 Now what did I say about that useless do-gooder morality?

I forgot I was talking to the sicko who came up with Ryo Muhoshin...

 Hey, disco came back once, in 2034 it might be back again.
 If that's the case, Quincy's one cool happenin' dude.

One: Quincy is not now, nor will he ever be 'happening.'  Two: he would
probably throw his back out if he even ATTEMPTED the Hustle. Three: The mental
image of him shakin' his booty would probably do more damage than ten thousand
Largos.

 In the office?  I think not.

Ya never know. There's a lot of collateral explosions every time the KS raid
the tower. If you have one of the outer rooms...

 I already think Sylia's hot   H.H

Oh yeah. She can knight my saber anytime. 0_0;; 

Seriously, they're ALL hot. They're even still hot while in SD, and THAT isn't
easy.

 Chuck this in the CONS too...

You are a bad man.

 Better?  Welll, less hours, yeah.  But who knows when Sylia'll want
 to pull off a 3am raid?

The same can be said about Quincy and his Boomer strikes.

 Oooh, good point.

Of course, she might draft you as a stage hand... but seeing her in the
leather would be worth it.

 This is a bad thing?  *GRIN*
 
 "Ah, madame, let me help you zip up that bra..."
 

What the hell kind of bras are YOU wearing? And that would be customer
service, I'm talking the register, where all you get to see are fully clothed
women holding indecent lingerie but never wearing it. It is my distinct belief
that this is what drove Mackie into hentai land.

Of course, if you have access to the security cameras in the dressing rooms,
that's an entirely different story.

On a semi-serious note: Everybody seems to be ignoring the happy middle
ground: joining the AD Police. No, really! It's not as suicidal as you'd
think!!!

Here's the plan: Join ADP. Youll probably start as a tac squad grunt. THIS
would be suicidal. However, you won't be there long. Using your amazing
investigative skills (looking up Silky Doll in the phone book) you obtain
proof of the KS identities. Turn them in. You will be promoted, probably at
least to Leon's level, putting you out of most danger. Instead of being killed
like they would if you'd gone with Genom, the babes in armor merely receive
long prison terms. Plus, you've captured the suits. ADP takes them apart and
analyzes them, incorporating the technology into the next generation of  K
class battle armor. Suddenly, ADP can lock horns with Genom on an equal basis.
Everybody wins.

I like this scenario. You don't join the KS, but you don't have to mess around
with trying to survive in Genoms corporate jungle. Plus it's a good way to
pump up AD Police, who are always getting shafted, without trotting out the
overused plot device of having Leon rev up the DD Battlemover. 

Not that I meant anything by that, Rod. ^_-
