CLOSING NOTES:

Still one more part to go for this game session.\\xa0 We spent most of our time so far just trying to recover.\\xa0 So I apologize if the overall pace and intrigue levels are kind of hovering at a\\xa0 low level right now.

Our team is on the lamb, after all.\\xa0 And we learned our lesson about trying to be much more cautious going forward.

But now we\\u2019re outfitted, got new cyberware, got new guns, ammo, clothes, and shiny shiny toys, and we\\u2019re just about to head out the door.

These boots are made for walkin\\u2019.\\xa0
