I'm really sorry for our silence but we were in need to keep a low profile for some time. I am with Journey. Don't worry, he's fine but he needs some help. I think he had been drugged while he was kept by Tir Guardians. We found him in this state in his jail, but he doesn't seem to recover since the extraction 3 days ago. Perhaps he needs some magical help.... like me. Everything was good during the extraction, or I must say during the first part. We found Journey without problem. It seems also that this part was too easy, until we tried to reach the exit. I'm sure they were aware of our shadow, because they were waiting for us. Those guards were not there when we enter. They ambush us and consequently, we split. Sun try to make a diversion, while I try to go out with Journey. The last sight of Sun was bright flash going out of him and striking opponents. The diversion worked well, but I lost myself in the complex. Some doors were closed, while other not, like a path in the building. Unfortunately, some guards were waiting around a corner with enough firepower and magic power to frag a dragon. It seems it was not a good day to die, because I have succeeded to make Journey enter in an air conditionner shaft before they catch arrived. But their bullet succeeded in striking badly my legs and the bottom of my right hip. I only deceived them by throwing some toys ( flash & offensive grenades ). When I was out with Journey, I didn't find Sun. I only heard fire sounds on the other side of the building. I hope Sun's well. So Ms Eithne, if you had news about Sun, and if you want to meet me, call me and give me a rendez-vous. It will be a pleasure to meet you ( I hope everything will be fine. ).

Th eproblem with scouting this beast is the monstrous amount of data it generates... also it may very likely have the ability to detect ME as a data packet NOT coming from a source feed. Very hairy. Slow going. I any event: As far as I could detect, it only seems to cover about a (few?) hundered or so square meters. Lets say, for convinience that it blankets the entire floor (by that I means level) shades is held on, just for convinience. I do not think they are covering much more than that. After all, this is a corp. How many ltra high level security cell blocks do they NEED. I did some rough calculations as to what it would cost to do a full floor at *****LOCATION*****, and do it well. And run the damn thing. and keep it at peak operation..... to make a long story short, we are looking at MEGA nuyen... I estimate on the oder of one _billion_ (that is with B folks) to get the thing up and running. Hardware and software, and keeping the whole thing a secret the entire while (Ihadn't heard of it before this, had you?). Easily on that order of magnitude. A more interesting question is _WHY DID THEY BUILD IT?_ makes you wonder what/who else they have/had in there. Me personally, I would LOVE to get my hands on the algorithims for sorting the data flows they are working with. That alone is worth a run. Anyway, to answer your question. It seems as if just that one section of the basement is covered... but that is STILL gonna be a shitty hard extraction, let me tell you. I will do my best, but the nature of the beast is that _they will know_ when we hit it. Much as I am high ion myself, there is only so much I can do solo with the tools on hand.

Once out if the field I can lend y'all matrix cover with the best of them... they won't know for shit!

According to the Lone Star investigation report, the spirit that killed Tadstock was a toxic water elemental. At the crime scene there was evidence of a poisonous chemical solution that was used as conjuring source. Approximately two class D container barrels of the chemical Tributylarticene, a corrosive byproduct of the biomedical stimulant Detizene. There was evidence of magical battle which any decent mage or shaman could assertain was the result of a toxic battle. Lone Star's report also stated that there was proof that more than one person was present at the battle, although the identities of the other people is unknown. I think I'm going to dig into tadstock's personal background as well as the Universities records. I should have results by tomorrow.

As he noted in his last post he was observing the Envirotech Waste Recyling and Treatment Facility, unfortunately at this time I was enagaged in summoning a force 5 elemental, an excercise I'm sure the mages will understand is most time consuming and you cannot have your attention waver for a moment. When I did receive the message I travelled over there astrally with Sean accompanying myself. Listening in to people's conversations I understood that a series of explosions took place, possibly from the build up of a gas of some sort. The last explosion resulted in the containment facility of the toxic waste disposal unit being cracked and the resultant fumes from the fire were highly toxic in nature. Nightshade's proximity to the fire meant that he never had a chance to escape before being subject to the fumes. I found him face down in an alley a couple of blocks away with a number of sqautters about to take whatever Nightshade had left on him, fortunately the elemental I had just summoned was most perfect for the task and protected Nightshade's body until I was able to travel there in person myself. Not being a toxic specialist myself we had to enlist the aid of one of Sean's associates a Miss Nightingale, or at least I believe that is what she is known as. Her healing magics are most fortunately of the more powerful type and she had soon cleansed Nightshade of the substances infecting his body. He now sleeps peacefully recovering from his ordeal. I did however have chance to speak briefly with him until sleep forced his eyes to close. He claimed to have seen someone, a woman he claimed, at the site just moments before the explosion, he said he recognised her but alas he fell asleep before he could reveal anymore. What this does confirm however is that the seemingly random accidents happening over the world are not random, what is puzling however is the occurence of a new string of accidents, this time in Kiev. A small plane crash resulted there when a plane was forced to leave the runway to make way for the ballistic. On leaving the runway it's brakes failed and it crashed into a small terminal killing 23 people. While this may not be associated at all it is the second 'accident' to have occured in Kiev within the last few days. What makes it even more confusing though is it happened only 1/2 hour before the explosion at Envirotech. ]<<<<< -Spice (17:47:26/11.22.54) >>>>>[Consider it done, girl.]<<<<< -Hard-to-Catch <01:18:58/11-23-54> >>>>>[*ouch* *mumble* Fine.

My doctors tell me not to overexert myself, but I just want to have my audience well-informed. Ok... here is the News: The Virus: LoneStar and some Corps have been pooling their resources in trying to get rid of that Virus. They seemingly have succeeded in shutting down its Multiplication-Module and are now trying to clean out the affected areas. You should be able to access the Net normally, but there may be delays in sending, decking and resturn-messages. Geffen has been fined the sum of 35.000.000 NuYen for allowing this Viral- Construct to be placed in/escaping out of their system. They are protesting against this treatment, but the Corporate Court was adamant. Geffen also has to pay for damages rendered by the unknown assailant, that nearly knocked their main Studio down. The damage control and funds for the relatives of the dead lie in the vicinity of 140.000.000 NuYen. It is believed, that it might have been an attempt by Geffen to blame somebody else for the Virus (a Non-Existent outside threat) and therefore the whole fine lies on Geffens shoulders. Gang-Wars: Meanwhile the killing of gangs continous. This time the Reapers were the target of an attempt, with 14 dead and several injured, before the assailant(s) could be driven back. Witnesses claim to have seen a Troll and several smaller humanoids (small humans or dwarves) attacking two squadrons of Reapers on their home-turf. Both sides seem to have been using magic and the arriving LS mage could only support this. With this incident the bodycount is now UNKNOWN ASSAILANTS : 113 - GANGS : 0 (no corpses except those of the gangers have been found). Some gangs are getting frantic and there have been an increasing amount of border-crossings, hostilities and in some cases even small scale wars (but in all cases, except the ones mentioned earlier, all parties were known...).

According to UCLA Security files, Miss Tadstocks along with a couple other students were investigated a month before Tadstocks' death for what was called "Unethical Thaumaturgic Research." In other words, they were members of a small and secretive group of toxic shamans. In the file were interviews with various the various members, forensic and magical investigations of dormrooms and research labs. The whole bit. The other students included Jeffery Tamer, Wendy Griff, and Lance Hawkarm. There was also brief interviews conducted with a certain part-time professor at the college. It appears this prof taught classes in the inter-relationship of biology and magical studies. In case you haven't already guessed: Hilary Philips. Yes, our favorite fake Miranda Lees. Her involvment was very brief, for it appears that all three of these students were involved in research with Philips. She was dismissed as having any involvment. The security investigations were not very helpful towards Miss Tadstocks' death, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out it wasn't a simple escape spirit. There isn't going to be any other info to glean from this angle. This sure does shed some light one the incident though.

She was admitted to the Hong Kong International Instituate for Psyche Studies and Analysis four years ago, basically a fancy name for a top rated insane asylum. Psychiatrist reports (I took it upon myself to peek at their files) state that she was sufferring from acute paranoia and manic depression, but that she responded to treatment exceptionally well, and left of her own accord two years later. Tiana is in all probability laying low in SE Asia, either via the underground, or as a shadowrunner.

We know now that the person who contracted us for the original job is infact Hilary Philips. Now I do remember her name appearing on a list of the owners of Agrigen but the percentage was small 4% at most I seem to remember. She also has a husband working there, in charge of one of the research departments, Chris Philips, doesn't this link in with the Beaumont case somehow. I'm sure we came across Chris Philips' name earlier in our investigations. Bonejacker, I've got my suspicions about the mage who Nightshade saw, I think it's H.Philips, try and get a picture of her out of their personnel files if you can. If not we may have to engage in a bit of surveilance to see what we can dig up. I think the next stage is to try and find out what happened to the other members of the group, Jeffery Tamer, Wendy Griff, and Lance Hawkarm. We need to know what they are doing now and wether or not they're still involved with Philips. We could also do with some more info on Agrigen's activities in those sites around the world. Kiev has had more than it's fair share of disasters recently, that just leaves New Delhi, if our list is correct, which hasn't experienced local accidents. The random disasters in London and Sydney seem to have dried up now with odd ones or two here and there which are probably not related at all. We do seem to still be getting more than our fair share in Seattle though, however their frequency has dropped off from the first week with the datafaxes began to call the week of chaos. I'm going down to CalFree for a few days with Sean to talk to the professors there. We may be able to get more information from people who actually new this group than from what's available on the matrix. There is one question however, if as my brain is suspecting that the 5 codenames on the list represent the 5 members on the group, what happened to the 5th. Miss Tadstock died, who took over her position ? Just something else we need to be aware of.

The upshot of this is that the azzies sold off one junk panzer to Black's Junk Yard. However, according to my source, while the engines were wasted totally, the electronics were still pretty intact, and very much of use to me.
