When  men  will  get  above  his imposed limits, it'll be the end of our beloved
Earth!
2                                                               - MOP of ALCATRAZ


Mock's  clinic  was one of the most sought after underground clinics, especially
by mutant Deckers.  Mock was a very good friend of FastJoy, not only because Joy
was  a  good  client  of  his,  but also because they were both sharing the same
ideals.   Mock  was  amongst the number one, in MC TRAMPLER's black list, and it
had  been  since  a  long time that MC TRAMPLER was looking forward to eliminate
him.   Also,  Mock  was one of the main mutants who fought against MC TRAMPLER's
law ideals.

Sven  had  never been at Mock's place, although they knew each other quite well.
They  had travelled a lot together in various security levelled Nets.  They both
shared  the  same  security  programmes, as Mock had helped him a lot, when Sven
started out.

As  Joy carefully landed his hover ship, Sven tried to get a look at this place.
They  both  came  out,  and  FastJoy  leaded  the  way.   They  walked past some
buildings,  and  the  deeper  they  got into this area, the narrower the walking
channels  got.  Finally, it seemed that Joy found their destination.  Entering a
little  building, they walked towards the molecular transporter, where they were
thrown  to  the  137th storey.  FastJoy clicked in the usual security code word,
and they both went in.  Sven looked around, but to him, it seemed just the usual
pub  for  mutants.   Joy went ahead, and Sven just followed him.  They reached a
dark  corner,  and  Fastjoy,  pulling Sven with him, stepped "inside".  They had
just stepped into Mock's clinic.  Mutant bullies welcomed them, but as they knew
Joy  very  well,  they  let  them both in.  Some corridors further, they finally
reached  the main area.  As Mock saw them, he promptly came to greet them.  Sven
was introduced to Mock, and all three were laughing for a while like old friends
usually  do.  But now it was time for the actual business.  Sven told everything
to Mock about his new discovery, and about the red alert in his area.

"Well  Sven,  it  seems that you've just found that something, we had been after
for  ages.   The HUMANIS POLICLUB seem to be active more than ever in these last
few  days.   I've  already  heard that they managed to wipe out a couple of very
experienced  mutant  Deckers  in the last time.  And the best thing is that they
leave no traces that lead directly to them.  But we surely all know that this is
MC  TRAMPLER  mercenaries'  work.  Also, no one seems to dare to walk around the
HUMANIS POLICLUB's Net these days, so why are you saying that you were wondering
nearby?  You surely aren't that mad?"

"I  have  heard some nasty rumours lately.  It was since a long time, that I was
wondering  near that Net, but I never found my way inside.  I knew it was there,
but  it  really seemed that there was nothing visible in that spot.  Really nice
camouflaging programme, I must say!  Anyway..."

"I  think that the best thing to do now, is to temporarily transfer your current
CyberDeck status to my system.  I will then remove your burned Deck, and install
a new one."

FastJoy looked at both mutants and smiled...

"And as you'll both be busy installing the new CyberDeck, I'll have some time to
start  looking  at  your  Head  memory.   I think that I'll have to download and
salvage  most  of  the  files,  because  if  the  damage is too big, it would be
impossible to work directly on the files as they are."

Mock  gazed  for  some  seconds  at  the two mutants.  "Have you already found a
secure  place  where  to  hide,  after this job is finished?  If there's someone
after  you,  and  it surely looks like that, it wouldn't be for long, after they
would track you down here!"

The two mutants looked at each other.  Then Joy looked back at Mock.  "How about
giving  us  a helping hand?  You seem to be the only one able to help us now.  I
will  soon be very busy, working on your Net.  Sven will not be able to move out
from  here,  before  I  recover  all his files, and install them back in his new
CyberDeck.  So that leaves you, Mock!"

Mock  smiled, thus agreeing to help them.  "Well it seems that the best thing to
do  now,  is  that  after  you  finish  with your job over here, you move out of
FORTRESS.  It won't be very easy..."

"Come  on Mock!  We both know that you've got the right contacts, so this job is
for you!"

Sven  followed  Mock  into  another  working area, while Joy entered Mock's Net,
where he was just waiting for the Deck transfer, to begin his quest.

Meanwhile,  far  away, in another distant area, a Razorguy was moving around the
FATs nightclub.  Getting information from the mutants was not the easiest thing,
even  when  you were offering dollar$.  Seeing that he was only wasting his time
over  here,  the  Razorguy moved out.  He moved quickly to a quieter tunnel, and
made an accurate data scan of that area.  It seemed that he had found something,
not very far away.
