SPECIAL REPORT - TERMINUS BACK IN TOWN
This transmission has been hijacked by your friends at Eyes on Seattle. This is a Special Report.
It appears that Lone Star has bigger problems than some random slasher now.
Terminus is back in town.
If you don't remember this sick son-of-a-b*&@#, he was responsible for one of the bloodiest and longest killing sprees to ever grace the Seattle skyline.
Take my advice folks, the bounty on his head isn't worth the trouble. Stay clear of this guy and if you do see him... Just call it in and let the professionals take care of him.

Back in the day, I contracted out jobs to the crew that Terminus ran with. Needless to say, he wasn't always the bloodthirsty maniac he is now and I was glad when they cut him loose.
I neeed files on this guy. Anything.
Name your price.
I used to work w/ a guy that called himself Terminus back when I was in the teams.
Can't be sure it was the same guy-though he was our teams silent weapons specialist. You know; knives, shuriken, perfect stuff for a *slasher*
When he had to use a firearm it was alwasya stockless MP-5 w/ a sound supressor.
He had an arm too, used to play baseball- could throw a grenade a long ways.
Not saying it's the same guy-but if it is. I'm glad I'm not in Seattle.
Sorry Begby, but out of professional courtesy, I don't sell information about runners that I currently or used to work with.
However, I will say that Terminus is bad news. Stay clear of him.
Of course, lots of slitches use the codename "Terminus". It's almost as bad as calling yourself "Shadow".
...or Wizkid.
You are frekkin' dead!
If it is actually Terminus, it's worse than it sounds.
Last time he dropped out of the picture because someone nailed him with three rounds of fifty caliber at half a mile. We had it confirmed on three different camera networks at two dozen angles. But- and this is one major But- The sniper was unable to personally confirm his kill.
So if it's him, somebody took the time and payed the nuyen to cover up his escapes and to rebuild him.
Just gimme a place and time, I'd be done wit'm before he saw the dust on da ground...
"Rebuilt" is definitely the right choice of words. I'd like to consider myself pretty good with a scalpel, but I can tell you right now that I can count on one hand the number of men I've brought back from a well placed shot of .50 cal. I'm willing to bet this "Terminus" is either dead or getting his regular checkup from a mechanic instead your typical street doc...
The real question here is why did he show up out of the blue and call out me and jambi?
Think about it chummers, a street sam with this much hardware holding him together?
He's looken to score his next "fix".
I've worked my sources Begby... it's Terminus.
What the frag did you boys get mixed up in?
Ok Begby... I'm reluctant to give you this info.
One Terminus was once a member of my crew. Two he is as bad as they come. Nothing from
the shadows scares me, but Terminus scares
holy hell out of me.
If it fires a round or holds an edge, Terminus is rated on it. His cyberware is state of the art, and he knows more about cyberware then most of the experts. Terminus received extensive special forces training from LoneStar. At the time his cyberware was military grade.
After my crew broke up, he spent two years working as a special enforcer for LoneStar. He was head of a special ops unit that went after the hard cases. His team was total hardcore, but because he is a soulless monster, he solid them out to the highest bidder and geeked the whole team.
The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled
was convincing the world he didn't exist.
I'm guessing the 50 cal. incident was a cover up.
Datahead's fulla bug and no soul, i tink I wanna take his spark to failure.
I don't know who this guy is, and frankly I don't care.
I done nothing to this runner, so I don't know what's crawled up his asshole or exhaust pipe or whatever.
If he wants to start shit for no reason, I'm not the one to back down from the fight.
I figure it's just some shithead trying to take the name of a guy a lotta folks are scared of.
Bring it on if you gotta, meatbag.
Word is that Terminus has put together a
crew of like minded and skill runners.
Looks like he means business.
What the frag is this guy up to?
Ya, it's funny how runners like the
same street names...
Like, I decked this one corp and found a list
of "black projects" a kinda special allocation
of funds thing.
Found a name Bambie, er was Jamer
no, no it was Jambalaya.
Well anyway the name reminded me of an old, oh what did grandpa call that thing... oh ya a "CD"
of a band called "Tul" or "Tool" 10,000 Daze or Days maybe... Ha, crazy!
Just call it in and let the professionals take care of him.
And those said professionals would be the Guard, *NOT* Lone Star. I've seen the aftereffects of a BTL Bust this guy ripped up.
Lone Star and Gangers fighting together from what a UCAS Ranger buddy of mine said.
In theory, if i were to say i know a guy who was crazy enough to take this Terminus on, what kind of bounty are we talking about?
Lone Star lists the bounty on Terminus at 500,000 nuyen. Dead or alive.
The real money would be in salvaging
the big T's cyberware.
Sounds like a pretty good deal to me, keep the good parts and hand over the rest for the bounty...
Christ Data Cue, what the frag
are you going on about?
Great balls of Fire, sounds like you've got another Shaolin Robot on your hands.
The problem with salvaging his hardware would be that it's all SOTA. It's all worth fragtons.
And there wouldn't be anything left of the guy once you took it all.
Problem with SotA equipment like that is that it's custom-made for that particular person.
Yep, it's worth a drekload of Nuyen to him, and to make, and practically worthless to anyone else. A few little secrets secreted away in it worth a pittance compared to what it retailed for.
There isn't much to the higher-end cybernetics that isn't already well known, or even commonly used.
It's expensive because it's well-built of insanely high-quality, hand-built components, and installed with magical assistance to lower the effect on a person as much as possible.
Two words: Chop Shop
Break 'em down for the components, if they're so high-quality. They'll still sell.
High quality may not sell. I have two words for you: cultured bioware.
It's vat-grown just for the user and ripping it out is only going to give you a nerve cluster or some other pile of living tissue that will die unless you get it properly packed and chilled. Not that doing so will do you any good because no one else can use it.
Ya, but we were talking about Cyberware.
And the high-end parts will sell, just not as well, is all.
Beer money for the Pizza the reward will buy. ;-)
That's a lot of pizza. And a lot of beer. I'm in.
Hmm almost tempting to come out of retirement...but I don't get out of brd for 500,000.
I used to say the same, but something forced me out of retirement.
