brain cells?  Not trying to freak, but I learned the hard way on my last run

>>>>>[Well, for anybody who's interested, here's what we got goin' on in
Chicago.  We stumbled across what used to be a news van and after rummaging
through the debris, found what remained of a vidcam.  Even though it was
kinda hidden under a pile of junk, it wasn't too badly damaged.  I spent a
couple of hours working on it and finally got it up and running.  Now we've
got Housefly with his sim rig and me with ye ole vidcam.  Sheesh, we're a
veritable remote news feed.  At any rate, here it is.

+++++INCLUDE VIDCAM.VID

You hear sound before you see any pictures.  Mumbling voices can be heard
and then, very distinctly, another voice.
        "You touch my camera and I'll slap the livin' crap out of you, you
dumbass trog."
        The picture fades in on a particularly large troll wearing a
make-shift ninja uniform.
        "Darn, Bedlam.  I was only gonna look at it," the troll says at
whoever is holding the camera.  "It's got all kinds of perty lights on it, huh?"
        "Yeah, Ed," Bedlam says from behind the camera.  "All kinds of lights."
        The troll leaps to his feet and strikes a ridiculous superhero pose
for the camera and shouts, "I'm Ed, Ninja Troll!!"
        "God, he pisses me off when he does that," Bedlam mumbles as the
camrea pans away from Ed.
        Even in the dim light, it is readily apparent that the group is in
what used to be a parking garage.  Burned out wrecks of vehicles are
scattered hither and yon.  The camera continues to pan to the left as the
rest of the group comes into frame.
        "There's Topcat.  He's the one leaning against the wreck of that van."
        The large elf gives Bedlam the finger.
        "The guy over there sharpening the katana is Dragon.  That's Roger
over there, sitting on the roof of that car."
        "What are ya filmin' for," Roger asks.  "There ain't nothin' goin'
on is there?"
        "For posterity."
        "Geez, you dandelion eaters are so damn weird."
        The picture goes dark for a moment as something passes in front of
the camera.  As the camera focus adjusts, the face of a grinning troll takes
up the entire frame.
        "Housefly, please stop mugging for the camera."
        "Okie dokie."
        The troll waves once at the camera and then steps out of frame.
        "Over there's Johnny and Tanp.  Hey Johnny, smile for the camera."
        "Get bent."
        "Man, why is everybody so touchy?  I mean, its not like--"
        "Pipe down!" Topcat says.  The camera pans toward Topcat.  He stands
battle-ready.  "I think we've got company."
        "Whaddya mean?" Bedlam asks.  "I don't hear anyth--  Oh hell."
        The picture bounces as Bedlam drops the camera.
        "What is that smell?"
        Roger leaps to his feet, magic crackling around his body.  "ROACHES!!"
        The air is filled with the stacato report of heavy weaponry as
Housefly and Topcat open fire on the group of roaches that shamble into
frame.  On the far right, you see Dragon leap into a graceful dance with his
katana, hacking away at the appendages of one of the roaches.  There is a
great flash of light as Roger hurls a ball of magical fire at the bugs.  One
of the roaches goes up in a white hot plume.
        "Eat shit," Roger yells as he prepares another spell.
        "I think they already do, if I'm not mistaken," Bedlam shouts as he
dives to intercept one of the roaches that was approaching Roger from
behind.  The roach sweeps Bedlam's feet, taking him to the ground.  On the
way to the ground, Bedlam lashes out with his katana, cleaving the roach
from fore to aft.
        "This job really sucks," Topcat shouts as he continues to unload
heavy ordinance into the roaches.
        "I'm Ed, Ninja Troll," Ed shieks as he lunges, katana in hand, at
one of the roaches.  Ed gets in one good blow on the roach before getting
bashed in the back of the head by another roach.  Ed slumps to the ground
like a marionette whose stings had been cut.
        "We've gotta get out of here, people," Topcat shouts.  "Housefly,
grab Ed.  Make for the exit!"
        There is wild commotion as Tanp runs forward and grabs the camera.
Housefly can be seen slinging the unconscious troll over his shoulder.  The
picture bounces wildly as the group runs for the exit.  They make it through
the exit, with the roaches close on the heels.  As they reach the door,
Roger turns around and unleashes a blast of magic and makes the earlier one
look like a candle on a birthday cake.  Unable to withstand the strain of
the spell on top of his already numerous injuries, Roger takes one step and
falls, face first to the ground.  Bedlam grabs the mage as they continue
their retreat.

+++++END VIDCAM.VID

        Well, chummers, that's what happened last night.  Right now we're
hanging out in what used to be a health club, I think.  Roger's all right,
just a little drained.  That last blast really did a number on those
roaches, though.  Boss.  Really boss.  Everybody else is a little banged up.
I've got a pretty good laceration on my leg.  Nothing a couple of stitches
didn't fix, though.  Ed, on the other hand, isn't doing so good.  Near as I
can tell, he's got a subdural hematoma, that is, he's bleeding into his
brain.  I had to put an emergency burr-hole in his head to relieve the
pressure, otherwise he'd have herniated the brain stem and died.  I think
he's stable.  I don't know, though.  I think Topcat had it right.  This job
really sucks.]<<<<<

I sent Kabuki a message a while back telling him that I had purchased some
vehicles dont in CFS with him in mind.  I knew they would need mods so I got
them down there to be easier for him to get to them and work on them.

Well, that was, I guess, about 3 days ago.  I also got him in touch with
a friend of mine.  Another security provider, armored Research and Devel.
I would guess that the two of them hit it off and he is really doing a number
on our new trucks.

I dont really think of it as skimming.  You are likely to get to play with them

I would be more than willing to assist with his education.  If he is as hot

Black Out Strikes Local Community.
If you were withhout power last night, then you weren't
alone.  Last night the entire second power grid lost power
for thirty-five minutes. BEC (Barbados Electric Company)
officials explained that there was a surge in the area
that tripped safety measures.

"Its would be like if you came home and turned on your
steam-presser, microcooker, and just about everything else
in your house at once.  We simply tripped a circuit breaker.
The only problem is that for us to reset it, we have to
let it cool off for twenty miutes, this prevents it from just
tripping allover again."

BEC assured us that measures have been taken to prevent this
sort of thing from happening again.]<<<<<<

Wednesday night are notoriously bad for club scenes, and
last night was no expection. _Blake's Bungalow_ was running an
open stage and audition forum, as he always does every other
Wednesday evening. I was 'privy' to view three acts that you may
or may not if lucky see in the up and comming weeks.

The evening started off with _Bleeding Orc Tounge_, an absurd
mixture of classical calypso, and 2030's sphyncter metal.  The
Bands Lead singer, and I can barely type the term when reffering
to him, Terrannce Berrent Psimith, used voice moduletors and
other toys to give him that "I've just gargled withh broken
glasses and swallowed it sound".

The real steel drums were a nice touch, but were under miked
and easilly drowned out by the constant , unrythmical pounding
of Tounge's drummer.  For those of you still currious,
vid tape as always is included, view at your own risk.

+++++Vid-Synth of _Bleeding Orc Tounge_
*Lould raukas noise, and steel drums!*
Drek it all,
Drek it all,
Drek it all the way!
Drek it all,
Drek it all,
Drek it night and day!
*snip*

The second band was an imporvement, but then what couldn't.
_Sim_, a 2 piece elctronic sim-reality band, enchanted some
of thhe local pugheads with dazzeling displays of cyber-mix.
While the preformance was, in a technical aspect, near perfect
there was no fealing to them.  There mix was cold hard and precise.
It makes me think that maybe Thomas 'Alt' Pikeus and Randall
Norriaga have pushed the limit on hw much hardware a human can
carry and still be human.  It should also be noted that
durring there wrapup they seemed to be using a rediculus
ammount of equipment.  They had prommised a finally 'to blow
your meager human minds away'.  Apparently all they did do was
blow the bars electrical system. (A connection to last nights
black out? Maybe.)

+++++Vid-Synth of _Sim_
*haunting sounds of dieing whales and buzzing
flies fill your audio, while immages of dwarves dressed
in 1700's Spanish Conquistidor costumes flog
a deceased enquine*
You aren't here
You aren't there
You will be anyway.

Blood of the prophits,
Blood of the whales
Blood of yours
Rotting in jails
*snip*

Durring the power outage the last band of the night set up.
By this time I was almost ready to slit my wrists.  It was
a five piece from the California Free State, _Jana and the
Heartbreakers_.  To my, and almost everyone supprise, they began
before the lights came on doing a 5 part accapella vocal
harmony that I later come to find is named _Time Cannon_
Then they launch into an accoustice set lasting about 10
minutes until the lights and power come back up.

The band seemed to handle this change in their format well
and put on a good whow for the remaining crowd. (Most had
left durring the black out, despite the free beer offered by
club owner Jonah Blake.  The Heartbreakers sound was reminisant
of late twentyth century 'Heavy Rock' with touches of mid 20's
'Shock-Tec' sound.  All and all, an unsuspect suprise, but one
most missed.

Where theres will, theres a way
Every dog will have his day
Those who wait are only wasting time

Pray for wisdom, dig for gold
You can't buy freedom by selling your soul
Gotta be willing to give them a piece of your mind

Let a clearer conscious lead you
Don't let anyone decieve you
When you heart cries out you must obey

Take it all the way
We can make it, *all the way*
We can take it, *all the way*
Come tommorow, come what may

I don't know, can't decide
The looser pays and the strong survive
So Take your shot, give it all you can

You better watch out, you better look around
'Cause what goes up is gonna come down.
Everybody lives by the law of supply and demand

Once you set a course don't change it
Luck will come to those who chase it
Don't let anything get it in your way

Take it all the way
We can make it, *all the way*
We can take it, *all the way*
Come tommorow, come what may
                *all the way*
We can take it, *all the way*
We can make it, *all the way*
Come tommorow, come what may

Power and Glory and Fortune an Fame
There is a price you must pay
Where do you go when you know that
You've gone all the way?
All the way.

All the way
We can make it, *all the way*
We can take it, *all the way*
Come tommorow, come what may
                *all the way*
We can take it, *all the way*
We can make it, *all the way*
Come tommorow, come what may
All the way
We can make it, *all the way*
Come tommorow, come what may
*snip*

All and all not a good night for music but maybe
we can look forward to a real _Jana and the Heartbreakers_
show soon.  Until Next time, Make mine music!]<<<<<<
