                                      SPY REPORT

     Oh, hi.  Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte.  Thought I'd check out FRATSFA to see 
what's new.  Too bad, IRON CATHEDRAL, but ADEPTA SORORITAS was just too good to be 
stopped.  MVP award for FERNY ROSS?  MIDDLE WAY 8's proud of him after beating KAPPA 
CYGNI and getting 15 points.  Talk about yer major upsets!  ZINC PREBSTER's match 
with PENITENT ENGINE cost him a loss of 11 points!  Don't you think the Duelmaster is 
being unfair?  I think BANDED ACOLYTE should let TENNESSE SMITH be Duelmaster for a 
while, without fighting about it.  Who was the wiseguy that said FRATSFA's Duelmaster 
was paying for drinks at The Victory Tavern?  Don't look at me!   
     AAARRGH!!!  I HATE SPYREPORTING!!!  Sorry.  I just had to say it.  OTTO'S PARTS 
was the most avoided team.  Is a 458-404-24 record really that scary?  Hhmph!  What 
kind of warriors are ADEPTA SORORITAS?  OTTO'S PARTS, an easy team to beat if I ever 
saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation!   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  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'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it 
quits.  Its been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

Zinc Prebster -- That didn't look very different from the first time. Some would think 
about giving an old-timer a break. -- Two Hands

Umberto Vine -- You should be renamed Timex, for you take a lickin' and keep on 
tickin' -- Dental Implant

Xeno -- When the boss reads your fights, he channels his inner Buster Poindexter

go right through.  Not a good thought. -- Umberto Vine

Maiden Alloy -- Nobody likes hospitals.  I enjoyed giving you those skills.  You're a 
pretty little thing, after all. -- Tennessee Smith

The assassin works in the arena because he isn't good enough to work in the streets 
and corridors of the city. -- Ferny Ross

I disarmed the Chardinee.  Hah! -- Xavier Yang
