>>>>>[Nothing new here unfortunately, no word from Predator, Money, or Murphy. Ni should be released from the Navy Hospital in Pensacola. Anyone who needs a lift to my party, I'm leaving SeaTac from the private side on Saturday at 1800 local and have room for 20 people. For your information, I have Maria Mercurial playing on the roof New Years Eve.]<<<<<

[Mirikon]

>>>>>[I'll be there. I haven't seen Mercurial play live in years. Oh, and I haven't heard from Predator or the others. We should presume that, even if they are able to read these messages, they aren't able to respond. In that case, I'll just say that if you are able to get to the Tir consulate in Seattle, mention my name, and they'll be able to put you in touch with me on a secure line. If you need a way out of Seattle, I can pull a couple strings and get you smuggled out in a "diplomatic pouch". Of course, you'll owe a couple favors when all is said and done, but that beats being dead, yes?]<<<<<

>>>>>[If you want to. I have the contacts locally for persons of negotiable virtue. But bring your apprentice most definately. Ash is going to be there, as well as Tank Girl.]<<<<<

[Kylen]

>>>>>[I'll probably show up. Figure why not, it's always good to see familiar faces, especially those who don't -currently- have plans/reasons to shank me that I know of.]<<<<<

[Mirikon]

>>>>>[Heh. You've never been to one of Wolfgar's parties, Joker. Nothing about it is 'boring'. Of course, it lacks the same regal splendor a party on Royal Hill before the revolt had, but then where else are people like you and me going to rub shoulders with THAT crowd? And before anyone asks, no, I was nowhere near important enough to get an invite to such a party on my own merits as a matter of course. I did, however, sometimes escort my sister, who, as a Paladin of a Prince, was sometimes included as part of Prince Hestaby's train. Of course, if any of the Princes actually took notice of me, I would be surprised, but it was an excellent opportunity for speaking with those of ducal and royal rank. And no, they didn't want to talk to me because of who I was, but as a possible means of advancing their agenda through my sister to the ears of a Prince. Still quite enjoyable, if you like that sort of thing. I suppose the quality of the parties has fallen dramatically with the change of regime, more's the pity.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Don't worry about me, guys. I was just shanghai'd into a rather secretive job. Don't know why they busted in here with Stick-n-Shocks instead of going through my Fixer, but some are like that I suppose. Don't know how long the connection will hold. System is still a bit fried from the shocks.]<<<<<

--Predator (02:34:48/12-21-2074)

[Mirikon]

>>>>>[Glad to hear you're still with us. Those meetings that start with electric shocks to knock you out rarely end well. Hopefully they didn't give you the kink bomb surprise to ensure that you'd follow through with the job. I remember one time back when I was working for MCT that the runners had their bombs detonated once they'd been captured, to make sure they couldn't talk.]<<<<<

[Kot]

>>>>>[I'm alive, though not well. I'm typing this on a real plastic keyboard, and watching things on a monochrome screen I got from one of the last friends left for the last cred I had. My datajack was damaged, and the med people said I shouldn't connect in any direct way. It would most probably kill me. Too much strain and neurological damage that can't be healed even with nanotech, and leave my mind intact. Well, now I'm an ugly, scarred ex-hacker with no connections, and nothing to live for... Oh, wait. There's always vengeance. A lot of innocent blood was spilled, and those who did it will suffer.
My thanks to all of you. I'll most probably stay tuned, and share any news of use. And I hope you like your early Christmas gifts. The last of the stuff that won't be of any use to me any more.
And to think I laughed that pixie-gypsy in the face. Heh... Serves me right.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Say Pixie Gypsy five times fast. Iceblade, tell me more about your sister.]<<<<<

--Joker (10:48:16/12-22-74)

[All4BigGuns]

>>>>>[Well, NiSayer, the people who shanghai'd me were at least generous with how much they paid--luckily for them with the damage they did--so I could help ya out if you're up for beefing up my security.]<<<<<

--Predator (12:43:29/12-21-2074)

[Mirikon]

>>>>>[She was a Paladin of Prince Hestaby, and those Rinelle bastards killed her in the revolt. I was on assignment when it happened, but I made a special trip back to go hunting. Got the whole cell (yes, even the ones that weren't involved in the actual attack) and had them hooked up to simrigs as I made an example of them. I sent the recordings to next of kin, as well as a copy to the Prince, with a note informing her that her Paladin had been avenged. I still have the masters of those recordings, actually. But yes, that would be one of the reasons I have to deal with people trying to kill me every so often. The good ones get to be statues in my garden, the incompetent or ugly ones simply die.

Of course, the assassins who murdered my sister got off easy compared to what happened to the ones who attacked my parents. Picture being tied to a table, with your loved ones magically compelled to carve pieces off you as you're still screaming and eat them, all the while conscious of their actions and able to speak with you. When she's angry, Mother can be quite inventive in the use of spells. Afterwards, the well-fed loved ones 'disappeared' somewhere. I believe they were last spotted getting into a shipping container headed for Asamando.]<<<<<
