I think I'm just about done!  No doubt I'll be pestering all of you with novice questions once the game commences, as I still (ironically enough) am somewhat uneasy around the intricacies of hacking.  I think I've got the setting down well enough though, which is at least one relief.  Ah, the joys and stress of learning a new system!<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div

separated from him early on, and he hasn't seen her for over a decade.  Though he would never admit it to a mere acquaintance, he became a hacker solely to find some sort of lead that would allow him to reunite with his lost sibling.  If he can't find her alive, then he sure as hell will find the one who put her in the ground and do him the same turn.</li></ul><br/><strong>SKILLS:

Clyde":</em>  Desmond's current employer and "keeper", the same man who ultimately bought him from the horrid organization that kidnapped him and his sister.  Though not without a conscious, his ultimate loyalty was to the almighty nuyen.  With implants and training from the other courtesans and companions under his employ, Desmond was molded into a prize commodity, the perfect lure for those wishing for a taste of perfumed Arabian nights with a "devil" of the Old World.  The two men share some platonic affection for one another, though Clyde will always say it's just looking out for his "investment".  Suede Clyde is recognized in the Underworld as a man with many hands in many pockets, and his influence in the sex industry is second to
