    William look down at the package, its rather unassuming, but many things of true import looked that way. He gets up, package under his arm, and walks back to his hotel a block away. Once he arrives he locks the door, and makes sure there are no cameras or other kind of information gathering equipment. William checks the package carefully, weighing it, and even running a metal detector over it, before opening it.

    Taking a quick moment to catch his breath, Marco vaults himself over the first few flight of stairs before slowing down and taking a methodical careful approach the rest of the way. He wants to get the man alive if possible, this whole situation makes almost no sense.

    Finally opening the packet, you slide out a small number of documents. A manilla folder lays closed before you, as well as an SD card. A business card-sized piece of scrap with a printed phone number on it, and a sheet of paper with $100,000 written on it.


    Marco Cornaro

    As you near the top, utter silence sets in. You round the top step, and a man stands up and faces you. Before you can react, he drops his rifle to the side in a clatter, and laughs. In the middle of the room you see a large bomb, about the size of a speaker. It beeps the seconds away, menacing in it's quietness.

    You follow the men as they pass, and eventually end up at a rough looking condemned building in Chinatown. The men bring their car into a garage and leave the door open. Inside, you can't see anything except their red taillights.

    Marcus stands in shock, staring at the remains of his car.

    He screams an expletive VERY loudly.

    He rushes out of the ruins of the building.

    He hears the screams as he leaves, and turns around. I don't have time for this, he thinks to himself, I've got more important things to do, and someone else will notice and call the ambulance.

    He takes a look around to see if there's anything suspicious, or if whoever blew up the restaurant is still around.

    Awake and almost falling out of his chair, Sigeismund's hands shake as he holds the note in his hands.

    "Okay..."

    "Okay..."

    Sig heaved heavily. He squelched his jaw shut. "Okay."

    "Okay."
    "Okay, time to stopping saying okay," he said to himself.

    With a shaky hand, Sig "almost" dialed the number. Then, with a less shaky hand, he carefully read off the digits...

    Any detective work would be done later.

    As you rush outside, you notice the explosion, though large, was centered on your car. Nothing is left but flaming wreckage. As soon as your feet hit the pavement, however, gunshots start from the roof of a low building across the street. Soon, you're pinned down by automatic fire from at least five people. From down the street, however, comes the sound of squealing tires. A white BMW Z3 hardtop convertable screams up to you and skids to a halt feet from you when the door opens. Inside you see an attractive, black haired woman. You noticed her looking into the restaurant earlier. "Get in!" She yells, as bursts of fire spang off of the other side of her car.


    Wilhelm Faustus

    The folder explains in as much detail as possible the known travels and experiences of a person for the past five months. There isn't much there, but a frame of reference begins to set itself in your mind. A small post-it note mentions pictures on the SD card, as well as the encryption code. Going over the file in detail, you see a person who's very sneaky, an suspect that at least a few of the mentioned loclales or snippets of info are incorrect, or at least possibly misguided. The last known loction is listed as New York, and the target is said to drive a white BMW Z3. The pictures, when examined, all show an attractive woman with shoulder length brown hair and green eyes, and there are quite a few of her in disguise.


    Carmen Christine

    The tiallights on the agents' car turns off, leaving the inside of the building dark for a minute. The two agents step out of the garage and one motions for you to go in while the other walks towards you, empty hands held up. "I know we seem suspicious, Ms. Christine, but this matter is higher than Top Secret. There are only seven FBI agents in the world with high enough clearance to oversee this, and you're looking at two of them. A third is upstairs, staking out the site. If you want to leave your car outside, fine. But we'd prefer not to have any curious visitors pop in." He hands you a flashlight and pulls a second one out, then him and the other agent go inside the dark garage.

    After reading and rereading all the documents, William brought out his phone and dialed the number, suspecting he would remember the voice on the other side. As William called he picked up his laptop, and inserted the card, reading through the contents quickly.

    Snapping his pistol up into the ready position, the agent takes quick aim and fires a round towards the madman's leg. He wanted the man immobilized and unthreatening not dead. At this range it would be a simple shot.

    (based on the success of my shot)

    First things first, Marco rushes over to the rifle and kicks it down the stairs before turning his attention towards the bomb seeing if he can possibly disarm it before it goes off.

    In an unmarked office, somewhere in Sydney, Australia...

    The phone rings.

    A single female sits alone in an office building, a laptop and a phone her only companions.

    The phone rings.

    She picks up the handset, speaking into the receiver in a cool professional manner.

    "Sigeismund Saur." It isn't a question.

    Your computer, while viewing the files, shuts itself off inexplicbly. You restart it and it procedes as normal afterwards. There is no indication of anything on the card that suggests it had anything to do with it. "Good." Says a male voice on the phone. "Call this again when the rerouting is done, nd I'll verify and transfer payment." The man hangs up.


    Marco Cornaro

    The shot hits the man's leg, and he grunts, but he turns around while you kick his rifle and jumps over the balcony, to the multi-story drop below. The bomb ticks down, and when you near it, you see the count is 3:44, dropping by the second.


    Marcus Lennox

    The woman looks at Marcus, and says his name. "Marcus Lennox." Then she slams the car forward at an impressive speed and leaves the gunmen behind. "Unfortunately," She begins, "I have less of an idea than you do." She glance sinto her rear view mirror. "I dropped by earlier, tracked you down to the cafe. I saw you sit next to those MagCorp men...I thought you were with them." She throws him a quick smile. "Luckily, explosions make for quick news. I'm guessing that only Magtok knows who's who back there."

    Damn it all to hell! Kneeling down in front of the bomb, Marco pulls what few tools he has from his pockets. A switchblade knife, and a small pocket toolkit. Disassembling the case carefully but quickly(being mindful of any potential booby traps) Marco works feverishly to disarm the device.

    Sig's voice quivers as he begins to say, "Mother", but quickly corrects himself.

    "Ya, moth-"

    "...moth- moth - must... must you always be so... direct?"

    This wasn't his mother. Her voice would never leave his mind.
    "Ya, I am called by that name, and it is my name, so that vould be correct. And I can help you in what way?"

    Sig winced. Detective work first, next time.

    The men look at each other. The second man finally speaks. "Well, only seven FBI agents know, ma'am. Others include the President, the Secretary of Defense, and a few...private officials, also within the U.S. government. You would be our...occult liasion in this matter. Trust me when I say it's big." They shut the door, and immediately after wards the lights come on. They lead you into a door and to the stairs. Inside, the building is just as decrepit as it looks. They lead you up flight after flight of white stairs and to an eventual stop. They tell you it's the eighth floor. They, like you, draw their sidearms as they approach one of the rooms. The further you go, the more you realize that this must have once been an apartment complex. Some of the doors are numbered still, and as you near the 650's, you begin to have a suspicion of which room you're heading to. Sure enough, they turn at door 662, heading around a bend in the hallway. Turning the corner, you're the second to see the mutilated body of a third FBI agent. One agent turns to and fro, looking for any sign of the culprit. The other one immediately places a call on his headset. "George is out. Dead." Pause. "Yes, she's with us. We..." Pause. "We're going to need him. I don't think one specialist is enough." Pause. "It's bad." As he hngs up, you examine the body. The agent appears to be bent quite horribly, with both halves of his spine portruding from his back. One of his arms is missing, and most of his ribs are crushed together. His eyes are missing, and his lower jaw is also gone. His legs are sliced off at knees, roughly, like they were grinded down. The door behind him, to room 666, is smashed outwards, and scorch marks line the frame.


    Marcus Lennox

    She gives Marc a slightly apologetic look. "Call me Sophia." She says. "I thought I could help you. I had a lead on someone who was associated with Magtok recently, although I couldn't find him. I know your...history with MagCorp and figured you could help me find this contact, maybe we could take Magtok out one and for all." She slows down and takes a few random turns, even going down a one way street. Finally, she pulls the car to a stop in a back alley, and turns it off. "Alright, is there anywhere you need to be?" She says, nonchalantly.


    Marco Cornaro

    The device is challenging. All of the wires are white and shades of gray. There are a few duplicated modules spread around the case, each wired just the same. You can only assume all but one are fake. Your work provides you with clear access to the detontion core, however, and you see straight into the heart of the explosive. Blocks of C4, many of them, sit in a tight bundle in the center. Relying on prodding and guesswork, you manage to seperate the explosives from the timers. Relying on guesswork for the rest of it, you slice each of the wires on each module, working from the lightest to darkest. Luckily, when you slice one of the second to last wires, the timer stops. The time is 1:12.

    "Mr Saur, it isn't what you can do for me-- its what we can do for you. My organisation has taken note of you and your, shall we say, extensive history." The female smiles on her end of the receiver.

    "Our network has become aware of your search for a close relative, and would like to offer our services, in return for a favour at a later time. We also have information available from around the world, all available to you-- at a reasonable rate, of course."

    Breathing a sigh of relief, Marco performs one more task on the bomb. He removes the detonators from the C4 to prevent any accidental explosions.

    Getting back to his feet Cornaro rushes down the stairs trying to get to the assassin. Despite the fall he still may be alive and even if he is not their may still be information he can get from the body.

    The Magbots do one of the things they do best in situations like this. They disappear. The costumes are tossed into the flames, and Sparkles reaches into a bag under the wheelchair, quickly yanking out two top hats. The black and white striped top hat is placed on his own head, and a hat with rainbow stripes is handed to Sprinkles as they run. Muffin gets no hat however, seeing as he's of a different Magbot model, one not designed to be an absurd mix of silly and scary.

    The minions RUN.

    "I see."

    Sig's voice wavered as he spoke.

    "And... this information, comes at your price, which is being the price of an unidentified favor."

    Sig licked his lips. Favors come and go. "Ya, I would like you to give me details now, please, as well as I would like to agree to your conditions." Sig smiled. One day - one day, he said, he would learn better English.

    "The rain came down like all the angels in heaven decided to take a piss at the same time," he thought tom himself. "When you're in a situation like mine, you can only think in metaphors."

    Finally making your way outside, you get there just in time to see a wounded man getting away. His fall and the resulting climb down put him on the second floor, where he made his way to the corner of the building. Now higher than the wall, he leaps over the edge, disappearing from view into the streets outside of the castle.


    Carmen Christine

    The agents give each other another glance. "We don't know, exactly. We need to take a look at that room. There's a body in there we need you to look t." After saying this, the men hold their pistols at the ready and lead you to the door. They rush in and spread out, guns at the ready. After a few seconds of no noise, one of them calls you inside. Upon entry, you see a large sigil written in some kind of fluid in the center of the floor. The apartment is bare, the walls and floor torn down to their wooden layers. Melted candles lie in a six point arrangement around the symbol. The symbol itself is an upside down pentagram in concentric circles, the outer one being inscribed with five hebrew letters, LVTYN, which you recognize as the semetic spelling of leviathan. A goat's head is crudely drawn in the center, under the sixth candle. You identify it as the Sigil of Baphomet.

    There is no body, but a fine layer of ash covers the floor. Burn marks line in odd shapes around the sigil.


    Marcus Lennox

    She shrugs. "Well, I know who we're looking for, or about him, but I need a name or location. Fortunately, I know where we can get his name. I believe I can get a document specifying this man for target by Lord Magtok, probably for some sinister deed. I'm glad I found you; Your reputation insures success, and I don't think I could do this alone." She starts the car and drives out of the alley. "We need to get to a computer. A secure one; As tough to hack as you can get. I have a contact who should have my results by then."


    The Minions

    as they run away, barely concealed as robots, a man steps forward in front of them. He smiles, and points a grenade launcher at them. "Whoa, fellas. I'm not here to cuse trouble, I just wanted your attention for a second." He keeps smiling. The smile is small but bright; It puts the robot in the mind to behve, oddly disquieted for machines. The man is exceedingly odd. His pants are mil-spec, and he's strapped with a pair of pistols in a tight rig around his waist, mde up of a pair of looping belts. His shirt is tight and made of a waterproof material. A knife is suspended upside down on his left shoulder. His hair is long and blonde, and currently tied into a ponytail. "I just wanted you to thank the jolly Mag-man for me. Tell him that last shipment was exactly what I was looking for." With a curt nod, he turns and opens an alley door into some building. The seven red laser sights that had been targeting the minions all disappear, leaving them alone in an alley.

    Being security models, they leave with more than twenty photos of the man and an audio recording each.

    Giving chase Marco pursues the obviously wounded man knowing that he should easilly be able to track down and capture the injured assassin considering his current condition.

    Okay, I have a good idea what we're dealing with here. Here, take some silver bullets, I always carry some with me. You might want a fire extinguiser, it should help keep you from getting fried.
    Carmen starts looking around to figure out where it went.

    You run outside of the gates and hed left to cut the man off. Traffic is a little heavy, but you see him run into an alleyway as soon as you round the corner of the outside wall.

    Contrary to the images your imagination pulls up, you can faintly make out scorched footsteps leading from the edge of the circle to the caved-out door, and they are completely human in appearance. Residual energy lingers in the air, and you see and feel an empty room. "When we found this place, there was just the big symbol in the middle and a body in it, arms and legs at the points. The candles are new."

    Darting in and out of traffic, he turns the corner trying to keep up with the man. For someone who was just shot in the leg and then fell over a dozen feet to the ground the man was moving quickly. Hugging the wall he turns the corner to the alley...
