>>>>>[It is less a magical good and more doomsday tome, also we have a lot of peoples thumbs in this pie now from the translation effort. Ice and I could probably release a paper on it one day.]<<<<<

--Chrona (15:22:22/09-18-75)

[Mirikon]

>>>>>[Indeed. And I personally would not wish this to get out on the open market. We've been careful, translating pieces at a time, in a warded room. But this scroll is the kind of thing Bosch paintings are made of. There is such a thing as 'cursed' knowledge. Delve too deeply into certain magical secrets, and they begin to delve into you.

I sent word through the dead drop I was given, and it seems the Wordsmyth is quite interested. Chrona, there's a meeting next week at the Seattle office of the DIMR. If you could bring the scroll, that'd be good. He wants to meet with both of us, and verify the scroll after he's reviewed the translation notes I sent via courier.]<<<<<

>>>>>[I see you're crossing with DIMR too, are in a lot of strange pies those days. Hoping well for you, for me I just sent a team onto that anomaly (call that for no better term ATM) on south of Tatra mountain, hope my guys not too fragged ]<<<<<

[TheDarkMessiah]

>>>>>[Spyro - You might have guessed that I'm getting pretty antsy over here in the Smoke. Seems a bit quiet in these here parts at the moment. Some might say -too- quiet. There's probably something big about to go down. If you want any magical support on the mainland, i'm always happy to help. Be nice to get out of town for a while too. ]<<<<<

[SpyroD]

>>>>>[Got some data from a consultant for Manadyne on the Tatra situation. One over excited insider said to a lot of people that Manadyne did astral recon about a month ago or so and found something in some clearing in the forest overthere, a magic activity registered as an active aura of unknown type that worked also as a ward, the ward is strange because is "soft and completely opaque", I'm no mage but I never heard of something like that. My contact said this person in Manadyne spilled the beans everywhere and is that way MCT, Alchemix and DIMR got involved and probably others. Another tidbit is Manadyne locked under max sec every info not spilled in the last two weeks. Probably they sent already some team but here my contact didn't know or didn't want to talk more.
I don't have more infos but noting all the fuss around by some big player they must be on something. I just can't figure what ]<<<<<

[Mirikon]

>>>>>[When dealing with the written word, who better to talk to than the Scribe? I'll send a copy her way, though, even if he doesn't, with whatever he says attached. Anyways, I was already committed to giving him a look at the info because of the resources I had to pull to get it translated. But as you said, I doubt this will stay secret from the rest of those older than us for long. And there are additional parties involved here, who need to be kept in the loop. Weren't you the ones who were big on secrecy? At the moment, this is just a private research project, with ancient 'folklore' as the background. The moment it becomes more than that, I'll send word. But because I'm a nice guy, I'll send the research data anyways. If this turns out to be just a fairy tale, then she may get a nostalgic kick out of it. If it isn't, between her and the Wordsmyth, they'll know what to do better than I will.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Hey now, Cleveland isn't that bad. I have family there, of various kinds. Could be NY you're in. Now THAT is a drek place in my humble opinion.

Still beats Chicago.

By the by Ice, if you need a traveling partner, my foreseeable schedule is open. Boss is getting chewed out for something or another, which can takes weeks. Grandfather likes to take his time.]<<<<<

     -- Card (02:51:40/09-19-75)

[Silence]

>>>>>[Card, EVERYTHING shuts down at five.  I saw kids robbing Stuffer Shacks because there was nothing else to do.  The gangs around here aren't shaped out of a desire for power or a need top band together.  It's the sheer boredom that forming them, because there's nothing legal for these guys to do.  And a few of these leaders are frighteningly smart compared to your average gang leader.  I decided to take my sister to the movies.  They were closed.  Dinner?  The bars were open, she wasn't allowed in.  At least Chicago had SOMETHING, ANYTHING to do, even if it tends to be run for your life, or fight for it.]<<<<<

[Mirikon]

>>>>>[Siouxsie, if you want to live long enough to make a name for yourself in this biz, then do yourself a favor. Find ways to entertain yourself that don't rely on places being open. There will be times you're trapped in a safehouse with a time-lock and won't be able to leave for days, or maybe a run went bad and you have to go by ground from one sprawl to another across borders. Find something you can do that doesn't rely on shops being open, or matrix connections, or any of that.

That said, Cleveland isn't an A-list spot for biz, but like anywhere, if you have the right contacts, there's biz to be done. Corps are there, gangs are there, cops are there, governments are there, same as everywhere else. And when you have all those elements, there's going to be some biz for those of us in the shadows. Its just that some places the shadows aren't as deep as others. Though that makes it a good place to hide deep dark secrets. Who looks for a black lab in Cleveland, instead of Seattle?]<<<<<
