                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome TRANSEL.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have 
I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  What's with SKIP JAMES?  He 
actually beat TRANSEL's WEGERIN GREATBLADE, and walked away with 14 more points from 
the fight.  Laughs were big at TRANSEL while they watched PEREGRINE FIREHAWK clobber 
ROBERT JOHNSON.  He lost 15 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the 
stands.  I can barely restrain my enthusiam for INK & STEEL FOREVER's outstanding 
member, Duelmaster HARD CORE.  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.   
     Warriors of TRANSEL unite.  You have only your games to lose!  We all knew it 
had to happen sooner or later.  A warrior can't stick around with a 13-10-0, and 
NURNIN THE UNLUCKY easily took care of SONNY BOY II.  Many a warrior has met his fate 
in a hungover stupor.  You young rapscallions, take note!   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  The end 
of another Spyreport!  That's cause for celebration in my book!  I don't want to 
overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen
