The best opportunity we may have to grab the target will be when he's in his limo. Like most top exec-types he's got a vice: every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday he visits a local...ah.. masseuse parlor, like clockwork. Preliminary surveilance suggests that a spotter drone follows along behind the limo. We're fairly certain the drone is following the limo itself because after the exec gets dropped off, the driver finds himself a joygirl and they conduct business in the back of the limo in a park with the drone floating along behind at a discreet distance. We're not exactly certain as to the origin of the drone control signals but a contact inside the target's computer section suggests that a cluster off of the main computer may be running the drone. (I can probably get the Matrix architecture of the cluster if you need it.) Our contact says that each drone (suggesting there are several: spotters and hunters of various types I presume) is controlled through an SPU tied to both a Slave Module and an I/O Port. Each SPU is then tied to the CPU through a single DLJ. The DLJ appears to be the best target with the CPU a close second. (My opinion with Spark's concurrence, but he's just a suck-up anyway. I think he got lost somewhere around the idea of a computer controlling the drones. Possible, just a fairly sophisticated expert system or some damn creative tweaking of existing equipment. Could a computer use...say.... the same programming as standard skillsofts to do this?) I'm most worried about interrogation from an outside source and outside monitoring. If the computer IS running the whole show I don't see where there could be any problems, once things get started. Waitaminnit, if the drone isn't following anymore we could just kick in the door of the whorehouse and grab 'im..... (Aaargh! Fraggin' tunnel vision. One plan sounds so damn good the most obvious is totally missed.) That makes for one helluva good contingency. I think Majikthize the Human Camera and I need a back rub.....

What I need are people who can find the Funkmaster, and see that he comes to no harm, until I arrive to collect him. I am establishing a command center in San Francisco, and can be reached there.

The Funkmaster frequently travels throughout the Americas doing this. He explains the difficulty personal and lifestyle changes the new vampires will experience and tries to teach them to cope, and maintain a generally healthy outlook. A flashy and charming man, the Vipe has many friends in the entertainment business, and was staying with a young simsense model named Lady Godiva.

Hey, can I have a copy of that lady pic...***LINK TERMINATED AT SOURCE***]<<<<< -- Dark Angel >>>>>[Serves you right...*smile*]<<<<< -- Patricia O'Connor >>>>>[ Jean St. Jacques, in a private letter from Doc Grizzle, he mentioned the Universal Brotherhood. All he said was that it was a dark place where no person who cared about his fellow (meta)humans would want to live. This was surprising to me considering two facts. 1) He didn't talk about it at all while he was alive. 2) That whole statement isn't consistent with what the Brotherhood claims as goals. Since I don't know the Brotherhood, but I trust the letter, I would strongly reccommend that you do not retire your self to them. On the other side of the note, and this has nothing to do with Jean, Highlander yesterday went on a little test run to see if the chip still worked -- aparently the government was quick. They changed most of the encryptions so it was really pretty moot point. But be that as it is. I sent it through private carrier to a person who works with the UCAS government.
