With the help of my friend in Kansas City, we have explored Backups of
Shadowland communication. We have found non encrypted messages, which with
all what we know now on our target were really helpful in understanding
what's going on. 
       
It seems that our target, Journey, has a lot of friends. He's under the
protection of one called Valentine, he had run with the Ancients, he's got
a Wyrm after him.  For Denver, he had been in contact with one called
Action Jackson, who arranged him a rendez-vous with one called Collossus
at the Denver Airport ( it seems that's the guy that was seen by my
Denver's contact ). Those two are well known Shadowrunner in Denver. 

For the moment, we are not able to find his position

We are now trying to decrypt some interesting messages, but it seems we
don't own enough computer power to do that. If you know what to do come
here :

02:17:30. Launch occurred at 02:21:00 and all projectiles were airborne

Astral security was trashed by the collective efforts of Ralph and

compound, having been inside since 02:34:00.

There were, unfortunately, three survivors, one of which took quite some
time to track down and dispose of. However, the place is currently a
smoking crater, and they shouldn't cause any more trouble. We left no

So I get there and there's a pretty cute girl eating lunch by the dock. I
was about to introduce myself when a pair of gangers jump up behind her
and snag her purse. So being a little jumpy anyway I pull out my Predator
and turn them to drek. Not wanting to stay and talk to LoneStar I offer
her a nice cruise on the Sound. Before we get to my boat a huge whole is
burned through the pier. I look up and it's the metal man. Next thing I
see is a trail of bullets ripping up the pier behind us, so being as
polite as possible I shoved the girl on the boat and we took off followed
by a few micro missiles. 

We took a long route back to where I left my bike to avoid as much trouble
as possible. So we're riding back to my place when about 5 more gangers
jump out on to the street and start spraying lead all over the place. I
guess they heard about what I did earlier. We sped past them with a few
dents in the bike but nothing serious. I nearly laughed when I saw what
they had for bikes. Anyway about half an hour later we lost them or they

Precisely at the time that you were to land in Tir Tairgire, 5 explosions
occurred here at the palace.  Two of the explosions occurred at different
ends of your art gallery, and my initial estimate is that 4 million nuyen
worth of replacable artifacts were damaged, and all of your collection of
Ming vases were destroyed.  I am happy to report however that the
explosions occurred when no one was in that wing of the palace and thus no
one was hurt.]<<<<< 
	--Geoffrey, Bailiff <21:00.00/10.29.54>

>>>>>[Geoffry, move all the rest of the artwork into the vaults for the
time being.  Commence repairs on the gallery.  Diana, you should not have
been so blatant.  Journey has friends but not the resources to perform
this deed upon my palace.  Besides, he isn't good enough in the non-arcane
aspects to do this, and certainly not from Tir Taingire.  Consider the
repercussions, Diana Eithne. And weigh your next actions very
carefully...]<<<<< 
	--Dorian(09:50:54/10-30-54)

>>>>>[And I hope to see you soon, Journey.  Perhaps we can finish what we
were doing when we were so rudely interrupted.]<<<<<

        --  Slash(09:53:55/10-30-54)

>>>>>[Whoops...Slash is awake.  Time for the tranqs again............Ok,
he should sleep for a LONG while now.  I have been charged with the dirty
deed of reporting some of what happened last night.  The actual video
recordings and such will be uploaded MUCH later, and not by me.  I got a
job to do...  Slash is severly wounded, and may loose use of a leg due to
massive fracturing. I got flatlined once, but had to go to my backup deck,
which is fragged too now.FM and Silver are fine.  I don't know where
Collussus is, but he was limping the last time I saw him.  Roxey is still
unconscious, and STREETWOLF I don't know for sure about, as I haven't
checked in on him yet.  But AJ is dead. And Solarial, so is the Wrym. 
Hope you are happy now.  The survivors will get into specifics once we are
feeling better.  Buzz, remember your promise, and AJ's last requests. 
Diana gets to decide what happens now.]<<<<<
        --  Solitaire(10:01:21/10-30-54)

>>>>>[ Thanks NodeFaerie.  Now I have lots of leads on Ganz to follow up. 
Life will be pretty busy for awhile. 

Thank you too, I.B.A., Ganz's secret codes are very interesting. 

Lastly, SpotOn, we were handling that guy.  We were not informed by you or
NodeFaerie that you would be there.  As for you pay, don't bet on it.  You
didn't finish the hit. ]<<<<<
        -- Nightstalker <14:59:42/10-26-54>

>>>>>[ Wow, Solarial.  Your sooo fully of crap its not funny.  I don't
remember threatening you?  Just remarking on the perverse pleasure you
recieve from boasting and threatening your hostages.  You really should
get some professional help for these psychological problems of yours.]<<<<<
        -- Nightstalker <15:00:03/10-26-54>

>>>>>[No, Mantis, that'll be quite enough.  I believe Jesus has contacted
you and the rest of your people for payment?  It's been a pleasure working
with you -- all of you.  See you in my next incarnation...]<<<<<

***** Solitare, I will becoming to give what medical help I can.******
        -- Nightfox < N'Ralan Filox >

>>>>>[  Solitare, take good care of Slash, he is friend ta a lot of us
here. Ah don't know why, but Ah have a feeling that those three aren't
dead, just call it intuition.  Aj is hard ta kill, Solarial is just too
damn stuborn and Wyrm hasn't used up his 13 lives yet. 

Well, on another note, Solarial's Ranger friends seem ta be already on the
case. Ah recieved word that a group of stuck up elves where trying ta
descreetly find out where Ah was.  Ah thought they were pretty loosy at
it, until mah bike blew up.  Ah do get the warning, but Ah don't see why
what Ah said so hard for ya Solarial - if ya are still alive ta care. 
What Ah posted was the TRUTH, genetics can prove that.  Personally, your
mother should have done what mah mother tried ta do, a shot gun wedding. 
Unfortunately, dad got wind of it and skipped the country, last we heard
he was up in north UCAS, tryin to make a living, and they almost got him
that time.  They would have just skinned him alive then.  Of course, this
happened a good twenty years ago now, so Ah really don't think he is still
around.]<<<<<
        -- Circuit Breaker < take of um Solitare >

>>>>>[ Wake up and reread Solitaire's message, Circuit Breaker.  She told
Solarial that Wyrm was dead.  She did not say that Solarial is dead, that
will have to wait till later. ]<<<<<
        -- Nightstalker <16:22:28/10-30-54>

>>>>>[ It's a damn shame that you guys had to go kill the Wyrm.  So far
it's cost you a life and probably a leg.  I wonder what it will cost you
to really get Diana back, assuming you ever do?  You really shouldn't have
played Solarial's game. ]<<<<<
        -- Nightstalker <16:24:31/10-30-54>

>>>>>[  Ahhhh, sigh.....  It was too good ta be true.  Thank ya
Nightstalker, Ah did read it wrong.  Ahhh well.]<<<<<
        --Circuit Breaker < sigh, Ohh well >

>>>>>[ Don't worry, Circuit Breaker.  It will only be errorous in the
short run. Solarial will have to pay for the Wyrm's death.  He's the
responsible party. Militech was just the weapon. ]<<<<<
        -- Nightstalker <16:36:14/10-30-54>

>>>>>[Red, I'll be over tonight. I'll pickup Spice along the way. I hope
this girl has something interesting to say - we need to do the 'run soon.
I have a feeling that this will be a tough one so we need all the info we
can get]<<<<<
         -- NightShade (14:09:03/10.31.54)

>>>>>[I have recieved the package you sent me Solitaire. After a quick DNA
scan and match I have verified the it is Morkai/Wyrm 's head on the spear.
He is now assuredly dead, and you have delivered onto me the proof. All
terms of your end of the bargain have been fulfilled. I congratulate you
on your success, and deeply apologize for its cost. I did not wish AJ's
death, nor anyone elses except for Wyrm's. I feel for your loss. You may
not believe this, but I truly do admire you, AJ, and even Wyrm. But it was
all necessary for a higher good. Now it is encumbent on me to keep up my
bargain -- and so I shall. Diana is even now being delivered by aerodyne
to Seattle Aeroport. She will step of the aerodyne is 5 minutes, Tir
National Gate A. With her is a credstick in the amount of 3 million nuyen.
Note that this is NOT payment for killing Wyrm, or any other deeds that
you did in my service. It is recompense to the injured and dead for
medical bills, equipment loss, etc... It is up to you what to do now - you
may feel revenge necessary, I advise against it. You might be able to kill
me, I don't doubt that you really could, in fact, but it would take more
lives and suffering to do so. Diana will tell you that I am not an evil
man. I shall endevour to rectify this situation some- what by introducing
a Royal Legislative Request: The Species Refuge Bill to the the Star
Assembly and the Council, making Tir Tairngire a refuge for certain hunted
species,such as vampyres, and allowing these species to apply for
citizenship if they can prove Sentience and and their ability to refrain
from illegal activity. I wish you and Diana well, may you someday forgive
me.]<<<<<
