I hope you are feeling well. I do apologize for the housing arrangements, but they were the best that I could come up with on such short notice. Moriarity: What do you want, Nicole.... V: Such manners. Politeness is an art, Pete, something everyone should practice, regardless thier current station or turn of fortune. M: Give me a break, Nicole. I am being polite. Would you prefer that I put every ounce of sarcasm I can muster into my politeness, or would you prefer blunt honesty? I can do either, but I have no energy for politeness. What do you want, Nicole? V: Merely to tell you the good news, and to ask a question. Which would you prefer? How about the news. M: Fine. I take it you're dying of a terminal disease? V: Excellent! I'm glad to see you still have some fire left in you. Alas, no, I'm quite healthy. The news I have will, however, return some of your spirits. Maxim is saved, and at minimal cost. M: What? Crystal Night isn't going into affect? V: Hardly! The Big 8 saw the error of thier ways after our long talk, and are even now standing down the forces that they brought into play after the meeting. And we are also standing down our forces, returning to buisness as usual. The Omega Order request has been withdrawn, just before, our agent has informed us, it was about to be granted. We seem to have come to the brink of Corp War and then withdrawn just in time. M: I'm very glad to hear that, Nicole. But what did you have to offer them in return? V: Nothing. I merely pointed out that, at our advanced state of readiness, they couldn't possibly destroy us before we had done enough damage to them to make it no longer worth thier effort. And when I added the logical extension that none of them would be able to resist taking shots at each other in the process, and the final conclusion that this would lead to Corp War, they all but rushed to their commlinks to order the mandate withdrawn. M: Give me a little credit, Nicole. I ran this company for a long time, and I know it's ins and outs better than you do. I also know the way the Big 8 work, and what you described wouldn't work. They don't like to be coerced, and none of them are stupid enough to be caught without at least 5 aces. I'll ask it again-- what did you have to offer them? V: I.....well, The Org, of course. M: I thought as much. So you gave them the only thing that equalized the odds, that kept them from destroying us in the first place. You know that, since we are now effectively defenseless against them, they will again request an Omega Order, and we will be destroyed without so much as a whimper. V: If I remember correctly, you would have allowed that anyway. M: YES! It would have saved the world from Corp War! V: Do you hear shells impacting the building? Are there jets screaming overhead, dropping bombs on us? The world IS safe from Corp War! And Maxim didn't become a sacraficial lamb to the collective peace. We're still here, Pete. My option worked. M: It's only a matter of time, Nicole, before you do hear those shells falling on us. V: Wrong. You see, some other good news is that Maxim Arms now has a new subsidiary, Maxim Security, Incorporated. It's taking over the security contracts that MAS used to hold. Just inter- division transfers, really, but there are other signifigant changes as well. Specifically, MSI has already fully consolidated The Org under its control. M: Consolidated it? So The Org, or what's left of it, is now part of this Maxim Security Inc? V: That's right. And the total number of Maxim employees just jumped by 20 And our total extraterritorial facilities has gone from 23 to 56. 430f The Org's Outlets have been consolidated under Maxim control, making them invulnerable to the agreement I hacked out with the Big 8. And short of armed assault, there is nothing they can do about it. M: But what about the Agents? What happens to them? We have over 10000 Agents in the Big 8 alone. Without them we have no advantage to stop the Big 8 from conducting a shadow-war against us. V: About half have been turned over to thier employer's sense of justice. M: (pauses) That's really sick. Those are men and women with families, futures. V: They should have thought of that before they accepted The Org. M: Most of them only accepted us because we gave them personal guarantees that they'd never be sold out. You just broke those guarantees. V: If it makes you feel any better, The Org didn't sell them out. Maxim did. By my orders, of course, but by the time their names were given to thier employers The Org had officially ceased to exist. But I'm no fool, Pete. Maxim kept on the best and the brightest. We still have control of some 3000 agents in the Big 8, with another 2000 in process. But since the official reason for the Omega Order request was the intelligence assets we had brought to bear on the Big 8, we had to cut our Agents far enough to make them think we had actually destroyed them all. M: The Big 8 will know that isn't true, of course. V: Of course. But they have no current means to root out the rest of our agents, and regardless of the nature of the delusion, they must continue to publically believe that they caught all the Agents or we may return to the brink again, something no-one wants. It would be so bad for buisness. And to forgo your next question, the remainder of the Outlets are being abandoned and purged so that, when they actually do get raided, the raiders find nothing of real usefulness. M: I'm growing tired of this all. What was your question? V: Will you please sign over all your shares to me personally? M: (laughs long and hard) I see you still have a sense of humor, Nicole. Why the hell would I do such a thing? V: To save your life. M: Killing me will serve no purpose. My shares all return to Alex in the event of my murder. V: True, but murder is such a harsh word. After bribing your lawyer and gaining access to your will, in the event of a natural death, all your shares are passed down to the chosen heir. This was Collussus, before he had an unfortunate accident with an Anti-Vehicle missile. As next in line, your death would mean that I get the shares. M: Damn you, Nicole. So, why not just make it appear to be a natural death and get it over with? I'm sure you could do that. V: Believe me, the thought had occured. But Maxim can show no weaknesses now. Your death, however timely to my purposes, would generate problems that the Big 8 could use to thier advantage and that would put us in a situation that would put us behind schedule for years to come. This cannot happen. Therefore, I want you to sign over all your shares to me, signed and witnessed before the entire Board. And I'll get what I want, and you'll stay alive to live out a full life. M: Why should I do this? If I can't be at the helm, why should I let you be? You were willing to cause Corp War, something that would destroy the planet. What insane notion makes you think I'd allow that? V: Simple. I know how your mind works. I know you've put too much of yourself into Maxim to let it die with you. You might have started out as a simple Electronics Engineer and security tech, but you became a buisnessman, addicted to the hustle and bustle of the corporate world where double and triple-crosses are everyday occurances and the only thing that matters is profit, although in your particular case, human life takes a place as well. You could not stand to let Maxim die, Pete, and I know it. M: Go to hell, Nicole.... V: If I believed in it, I probably would. But you'll do what I ask. M: Yes.... I will. Assemble the Board. V: Excellent! They are already assembled. Come, and we'll get you on with the rest of your life. M: I am not a fool, Nicole. I know that as soon as I sign the papers, I am a dead man. You cannot leave me alive any more than you can Alex or his daughter. The three of us command more respect through friendship and contacts than you could through all your forces of profit and arms. V: I'm sorry to say it, but you're wrong. You really are a fool. If you weren't, you would have been able to stop me. Poor Pete. Come, let us finish buisness. M: At least let me die honorably, Nicole.... +++++End Security Log, Cell #1+++++ ]<<<<< -- Velli <14:38:16/11-07-55> >>>>>[Scan this drek chummers. I've been waitin' for two days for the media to get ahold of my latest exploit and finally it turns up for the noon news. Blows my mind how much of this is totally wrong stuff.

Granted, they can never pin anything on me, but still it's nice to get noticed. Anyway, give this a gander. It wasn't one of my best performances, but I still got a kick out of the symbolism. +++++ BEGIN TRID: "This is Charlie Waters 'I-on-the-Marines' news. The day before yesterday, an explosion and fire rocked downtown San Francisco near the Presidio. A San Francisco Police Department spokesman originally announced that a fire had broken out in the tavern known as 'the Officer's Club' at around nine o'clock, soon after a group of Imperial Marines had entered. The alleged 'fire' began in the front of the building, away from the kitchen area. Police and Fire Department officials were not available for comment regarding why the fire broke out in the fron of the building. The fire damaged the facade of the building, as well as damaging the front entrance. Inside, several patrons were severly burned. A great deal of the souvenirs and memoriabilia of past wars were lost to the fire. The fire was said to be very stubborn and difficult for fire fighters to exstinguish. Sources inside the San Francisco Police Department suggest that when the fire had spread to the paneling of the interior, glues were ignited and fueled the fire. However, a source inside the SFPD's Investigative Division, told 'I- on-the-Marines' news that the fire was actually an incendiary car bomb detonated by members of Oakland's notorious Metahuman Action Committee. This footage, smuggled from the SFPD clearly shows a van, bearing the distinctive 'Rising Sun on a Bullseye' insignia of the Metahuman Action Committee's radical Family Stone, driving into the front of the Officer's Club and exploding. The body of one Walter "Big Wally" Garbonski, a known MAC collaborator, was found in the wreckage of the vehicle. I-Marine security assets believe that Garbonski was solely responsible for the bombing. Casualties, most of whom were I-Marines, were rushed to the Presidio Infirmary for treatment. Their conditions are being withheld, as per I-Marine Standard Procedure in terrorist incidents. In possibly related news, sources inside the Presidio have told me that only hours ago, a Great Sea Spirit manifest itself inside the offices of the Imperial Governor. The spirit was quickly banished by I-Marine mages. The Governor was unhurt in the incident. In light of these two terrorist acts, Imperial Marine security has raised its alert level. This is Charlie Waters, 'I-on-the-Marines' trideo news. +++++ END TRIDEO What a fraggin' crock. Big Wally wasn't driving the van. Nobody was. We set the autopilot and let it go. I know for a fact that Big Wally lost a race to the county line to an AVM three weeks ago. And another thing, the Metahuman Action Committee doesn't exist. The I-Marines just blame every terrorist act that they can't solve in the city on it. And the Family Stone, why that's just anybody who uses the "Rising Sun on a Bullseye", as the media so colorfly calls it. Really is too bad that Sea Spirit didn't drown the Governor. Not that I have anything against him personally, he's really a great guy. But the symbolism would be great. After all, half of a guerilla war is just psychology. I'm gonna have to figure out who did that.]<<<<< -- Freddy Frypp (13:59:11 / 11-07-55) President Frypp Security, Inc.

Again today Maxim Arms has made the news, this time on a more somber note. In a note to the Board of Directors, Maxim CEO Peter Hart talked of the emmense pressure he had been under recently, mentioning no details, and setting down his last requests before apparently taking his own life. This occured just after a Board meeting where he resigned his Presidency and transfered his controling share in Maxim stock to the new CEO, Nicole M. Velli. Ms. Velli had this to say: (Picture of a tall dwarven woman with brown hair and brown eyes, immaculately dressed in a charcoal pinstripe suit) "It is a terrible day when the current CEO feels not only that the stress of his job is taking too much of a tole on his life and he resigns, but to add the horror of suicide is just... too much to bear. Pete will be missed sorely by his friends, family, and the corporation that he raised, almost single-handedly from nothing to multi-nationalism and a world position second only to the Big 8." When asked what was being done with the body, Ms. Velli responded with the following: "Pete is being taken home to his family in London, where he will be given the burial that he requested in his last will and testament, forever to join the land he spent so much of his life away from. Escuse me..." There you have it. Peter Hart, ex-CEO of Maxim Arms, committed suicide earlier today in his office and will be buried within the week back on the Hart estate outside of London. His parents, Sir Matthew Hart and Lady Rosemarie Hart, could not be reached for comment.

SF International is outta the question, so I've been poking around some of the California Geologic Survey maps for another place to land. Somewhere way the hell out in the boonies. And have I found it. About 240 klicks north of San Fran (or about a hundred klicks shy of the buffer zone, depending on if yer a pessemist or not) there used to be the Round Valley Indian Reservation (back before the Indian Wars). Since all of the indians skipped over to the NAN, the reservation lay abandoned for a while. A group of free traders started flyin' out of its airfield around the time of the Tir succession. They smuggled people in and out of the Tir for about six months before a Great Dragon flamed them down. Anyway, I called up some more detailed maps and this place looks perfect. Like the name says, its just a round valley a thousand meters or so up in the mountains. The valley's about six klicks across with an airfield up in the northeastern corner. The airfield (which has been up there for about a century, so don't worry about poeple getting curious) looks about a klick long. The problem is gonna be terrain. The strip's about three hundred meters out onto the floor of the valley. The valley walls go up about 650 meters in less that 600 meters horizontally right north of the strip. You'll have about 4500 meters clear to the south. Now, also in the valley is the ghost town of Covello. Everybody I've checked with (mostly state government agencies) say that nobody has lived there since the formation of the NAN. Looks to be about a hundred abandoned buildings on the valley floor, centered on Covello.

He is very honorable and knows what he owes. Also if Blitzkrieg in his state saw what you said, you could be in hot enough water so that you could just volunteer yourself for a permanent swim in the Sound. Even if DragonEyes let it slide past, most of DragonEyes friends wouldn't. Let me put it this way. DragonEyes in a sense payed Crashkit back when he saved Crashkit's friend. DragonEyes priority was on paying attention to Blitzkrieg, and not Crashkit. That is his professional opinion on which one he would most regret if he didn't respond to it. Furthermore, as IBA released earlier, DragonEyes was well aware what being 'cared' for by Universal Brotherhood means. In matter of fact, I believe, he had a lot more trouble than you think making the raid on Universal Brotherhood. Shadowfox would probably know better though. I don't like people who backstab good men. He's done a lot of good with no questions asked. Don't go telling him what he has to do. He is probably much more aware of it than you could ever imagine. With that said, as per DragonEyes conditions, your whole bill at Doc Wagon will be paid for, aside from any cyber or bioware additions you decide that you would like to add. His original conditions were medical free of charge plus your share. Well, what do you want to do with your share?

Lord only knows he has suffered enough without having someone else try and cause him trouble. ]<<<<< -- Scourge <17:44:34/11-9-55> ***** Private: Scourge >>>>>[ Yes and yes.

It is good to see that some people still look out for each other. Which reminds me. . . if you have any information on Action Jackson, you might want to send it to Blitzkrieg. I don't think he is aware that AJ has been captured by the same people that he lost his arm too. (Although, if you don't pass any info on, I don't blame you...

And I don't like it one bit...]<<<<< --the Whistler<20:41:54/11-9-55> *****PRIVATE: Kor >>>>>[Uh, Kor, I think we need to have a little talk. In person. I just got back from, my, uh, last job, and it really doesn't bode well for you, to be brutally honest. We have to meet. If you are well enough, then come on back to Seatle. If not, I'll charter a flight down to the Carib and once your doctors clear you, and you have the strength, I have some very important news. Please, this is very urgent.]<<<<< --the Whistler<21:09:38/11-9-55> >>>>>[Man, the testosterone is getting thick around here. Men!]<<<<< -- Ice/Echo <23:34:31/11-09-55> >>>>>[Ice/Echo, if that last post was even partially inteded for me (which I fully suspect it was), then I suppose it is time I offered an explanation to the denizens of Shadowland. I'm not quite the bastard I'm sure many of you think I am. True, I am not the nicest guy here. However, it is also true that certain members of this board have the most damnable tendency to push certain of my buttons. Sometimes this is merely annoying. Other times, people such as Mr. Frypp unknowingly tread across very treacherous ground, knowing little of what they say. In any case, due to recent events beyond my control, and not directly involving me, I felt it was time to make something of a confession here. Absolve me or damn me, I really don't care. I just thought it would be a good time to clear the air.]<<<<< --the Whistler<21:46:58/11-9-55> ***** PRIVATE: Trixie >>>>>[Trixie, what the frag is going on? I wake up to find that YOU put a stop on my incoming mail and that you have been tinkering with my deck. You know I dont have a clue how to fix whatever it was you did to it. Luckly one of my doctors brought someone with him who know a bit about interfaces and got it fixed. What gives? And where is my helmet? And what were you doing here? I didnt send for you nor did I want you involved in anything like this. If you have it, I dont think you know what you have on your hands. If you value you life and your job, do NOT down load that data OR run it through the simulator. That is information for my eyes only. Put it away in a safe place and say WELL away from it. Its not safe in a magical way. I do not really appreciate your fiddling with my deck. Its taken me this long to find my mail and Winston guesses that it will take him another 2 or three hours to find the mail you deleted. Im going to let this one slide because I feel it in my heart that YOU felt you were doing this for my own good. Did YOU call my father? I can take care of myself you know! ]<<<<< -- Kor <06:26:00 / 11-10-55> ***** PRIVATE: Kor >>>>>[ I did it for you, boss. You were really fragged up when that Dances with Bears woman got you. I THOUGHT that you would have appreciated seeing a kind face when you woke up, I guess I was wrong. Frag me! As for your father, I didnt call him. I asked Waltzes with Bear about it and she said she didnt do it either. I dont know who did. I 'fiddled' with your deck to speed it up a bit so you werent hobbled as much when you jack in and I hoped that I fragged it up enough so you wouldnt go jacking in before you were well enough. AND I didnt delete no mail of yours. I only read it, saved it, and responded to the important stuff because you were still sleeping. Someone asked me if what you wanted them to do with your payment and I had them move it to an account down in the CL for you. I told the people in your little encrypted file (I uploaded a new encryption routine for you, yours was months old) that you got out safe. Some guy named the Whistler was looking for you to help him on a job but I told him that you were too sick to work just yet. Thats it, I swear it]<<<<< -- Trixie <07:05:00 / 11-10-55> ***** PRIVATE: the Whistler >>>>>[I'm going to be on my back for a good long time here. My doctor tells me that Im very much out of balance right now. You seem a little tense. Did you run into something you cant handle? I really am not in any condition to be of any help to you. I have a smallish army down here with me right now (that in and of itself is a mystery) but I would rather you not bring me any trouble now. I have more than I can handle. My doctor has been giving me a lecture every hour on the hour about ruining my body with cyber and bioware, meddling in places I should have been, life on the run...you name it, he's given me hell about. If you are dead set on coming down and having a rum and coke with me, thats fine...might keep you out of trouble. I've noticed that you and Freddy are going a couple of rounds these days. One of these days you will learn to be a little more subtle. Have you ever thought of embracing Bear and following her ways?]<<<<< -- Kor <06:45:34 / 11-10-55> ***** PRIVATE: the Whistler >>>>>[My deck got scozzled by a young 'un doing me a 'favor'. Sorry for the lost mail. The intended is Sondra Transton. You prolly dont know her. She and I have been dating off and one for a while and she and I are going to be getting married soon. She called me last night, I was sleeping, unfortunately, and said that she had gotten delayed a bit and should be here in a couple of days. Im going to do it. Im going to ask her to marry me. I was a little hesitant at first, with Powerhouse and all, but I think my luck is finally turning around. Hey, and what they tell you about hospital food...is right. If you can ever help it, dont go to a hospital. If you can afford it, move a suite into the back room of your house and relax there. At least the food is better. Tomorrow they are going to let me sit out on the beach, soak up some sun, and "heal" out there. Bonus, huh? Well, I gotta get back to sleeping some more. I have to put in 10 -15 hours a day resting or asleep or my doctor get pissed at me. Oh, by the way, DO NOT try to make the jump out of your body when you are seriously injured. Sure you can make it but it hurts like hell. ]<<<<< -- Kor <06:59:40 / 11-10-55> ***** PRIVATE: DragonEyes, Cerise >>>>>[Some of my mail got scrozzled. Thanks again. Im alive. Im actually checking up on somone. Its not that I dont trust her, its that I dont trust her. Where is my payment scheduled to be deposited and when? I've been out for a couple of days and a friend took it upon themselves to block / answer mail for me. I she says she contacted you and requested that the payment be placed in an account. Just to be safe, assuming that you havent already done anything with it, please put it in accout >>account<< instead. +++++ Encyption: ON I also have a problem. The helmet of my armor was fitted with a 360 degree recording device. The chip AND the helmet is currently missing. Im sure you can guess what was on it. I have an idea where it is but I havent gotten confirmation on that yet. If it comes down to it, I might need someone to go and retrieve it for me. The footage should be nearly useless without the simulator software and hardware that I have back at home and there are only a handful of people that would know what to do with it if they were to find it. Im not alarmed ... SHIT [25 minute delay] Had to pretend to be asleep. Damned nurses have orders to spell me down if they find me awake. Can you belive it? Im PAYING for this type of service. But as I was saying. I am not totally alarmed yet. If it doesnt turn up here (if they took it off of me when they brought me it in it should be somewhere nearby or hidden in Pittsburgh. +++++ Encryption: Off In happier news, you are invited to come and lay on the beach with me anytime you like. I think I am going to settle down here. ]<<<<< -- Kor <07:08:55 / 11-10-55> *****Private: Spellslinger, Ripley >>>>>[ Guess what I have located the main office. And the leader is a fragen Human!!!! The whole thing is lead by this dude Walter Chantem. His plan is to brain wash the Orcs with nonesense, and get them to take over the world. You might seem that it sounds stupid but I went through some files in the office, and he has 2/3 of all Orcs under this spell. Oh yea might I add he is a mage and to break the spell we have to kill him. I checked out your friend while I was there he is OK. If you ever want to know if an Orc is under the spell just say Walter, and if he drops to his knees and starts to pray then kill him. I realy need your help in doing this, so tell me if you want to help.]<<<<< -- Tarkis
