                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to JURINE once again!  Hmmmph!  I always thought THIS MODERN WORLD 
was an over-rated team and they proved it with a 1-0-0!  What's with SHARPER IMAGE?  
It actually beat THE KATANAS' WANI, and walked away with 13 more points from the 
fight.  Major screwup at THE KATANAS.  WANI lost 11 points to SHARPER IMAGE.  Some 
new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe WANI will provide more easy wins...  I'm sure JURINE 
is excited about BUSHIDO, the new Duelmaster from THE KATANAS.  (remember?)  But when 
you've seen as many as I have...  Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to 
practice on?  I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...  JURINE thinks THIS 
MODERN WORLD and their 6-4-0 is too much!  If at first you don't succeed, give up...  
Management must be dealin', as the boys at THE KATANAS ain't reelin'!  THIS MODERN 
WORLD's mad!   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting 
younger every day?  To die so young, so gloriously!   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  
JURINE 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
