would be stupid enough to keep buying the cheap shoddy clearance sale

+++++Live feed: Redmond


(A middle aged man, dressed in camouflage gear, and sporting an
expensive hunting rifle, several other weapons leaning against the
parapet of a building behind him. He's about 43, medium height, clean
shaven and well groomed. An expensive gold watch surrounds his wrist.
Several bandoliers of ammunition hang around his waist and shoulders.)


"I want this to be filed for posterity. To show that some of us do care
what happens to this city, and that the encroachment of meta scum has
gone far enough.


The insidious methods that they use to infiltrate all walks of life, and
make their unreasonable demands from their fascist nation. The coverup
that belies the true meaning behind the Elven haven of Tarislar, the
fact that they are the forerunner force of Tairngire must be announced
to the world before it is too late.


This goes out live, and will continue to broadcast as long as possible.
I for one will sit back and watch the metahumans dirty this city no
longer."


Picking up the camera, he walks to the edge of the roof. About eight
stories up, he has a commanding view of the street below. Two
nightclubs, one bar and several appartment buildings in evidence below.
The area must be close to the border of Redmond and Bellevue, the
quality of the buildings better than expected, street lights offering
almost decent lighting.


"I've selected this area after several days of consideration. It is
here that the metahumans have been the most active. I know for a fact
that the night-club below is a meeting point for a gang that has been
terrorising residents in Puyallup. The pawn shop over there (an arm
points) is the residence of a fence who allows the gang to clear their
stolen goods through him, he pays in drugs and weapons, and even
sometimes hands them requests for certain items to be stolen. Tonight
their reign of terror ends."


A series of metallic sounds announce the cocking and loading of several
weapons.


The heavy barrel of a machine gun swings out over the parapet.


"Thankfully, as a member of a survivalist club in Seattle, I've been
able to get hold of some equipment that will guarantee I get the scum
that live down there."


A whoosh, and a trail of smoke leads from the roof gracefully down to
the nightclub entrance. The empty carcase of a LAW 80 disappears over
the side of the roof, followed by a rolling explosion and a flash of
flame. The front of the nightclub explodes into the street.


Momentarily there is a supernatural silence. Then bleeding and injured
break out of the night club, straight into a hail of bullets from the
MG. Others run from the bars nearby, also running the gauntlet of
bullets laid down by the weapon.


Several residents from the appartment buildings fire blindly through
their windows, rapidly losing their enthusiasm to the heavy fire of the
MG, their windows and surrounds peppered with bullets.


Setting the MG down, the man picks up a hunting rifle and methodically
begins to pick off people below. Some shelter behind cars, others hide
in the entrances to buildings, while still more attempt to reach safety
across the killing ground that is the street. Faintly, slowly building
in intensity, Police sirens approach.


"The Police are coming now, and soon I'll have to kill some of them, in
order to continue this mission as long as possible. It is necessary you
see. A warning must be sent. A warning that no longer will the
terrorism of metahumans be tolerated. Their attacks into the quarters
of the better citizens, the destruction, defilement and theft of
property must end. That is why I stand here doing this. Because
somebody has to make a stand somewhere. The Police obviously can't
cope, and are more interested in metahuman rights than in the rights of
honest decent citizens. Well, let this be my message to the scum who
would defile my home and my city. I am not alone, others like me are
taking their own actions."


Three police cruisers slide to a halt in the street, the officers
climbing out, weapons ready. The man picks up the machine gun again,
killing two officers and pincushioning a cruiser.


A bright flame erupts on the roof near the camera, the machine gun
topples over the edge followed by the body of the man, flames immolating
his corpse as it hurtles towards the ground, followed closely by a
flaming object that writhes, shrinks and expands as it wraps itself
around the falling man.


Police officers storm into the building.


"Jesus H Christ in a handcart, he had a goddamn arsenal up here, and the
sick fuck was filming it." The camera shudders as it's picked up,
swinging round to reveal a hardened face, eyes of cold steel, a dark
blue cap over uniformed shoulders. The legend Lone Star surrounding the
central symbol. "What a fucking night."


"Yeah, well DPI sorted his ass, shame we lost a couple. I'll radio it
in and get the meat wagons up here. Looks like he made a good goddamn
mess of this place. You OK with this stuff Dan?"


"Yeah, I'm fine, make the call."

A weeping priest kneels besides the twisted bodies of several young
children, the burns on their small bodies extensive, the pain of their
deaths evident. A hysterical woman screams in mortal agony from the
restraining arms of a police officer. A sign, still smouldering, hangs
over the burned shell of a hostel. "COT Brotherhood of Hope & Charity"


The camera pulls back to a slim dark haired beauty.


"And again the anger of the residents of Tarislar comes to the fore. A
series of racist attacks by the terrorist group CoT has resulted in more
vicious street fighting in the barrens as metahuman vigilantes respond
to the terrorist attacks.


"Earlier this evening a group of elven youths entered the Chapel of Rest
behind me, renovated by Thunda's Children last month, and used to feed
and treat the residents of this area. The killing spree was short and
brutal. Seventeen resident families and the two Ork caretakers were
slaughtered brutally with edged weapons - initial statements from the
Police describe the weapons as fireaxes and meat cleavers. After they
had attacked and killed the adults in the building, the young thugs
locked the children into a room and set fire to the building. Fire
fighters arrived on the scene too late to control the blaze, resulting
in the scene you see behind me.


"I hope you are watching this Abbadon, whoever you might be. Look
proudly on what you have achieved. The deaths of yet more children and
innocent civilians. You claim to fight for a cause, yet have no
political statement beyond genocide of UCAS citizens. You claim that
you hate and fight against the presence of metahumans in the UCAS, yet
behind me is evidence of your handiwork. Behind me is the result of
your so called campaign. More senseless deaths.


"I trust you are pleased that you are also responsible for killing the
humans you proclaim to defend."


The camera pans around the crowd, firefighters reeling in hoses, some
looking shocked, police officers laying a cordon around the scene as
forensics teams pick through the burned shell of the building. Meat
wagons ferry bodies away from the scene.


"In an earlier incident in Redmond, a mortar attack against an Elven
Policlub - the Forest Rangers, left sixteen dead and twenty one injured.
Police believe that this attack was a reprisal for the earlier incident.
It seems that the legacy left to Seattle by Thunda in 2057 has yet to
play itself out. I asked at the time whether it was right for the SIGA
agent Lynch to have executed Thunda so publicly, and it appears that I
was right to question that action. Once again we see more terror, more
deaths, more heedless slaughter in the name of a man who was nothing
more than a rabid killer. A public trial of the terrorist Jaxon
Goldsmith would perhaps have achieved more than the martyrdom he has
since achieved.


Back to you Bob...."


A statement has been released....

Are you watching Abbadon? Once upon a time I might have sympathised
with you, once upon a time I might even have agreed with you, but not
now. This is too much, and you may blame the elves, orks, trolls,
whatever for this slaughter, but the simple fact is it's your fault.
YOU killed these people, and others.

The trembling picture of a hand held vidcam shudders, pointing shakily
towards what appears to be a group of lean to shacks. A temporary
shanty town, somewhere in a downbeat part of Seattle.


"We's got de target man, wot do we do now?"


"Frag it."


Weapons flare shadows the cheap film, bullet impacts spark from the
corrugated iron shattering wood and glass. People emerge, caught in the
hail of bullets, tossed around like straw dolls under the multiple
impacts. A few residents fire back, but the fire is broken, nervous and
disorganised.


Several figures, gutter punks from their appearance, carrying ancient
automatics, badly in need of servicing walk forward, spraying the
buildings and anything that moves. One of them smacks his rifle on the
ground several times and tugs at the magazine the weapon eventually
discharging into his face. Bodies litter the street, blood flowing
freely over the cracked sidewalk. One of the punks throws a flaming
bottle at the shacks, flaming petrol sprays across the sidewalk and
across the walls of the makeshift abodes. Several more follow, turning
the area into an inferno.


A woman suddenly runs from one of the burning buildings, heading for the
shelter of an old subway. Other figures emerge from a sidestreet
further up the road - they appear to be armed. A short ugly tattooed
punk fires at the woman, knocking her legs out from under her, she hits
the ground hard, rolling over in pain, the bulging belly evident.


"Fuck man, she's pregnant."


"Fuckin' mutant breeder." The punk empties his clip into the body
until the only movement is from the bullet impacts.


"Shit... Bad ass man..."


"Hey, company." Another punk returns the fire from the approaching
group.


A car engine revs off camera, and the punks run for the vehicle, piling
into the car in a confusion of arms and legs. The old beat up Chevy
pulls heavily into the road, three punks in the back still firing into
the street and the oncoming gang.

that it looks easier to pack up an' live somewhere else.

I trust magic, I don't trust magic used by arrogant fat-heads who

dabble in things and converse with creatures beyond the realm of this
world.


Why do you think I took the name of a demon Thunderstone? Because I
thought it cool? No, because of a creature I encountered as a direct
result of elven dabbling. Something that has been forever burned into
my mind. I care not for your threats, nor do I fear them. I have set
my conditions to this conflict. Either the head of Jason Lynch is
placed on the steps of city hall, or he meets me in single combat - and
not inside a military enclave.


Simple conditions I feel. Not beyond the ability of this city to
achieve, and not beyond reason. I do not request the release of other
terrorists, I do not demand astronomical amounts of money, the death of
the President or similar such lunacy. Just the head of one man. Why is
that so difficult for you people to understand?


There have been deaths, deaths of people you all claim to be innocents.
They are only innocent until they are aware of their surroundings, a few
months in the cradle, then they are no longer innocent, the corruption
present in this city has begun it's work. They are killed to prevent
the suffering they will cause later, and the fear they will bring if
allowed to continue in life. Others will follow, as my people begin in
earnest to cleans this city of the filth that infests it. Those that
have died thus far are only a symbol, an indication of the terror that
is to come unless I am humoured in my strange request.


You will all have one week to produce the head of Jason Lynch, or may
whatever Gods you worship help you. Meanwhile, the light will brighten
