                                      SPY REPORT

     Oh, hi.  Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte.  Thought I'd check out STORMCROWE to 
see what's new.  What was the name of that team who got 4-1-1 this turn for a total 
149-133-7 you ask?  (Sure)  KNIGHT BREED's their name, and fighting's their game!  
MVP award for HORRACH?  DEAD SILENCE's proud of him after beating LUSCIOUS MALFOY and 
getting 20 points.  Talk about yer big time losers!  LUSCIOUS MALFOY got smashed by 
HORRACH, and lost 15 points!  What a putz!  THE VEAL DEAL fights so hard to be 
Duelmaster, then quits fighting and loses the title.  No one said he was a genius...  
And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!)  Oh well, welcome 
SPACE DANDY.  Aren't KNIGHT BREED proud.  (Oh, my.) I hear the top team insists all 
their warriors get nine hours sleep.  They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.   
     AAARRGH!!!  I HATE SPYREPORTING!!!  Sorry.  I just had to say it.  KNIGHT BREED 
was the most avoided team.  Is a 149-133-7 record really that scary?  Hhmph!  What 
kind of warriors are AVID FANS?  KNIGHT BREED, an easy team to beat if I ever saw 
one, can't get them to accept an invitation!   
     Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other!  Don't you guys ever give 
it a break?  What if they had a fight and nobody showed up?  I'd be out of a job, 
that's what!!!   
     I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid.  Who would've guessed I'd be 
a famous Spyreporter?  I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really 
should stop.  I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte
