>>>>>[Shadowbeat for teens!? Come on, Wyrm! It's not that bad. Might not be the next Mercurial but my stuff is pretty wiz. Give it a shot, you might just like it. If not... well I promise to keep the volume down, daddy. In the meantime anyone have any Germany advise. First time there and I'm thinking of seeing what I can dig up for shadow work on the side. Know of any good meeting spots?]<<<<<

>>>>>[ It was the slang, Ms. Eltonia John, not your music.  I'm more a fan of compositional instrumentals and orchestral - with a soft spot for delicate and bittersweet beauty where-ever it rears its head.  Mercurial ... was bittersweet and beautiful at times, but she sure as hell wasn't delicate.  As for Germany, well, Goldfinger and I have an understanding - I don't go near Germany, and he doesn't go all Your First Name on my ass if I pick off one of his pets for being too stupid to survive.  That does get violated, but it's more on Hizzoner's dime - and by his choice ... ]<<<<<

>>>>>[Awww, look. The Wyrm's got a soft spot. I can sing real gentle to you, Wyrmy... but only if you promise never to call me Eltonia John again. Which I had to look up the reference on Horizon Search, by the way. I just really don't get 20th Century music. But as for our music if you ever feel like slotting it when nobody can hear you listening (I won't tell...) I think Rhonabwy said it best. "It conjures feelings of rebellion, rage, and the willful foolishness of youth.  The vocals are what have truly captured my interest.  I have not heard such unbridled emotion in a voice in a very long time."]<<<<<

>>>>>[Actually Wyrm has got a point.  I also play some classical music most of the time, as I found it calms the nerves.  And anything that can help in that part is a good thing, especially in our line of business.

Slowdeck: if you still need someone to move that cargo you mentioned, sent me a PM and I'll give you the coordinates of a friend of mine who can help you move things across borders without hassle.

And lastly: hello to all of you]<<<<<

>>>>>[I found a case. The case was armoured, locked and padded on the inside. It belonged to some medical company. Inside was gray jelly in a small glass tube. Does anyone know what it is?]<<<<<

[farothel]

>>>>>[Shedim are some sort of twisted spirit which possesses a dead body.  They come in two subspecies: normal and master.  As they have spirit strengths you need to bring serious firepower to get them destroyed.  which is why people don't come near certain zones in Lagos, despite the population pressure everywhere else.

As to your grey jelly, it could be Royal Jelly from Chicago.  If it is, it's worth a lot.  On the other hand, it could be some sort of nanites designed to eat you alive, so be careful with opening it.]<<<<<

>>>>[Wyrm, Bull's not breaking out the psychotropics on us, I've just always talked that way.  It's what happens when those of us who ran during the '50s start wandering around the newer kids.  Plus, I'm what some of these folks would call ancient (in my 60s) even though as we both know, for an elf I'm just getting to my middle age.

Violet, I'm from Germany originally, though most of the places I know of have probably gone under by now.  If I were you I'd put the word out around the Berlin neo-A community, they might know someone looking for a few runners.]<<<<

>>>>[Acknowledged.

CyberDoctor took a look at the goo. Said it is nanotechnology. Left him a sample to work with. Need to talk to team about killing Mr. Johnson or talking a better deal.

I can make it quick.]<<<<

>>>>[Gotta agree with Hawatari, seems a bit swift to turn against the Johnson.  Wonder if you intended to do that in the beginning.


Forgot to mention, looks like most of the competitions arrived which means the battlefield assessment time has begun around here finally.  Should get to roll out in the next week or so with my squad to actually get this thing underway.]<<<<

>>>>>[Black Panther: Thanks. Sending you the details. It's a simple pick-up and delivery.

Shade: Nanotech? Where did you get this case? Did it have a Renraku, NeoNET, or Evo logo on it? Are any of your teammates acting weird suddenly? Are you having periods of blackouts or waking up incredibly tired?]<<<<<

>>>>>[Johnson told us to acquire the case from a vault. A small bank in downtown. No  high-security, she said. Told she was from Saeder-Krupp. Promised our team a total of 12 000 nuyen. Told that we were free to keep anything else we have time to acquire in the vault.

The Rigger drove the van through the armoured glass of the bank and set the alarms up. The rest of the team heads in while I stay outside on support duty. Our troll starts to brawl with security. Seems they had assault rifles. Other team members set explosives to the vault door. Three police patrol wagons appear. I shoot grenades under the first two. They die. The third car drives away. I tell them to hurry up. Our troll is going to die so I go shoot one of the security guards. The Troll is in rage. Magic or something. Spends half a minute pulping the remains of the guards. The dwarves and I empty the vault as much as we can.

When we head back. We hear a helicopter. The Rigger tells us to jump in the car. I try to take the helicopter down with my sniper rifle. I shoot the doorway gunners. Then I try to shoot the pilot. When we lost them, the helicopter was nearly on flames. The team did not want me to give me the chance for a last shot.

The Johnson told us not to look at what was inside. I was upset to I looked inside. The case said "Genetech" or "MedTech" on the case. Propably a front.

This was not worth 3 000 nuyen. That is nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is expensive. Johnson tried to fool me. I will not let a Johnson fool me again. This is the second time already.]<<<<<
