>>>[A decker friend found this on Virtual Light and Magic's corporate Matrix site. Not knowing magic, he asked my opinion on it. It looks legit, and some of it is downright interesting. I've cut out all the dry magical theory stuff; anyone Awakened who's interested in working this out practically with me is welcome to contact me at ialdabaoth@shadowland.denver.ucas ]<<<

WARNING: This is a CONFIDENTIAL VLM DOCUMENT. Possession outside VLM premises is grounds for IMMEDIATE termination, revocation of priveleges, and counts as a breach of your Jedi Oath[TM]. Please treat this document as a CLASS A-1 TRADE SECRET.

Welcome to Virtual Light and Magic[TM]'s Advanced Security Team, the Jedi Knights[TM]! You have been hired by VLM[TM] because you have shown aptitude and dedication in the paranatural arts, and more importantly, because you have shown dedication and devotion to the ideals of Virtual Light and Magic[TM] and our founder, George Lucas Sr.

Virtual Light and Magic expects its Jedi Knights[TM] to serve three functions in its organization, all of which provide interesting and unique opportunities for our staff.

Second, our VLM[TM] production teams often recruit from our Knights for stuntwork and support roles, awarding you opportunity for increased pay and personal fame. Third, our site defense contract with Ares Macrotechnology[TM] provides for our Jedi Knights[TM] to provide paranatural defense to augment our asset security division. All Jedi Knights[TM] may be called upon at any time to provide one or more of these duties.

As a visible representative of VLM[TM]'s corporate interests, a Jedi Knight[TM] must maintain proper decorum and conduct at all times.
