                                      SPY REPORT

     Much has changed in KYR'TERR since last I was here.  Never fear, Olaf Modeen 
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters.  Phhbltt!  Too much 
drinking and too little dodging gave TEA TIME a 0-1-0!  I got a good laugh out of it! 
Up 'n down.  Up 'n down.  Rankings always change.  Up 'n down.  I think I'm gonna 
be...  Well, OLD SCHOOL 49ERS' 8th moved them up to 1-0-0 place.  What's with ODESSA? 
She actually beat KYR'TERR's AMBITIOUS GUARD, and walked away with 12 more points 
from the fight.  Major screwup at DARQUE FORCES.  KING TEC lost 3 points to RICE 80.  
Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe KING TEC will provide more easy wins...  
HONEYWELL was reminded on the sands why RICH GIRL is Duelmaster.  Advice to fighters 
with a 1 will--give up fighting!   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  The 
most avoided team was DARQUE FORCES.  In my day, no team with a 89-102-9 would scare 
me off!  What's the problem, NYSE BRESTUSUSES?  How well I know the feeling of being 
the most challenged warrior, L5R!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to 
haunt you.   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  Here's some advice:  study your opponent, master 
many skills, fight dirty.   
     Who knows what the future holds for a warrior.  More fights, there's no doubt.  
KYR'TERR is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.  I don't 
want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen
