>>>>>[ Oh Jesus... Look guys and gals back in Seattle things have taken a
real
turn for the worse here. We found the island that PH had been hiding on with
his family, aww fragging drek.. I'm sorry it's too much..

We set off yesterday and ran into trouble a few miles out, some of this dude
Jules' men. Well we saw them off and eventually reached our target, it wasn't
much more than 1/4 of a mile across. A couple of huts used by marine
reserachers make up the islands only housing... Aww drek, I'm sorrym I'm just
gonna give you a video feed of what we saw.

***** Begin Transmission
A small carribean island, golden sands and palm trees swaying in a stiff
breeze coming in from the west. The beach shows several deep grooves as if
some boats had been moored here recently. Just on the edge of the beach a
small hut can be seen it is burnt to the ground. The camera focuses in a small
sign, "Atlantean Research Foundation", to one side of the house two dead bodies
lay, they had been tied up then shot through the head. You don't recognise
them but from their clothes but they appear to be locals.

The view changes as the person holding it begins to travel up a small path,
along the way trees show signs of being hit by bullets or possibly grenades.
Ahead is a small community of huts all except one have been burnt to the
ground, in the small clearing that the huts surround several bodies can be
seen. They are all armed men or women, maybe about 5, they appear to have
been shot though many have had their throats slit as well. One has cracks
all over his skin and his eyes have burst from their sockets, you suspect this
one died from magic.

The camera only glances over the bodies before entering the hut that is still
standing, it has been made from a collection of plastics and looks like it was
where the last stand was made. Inside there is more devastation and death.
Bullet holes wrack the sides and large holes possibly from grenades are present.
About 4 people inside are dead, all hold a wild look in their eyes and all
have had their throats slit. At the back of hut a large hole has been made
and what looks like a path made into the jungle can be seen through the hole.

The camera goes through the hole and follows the path. Eventually in the middle
of the path a large troll lies dead. He has taken many bullet wounds and it
appeared that he ran for someway whilst being shot. There are also signs of
a struggle though no other bodies can be seen. The camera zooms in on the
troll's face, it is a picture of anguish, a once handsome and strong man who
coped well with his goblinization.

IBA's voice chips in, choking to hold back the tears "This was ol PH's dad.
Look what the bastards did to him.. "

Punisher steps into view and covers the body with a coat. They continue,
walking up the path, eventually another clearing is reached. It appears that
a large battle took place here, severed limbs neatly stacked in a pile and
covered are pointed out by Punisher. Lots of blood stains the floor. In the
middle of the clearing are two stakes with beams tied across to form crosses.
Bound to one is the figure of a woman, black with dark attractive features,
she has been stripped naked and had her tongue ripped out. From the marks
on the rest of her body you can only surmize that she was horribly tortured
before she died.

Punisher steps forward again "This was PH's mom... He looks hard at the camera,
rage in his eyes. I swear I'll kill whoever did this..." After a moment or
two he calms down slightly. Then he turns to the other cross.

This one is empty though blooded rope can be seen hanging from various points.

Punisher speaks again "I think this is where PH was held, we found this."

Camera focuses on what appears to be a very large sword, it is highly ornate,
however it has been broken in two. The broken hilt is wrapped in the intestines
of PH's mom, still trailing from her gut.

Aww Jesus!! Oww drek, sorry for the blasphemy but, I'm fragging MAD !!!

We couldn't find PH's body anywhere, we're going to continue looking for him
in the hope that he's alive. But hey guys, I'm sorry it doesn't look good.

Fenris, could you meat us at ***ENCRYPT***, I thought I'd better encrypt it
as I don't think Jules is too happy with us over what we did to his man. We're
gonna take this sword of his in the hope we can give it back to him though
frag knows what good it is now. It was his prized possession though, he'd
never go anywhere without it. We also have to bury the dead and arrange through
Speed's contacts to have PH's parents bodies flown back to England. I think
they'd prefer to be laid to rest there. PH always said how proud his family
were to be British. ]<<<<<
