Lost the lab over in Guinness today. Looks like the bastard blew some code bomb or something. All the Smoothtalker boys and the techies were destroyed, plus the comps and the junk. Looked through what’s left, it’s a real mess. No hope of fixing up any of them. Spent a couple of hours trying to rebuild the mainframe files. Only got some bits and pieces and they don’t make no sense. See what you think.

this whacky ass fool Mr E is gonna help us out. Buck musta sent him cuz he knew what we was gonna do. dont matter as long as it gets done. says he doesnt want the usual pay tho. he just wants me to get him an in with the Network. says he needs to cut a deal with that guy. dont matter to me, as soon as we’re done hes getting a speedy deletion thx to my arpin.
anyway, heres the crazy part. shows up at the club with the key card already on him. Buck never told me he got that part taken care of.
tomorrow were gonna zip into the library and steal those disks. Mr Es gonna meet me after. then hes gonna be Mr Dead.

After this, I did a little asking around about programs involved with the Network and found out that someone did some work for the Merovingian in the past in exchange for certain favorable dealings with the Network.
