<

[The Wyrm Ouroboros]

>>>>>[ Is always part of contract. ]<<<<<

[CanRay]

>>>>>[It should always be considered part of the contract, I admit, but there are sometimes you want people to know who, how, and most importantly, WHY!  I drek you guys not, I had a contract once that called for it to be OK to explain that this guy was being geeked for his PARKING SPACE.  Suits can get very, very petty sometimes.]<<<<<

[Smiley]

>>>>>[I'm at a point in my career where I can say to whoever contact me for a job: "If you want me to take the contract, that is my price. I also want to know who the real client is and meet him in person."... And they nearly always accept. My rep speaks for itself, my record is nearly flawless and that rewards me with privileges most runners will never have... And it's going to stay that way. I may be a real clown incapable of being serious more than five minutes (it ain't five minutes yet!), but I'm a professional.

If my clients wants people to know they were the ones who hired me, that's their business. Me, like I said, I don't kiss and tell.

On a side-note, I'm currently celebrating my return to Seattle at the Powerline! First round on me for all the dirty minds who cares to join me!]<<<<<

>>>>>[Damned vat.  It's not even one of the nice "tube" vats where you can move around and flip off the doctor or anything, it's one of the coffin vats!  I'm going insane in here, people!  I'm following P2.0!]<<<<<

[Mirikon]

>>>>>[So we went into the Sioux sector to take a couple meetings. Not exactly the place a Tir Elf would normally go, but biz is biz. Tried to get in to see Soaring Owl, but couldn't swing it. That'd also be about the time things got touchy, so we had to leave with a quickness. I've fought Wildcats before, and I'd rather not do it on their turf.

Spent the afternoon traveling through sewers in the former Aztlan sector, looking for Azzie sympathizers, to try and sell them to the ZDF. Good way to curry favor with the main player in this town, or so I hear. There were definitely Azzies down there (saw a ritual site that had only been abandoned for a few days), but only living things we found were some ghouls, and a few loup-garou with bad tempers.]<<<<<

[Mirikon]

>>>>>[The Voice calls.

Is it some fragment of the Lord, that escaped the Worm, calling to his old followers?

Is it something else?

Am I just going mad?

It comes from the Matrix, but I don't know how to trace it. Others cannot hear the Voice, whispering to them in the background glow of data.

They worry about me, I know. But those who know me, from there, know why I cannot ignore the call. I wish it would get clearer. I wish it would go away.]<<<<<

--Faust (16:46:24/01-14-74)

[CanRay]

>>>>>[Wish I could get cleaner, too, Faust.  Here, next round's on me.  Can't do anything else while I'm in this damned box.]<<<<<
      --  Money Johnson (15:55:22/01-14-74)

[Mirikon]

>>>>>[Cleaner? Never clean. Never again.

Black rings on pale flesh.
Five now, that refuse to fade.
Why am I alive?]<<<<<

--Faust (19:26:02/01-14-74)

[CanRay]

>>>>>[Before anyone gets up on me about shooting Infected, they were ferals.  I asked them to say something before I shot them.  And Stick and Shock only drops them, doesn't kill them unless I shoot them a lot.  Um, Mr. Iceblade, after the sewers, can I leave early, I need to shower before, ahem, er...]<<<<<
      --  Murphy (18:41:22/01-14-74)

[Mirikon]

>>>>>[Yeah, go get ready for that naga lady. I'm not going out of the Hub tonight, anyways. Got a virtual meeting with a potential contact at the Nexus that should start up once they receive the 'gift' I was paid to send them. Then I'm going to get cleaned up before heading down to Wonderland to meet Alyss. Sometimes, I love my job.

Oh, and if anyone cares, it seems as though a shipment of bleeding edge computers from Telestrian managed to disappear as it was passing through Denver. Funny, that.]<<<<<

--Iceblade (20:01:05/01-14-74)

[Kylen]

>>>>>[You know, I'm almost sad that I missed out on going on this trip...but ghouls, feral or sane, are a good ways outside of what I wanna deal with on the wrong end of a problem. I'll work with one, but I'm not gonna piss any off. Too many chances to become one, and last I checked, they aren't all too welcome in the Triad.

Speaking of weird stuff, anyone know of somewhere I can grab shows and such from like, the 1980s and 90s, through about to 2020? A friend of mine showed me some stuff, and I'm just hooked.]<<<<<

     -- Card (20:41:42/01-14-74)

[CanRay]

>>>>>[Grandpa has a bunch of that stuff from the early days of filesharing, stuff that died in both Matrix Crashes.  I'll send him your contact info, Card.  Just don't expect it to be free unless you impress him or he likes you for whatever reason.  He's a little touched in the head.

And consider the source of that statement!]<<<<<
