Ahhh man, Korey's going to lose a friend here? That sucks.

Sorry for not replying much in this, but man, it's crunch time here at
UNBC, and I just got done a whole ton of very stressfull stuff. However, I
did read up (that is, glanced at) what's been tossed around and I like it
all.

As for Korey Winters, I'd have to say that she moved to London to resume
her business after the last big mission that she, Sandra, Shoko, and a few
others were on. Me and Max/Alex had discussed what had happened in that,
where Sandra learned of Korey's true identity, so that could make for some
interesting side effects.

So, Korey is alive and well, having reached an age of 29, and STILL has
not told Raven that she's still alive. She's continuing on with what she
did in Neo York, doing various espionage jobs for whomever will hire her,
and she's quite good at it too.

Although Ray, I would say, is in the same situation as Shoko... there were
some stories I wanted to do with him and Shoko, but if Shoko went back
itno the Zone to find her friends, then I'd like to suggest that Ray went
with her, maybe dying in the process of protecting her?

How does that sound, Jeff?


Jolt! Sweet... nourishing... jolt...
