Makes you wonder why JackPoint.

Indeed...what use it is to manipulate a bunch of miscreant, non-conformist, terrorist, criminal, prime-runners capable of any required expertise in Magic, Matrix operations, Combat, Demolitions, Interrogation, Piracy, Kidnappings and a general low-down on all the information you'll never see on a public Trid show.

Can't imagine why that would be interesting/...

Well, I don't see them going after the Nexus, Helix, or ShadowSea—All of which are arguably worse cesspools of scum and villainy. At least they're bigger.

I also want to mention that a lot of JackPointers are self-righteous douchebags and/or hypocrites when it comes to morality.

Maybe they are,

but we're just not seeing those posts as part of regular release schedules..

JackPoint is just far more visible to this particular forum of scum and villainy...

Anyway, going back to the comment in Spy Games, let me just say this: You're missing something.

Of course we are, that's half the fun.

One of the benefits of being a writer is that you know which words to emphasise in your head to both imply what is false, yet still give hints to what is true

One of the benefits of being a reader is that you don't get any of that emphasis insight, and can either spend time poring over every interpretation (literal, implied or otherwise), or find one you like and stick to it.

So, like I said... Vampires ;)

Or an immortal Drake from the 4th world.

Or a blood mage from the 4th world that had been "preserved" in a Locus since that age.

Or the Illuminati.

Or ... I'm starting to sound like Plan 9. I'd better stop.

Could it be Harlequin?  He could have easily been helped in by Frosty.

That's almost as crazy as Horizon not having a deep, dark secret to it.

...

Not saying it isn't true, however.  Be a twist for the conspiracy theorists to have something be exactly what it seems for once, and Shadowrunners are certainly paranoid enough for most "Average" Conspiracy Theorists.

I forgot what book it was in but our anonymous poster said "we" when referring to dragons of the 6th world.  Unless of course I just dreamed it.  I will have to go over my stuff to see if I can find the post.
Sorry Freddie, it was "their ilk"

Quote from: Spy Games, p. 136
Great dragons and their ilk have yet to accept that the world moves faster than them, and it has no regard for their plans. They may think long-term, but humans are unpredictable and a bit crazy. We’ve also been playing this game for millennia without end.

No problem Jack thank you for the correction.

The dragon Eliohann is mentioned as having a data jack on page 130 of Corporate Guide under the Celedyr entry.

But the same text also claims it being comatose since crash 2.0 (with some shadowtalk about a dragon ghost in the machine)...

Yeah. His main Matrix handle was Cerberus.

His body is comatose and unresponsive.

Never trust a dragon until you've autopsied the body.
