My former associates (don't ask) have sent me my new student in return for their aid. (if any of that virus gets onto the black market they will retrive it and contact me)

My new student (thankfully he was told to follow any and all of my instructions) has a natural bent toward activities i find reprihensible. however his training is coming along (he "thought" he new how to use a sword when he was sent to me).

Do any of you know of anything to reduce physical symptoms of withdrawl? (I do not know what the poor fool is addicted to but i have seen it's effects) this is a new thing for me - in the past anyone seeking my training would already be at or near top physical form.

Another thing that puzzles me. What is out there that upon injection would make a man about 10% faster (raw limb speed as well as reflexes), 30% or so stronger, exreamly agressive, and still coherent? (caught him useing a dose before training this morning - actually had to use chi to ward of his attacks in a dignified manner during sparring)

I have no earthly clue as to what it might be. Various stimulants can improve speed to some degree but I don't know anything that'd do strength.

I'm afraid I deal with addicts in a manner quite extreme.

I don't know a great deal about drugs, but Ron's probably right. I know that PCP (also called Angel Dust) can really boost a person's physical capabilities in a short time, while also boosting their aggression and reducing their ability to feel and react to pain. A person OD'ing on it can continue fighting past the point when their heart has stopped beating, and they are clinically dead.

I don't really know how it's taken, though... If it isn't injected, then that's not what you're dealing with.

Well, in any case, I wish you luck.

Koyla - even when it is probable that the addict was invouluntary?

the poor SoB passed out during a training session that was particularly vigorus as i had caught him injecting some that morning. Chi was low (about what one would expect from an addict), however the meridians along which the chi should flow showed a resonance unlike any i have seen before, literally pulling the chi from me as i attempted to heal him. The chi also did not flow into the flesh but rather remained concentrated in the major and minor meridians.

Anyone got any experience with "performance enhancers" particularly those that make an immediate and dramatic change?

Given who the boy's handlers are he might wind up burning out before he finishes training. (he appears to have aged 2 years in the past week physiologicly)

Could be something designer like a gen-tech created enchancement drug like they design for livestock, horses, and "eh-hum" some elite sports stars.

Obviously getting his source would be helpful.

I heard of guys in the States running down to Mexico to get steroids and the like. In my past investigations we have come across some strange scientists doing strange things with enhancers, but I am pretty sure your guy's supply is not coming from Russia.

If it is, I really want to know about it.

I think it would be more like Germany, France, or a western European country. They have "let us say" lax laws regarding such things.

koyla - if the product is from the former soviet block (pre collapse) it would not surprise me. the poor man's handlers (once mine as well) are Very well connected in the black market (they controll a good portion of it both back home and in the US on the coasts).

hollister - the people involved have never been known for their adherance to law (and have moved away fromthe days when they were known for having honor - the reason i am no longer one of their own - and yes having 8 square feet of tattoos removed is painfull)

Then it is something we need to investigate. We have infilitrated many networks on our side of the Atlantic, and even thought they were fairly thoroughly busted up.

Kolya - if you know of any programs where the reasearch, or reasearchers vanished at right around the end of the cold war it might help. (The family involved is known for being willing to do or spend almost anything to produce a better killing machine, and does have back alley access to some of the best bio-tech minds and facilities in Japan)

Ball is rolling... I'll be in touch.

Ill check with my contacts in the DEA and see what I can come up with for ya, guy owes me a favor anyway.
Ill get back to ya as soon as I hear anything.

You cant save him Master Li. You would be violating your personal honor that you seem to hold so dearly to even try. He has come to his lot in life by choice, as you once did.

As for the project, foget it, we paid well to have all evidence that it ever existed as well as the staff and test subjects delivered to us.

Kolya, from what i have been able to discover you work for the russian military. If after they are done with you, you still have a taste for such things The Family will be glad to hire you as a troubleshooter. (we admire your countries ability to hide and keep secrets)

I am going to put you in touch with Natasha. She is a master researcher who spends much of her time pouring over the documents and archives. She is not fluent in English, but I think it will be good enough. She is timid and unsure of her English; but be sure that if there any information to be found, she will find it.

Contact me if you need anything else from me.

Well, they are not done with me yet.

Note that the key word in that phrase is "yet". *-)

Yes, sir, noted.

Listen here buddy, Shang can accomplish any thing he puts his mind to. He's like Yoda, just not all short, and green, though they kinda speak the same, but Im loosing the point. If anyone can get that guy cleaned up, an flyin straight and narrow, its Shang.

By the way Shang, if ya want to meet Molly, Sarah says its ok. I can even get one one the guest cabins ready for ya if ya want.

I would reccomend, officer, that you not trouble yourself over Master Li's new student. as for Master Li's chance of getting his new student clean i actually do wish him luck. We would be very happy to hear that the treatment does not have 100% mortality rate when discontinued as that has been the only thing preventing mass production rather than small test lots. (dont worry master, i made sure that if he uses just enough to live he has a 10 year supply so he can make it through your training)

Oficer? Listen here pal, that's SHERIFF Ben "One Shot" Holister you sandal wearin', gold fish tendin', sushi cheffin' Bruce Lee wanna be. I got moe than enough faith in Master Li and not so much in you buddy. Just keep running the lip dumbass, this yocal has got a six pack of wup-ass and Im bout to pull all six tabs at once.

I got yer back Shang.

Happy Huntin'.
