[The Wyrm Ouroboros]

>>>>>[ Paradise-only-for-us is the purview of a hell of a lot more people than just insect shamans.  And hell, not even insect shamans have that outlook, when you get down to it.  Besides, NiSayer, if they're behaving themselves here, why would we care?  We let Smiley on, for God's sake, and a more screwed-up individual doesn't exist ... ]<<<<<

>>>>>[What about people who use human sacrifices? Should we care? Because they're doing it. Using street kids, whom noone will miss.]<<<<<
     -- NiSayer (22:15:00/12-05-74)

[All4BigGuns]

>>>>>[Well, first off one needs absolute proof that it's actually being done and they're just not being duped into killing someone that some Corp spread rumors of such things about to get the common people to kill him/her.]<<<<<

[Mirikon]

>>>>>[As I said, NiSayer, PsyWar tactics 101: Why kill someone yourself and risk making a martyr, when you can spend half the effort to discredit them and get someone else to take the risk of killing them? It could be that these people are doing exactly what you say, or it could be that someone is trying to set them (or you) up. Throwing wild accusations is a bad move, unless you have actual evidence. At best, you'll be ignored. At worst, you'll be engaged in fearmongering and scapegoating of innocent people.]<<<<<

What the... Who the hell are you? *gunshot heard followed by the sound of sparking electricity* CONNECTION TERMINATED...]<<<<<

--Predator (19:08:36/12-07-2074)

[Kot]

>>>>>[Sorry, Predator, can't hear you over the sound of someone hunting me. Four kids dead, ask the Spikes, it was their turf they were killed on. I found out, because some ripperdoc had an ounce of morals and shot the guy who tried to sell their bodies to him. I followed that lead... and that was my mistake. I had to cut most of my connections, and run. This crap is getting worse by the minute. I can manage surviving for some time, but those spirits they sent after me don't look good. Not toxic, but just plain wrong. Like there's something fundamentally wrong wit them. I can't wrap my head around that part, and I don't have time to research it. Any insights? And be quick about it, or it will be too late.]<<<<<

[Mirikon]

>>>>>[Wrong how? There's not enough to go on. I think we can rule out insects, so that leaves only a few options that I know of. First, they could be normal spirits, but the conjurer chose especially strange and malevolent forms for them. Second, they could be free or ally spirits, with especially malevolent natures. Third, they could be blood spirits, which is certainly possible if the group is involved in sacrifices. Fourth, they could be shadow spirits, which means you're in a whole mess of trouble.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Alright folks, first of all i hate bouncing around plexes, secondly, i hate doing it sub-orbital, that totally frags my sense of time. I'm hoping to find Ni and Predator and get the both of them out of this hot zone. Also, I've done some pretty bad things in my life, and i pray that i wont have to do them again. Oh, hello. No, I would not like a drink, I wont be here long, <snap> put your hand there again and I'll feed it to you. Now where's William? Smiley, Are you at the Powerline yet, I'd hate to have to hurt one of your friends.]<<<<<

--Wolfgar (17:30:10/12-09-74)

[All4BigGuns]

>>>>>[I could provide you some fire-support, Wolfgar. Well, that is if you know anyone with a cargo plane that I can pull the Appaloosa into. Haven't scraped together the cred for a good aircraft yet. Pred going MIA is kinda personal for me.]<<<<<

[Wolfboy]

>>>>>[Male elf that usually has sticky fingers around peoples back pockets, now has a couple of broken fingers and a new appreciation of other male elves who dont like having their hoops fondled. Wheeler, i have wings at your disposal whenever you need it for something like that, she's an old C-130, but she's got the cargo capacity for a devil rat and then some so an Appaloosa is no prob. Sweet William is supposed to be here with some intel for me, and he's not in his usual spot, so I'm a little concerned.]<<<<<

--Wolfgar (18:03:20/12-09-74)

[Mirikon]

>>>>>[Wolfgar, I'm in Seattle right now. From the sound of things, there's going to be blood in the water before long. Shark would be very upset with me if I didn't come give you a hand. My sword is restless in my hand, eager to silence the call of blood. And if there are strange spirits on their side, then you will need magic on yours, as well.]<<<<<

[All4BigGuns]

>>>>>[Great, my drones get stowed in the Appaloosa, so they wouldn't be an issue. Just needed the plane to get it all from sprawl to sprawl out of Denver. Don't particularly like the idea of driving cross-country on something that may or may not be time sensitive.]<<<<<
