I'm rereading Attitude currently, and it would seem Clockwork may have been affected by Tarder Hillman who is rumored to be a complicated psychological algorithm used by militaries to  brainwash enemy populations (pg 110). Tarder Hillman writes books for Horizon.

No, you fool! Don't give them ideas! Do you realize what that will mean if they use that? Clockwork will die horribly at the hands of various Jackpointers, THEN find out that he was under the effects of a military level psychotropic effect. They will then feel all sorts of guilty, or not, depending on level of black-hat-edness. It will spiral out of control, and then cause the Horrors to come back thousands of years early for some stupid reason.

TL;DR: If you give the writers ideas, the Horrors will eat you.

I bet it'd be Kane, and he'd just shrug his shoulders and ask for another bourbon.

/dev/grrl seems to be getting pretty bloodthirsty lately, plus she's got something to prove.

Didn't she put a gun to Kane's head?

Ayup.

Kane's took her under his wing as her mentor, after that.

Yes, but she was holding the Ares Alpha wrong.  That said, the first round would have done him in before she fell over putting bullets into the ceiling.

I don't know Kane's got a pretty thick skull...  And he might get upset if she made him spill his rum.

So, here's a random question. After reading the Twilight Horizon appendix, I keep on wondering as to just who Rachel was. Probably just a name, I know, I know, just left me disproportionately intrigued. Was that an established character at all?

[Mirikon]

Not an established character. Just one of Netcat's TM friends.

[Moral Wiz]

*nods* Makes most sense, I agree, but for the sake of wild speculation...

Well, does Clockwork's language fit for that? He doesn't make any negative comments about Technomancers, and that gave him a prime opportunity!  "Rachel was a threat to those around her" or something similar; Instead, just 'she had a bounty on her head' .Yeah, Technos do have bounties on their heads, but he makes it sound a little more specific, IMO.

Yeah, I'm pretty much certainly reading too much into that. :p Just... you know, newbie, throwing up wild ideas.

[Mirikon]

He's saying it because he knows it will piss Netcat off.

[Moral Wiz]

But he could've done that better too. 'The locals were thankful enough.' 'Just being a bounty' is pretty tame and not that irritating; it's what Runners do.[/overanalysis]

[CanRay]

Maybe he's trying to be a bit more polite about things in order to boost his rep score?

[Moral Wiz]

Ka'fuckin'Ching.is the polite way to handle 'I turned your friend in for a bounty'?

Then again, this is Clockwork. That's pretty plausible.

Compared to his usual, "I turned a monster into Nuyen, and don't regret anything." which is his usual statement, yeah, it is.

I mean, look at his comments on Technomancer Safehouses.
