If they have this file list, your PC's can choose which 'Borg to concentrate on. Or you can keep the list to yourself and call them up for use in random encounters. Your choice, chombatta. Just have fun with 'em!

".... We saw him coming, and knew we were in big trouble. This thing, whatever he is, he's just like we saw him on the Trids. He walked right through the security doors like they was made of Kleenex! We began throwing chickens at him from behind the counter--he caught them in those huge jaws of his, nearly all of them, and we was throwing them as fast as we could. He gobbled them down and kept right on coming. In the end we ran. I looked back just as he crashed through the counter. It's gonna cost a fortune to repair the damage. Then he went for the freezer.

HABITS: Perpetrator strikes any time, night or day, assassin style, and only goes for Arasaka Suits. This 'Borg takes down his prey with a long shot, then comes up close whistling the Arasaka theme song, and finishes the job with an Arasaka Minami 10 SMG, showing it to his victims and asking them if they approve of his choice of weapon. Perpetrator always leaves a business card with his name on it, a smilie face with "have a nice day" crossed over with the red international slashed circle symbol for "not allowed", and the message: "Thanks for all the memories. Now it's payback time!" Perpetrator leaves Matrix messages on all bulletin boards accusing Arasaka of having hung him and his team out to dry on a covert mission three years ago, and only seeks "divine retribution--I think retribution is just devine, don't you?" Or so the whispers have it....
Extract of Eyewitness Report follows: "....My escort was laughing as we came out of the opera! Then he pitched forward, all doubled up. He stared up at me with surprise written all over his face, till he heard the whistling. He gasped at me to run. I didn't want to leave him, but then I saw the 'Borg. He was dressed up in black tie and tux. He had the most wicked grin--he said a few things I couldn't hear, then pulled out this machine gun and--Poor Mr Johnson! Then the 'Borg placed a business card in Mr. Johnson's coat and walked off into the fog, still whistling. I hear that tune in my nightmares...."

Extract of Eyewitness Report follows:
".... I don't care what anyone says, Mr. Sommers is a real hero. If it wasn't for him, those bikers would've stolen my pension cheque. They were waiting for me, snatched my handbag and knocked me to the ground. Then Mr. Sommers jumped in, just like Superman, only he didn't change out of his suit first. He fended off their gunshots using his briefcase like a shield, then swung it at those bums and knocked them senseless. Never had to use his own SMG. Oh, I'll admit, I didn't much like the way he tore off their arms so they couldn't hurt anyone anymore, but still, they deserved what they got. They shouldn't go around picking on innocent folks. If you are watching, Mr. Sommers, thank you so much for rescuing me. That's what this country needs, more fine, upstanding citizens like Mr. Sommers, that's what I think. ...."

".... We didn't do bupkus, guy! We just blew in from Idaho for the Wild Thing Rock Concert, and munchin' on some soyburgers when BLAM! We get hit by heavy arms fire. We dive for cover, but not before Gopher and Scuzzy bit the bullet. I'm thinking--Death Knight ambush! But then I scope this cop--anyway she was kitted out like a cop--and she was going for it like there was no tomorrow. Half my crew got nailed before that Citicop chopper dropped in.

"....I tell ya I thought I musta been dreamin'. One minute I was stacking fish crates in the freezer, the next I was flat on my Keester looking up at this big guy with a cat's head looking down at me. "Meow!" he says to me, grabs three or four boxes of fresh fish and disappears!
