*Receive a briefing on a new development that has appeared out of the blue.*


Tyndall: Warrior, by now you've probaby heard about the concert venues that have suddenly appeared around the city, with banners prominently announcing "A Piece of Blue Sky: A Musical Celebration of Dreams Fulfilled - Citywide March 31 - April 2."

We have indications that there may be more to this "concert" than meets the eye. Ghost has an important briefing for you concerning this matter.

Operator: Ghost should be in there.

Zion Aikido Master: Good to see you, Othinn.

Zion Rifleman: Go on in, sir. He's ready for you.

Ghost: "A Piece of Blue Sky": anything about that name strike you as odd? The Machine's simulation doesn't give us blue skies, except on days when they allow Sati to manipulate the weather code. But a concert isn't the style of the Oracle's ward.

A Metacortex co-founder, Decius Wadsworth, claims the concert is his "gift to the city." Our information sources within Metacortex had no forewarning of this development. They tell us that his executive had been retired for years now--a recluse. And he's managing to elude our surveillance efforts.

Something doesn't quite add up here, does it? Keep an eye on this "Piece of Blue Sky". We can't put much faith in a bolt from the blue.

Ghost: Stay alert, operative. You'll be informed of any significant new developments as we receive them.

Zion Rifleman: We're not sure what to make of it either. We all need to stay on our toes.

Zion Aikido Master: It's weird how this all appeared so suddenly.

Tyndall: Be careful, Othinn. If you go to the concert, you should be ready for anything. In particular, be careful if you're at one of the concert sites around 10:00 am, Sunday, April 2nd--that's when the "climax" of the concert series is supposed to begin.
