Actually, my question *really* seems to be (and this applies to many fics,
not just yours): why would Quincy want to kill the Knight Sabers?

IMO, the Knight Sabers aren't really doing anything *to* Genom, and in OAV
8, Sylia even admits that the KS can't, and shouldn't, take Genom down.
They are just a minor annoyance to Genom, yet they have also actually helped
Genom on occassion.  The KS seem to make it their business to deal with
boomers run amuck -- they're Genom's test-bed, if you will, that also
destroys the evidence against Genom (by destroying the Boomer) at the end of
the exercise. And on the odd occassion that the boomer really has gone
rogue, they deal with that too.

Mason's personal vendetta's aside, I can't see Quincy even bothering with
the KS.

	Something I'd like to note is that Sylia has more then likely set up a
contigency plan in case of the team being wiped out. Imagine a program
set up with ALL the info on Boomers and Genom the she or her assosiates
had ever been able to collect. Now imgaine that this program is set up
on three or more "safe computers" linked to the net. Now consider that
they each have a timer built in, set to go at anywhere from a week to a
month if a password isn't given at a specified time each rotation. Even
simpler, each Saber chooses a friend none of the others know about and
gives them said program with the instruction to post the info if they
learn of the Knight's demise.

	While it's true that Sylia probably doesn't have enough evidence to
bury Genom <given how entrenched the company is in the workings of the
world, it would probably be catastrophic if she did> Knoweledge is
power. Imagaine what company wouldn't give their right arm to have such
detailed info on the creation of a Boomer, what Anarch street tech
wouldn't kill to find out such secrets, and what insane goverment/third
world nation wouldn't genocide to gain such an advantage.

	Actually, this in itself might make an interesting fic. A faked death
or computer accident starts the program up, starting the feared download
of Doom <there's a pun here, can YOU find it?> tm. Maybe Priss's friend
goes underground to try and find the proper venue to post his little
time bomb. Along comes execs from Genom, begging for help and mentioning
how much better it would be if the Knight Sabers recorvered the info
first and didn't leave the messenger to the tender mercies of the
Boomers sent to stop him.

	Might even have fun with a little Boomer/Genom team up. Just an idea
anyway.
