Hey, doll face, where are you? I’ve been trying to get a hold of you for days.
Ok, I guess I’ll leave another message.
ATM gave me the number for the Pinkham Boys. I prefer to steer clear because they’re unpredictable on a good day. Guess I’ll try Lucius; he’s more reasonable than Gaius.
Did you hear about Takashima? One employee is dead and another managed to escape the compound. I hear there are two new mercs on the scene: a street ronin and tech. Miss Wellington is not at all happy. Expect to hear about more retirements.
Ok, well, you’re not picking up. I guess I’ll sacrifice some urban critters at the temple to get your attention.
Later, babes.

ARCHIVIST ANALYSIS: > 130 years later, we now know that Brick’s “urban critter sacrifice” at the temple was more than a joke—it was the first recorded sign of the Theocratic Resurgence that followed the Corporate Collapse. The Street Ronin mentioned here is believed to be the same individual found in the Sector: Free Lands ruins.
