>>>>>[ Oh man, I was right, this isn't like Fenris, ummm, I guess this will clue you'll in... *****Include: clip dgg2456476 (Picture comes into view of a standard news update set, with an Australia channel insignia, currently paused, suddenly the pause is released) "At appoximately 1.15pm today the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs was shot dead as he emerged from a lunch meeting. Several anti-aboriginal riots have since flared up around the country, although official sources are adamant that the assassins, who are still at large, are definately not aboriginal. Officials do admit, however, that the killing is linked to the five other public servant deaths around the country in recent weeks. It appears that all five victims were responsible for key parts of the new land rights bill scheduled to go before parliment next month. Authorities claim that all copies of said bill have apparently gone missing, and that no one in the public service left alive has had more than a rudimentary glance at the missing bill." *****Endclip Oh man, this is not good. Speed, how soon can you be in position for an extraction, at this stage it may have to be considered hostile, someone must have lost their mind...]<<<<< -- Courier <22:06:29/07-20-55> >>>>>[ Courier, dude, slow down, they know what the penalty is, and they took the risk. And for the rest of you fine folks, that minister was as dirty as hell, man, did he have his hand in a lot of pockets. Umm, the extraction is a good idea though, schedule it for, hmm, 31st, that should give the old wolf enough time to do his thing, ohhh, make the pull out of cape york. ]<<<<< -- Dancer <22:12:56/07-20-55> >>>>>[ Dancer??? Who the hell are you??? And there ain't no way I'm setting a pick up there, you just broadcast the locale to everyone, what are you, an ametuer. ]<<<<< -- Courier <22:16:21/07-20-55> *****Encrypt: Shades of Darkness, Private to: Courier, Speed >>>>>[ Part of the job, we gotta make sure it looks like the team dies getting away, doesn't have to fool the government, just make sure it's a good enough show to convince all the voters. From what I've been told you should be able to manage that. As for me, well, I've been doing a little matrix work for your friends, oh yeah, confirmation code is 'Viper Tango Wolf'. ]<<<<< -- Dancer <22:19:43/07-20-55> >>>>>[ Ok Speed drop me a line, let me know what you need, I'll be working on a scaring up a small sub... ]<<<<< -- Courier <22:25:39/07-20-55> >>>>>[ Courier sure I can help ya out, Cape York ya say ? Nah problems.]<<<<< -Speed (12:30:11/7.22.55) *****PRIVATE Courier >>>>>[ Hopefully that will keep the deception up. Courier, Dancer I don't know who either of you are but you seem to know about Fenris and SpotOn so ma' buddy Powerhouse is financing my little trip down their, so don't you's worry about the cost. Just make sure we can get medical attention if we need it. I do have something that will do the job, a boatplane, decked out with as much stealthware as it can carry, PH even passed some Ruthenium fibre sheeting my way once . I suggest we meet somewhere in the Pacific, I've a few contacts who can fix us up on a floating freetraders platform in the South Pacific, should be a good base till we get the lay of the land. Oh and if the boatplane isn't good enough I know a guy who has a Banshee for hire :) Oh ahh nearly forgot, PH said to let you know that if the extraction is gonna be on the 31st he'll be able to help as he'll have finished his business by then. ]<<<<< -Speed (12:38:06/7.22.55) >>>>>[Well, it certainly has been quiet lately! Not that I'm without blame, being quiet myself, and muffling the great Highlander along with me. But, with my vacation about to end, I decided that I needed to spend some......quality time with Colin. Hope you don't mind Cerise, seeing as how you have the lad all to yourself most of the time. ;> I'll be flying back Sunday--I almost talked Colin into coming back with me for a little while. I keep telling him the whole mess with Fuchi has been forgotten, but he doesn't want to believe me. He'll never forgive them for Ian...... Anyway, it's been a pleasure meeting you folks. I'll be saying so long to everyone I've met here, but I just wanted to let you all know what I've been up to (and Colin, as well).]<<<<< --Heather (01:38:45/7-23-555) >>>>>[Some things you can never forget. Or forgive. Keep that in mind, lass.]<<<<< --Highlander (01;40:51/7-23-55) >>>>>[ Now, Heather, Highlander and yourself are still going to meet us for brunch before you leave? We want to wish you a safe trip. ]<<<<< -- Raven the Mage <10:46:31/07-24-55> >>>>>[ Yeah, and getting those reservations wasn't easy either. ]<<<<< -- Nightstalker <10:47:51/07-24-55> *****PRIVATE: Speed, Dancer >>>>>[ Hmm, the boat-plane sounds fine, actually it's a great idea, the only sub I was able to get a line on was meltdown hot. Now if you leave it moored in an isolated spot, I should be able to arrange for some appropriately placed SCUBA tanks, I've been notified that they already have a decoy boat, for the authorities to blow up. I still dont like it though, too open to a double cross. Dancer, make sure that the primary's dont find out how, they just need to know it's gonna happen... By the way, something that worries me, what about the legislation, I mean, _why_ did you guys go to the trouble of stealing a piece of legislation, is that what you're using to 'mail the government into letting you leave? If that's the case, tell me, 'cause it's certain that they will try to burn ya's ]<<<<< -- Courier <00:49:52/07-25-55> *****PRIVATE: Courier >>>>>[ I've been authorised to let you know this much, although it's gonna be a bugger to destroy the record of this message... They didn't steal the bill, they were hired to destroy it! ]<<<<< -- Dancer <01:15:00/07-25-55> >>>>>[ So, Heather's here, and I wasn't even around to go pick her up, eh, Highlander? And I so wanted to see you squirm when she got here.. ;) ]<<<<< -- CoHort <15:01:01/07-25-55> *****PRIVATE Courier, Dancer >>>>>[ Well I don't know anything about this bill 'cept what you guys told me. Anyway PH has forwarded the nuyen and I can be in the South Pacific tommorow if you need me, as to PH well I think he's still interested in helping his old chummers out but is finding current commitments difficult to get away from. Drop me a line when you want me to move in. ]<<<<< -Speed (11:36:49/7.25.55) >>>>>[You have no idea how sorry I am to have missed that, CoHort. Really lad, I mean that. A crying shame.]<<<<< --Highlander (22:21:43/7-25-55) >>>>>[ I have to agree with Cyberbrains, Cohort. You would have just loved to meet Heather. She's a great gal, even if she was nudging in on my turf. ]<<<<< -- Cerise <22:49:49/07-25-55> >>>>>[ Silent Currents - Electronics in demanding circumstances ]<<<<< -- Silence < 15:37:54 / 26-07-55 > >>>>>[ Actually, Cerise, I was referring to something that happened between me & Highlander awhile back, shortly after a party I held. And, apparently, HE got it ;) ]<<<<< -- CoHort <01:25:42/07-26-55> >>>>>[ So Heather, are you still interested in meeting me :) I've a few days spare before I have to jet off again. Ring me tonight, Highlander, Raven, Cerise or Nightstalker can give you my number. It's about time I actually enjoyed myself after the last month or two. ]<<<<< -The Powerhouse (17:41:17/26.7.55) *****PRIVATE Courier, Dancer >>>>>[ I'm ready at this end, have you heard of Bead Island ? Used to be part of Indonesia years ago. The locals got a bit irrate at the way their govt. was allowing some corp to exploit them and set up on their own. It's a bit of a free trader's paradise, taxes are low or nonexistant and the security forces are easy to bribe. The whole place fills a sort of anything goes nook in the local area. Well meet me there at 'Laughing Sailor' and ask for Domino. She's a dancer and good looking, but don't try anything as she's a physical adept. ]<<<<< -Speed (18:46:11/7.26.55) >>>>>[ Hey Macros did I hear you say a while back that Atzlan was hard to get into ? Hah ! You also don't want to belive everything you hear about the UB if the source is Atzlan, believe me, and I'm no UB stoolie. Ah, well those little Azzies have probably got a few puzzles to sort out right now.

I have no projects currently and i am fully recharged thanking a nice vacation courtesy of an un-named corporation. If you are needing references, check with Herr Freddy Frypp of Frypp Sec. But I am thinking you need services now, so i am already starting to remove traces i am finding in Seattle. I will then burn traces in Atzlan that i find.

If your trouble is with the Universal Brotherhood well I'm afraid I really can't help you, all I've heard is rumors and nothing else. But first I think it's about time I had another pint. Gawd, have I missed the brew recently. ]<<<<< -The Powerhouse (13:39:24/27.7.55) >>>>>[ Oh, nearly forgot. Cerise, seeing as Heather is out of town do you fancy going out ?
