Steel Lynx hops into the neck flying by the seat of his pants with very little 
software in extistance.

The matrix Spins about him leveling out with a building low to the group right 
in front of him.

The front doors are opened but the sign above the door says keep out.

RE: character...

Staying in a coffin type hotel called "The Vampires Live Better"
Late in the night see woke up to a thud next door.  When see peeked out her 
door, she saw this Gigantic man with a steel spear raised to plunge into the 
chest of a much smaller man, who stood with a cyberdeck in his left arm.  The 
smaller man was cowering in fear, and the room behind his looked like it was 
on fire.

I a previously deleted post, Leesan poke her head out of her room and threw 
one of her poisoned daggers at the man, then ducked back in and barracades the 
door  <With the bed, as it is the only things and there are no locks here>

Just as she closed the door, she noticed the dagger only made a glancing blow 
as her partially dodged out of the way.

    She waits near the doorway - listening for the sounds of the fight and 
silence. she is also waiting to here the thud of the big man's body as the 
poison does it's work and he falls to the ground. she has her gun out - and is 
really to shoot should anyone attempt to open the door.

What leesan here is a thud, but it isn't the thud of a body hitting the 
ground, sounds more like that spear hit something.  and the wall shakes a 
little.

There are no more sounds outside here door for 15 minutes.

    does not want to open the door - so she looks around the room to see if 
there are any holes that she can look out to see what's going out. if there 
are none, she checks to see if she has the equipment needed to make a 
peep-hole to look out of.

A vibrobalde can cut through just about anything, the only problem is that it 
makes a humming sound from the vibrations, dunno if you want to use that

Tigress #42 @1

    probably not. i guess from that that there aren't any peepholes in the 
room. o.k. this calls for plan b - (now if only i knew what that was). o.k. 
leesan walks cautiously over to the door, moves the bed about an inch away 
from the door. she then sits quietly for a while to see if there are any 
further noises in the hallway. she has her gun out - aimed at the door, and 
would shoot immediately at anyone who attempted to open it.

She hears a soft moaning, then... nothing, the sound has stopped.
And the door to the next room is heard to shift loudly, like something or 
someone is slumped against it.

shown that 6 forms can arrise: 1. Appearance of an elf  2. Elf 
appearance/psionic aptitude  3. troll like appearance and mentality   4. 
stunted growth <dwarf> normally what happens when affects children.  5. The 
being melts away  6. the person dies due to shock during the mutation

4) The description fo an alien race that one corporation has underobservation  
<the coroporation is not specified in the article)

5) Blowtorch level 15

6) Tech House Mortar Level 10

7) general layout of the tunnels under the city.

    since i can't hide, and i'm outnumbered greatly, i look to see if they 
look the least bit friendly. of course, i don't think they will, since i also 
have a gun in both hands and am shooting at them.

the turbo assault megadeath cannon roars to life as one of the scum attempt to 
use it on you.  Having been the first time this experimental weapon is being 
used a flaw becomes apparant.  the cannon gun gangfires its ammo.  leaving the 
scum as a scorched pile of ashes 

unfortunately all the gun fire seems to light the flamable gas that comes from 
fecal material  <you are in the sewers after all>

you dive down into the blackish, brackish water just as the gunfire ignite the 
air.  the fireburst singes your back before you are completely convered and 
the pain is pretty unbearable.  You swim as abley as you can through the 
almost opaque sewage water and pop you head up a little later.  You are not 
certain where you are though

Well, Demon,how's my character coming 
along????

Hmmmm...  I was born I don't know 
where, I grew up in a war zone, and I 
had to help many wounded soldiers, 
which is why I'm a doctor...  My last 
mission left me stranded on  my way to 
Texas by some idiotic leader...  I 
wandered around for a while, and ended 
up in (whatever city this is going on 
in, I forget)...  I got some training 
in martial arts when I was 21...  I 
really enjoy fixing things, in fact, 
it's almost a habit... If I find 
something broken, I will probably try 
to fix it.

is currently is a sleazy dump by the name of Vampire's live better.  He spent 
his last $5 on a room for the night.  The coffin is still filled with the 
cinder's of what was probably the last bed, and the comm link is destroyed.  
However you have the added attraction of a man impaled on your door, which the 
the local body banks refuse to accept due to its rather burned nature.

a few seconds after you crouch down a wave of fire rolls down the passage way. 
 you duck you head under the water and after a minute or two, rise up and 
realize there is someone else in the water near you.

subroc attempts to dodge, and the first burst flies by his right arm, barely 
missing him.  The second burst hits him dead in the chest, the slivers of 
metal embedding themselves deadly through his armor.  and the final burst he 
neatly sidesteps.  Subroc look shaken but is still standing

(crouch) as low as i can, and reload, and prepare to shoot another round...
