I got a message from Plot (a letter from my Dockside contact Ablondi) that they thought Maximus was the mastermind of a competing spy ring and they wanted me to prove it. OOG, it was pretty obvious that he was just a pussy-cat, but I had to play this out in-game. I remember having quite a bit of fun trying to grill Maximus on his connections without him knowing that I was grilling him. -lee ------------------------------------ Maximus, I will not allow you to let this charade go any farther. We both know who the leader of the Guild is, you! I am both impressed and angered by you. You hide directly in the open, carefully manipulating those around you. You do it almost as well as I. I wish that I could speak to you eye to eye but you ignore my every contact. So you refuse me. I can live with that, you know. But I'm not sure you can. Just to anger you, I will mention to you who has so thoughtlessly loosened his lips. He is very close to you. He is your right hand, I would gather. The Biata, Kaliel is your double agent. This puts you in a difficult cituation, does it not? Now that you know who he is, you would like to punish him. But this would not look good for you, would it. Nore can you feed him faulty information, we already know about him. But you certainly cannot just leave him in the position he is in now, feeding information to the enemy, can you. What will you do? But you need not worry, we have other agents, agents that are nearly as close to you as the bird-brain. I would recomend that you contact us soon, assuming you can find us. The time for you to negotiate between our two Guilds is nearly over. If you don't talk, then you will watch each of your members fall one at a time. Have a nice day, No One In Particular delivered oct 8, 1994 Maximus, I will be returning from travels abroad for you in a few weeks. My agents tell me that you have held extremely quiet over the past few months. I saw you speaking to Kaliel but virtually none of the known contacts. This means one of two things: Either you have curtailed your activities, for which we would both be thankful or you have moved even more underground. You just remember how easy it was to expose our underground. If you think that yours would be any more difficult, you have another thing coming. I will be seeing you! No One in Particular
