>>>>>[ Sadly enough, Trax and Puppet followed Midnight's command and
I have no true footage to offer. However, I was allowed to listen
into the official debriefing so that I could record for my records
what has happened.

"Best sport of the night" goes to Blitzkrieg and Gunner who had
nothing to do except sit and wait and pray that their friends came
out okay.

First, I suppose I should give a brief outline of what people were
wearing. It was all urban camouflage, but it wasn't uniform. I
didn't learn until almost show time that Midnight, Whirlwind, and
Doomsday were in one of the many varieties of Legion Urban
camouflage. As is typical of the Legion, they used local face
painting customs for that blend in touch. Shadowfox was decked out
as most Wildcats would be. Uniform and face were painted like one
who has done the drill many times. Uniform had no official markings.

Geiger, Phoenix, and Griffyn were wearing standard run of the mill,
urban camouflage but their faces were painted uniquely. Geiger was
up to his typical horrifying self, although he didn't use any colors
that would be obvious from the shadows. Would have made a great All
Hallows Eve get-up if you asked me. Then again, of course you
didn't. Phoenix let Geiger get creative with what he saw inside.
Based on his comments of Phoenix and Sacrifice, I would say he didn't
get too far off the mark. Although as you can tell from the
picture, where Phoenix and Sacrifice fit into this, I'm not sure...

+++++ include Jason.Facial.pix

Griffyn had his face painted like a night tiger. I thought it was
pretty cool looking, but then again, no one ever asks me. Gunner,
FireWraith, and Easy were in the standard variety of urban
camouflage. Gunner chose the Irish method of face painting.
FireWraith and Easy choose good old UCAS style of the ol' apply it
thick and lots of it.

Lady Quinn was in British Army lightweight DPM of the
green-brown-black variety. She was wearing a dark err -- red beret
that had a black Pegasus badge. Her face was done in the most
excellent variety of British camo. I'm sure Geiger was very proud of
her get up. I never realized how patriotic the old man was for his
own country.

As you already know, Puppet, Wrecker, myself, Doc, Trax, and
Blitzkrieg didn't get to dress up.

Matrix action was pretty nonexistent. Jester surprised me at one
point and by the time I figured out what he said, the police were
already in motion. They basically had a wait and see attitude. And
while they didn't interfere with the bizarre looping patterns used by
Death's vans and our own, it did add a lot of tension on the outside.
Puppet and Trax had a decent amount of difficulty figuring out which
drones were to be nailed because Death had a bunch out as well.

Huh? Damn. Back in a couple.]<<<<<
