>>>>>[Welcome to THREADS! We aren’t ever going to be as big as ShadowSEA or VU93 or as elitist as JackPoint, but I hope you will find the information here useful. I have set up this host to manage the flow of information around the Seattle shadows and beyond and I will try and get as much of the paydata from my network up here for you to share as I reasonably can. It will take a while, I am still assimilating all the information I have inherited from Argent, and there are secrets that can’t be posted so I won’t be dumping the entire lot out there for all to see. But we are stronger working together and sharing information benefits all of us. Happy New Year and may the Pattern guide you]<<<<<

Now it seems as if she dropped the soap, so to speak. Her friend asked me to intervene - which I did. A Mr. Lee is now very mad at me for setting fire to his goon and flooding his offices. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[Well, if you have info on him that would be useful - getting out of the building required a certain... messy element, so I'm primarily interested who in the current power structure of Seattle would jump to assist Lee. Likewise who would be interested in a permanent removal of his person.
The firearms part comes later - if I find someone to pay me for it.]<<<<<

Yeah, I hope so too. Only one thing is worse than a dangerous job you likely won't get paid for - a job where you make enemies of fellow runners or their surviving friends and family.

>>>>>[Okay. Idea for a project! Uh... maybe a breaking into Shadowrunning list? I remember being a kid and being thrust into the 6th World. I was just a kid and I had the Dragonslayer to help me acclimate to my surroundings and society but uh... I imagine... a wageslave who doesn't even know that the Azzies are evil(They exist. Ive talked to them.)might be in for a shock if they ever get the blinders taken off and don't die in the intial event that takes the blinders off. We could make like... 10 topics that are important to know about the Shadows and each make an article about our expertises. If its either the Shadows or death I dunno. Altruism is an aspect of my Totem in a way. I guess it rubbed off on me. I got very lucky. Very lucky. Other people don't get that lucky. Plus it would give us street cred? I dunno.]<<<<<

>>>>>[@Retrosgr8
Not impossible, but limited in scope. For example I'll certainly not give out names or locations of useful contacts. I can give you my estimates and evaluations on weapons and gear.

User: Scatter (Sysop)/Post: #000000001:

Sorry about that. I kinda need to borrow your forum. NEOnet bastards finally made me hit the big time. Uh... I changed the format based on this site I saw once on a excusrsion. Hi. Friendly E-Ghost Scatter here! Anyone see my comatose body?


User: Retrosgr8/Post: #000000002

WHAT THE LIVING FUCK!? What happened to all the threads and posts!? Who the fuck are you? Is this a joke Silk?

>>>>>[Hi Scatter,
no idea where your body is. But I know someone who can get you a great replacement - they are always looking for new talent.

Oh by the way, the Koreans finally let the cat out of the bag: Someone's using magic to turn their people into inside-out Gulasch. Might be a lucrative gig if I can get info on their bird before they figure out how to deal with me.]<<<<<

User: Scatter (Sysop)/#000000108

I see you all found "settings". Well I prefer my old one... but I guess it couldn't hurt. Pm his info. Your all acting nonchalant for the fact I took over the place.

User: Gossamer (Sysop)/#000000113

Took over the place? Really? I think I might wish to contend that statement, this is my board!

User: Scatter (Sysop)/#000000198

...How can you tell? Like... what is... OWNERSHIP really? Its such an abstract concept. Do we really own anything? Or are we owned by aliens? How do we know? How can we tell?

User: Scatter (Sysop)/#000000163

Oh I know all about those. How do you think I got here? Long story short if I get kicked from here I go back into the Resonance!... I miss my old body. I had these cool tusks. And greenish skin. Also whats a "Shadowrun"? The guy wanted me to do a "Shadowrun" to crash the "Renrakuhosteuideot" Whats that?

User: Gossamer (Sysop)/#000000165

I don't know how you've done it Scatter but I don't seem to be able to revoke your access privileges. I guess I will have to go in to the Foundation and winkle you out

User: Silk /#000000166

Let's leave him and see how this plays out. Monitor his activity so that we can undo anything irreparably wrong

User: Gossamer (Sysop)/#000000167

If you say so, you're the one footing the cost

User: Retrosgr8 /#000000190

1: I have seen a lot of people on the other threads complain about this. You can see the timestamp if you tap on the post number once. Just found this out.

2: Scatter I am reasonably sure that man was being sarcastic because you acted like a dipshit on the meet. No offense.

3: HOW THE FUCK DID YOU TAKE DOWN THEIR HOST!? ITS ALL OVER THE GODAMN NEWS!

User: Scatter (Sysop)/#000000202

Oh. First I did a resonance thingy to fake an alarm for people to leave. Then the thingies came out looking for me so I did a resonance thingy so I was invisible. Then I did a thingy so that the thingies looking for me thought I was outside so they left the host. Then when everyone was gone I did a thingy! Then I went smash!

User: Retrosgr8 /#000000208



Link Here is Horizon news Trid video of them talking about the attack. How come Humanis is taking credit for the attack?



User: Scatter (Sysop)/#000000222

I did a thingy! I looked up a list of people that were bad and sent evidence indicting them! Now people are taking credit on their own! Good idea huh? Some of the other people on the thread explained that it was a good idea. I also hid this post so only people I trust could see these posts! Pretty smart huh?

User: Retrosgr8 /#000000237

THATS A HORRIBLE IDEA! ABANDON HOST HOLY SHIT!

Retrosgr8 has logged off.

User: Wyvern/#000000238

Hoi Chummers, you up to your eyeballs in soykaf yet? I is, been up two days straight and just got ahold of this datahaven. Wait let me fix my post settings.

>>>>>[Nice place you keep Gossamer, not sure if you remember but we met in a VR bar couple a weeks ago, I mention it because I was going by the handle Kaykiller. Got my real handle up now. Thanks for the invite to your datahaven. Wait what's going on with the posts? Who's Scatter? An e-ghost, for real?]>>>>>

>>>>>[Hiho, I'm not dead - again...
but I managed to stumble deeper into the rabbit hole. Now I seem to be stuck in a turf war between the Korean Mafia and some Neo-Pagan/Nature Worshipers/Hippie Spellcasters.
If anyone has any idea why those fuckers are so determined to turn each other inside out, I'd be more than curious to learn.
I just had to threaten two Ents and a Hippie Witch with a non existent crop sprayer filled with Agent Orange and Methyl-Mercury.

On a related note: Does anyone have a useful contact at a chemical distributor?]<<<<<
