Dr. Fuji Hiro has published that he located the new ruin at Yonaguni, cleverly sidestepping any blame for the failed investigation, while deftly claiming credit for adding to the known size and influence at said complex. I am so mad I could spit, right in his eye, right before I slapped the smug grin I know he is wearing right around the other side of his head.

"Do the the incompetence of the staff involved in planning the expidition all of the expiditionary personell were lost, I offer my condolences to their families and friends."

Eta, he claims credit for the find himself, and pins the blame squarely on my shoulders - although I will not deny that the blame is properly laid, to accuse me of incompetance......

I think I need to go find a mugger or some such to vent for a little bit.

Do you want me to go rough him up a bit?

No such an action would only hinder my goals, besides, i am too angry to come up with anything that would inflict the appropriate degree of pain and ruin upon him. Physical action in this case would hardly be adequate, he deserves far, far worse.

Well if you think of anything I'll be happy to help.

I don't know Japanese laws or anything, but I'm with Bert. Just say the word, and I'll see what I can do.

When I take action, I will not attack the man, I will attack his "face". I will leave him to suffer as he watches the last shreds of his credibility and dignity flutter away into nothingness, then and only then will I let him know that I was the cause of his fall, and why.

Those who have skeletons in their closets should be more cautious of their actions.

Guys, we can't go around roughing up civilans. It makes us look like unorthodox thugs.

We have to handle this matter in a dignified and proper manner, not just for Professor Nakamura's sake, but for the reputation of the society as well.

Professor Nakamura, do you have his address or the address for his office. I would like to send him a letter in regards to Master Liand the dishonor he brings to himself and others.

You may PM it to me if you wish.

Sounds good to me. But if in the mean time, you'd like him, oh, to dangle from the ceiling from a Snare Trap or to be stuck under a net for a few hours and miss an important meeting, let me know.

I wasn't offering to attack the man physically, though after I offered to "do what I can" I can definitely see where that misconception has arrisen. I was offering to help him "Attack Hirosensee's face". I was offering to help him to establish himself as a respected researcher once more. Again, sorry that I was unclear.

Oh no, he will not miss any important meetings, he will make a fool of himself at them, when my action is undertaken, it will be a long and subtle thing, as unstoppable as the tide. I will take great pleasure in making him the instrument of his own downfall, and when everyone that looks upon him does so with the scorn that he has shown others, then I will explain to him how it was done, and why.

Are you sure you aren't related to Shang Li at all?

I would still like to send this man a letter in regards to Master Li and the society's imput as to his attempts at character assassination of two of our own.

Please, I need to do this for Master Li. I owe the man at least that. Don't deprive me and the society of that one thing.

This man dishonors the sacrifice of Master Li. You might not want to rough him up Kei, but I most certainly want to kick his ass. Reminds me of my father.

Ghost as much as I like your idea I think it is wrong.
Holister your Idea is resonable but I feel that this Dr. Fugi Hiro would dismiss such a note out of hand or declare it from crackpots. I have dealt with such bastards as this before and I feel Kei Nakamura's plan is best. As such men thrive on their standing or Face. You take that away from him it is worse than death for him, he would likey self-desruct. I would like to offer my aid in that endevor.

Hey, I'm all for the passive agressive approach. Need any help Kei, I know people who would be great for just this sort of work.

I am actually pulling up recorsd that show how this ape has built his career on teh work of others, and how they have always suffered some form of tragedy that he has used to discredit them. I will be seeing to it that this gets leaked to the right places once I have shown how ALL of his sucesses belong rightfully to someone else, someone who can no longer argue the issue most of the time.

With teh evidence I am compiling I am afraid that Todai may have to weather an investigation of one of their department heads - I am more than just a little concerned that so many of his successes involve the deaths of those that whent to gather the facts, or their institutionalization.

I have also uncovered a little bit of shady dealings with how he gets the grants for his own projects, and where the money goes.

Always follow the money.

Sounds like some good work Kei. Keep an eye open as someone may not take kindly to your "meddling".

That news concerns me. What if he is a puppet for a demon or entity of some sort that grants him favors in return for covering up the supernatural and dealing with bothersome investigators?

It happens all the time. To me anyway.

That or the idiot is a vulture who capitalizes on the misfortunes of others to build his own reputation, and wealth.

Enabled/enpowered by the supernatural.

Anyway, we do not have to worry about semantics right now.

I was hoping that some of you could help with that, I have the contents of his system, he uploaded it to the Taodai Maru 2's reasearch database. it is however encrypted, and the copies erase themselves after the 3'rd attempt to break the encryption protocal.

I do.

I am thinking it might be better to guess the password, the hint left on the forgotten password info was "what did I desire most?"

Power, Fame, Money, Vengence, Sex, and Love are all usually good guesses. Anything more you can tell us about it?

I tried the normal desires, they failed. Perhaps someone who knew him better may have the answer.

If Master Li encrypted it, try variations of "Peace", like that type that comes with death's sweet embrace. I think he just wanted to reunited with his wife and son.

Just a thought?
