OPERATION REPORT #2
AUTHOR: W.R.
You receive an email to your phone with no name and no address.
It was just sent out to you from some encrypted server.
(Players are using the hashtag: #TheLinkRP to discuss field matters, on twitter.)
I got to admit, I've had fun peeking in on all the little things you do.
So meticulous... I like it.
So, as a reward, I'll show you what a few others are up to.
Oh, stop your sniveling...Did you really think I was going to leave this all up to you?
INITIAL INVESTIGATIONS
Russell Kobayashi made sure to appear at the Horned God around the same time that Andre Bacard would be hanging about, to ask him a few questions regarding the Ealdwic warehouse fire that hit the news. Russell learned of the body of a young girl that was found inside, named Mai Tokashi, and of the man they detained that came rushing out of the building, claiming to have had a 'tiny robot' under his skin. He also seemed to have gained Bacard as a contact. A surveillance camera feed can be found here.
The House of Light of Portland seems to have lost contact with one of their own. Natalyia Kenzaki looks into the strange disappearance of one of their student Justine, and finds herself faced with a large amount of information. She finds details of a meeting gone wrong, a cellphone that seemed to be left behind by their student, vials of a strange drug from a pharmaceutical company.
After digging around in Darkside, and buying a few rounds for some patrons at the Horned God, Astrid Archer meets with Maxis Traveborn to learn of what was going on. After being pleasantly surprised that she brought the man cupcakes, he felt a bit more compelled to tell her some more information. He tells her about a survivor, Elianna Abate, the young German that he found her with, as well as of the location in Los Angeles that he saved her from. He also clued her in on the fall of an organization known as "No End", after introducing the thought of another organization called "The Link".
Jericho Blake decided to rekindle a flirty flame, and meets up with Allura Allbet at The R Bar in New York. After the two seem to share a few drinks and some chit chat, Jericho learned that a certain Italian, was having some trouble with his underground business, due to an influx of white vans in London. She also informed him about another German man, in his late 40's, trying to get a message through to NYC, by asking for the help of a few drug hands.
Markel Smythe was informed that Kida McCormick was in need of a debriefing on the situation, and decided to meet with her in Illuminati HQ. Here, Markel learned that she saw the faces of her attacks, and that they were extremely fast. She also seemed to get what looked like a chip of some sort from the human she encountered. With a bit of research, he learned it belonged to a man named Seung Tae Kyu.
Shiba Aka hung around a few of the homeless shelters as he witnessed Maxis Traveborn collecting a bounty, and hauling back to his bunker. Aka followed, and was able to get an audience with the man, where he learned of what he was dealing with. He was clued in about Elianna Abate, Bunai Hitsugaya, Nvida Noire and a woman with white wings that seemed to have taken his form and kidnapped Abate from his protection. He also learned of how to deactivate those who are chipped, without killing them completely. Good information to know..
Jericho Blake decided to meetup with Kida McCormick in the gym during one of her training sessions for her re-initiation into the Illuminati. At first, it would seem that Blake startled the woman by knowing so much about the enemy, but in time, she too helped to shed some light on what was going on by informing him of what was taken and how. Surveillance footage of their encounter can be found here.
MAKING THE CONNECTIONS
Trist reached out to a hacker, known as "Master of Kimchi" who managed to hack into the Connecticorp's website, and into their emails to learn of their main server's location. He learned that a company called Trinity Divisions is holding their server account. However, he seems to need some serious man power to learn more.
After meeting with Andre, Russell Kobayashi decided to follow up on lead, and takes Min-Suh Kobayashi along with him to meet with Ramon Sanchez in Maudsley Hospital's psych ward. They find the man is barely keeping it together, and has difficultly speaking in coherent, fluid sentences. Yet, they still come to learn of a woman with wings, that I (W.R) was his last visitor (poor sap), and learns that he used to work with a pharmaceutical company known as Genesis Pharmaceuticals.
Russell Kobayashi and wife, Min-Suh Kobayashi decided to take a peek at the residence of Ramon Sanchez, and found that he hadn't been home in what seemed to be months. Min-Sub was able to download intel from one Sanchez's computer towers, and Russell was able to get images of some of his grand conspiracy maps before they were attacked.
RUMOR HAS IT THAT...
(These scenes are still in progress)
As Natalyia Kenzaki looked into the last known coordinates of Justine, Finley Blanchard (not his real name) and Jayden Oshiro (also a created name) from The House of Light of Portland, decided to visit Connecticorp's Los Angeles location for a tour of the facility, and to learn of their EduConnect program for students.
Mala Hearne took a trip to The R Bar to talk up the ever so beautiful Allura Allbet.
Ion Lupei decided that he wanted to see what all the fuss was about with all this talk about Connecticorp, and decided to go and visit their New York location.
Min-Suh Kobayashi decided to get all dressed up and head to one of the most notorious spots in Seoul, "The Den of Sin", to meet with none other than the Madame Miss Cho. However, it seems Miss Cho will be having the woman... dress down.
Supposedly, a Mr. Trist is also looking forward to dropping in on the "The Den of Sin", to meet with the Madame Miss Cho. Maybe she'll at least let him keep some of his clothes on...
Bryan DiCesari was alerted by the emails and texts I sent him, and decided that he wanted to go and see what Connecticorp was all about. He had the desire to take his life back into his own hands, and to do a bit of investigating from the inside. What could go wrong, right?
After eavesdropping onto a conversation between Astrid Archer and patron in the Horned God, Amal Al-Chania learns of the bounty hunter, Maxis Traveborn, and decided to go and drop in for a few questions.
Hannibal Symes became furious that he learned of the shipment from New Carthage that was hit, and decided to go investigate what happened with newly recruited Lynnette Bowman.
Wendy McAllister decided to try her hand at looking into the drug handler Mario DaVino.
MOVING FORWARD: ALREADY IN MOTION
After Russell Kobayashi and wife Min-Suh Kobayashi got a hold of Elianna Abate, they decided to meet up with Astrid Archer and Ivan Azarov to scope out the location that Elianna Abate was taken to. They may still need a hand...
Jericho Blake headed out to the meat packing district of New York to find drug handler, Mario DaVino, under the premise that he can help with his white van problem.
MOVING FORWARD: CHANGING THE GAME
The residence of Ramon Sanchez, has been burned down to the ground, and destroyed. Templars and local Ealdwic PD arrived to the scene after an anonymous 911 text, and Andre Bacard was one of the first responders to the rubble, after being tipped off by Russell Kobayashi.
Ramon Sanchez is now under detainment with The Templars, and will only allow Templar personnel access to his holding cell.
Connecticorp has decided to move forward with their nutritional energy bar items, to sell in their three branches. The bars are supposed to keep their employees wide awake and healthy, though there have been rumors...
Two Templar Agents, Amanda Hero and Malcolm Holmes reported being knocked out in the streets of Darkside when patrolling with a Alice Montgomerie. They noted that when they woke in the streets, vagrants and ghouls had looted their bodies, and Alice was missing.
"Master of Kimchi" is still awaiting a team of agents to proceed with is 'delicate op'.
The Fight Club in Seoul has also had a strange influx of attendee's. Wonder what's that all about.
Astrid Archer and Ivan Azaroz returned a homeless man named Mark, and his daughter to safety in Los Angeles where the Council of Venice took credit in the news. LA vagrants are now on high alert for suspicious activity.
Council of Venice is still conducting investigation on the downed cargo ship in the Adriatic Sea.
A downloadable audio file is attached to the email:
"Hello? This- This is TR088- Ugh... No, no, I mean Tamera! My name is Tamera! I AM TAMERA!"
"Hey Miss...You alright?" a voice would say, faintly in the distance.
"Undercover… Under…Damn this signal…Help! Please! This goes out to anyone who can pick up this sig-AHH!"
"Hey, chill, I just wanted to make sure you were okay-"
"N-No! You have to run! RUN!"
The device would make a clunking sound as it dropped.
__________________________
That was all I could salvage from the recording...
From the sound of the voice? I'm pretty sure it was Tamera Ross...
Find her.
Oh, and don't fuck anything up.
Well, whatever you do:
GOOD LUCK
