>>>>>[This gang war in the matrix is not good for business. The local gumi is hiring specialists to troubleshoot these problems with extreme prejudice if they interfere with any of the gumi's matrix activities. One thing I will say about the new matrix is that it does tend to force people into closer proximity for their hacking. It is not as easy to hack someplace from half a world away as it used to be. Still possible, but these people don't have the skills to deal with the noise and still shave ice. So they are close. I've been trying out a new rifle, and am happy to say I've already bagged two bounties when the traces came back to people within range of my scope. Perhaps now these amateurs will learn to stay away from businesses that are fronts for the Yakuza. Or they will, when I finish ripping through the two bounties' gear to get a list of their associates. Oh, and don't worry, I used Stick'n'Shock ammo on them. The gumi wishes to make examples of them.]<<<<<

@Wyrm, better watch out... a third party is involved. GOD will not help any of us. And you are quite cocky, even for a pro.

@Kusanagi there might be some meat gang or two envolved too. If you can, find them out, slow them down, calm them down, or just try...

Only thing I know about 'third party', a trace from chicago, might be... And some nasty precrash hardware/software, might be even wetwere, but i'm not sure.

>>>>>[If there is a third party involved, they have not started interfering with the gumi's business directly. And I can confirm that there are affiliated gangs involved, I shot two who were trying to recover the body of one of the third hacker I brought down. The gang in question is loosely affiliated with a rival organization, though from what I've heard, the gumi has reached out to the other groups to make sure this... unpleasantness doesn't spread into renewed conflict between the syndicates. No one wants a repeat of the bloodletting from the Tempo wars. If this continues much longer, or spills into meatspace more than it has, then the syndicates may make a move to stop this before it causes Knight Errant to start shining lights into dark places. Between the new Matrix, the headcase phenomenon, and other issues, the syndicates are still working to transition their matrix enterprises to new models, which would be complicated if KE or GOD started poking around.]<<<<<
