                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of TRANSEL.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to 
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  The boys at 
Z.A.P.P. MASTERS left the arena dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by 
BREWHALLA.  Good show!  Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a 
perceptive observation?) as BREWHALLA can attest...  Say what you will about blind 
luck and dirty fighting, but RUNE will tell you 73-68-6 is nothing to laugh at...  
RUNE had cause to celebrate, after THURIZU 2 got 24 points by beating DERL.  A 
certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 20 
points to THURIZU 2.  (Discrete enough, DERL?) Duelmaster PSI CAT from TEMERE NOMEN 
is going for the gold, as she challenged SCORPIUS' LESATH.  Ooh, the excitement!  Now 
I can't insult LESATH, as she has gloriously dueled to the top.  Oh great new 
Duelmaster!!!  (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) So who was the warrior seen 
charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees?  Someone's got a basic 
problem...   
     So much to report, so little time!  To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in 
Z.A.P.P. MASTERS are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to avoid 'em.  The 
warriors of Z.A.P.P. MASTERS found their efforts at combat frustrated as BREWHALLA 
apparently had more important things to do than fight.  If challenges were horses, 
SOLARHRINGER could open up a fast food joint!  Call 'im brash!  Call 'im brassy!  
Call 'im brave!  Call 'im sassy!  ZIRCOTHIAN will face JENNEY SWEET, up by 29.  
Aaaah, just call 'im dead meat.  JENNEY SWEET had a quite go of it, putting 
ZIRCOTHIAN in his place.  Willing to win at any cost is BLUE FLY, who challenged 
SOLARHRINGER, 8 points junior.  Our sympathies, SOLARHRINGER!  I thought BLUE FLY 
showed great skill and promise when she won victory over SOLARHRINGER.  All right, so 
I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Questions are 
being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena.  A certain 
tavern in TRANSEL would I avoid!   
     All good things must come to an end.  As the seasons change, and the creatures 
of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place.  Can anything 
compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for TRANSEL?  On that giddy note I take 
my leave-- Novgorodny Vir
