>>>>>[I don't know a lot about New York, but I've met the 10,000 daggers before when I was a merc.  Nasty bunch, but most successful mercs are.  You have to be mean to get the big jobs and they've been around.  I think I have a write-up somewhere here on them and a couple of other merc groups.  When I get home, I'll dig it up and PM it to you.  It's not fully current, but it will give you some ideas and I believe the senior leadership of the bunch is still the same.]<<<<<

>>>>>>>[Don't worry about the write-up, Kitten, I've seen the 10,000 Daggers in the field more than once. I've  worked with and against them on a couple of different tours both with MET2K and as a freelancer.  Just wondering what was going down that they were involved in.  And why they were slumming it with those fragging Vultures. Never expected to see the Daggers working side by side with the 58th.]<<<<<<<

[The Wyrm Ouroboros]

>>>>>[ Wuxing's gone after a member of the MDC - that isn't fiberboard, it's the group in charge of corporate goings-on (which means ALL goings-on) in Manhattan, the Manhattan Development Consortium. Tsu Lin's traffic analysis suggests that they haven't gotten away with it outright - the CEO of the target of the Wuxing takeover showed up for an MDC board meeting in the middle of the mayhem - but by the way their stock is sliding, I'd also say that Wuxing'll just have to wait a couple months to finalize their black-hearted grab, unless Prometheus can find a white knight.
          The Black Cats, the PolySocs, and my own Ivory Tower folk also lifted and sifted the MDC archives of this little 'event' Nightmare's brought to our attention; no Hawatari.  Everyone, put an ear to the ground, maybe do some quiet asking-around with your contacts.  I asked Madrecita to do a bit of a posting (here is a link) when she could get around to it, to give people an idea of the girl; she says between jobs and keeping Iceblade out of trouble (ha!) she'll do what she can, but it's a WIP.  Feel free to throw in commentary, but if it gets too bogged down, I WILL slice out stuff that ain't pertinent. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[Hey! Usually it isn't my fault! It isn't like I purposely choose jobs that put me in harm's way. But I've got two key skill sets, and jobs that don't include me giving a 'happy ending' usually involve my sword giving out a few 'bad endings'. And the people in the second group tend to be confrontational. And heavily armed.

Anyways, I've got feelers out for Hawatari, including a few from certain 'official' sources, in case she winds up somewhere like that. As far as the street goes, no one's heard from her here in Seattle, and I haven't heard of any black bag teams taking people. The Ancients and a few other gangs are on the lookout, with the promise of me owing them a favor if they catch news of her. Mainly either healing or training. If she shows up anywhere in the sprawl, I'll hear about it. If she can make it to Redmond, I've got a couple boltholes I use there. I'm sending you the location of one of them on the border of Glow City. If she gets loose and contacts you, tell her to head there. She'll find a change of clothes, a burner commlink, and a couple guns (cheap crap, but good condition). Just let her know to bring a few pieces of whoever was holding her to feed the 'security'.

I've got a bit of a network I can pull on if we need to arrange an extraction. Or if she gets herself out and desires some payback.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Did  I hear you right, Wyrm? Wuxing went full out corp war against Prometheus in Manhattan just to get a seat on the MDC?!?!  Drek! How has the word not gotten out further?  I mean, I wouldn't have fragging known about it if I hadn't have had to stop by a chummer's place to make sure the smugglers I'd hired to get my gear back to the States had done they're job.  He mentioned chatter in the merc community about the 58th and the Daggers being in Manhattan and causing havoc.  Drek!
       
              As for Hawatari, I'll touch base with my folks and see if they can pick up any chatter on their ends.  Been overseas too long to truly know what's been going on but maybe they will.]<<<<<<

>>>>>[Being one of the guys able to control a sprawl that is one of the financial hubs of the world, as well as the planetside home of the Corporate Court isn't a small thing, Nightmare. And really, unless it spills out into the streets (or rather, into other corps' property), then you'll find it hard for people to care what one corp does to another in Manhattan. Now, if it was Seattle or Denver, that'd be a different story.]<<<<<
