Oh, yes yes yes. :)

*sigh* Now you've done it. I've got to find something else to speculate wildly and inaccurately about. Damn you, CanRay! :)

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?

MWU-hahahaha! My first Shadowrun mystery! You'll twist! You'll turn! You'll never figure it ...

...

Okay, it was a name I plucked out of nowhere.

Now, there *are* questions about who and why. Obviously, it was someone that Netcat knew. Did he go hunting her to get a hit in on Netcat? "The rules are that I can't track you down, but that doesn't mean your friends are safe." Is he tracking her movements? Is someone else? Is Clockwork just a gigantic ass? What bounty did he collect? How do those chips of his work?

None of that's mentioned. We could follow it up at some point, but as these were little plot dangles in the appendix of an adventure, odds are that no one will ever pick 'em up and run with 'em, so, by all means, feel free to write your own answers and slot 'em into your campaign. :) Rachel was never seen before and, obviously, will never be seen again. (Well, unless some writer ten years down the line needs a brain in a jar or something. Who knows!)

I'm thrilled that someone read this part, however. My first-ever published thingy. :)

I thought Rachel was the Angel of Vengeance or that other female TM.

Also check out Running Wild page 193 for an interesting story about Clockwork.

Hmm, that fuzzy thing sounds almost like a "drop" (dunno where the term comes from tho).
Want to see my flash new jacket?

You know, for some reason, I can't remember.   ::)

Death by cream pie, however?

I wonder if that was part of his cover ID (His 'real' program being the steampunk relay), or if he just has a Thing about slapstick?

And then I start thinking of him and Slamm-O getting into a tense, highly-dangerous duel, stalking each other through a network, but with cream pies instead of guns.

...

I can't tell if that's high awesome, or horrible.

Ack!

Sounds like you're high, Wak.

And take into consideration who is telling you that!

As far as I can tell it's a protosapient called a Kitteh which is on page 200 of Running Wild. that story seems out of character for him.

This is why I'm so glad that we have an editor. If you set me loose, I'll generate a bajillion ideas ... 80% of which are weak, 10% are good, and 10% are, well... really, really bad.

Luckily, smart people can cut the bad ones off for me. I don't mind. :)

People do things that are out of character all the time.

I'm a prime example of that, quite frequently to people who know me.

other thing is that its an animal tohim not a person who has alterior motives
May god grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, to change the things I can, and the firepower to make the difference.

Suicide is never the answer, now homicide on the other hand, that has posibilities.
