disappeared into the shadows.  For those who are interested, I now have a
ring on my finger from a wonderful man.  We got married on a trip to the
California Free State which is where we've been for about the last month. 
However, the honeymoon was spent in the mountains of Tir Tairngire
WORKING!!!  Oh how I love my job.  Anyway, we had good resolution to a
number of issues and hopefully, we won't be heading to the Tir any time
soon.  (Boy those border guards are a fraggin' pain.) It's good to be back
in Seattle again.  I'm looking for work, so is Shields.  If you need a
decker, or a Snake Shaman (healer) for anything.  let me know.]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Heh heh, IBA has had to go out on some business so I thought I'd fill
you in on his poor predicament.  Oooh dear, my eyes are still watering at the
amount of humor that the last few days have provided me.

I don't know if you remember, but a good while ago, can't remember exactly how
long ago, but IBA got one of his young girls in some trouble and had a vendetta
against him from her father.  Well we managed to convince the father that it
was a real 'bad' idea trying to make a hit on IBA and everything seemed ok.
The girl <was 16 at the time>, went back to ma and pa wageslave and the gal
was going to get an abortion.

That at least was the plan, it seems however the gal had a big falling out with
her folks and did a runner.  She's spent the rest of the time hanging out with
God's Razors, a thrill gang based in Tacoma.  Well she gave birth and 3 weeks
ago what happens but IBA runs into her while on some gang business of his own
and she gives him hell !  Real hell..  Aww the poor lad.  It was quite amusing,
after he'd told her to frag off a few times and thrown in various other
accusations about the parentage of the child and what the gal had been up to,
and what's more trying to do.  He calmed down, still pretty fragged off, but
at this point about 5 of the gals gang friends arrived.  Now myself and IBA
can handle 5 gangers before breakfast, but ahh this was his ballgame.  I
was enjoying myself far too much, in the end he agreed to an independant DNA
check by a fixer we all knew and it came up positive :)

IBA is still fragged off but he's been getting used to the idea.  In fact that's
where he's just gone to visit the gal and pass on a spare credstick or two we
had lying around.

Seriously though, don't rib him too much, but ohhh you should have seen his
face when the gal looked down and said 'Luke, come and meet your daddy' ]<<<<<

was not as good a blind as i thought *snicker*, but i degress... 

To cross...Thank you for offering my "bodyguard" Widow the job. But it
seems that all that cyberware in her head gives her the idea that she can
take on the world all by herself. She forgot that we have "buisness" in
about 28 hours (She seems to think thats enough time to blow up the world
and still be home for cornflakes...)

Now, that brings me to my original reason for this net babble. Seems that
the "Black Co." has a little job we can sub-contract out to anyone in need
for work. In about 28 hours, there will be many minor firefights running
through out seattle (don't ask me where, if you are anywhere near one, you
will KNOW where...), and the "Co." needs a few distractions to help carry
out their major objective. 

If anyone is interested, be carrying "light/portable/effective firepower",
and transmit on *encrypted*. We have paid through the nose to have
satellite access to the seattle area for a limited period of time. So we
will receive your signal, you will be vid spotted, recorded, and your
kills will be paid for by the numbers. 

We have a decker to co-ordinate, a rigger for tactical/to keep LONESTAR
off our backs *we hope*. All we really need are warm bodies to keep the
fight going till we are "in and out". Trust me chummers', this is the type
of run that they make vid's about. 

"C.C." will post the reasons/results no matter what happens, wish us luck!

>>>>>] Hello Ice, pass the word along that I'll not be needing the services
after all any ol way.  My time tables got moved up a bit, and I had to make do
with a lazer mike and phone taps.  Next time though I think I'll go for some
sorta infra red masking suit.  Interesting set up they have over there on Lake
Shore drive, their not kidding baout the AAA Security Rating.  But give me
time I'll get used to Seattle yet.

As for diversionary efforts, if this thing you've got planned is of the scale
it sounds like, I've some friends that wouldnt mind using the cover for work
of their own.  Can you send the time of the fireworks to *<Encrypted>* if this
is all right by you. ?

Well got to run myself, Nurse is do back with the meds soon, and I don't need
to have her catch me in her office.  Word to the wise though, never _Ever_
apply a trauma patch to a head wound. ]<<<<<

English accent and be wearing an old grey duster. oh yes I'm an Elf *grin*.

On a more serious note. Dark Angel and Basilisk, if you two are still about
and have little to do, one of my team disappeared last night. He was running
cover outside of the building. He hasn't turn up yet. Normally I wouldn't
be concerned, but he had a damn good reason to be back on time.
His Handle is Time-bomb, an 18 year-old Ork, 6'7", 270 pounds, cybered and
has a Star of David tatoo on his left arm. He's more than capable in taking
care of himself and easily angered.

I can pay for any useful info on his whereabouts. I'm just worried *sigh*
Maybe I'm getting to old for this biz,the  paranoia getting to me.]<<<<<

would appreciate having a face to go with the description.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Sorry about that excited comment, I'm just not real emotionally
outgoing.  We should send some watcher to find Templar, they're good for
mundane legwork like that.  I forgot to tell ya last night, but the only good
thing about the whole gang incident was that one of them tried to mess with my
car.  All that was left of him was a few ashes in the gutter.  What a moron,
thinking a car like that wouldnt be protected.  Oh, by the way, it was nice to
see still living also.]>>>>>

I ran into some unwanted problems from the homeland.  I think it might be
better to stay clear of me for the next few days, as I could get a little
messed up.  Just wanted to say that it's been a pleasure to see you two
pros in action.  I'm sure, once I've cleared my problems away that we can
meet for more biz.]<<<<<

***** PRIVATE: Corrosion, Templar
>>>>>[My dear friend Templar, it is nice to know that you too survived the
business with this vampire, but I'm afraid that it is not possible for us to
-as you say - stay clear of you. remember - you have the video tape which
proofs that we finished our task, so you should give them to us, before you
hide from your problems at home. If you should not be able to attend our next
meeting in the Copacaban at 2000 hours please make sure that we get a copy
of that tape tonight.

Corrosion, as you've already heard it is not necessary to send a watcher for
Templar, he must have made contact with you, too. I hope he will send us the
tape today, if he is not able to join us himself this evening. Do you think
it is necessary to take additional measures to get the young lady savely back
to Seattle? I have to confess - although I usually like the presence of pretty
young women - that in this case I can't get rid of her fast enough, I feel
she causes too much trouble]<<<<<

Ok, folks. By now you should have seen the explosions at almost every poly
club chapter in the greater seattle area. All you meta-human's out there.
get first crack at them *snicker*. 500 nuyen a head folks, and make it good,
the more you get, the better chance we have of getting out of this little
fraggen'frackas alive.

If you see a group in black, don't shoot us please *grin*, we will be hopping
all over the seattle area trying to settle a blood feud (and hopefully save
a major portion of seattle at the same time, Damn! This is costing a bundle!
An it took us so long to earn it too! *sigh*).

Btw, if anyone out there spots an INSCECT shamaness, KILL HER! If you do,
we might all live to talk about it (I really hate high profile missions,
really i do).

Updates to come throughout the night folks, thanks for the help...
