Tonio triumphant!

My latest V-Mail from Tonio reported his success. Tonio did it even better than I expected, he paid some kid to walk up to the Rhino boys, and tell them that some old man had been holding out on a supply of splintron. I guess they had problems with it there too. Tonio gave this kid a few credits and made sure the little guy made himself scarce for a while.

The Rhino twins rocked up to Lan-Fu’s place and pretty much bashed down the door. Obviously Lan-Fu was pretty confused. It couldn’t have gone better, they worked over his whole place while Lan-Fu yelled archaic obscenities from before the Great Quakes at them. When nothing showed up at his place (he was a clean-living old guy) he yelled at them some more, kicked them both hard and asked what right they had to come in and do that. They pushed him over and said that they worked for Gniutz, and they do whatever the hell they want. Perfect.

Lan-Fu got right on the comms to Gniutz cursed him out, called him an ingrate and all that. Gniutz assured the old guy he had no part of it all, and no idea what the two big splicers were doing. Obviously he called them into his office, blind with rage, and got rid of them. They tried to blame it on the kid, but the stupid buggers had no idea who the kid was, let alone his name. This just ticked off Gniutz even more. Tonio was waiting outside and grinned, as he heard Gniuts yell out “YOU WORKED OVER THE MAN I RESPECT MOST IN THE WORLD, BECAUSE OF SOME KID TELLS YOU THAT YOU SHOULD?” Gniutz gave the twins two hours to get the hell out of Covax and back to Sangelino, or they’d be dead men. I think they would have been then and there if Gniutz could actually hand out any damage to them, and I sure as hell could tell they would be if they ever set foot in Covax again.

Tonio was safe for now. Obviously working for someone as unstable as Gniutz wasn’t ideal, but we had to keep him in favor until the circumstances changed.

We had to set these slow-brained Rhino boys up so bad, that Gniutz would kick them to the curb, and I think I had just the way to do it. Now, Gniutz was bad to the core, and had no respect for anyone except this older splicer man Lan-Fu, who was a crotchety mean old bugger who pretty much raised Gniutz to be the horrible misanthrope he is. What you gotta do, told Tonio, is get these two asshats to work over Lan-Fu. Tell them that he’s holding out on a stash of credits, or he’s got a supply of something or whatever. But don’t tell them directly. Leave them a tip or something. But make it a timed self-deleting message. That way, after they’ve done it, it can’t be traced back to you.

Tonio was going to do it. Lan-Fu was a vicious old guy, and probably wouldn’t get worked over too bad, it would be more of an insult than actual harm to him. But hey, he was the Gniutz before Gniutz was Gniutz, so if he got knocked around a bit, I wouldn’t lose any sleep. I’ll have to wait to see how it works out. Let’s hope Tonio gets it done alright.
