who know
me you will know that in the past I have spoken how I have never been able to
return to the country that I was born and brought up in, England. I never
bothered explaining the reasons as there was nothing anyone could have done to
help me unless they had high up connections with MCT. However a few days after
my last message to this board I recieved a disturbing message from my father
informing me that my mother had gone missing and that the company employing
her 'Southtech' (MCT is the major shareholder, it is also my former employer)
had temporarily ceased trading. Several hours after the message I nearly
get scragged by a bunch of MCT goons waiting for me outside. Needless to say
I got away.
I soon decided that the best thing was to travel home to England and find out
what had happened to my mother. The rest of the team agreed to come along if
I paid expenses. I won't bore you with details, fortunately my decker friend
Chipper managed to arrange for a diversion at customs so that we could get a
few of our more technological toys through, he also put us onto a fixer near
the Portsmouth naval base who could supply us with guns, ammo etc.
We made contact with my father, (a huge man now scince he goblinized and became
a troll) who had already started investigations of his own. His own findings
confirmed my worst fears that we had been lured into a trap. The reason you
ask ? Remember about a year ago there was a series of raids on MCT
establishments in Seattle often involving the destruction of research labs,
well that was me assisted by my able friends, purely for revenge and profit.
I did however stop when the heat got too much and narrowly avoided capture, but
1 month ago similiar raids started, almost identical to my own from a year
previous. Well thinking back now, it must have been fairly obvious where MCT
were looking for the perputuator.
My father had a couple of leads which we followed up finding that more than
one of them was an invitation to an MCT ambush. Eventually we found the
loaction of my mother, she was being held in an old warehouse by the Southampton
docks. We new there would be major SH*T in there but we had no other choice
but to go in and do the best we could.
Believe me, we planned well, Speed had got hold of a couple of drones and had
managed to smuggle his remote deck through, myself, Punisher, Polish, Blade and
I.B.A. had got hold of some old FH-HAR's, though we had to do without fancy
toys like grenade launchers, LMG's or even smartgun adaptors. Noname had
recently finsihed bonding his pride and joy, a brand new power focus, believe
me even mundanes can see the power he carried when he used to activate his two
power foci. We tried checking it out astrally but found it powerfully warded,
we tried checking it out electronically but every time one of Speed's drones
got close the E/M interfereance emenating from the building rendered it's
sensors useless.
Eventually we went in, Punisher took out the security cameras with a crossbow
he had got hold off. The team then split myself, my father, Blade and Polish
went on one side, Punisher, I.B.A. and Noname the other, together with Speed's
two drones. We planned, but what happened was a pure bloodfight, inside it
was pitch black, then we were attacked by 4, yes 4 Barghests, Blade's throat
was ripped out and my father was left with a badly ripped arm. Myself and
Polish had managed to slip into melee combat slightly quicker than the other
two and so were saved. The other team was facing equal problems as they
found themselves under astral attack from Noname's and IBA's active spell locks.
Noname quickly became involved in astral combat, astral combat alas that he
didn't come back alive from.
Just after the first attack the second came, this time blinding spotlights were
turned onto us as quickly followed by automatic gunfire. The next five minutes
invloved a series a dodging maneuvers followed by some serious covering fire
as the group lead by Punisher covered the group lead by myself as we made our
way to a small office at the back of the warehouse, which is where we presumed
my mother was being held.
In the office was a bound and gagged elderly black woman, my mother, besides
her was a young looking executive with a Fichetti pistol in his hand, standing
near the door was the muscle, fortunately just one, but inside on the floor,
were two bodies, both looked like they had been burnt seriously from the inside.
These I realised later were the two mages that killed Noname, but died in the
process.
The battle was short, I had my still bloody sword at the muscle's throat before
he even knew I was there, at which point Polish pumped a burst into the exec.
Radioing to the rest of the group we had completed our objective my father ran
to my mother whilst I checked the mages really were dead.
We had to move quickly, English police will lock you up for along time if they
find you in possession of anything with more fire power than a heavy pistol,
and will heavily fine you just for possession of a hold out. What we had on
us and the fact that we had used them would warrant a full scale incident in
England, whilst the same thing happening in Seattle's barrens might just get
a mention on the 6 O'clock news. Needless to say we got out quickly, and onto
a boat that we had arranged prior to going in. Unfortunately we had to leave
Noname's and Blade's bodies behind in that stinking warehouse.
My mother and father are with me know, I had IBA and Chipper clean out their
assets from England and remove references to them in Corporate files. But I'm
staying in my safe house until whoever has started this new series of raids
against MCT stops and it's not really a place for my Mum and Dad.
What I need is somewhere for them to live safely, our orginal ancestors
(4 generations ago) were from Jamica. Does anyone have any info on immigration
to the Carribean League, not forgetting that my father is a Troll. I also
need info on whoever is carrying out these raids on MCT, cause whoever it is
they have made the raids appear almost identical to mine of a year ago. So
if someone is out to get me, I'd like to know. I've already lost two good
friends out of it. Noname, Blade your names will not be forgotten.
So what am I doing now ? Well looking for info as just stated, especially
somewhere for Mum and Dad to stay. I also need some cash seriously as most of
what I had invested I will need to use for death benefits to Noname's tribe
and Blades family, not forgetting rehousing my parents. I noticed someone
asking for help here on the board, but he/she remained anonymous, however they
did mention Nightstalker and Sceptre's name. These two I know, from the
sounds of things I could also handle the vacancy caused by Sceptre. So
anonymous, if you are intrested in employing me fill me in. Most importantly
with your name, as I won't work for people I don't know. But if Nightstalker
can vouch for you then I'm available. Contact me at this node as there is no
way I'm giving out the LTG of my safe house. ]<<<<<
